Decided to go get Sheetz for dinner and stop at Walmart real quick on the way. Was worth it:

Finally got my BBTS POL: TR Hot Rod and Gnaw, Plat Insecticons, and UW Computron. Will space out opening of the figures. I've only opened Hot Rod thus far. As I suspected, I really like the car mode, but don't love the bot mode. It's the shoulders that bother me most, but I can live with it.

Picked this guy up at target today. Meh, I'm not all that fond of these, but they are only 5 bucks so...... addiction.

Wellp, CW Deva has arrived today, but I am waiting until Christmas morning to open it and celebrate for once. I also have something else coming to, but it is Star Wars related.

Opened up Gnaw. The figure is a lot of fun. I'm really hoping to be able to find a whole bunch on clearance so I can build a small army.

Yea I know it's not likely, probably wishful thinking on my part. I've only started seeing wave 2 deluxes and voyagers by me. I'm not sure why distribution in the NYC area is so terrible. It's not even limited to just Target or TRU, but everything. As much as I'd like to pick up a few extra Gnaws, I'd only do it at a discount.

My wallet has strongly protested, so your wallet and mine feel the same! But he was well worth it!

real quick question: Does the MP-10 mold have die cast feet parts?

I actually really like Lione. If you see Fangry, you should give him a whirl. He's the best of the wave, but the whole of it is pretty good.

But then again, you have higher standards, so eh

yes he has diecast feet

D-Max, I've been meaning to ask you. Are there any minor QC issues with SG OP? Specifically, do the legs tab together well when in truck mode? That was a minor issue with the MP-10 Hasbro reissue, so just wondering if they fixed those kinks in subsequent reuses of the mold.

His truck mode tabs together well. the only truck mode issue I can see is that the little pieces like his headlights don't hold 100% of the time. the legs tab and stay in.

In robot mode, the head is ever so slightly floppy though, forward and back.

That's it as far as I've noticed, and this guy has barely left my side

Got a belated Bday Amazon gift card from some family, so since the ol' letter to Santa is filled with TR stuff, I thought I'd back paddle a bit.

Cybertron Scouts Wreckloose and Backstop, and Beast Wars Basic Drill Bit.
Backstop was listed as complete, but there's no Cyber Key. Oh well. Good thing I have a whole bucket of them! :lol:

Also, with these to Cybertron figures that completes my Cybertron collection! :KREMZEEK:

I have one of every mold original to the line (not including repaints of Energon or Armada toys).

That's a great pose with Cromedome and Rewind. My GF would love that.

Dunno about the Takara, but the Hasbro MP-10 I have is 100% plastics appart the screws and pins.

If you want some WEIGHT and something ridiculously METAL, hunt down a MP-01. Any versions. It's now relatively cheap and easy to find. It's HUGE, HEAVY and impressive.

I also got some blasts from the pasts. That red alert is a mcdonalds release and I find it so cool that they made them minicon compatible.

Also, I just realized how much Beast Machines Scavenger works so well for the name of the line. He is a Mechanical beast!

SCAVENGER!! :michaelbay:

Are you seeing why I said in that one list he is one of my top Scout/Basic figures? From his grasping claws to his chomping jaws, to say nothing of the smart use of chrome and clear plastic. Just an overall fun figure.

Gotta love MP-01! I considered getting one, but went with MPP-10....
