Let me brag about my unhaul.

I sold my TF Encore 20A Devastator to my friend for 100$CAN. I applied the stickers and transformed it only 1 or 2 times but I didnt like it. So it went back into it's box, awaiting a new owner since. I paid it 130$CAN shipped just a few months ago and nowaday, the lowest it go for brans new is 200$CAN shipped. So, my friend got a nice deal and I could get back most of my money. 30$ to rent a G1 Devy, not bad....

I love the RID line. It was quite a breakthrough in engineering complexity, and JRX (Rail Racer) is a good example of that. And yes, most are nearly the same but Rail Racer is a big exception. The two versions are done very differently : http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Rail_Racer_(RID)#Robots_in_Disguise_.282001.29

Thanks to this new acquisition I now have every new mold that was released for that line/cartoon

Oh yes he is! Since a child, he only ever had the Bulldozer Constructicon. Lately, he bought a VINTAGE KO Hook without accessories for 4$. So when he talked to me about buying a new TF, I remembered how he LOVE vintage Gobots and G1 TFs. Not complicated, and nostalgia value. So I proposed to him that Constructicon set.

In the end, he did paid me the full 130$ price that I originally paid by paying me my Burger King and my Star Wars movie ticket! I proposed to pay but he was pretty adamant to invite me. In the end, we where BOTH pretty pappy!

I've been going Blaster/Soundwave/Cassette crazy lately, and that SG set is one of the last things I need.

I highly recommend them.

I put my eyes on the mess that is Scattershot this weekend. I like the head, but that was it.

I'm trying to decide if I'm getting him for completion's sake. I mean. I've bought everything CW and UW so far, but Scatty terribility is off the charts. :SICK:

Does that mean you wouldnt get Takara's if they use this same Scattershot? And will you be getting UW Grand Convoy Prime and the Hasbro G2s as well as Victorion?

I wait for clearance/sales for those figures I don't want but I feel I need. There is a strange sense of satisfaction in that. :-?

If Takara made a Computron.... I dunno. Honestly I don't see it happening unless Hasbro makes all the Deluxe figures first. Sure they're willing to make one to complete a set (Groove, hopefully Blast-Off) but 4? Even if they're all retools, I don't see it.

And I'm down for Grand Convoy, Grand Galvatron, and all the G2's they wanna throw at us

At 18$+tax each limbs without any Onslaught is a big nope for me. Beside, I think I'm done with CW. This shelf is full.

Ah but at least you cant say there is nothing new to buy. There is, you just dont want it. And I dont blame you. Especially when Predaking and that Go Bot combiner look far cooler than the rest of that shelf (to me).
