I'll let you all know how it turns out.

Cool! Definitely let us know. I think you'll like Fixit.

S'funny how I preordered TAV Jazz/SS, then found the Hasbro's for the first time two days later all Sir Waltons. Couldn't afford them either way, but had I been able to I probably woulda bought them.

Jus down at da Targets.

Well, Sideswipe, everything you heard is true. But what you didn't hear is that despite his shoulder dystocia, he is awesomely pose-able and his transformation kicks assssss-sssss! The color discrepancies are certainly there in alt mode, but disappear in bot. Which LOOKS really good. I'm not sorry I got him. At all.

Underbite and Fixit? Awesome little legions. Exactly what I expected.
Fixit is great. It's like the Transformers Universe finally got an R2. :DANCE:

You just joined? I thought you were the president.

That avatar has an even more comical effect on your posts than the last. :lol:

Yeah, but I think I'll be screwed over the shipping cost. The seller better use super Xpress post or something.

At least, buying from a fellow Canadian, I'm sure not to pay any customs.

Nice!! I had Jetfire back in the day, sold him with the rest of my Transformers to a collector. He was one of the hardest to part with. Looks like you found a great deal. =)

Hey J, that's a nice looking haul too BTW.
Do those HL guys not come with their drivers?

And I like your approach to Combiner Wars as stated in your previous haul.

by **jay5** » Tue Jun 23, 2015 5:54 pm

Thanks! Not sure what you mean by HL guys... drivers = these?

Human Alliance.
(The "L" must be a typo or something)

I wonder how PREMIUM the deco on yours are?

News Credits: 131 · by **no-one** » Tue Jun 23, 2015 6:14 pm

And here I was all excited for a couple legion figures. Nice hauls everyone. Gots a question for who ever wants to answer. Which Soundwave is that in that Barricade/SW pack that Johnny#5 got?

Is it this one?

I'm not into the movie figs, but that one really called out to me. As usual I sat on my laurels and missed out.

That one is the Black DELUXE version that came out last year.
The one in the 2 pack is the kick-ass voyager-esque Human Alliance:
(Here, shown the normal one. The one from the 2 pack may have a better deco)

Truly a great mold. Unless you settle for a KO, it goes for a pretty penny.

Total typo bros. Sorry.

and Cary, we celebrate any size haul around here.

Like this little one.
Fixit, show them what they've won!

by **jay5** » Tue Jun 23, 2015 6:45 pm

Correct, it's the larger size but with some special paint deco that are most noticeable in robot mode.

One thing the product descriptions don't communicate well is scale. I had no idea they were different sizes until I got them. Here's a quick lineup of various cars from different lines to give you an idea of how they scale in comparison.

I know, right? Still, with shipping, it's still ammount to around 173$CAN, which is a LOT of money.
Will that thing REALLY cost 40$US to ship? Within Canada? I highly doubt it.
