Gooood, good. Now buy two more!

LOL, I know I did! I didn't need 3 Sweeps, but these Legends sharkticons? I couldn't resist - and 3 seems perfect!

Nope, that Bee doesn't have the same details and instead has dirt effects.

Not a toy, but still TF related. Taking advantage of Madmans sale ...

Why is the first part of Armada rated G and the rest of the trilogy rated PG? :-?

To lull you into a false sense of security.

On a national holiday in the middle of an ice storm, the US Postal Service still delivers.
Now that's a heck of a way to celebrate civil liberties FOR ALL!

The Australian Classification system is a wonderful thing.

MP Inferno I have to agree is on the bland side due to Takara's anime accuracy thrust so just picked this one from ebay (again)

Man, I hope I'll ever find these in the Netherlands or Belgium

There's one friggin shop who SOMETIMES has wave 1 titans return stuff. But I already have all 4 deluxes from wave 1. I want Wolfwire and Hot Rod! Maybe Triggerhappy and certainly Perceptor and Kup.

If I can find Kickback, I'll certainly pick up Bombshell too (still gathering dust in a few shops here). The challenge will be finding Skrapnel...

Congrats Cobo, looking forward to hearing your thoughts on that Hot Rod. Personally, I think he succeeds more than the MP, when comparing price points.I am very impressed with how elegant and simple they achieved his look in both modes.

I like mine but mostly after changes I made from simple things like leaving the bottom of the chest part 'untransformed' to more customy bits like shaving the shoulder joints and repainting the figure. I'm much happier with it now than when I first got it.

I am especially envious of that Black Knight Bee and Black Rodimus. Both look really cool

Your ML "Shockwave" is one of the best bricks ever! :BOWDOWN:

Sure is. I'm not a huge fan of Armada, but TW has to be the best of the line!

Got a whole bunch of stuff at the thrift shop for 20$ (mostly 90s goodness), can you spot some fun stuff in the bag? More in my collection thread!

Like a week ago I got an awesome deal on a full TFC Hercules with the add on set, and it just arrived now. Got the whole set for $200.

My two Titan Masters now have a little buddy to fight with:

Titans Return Decepticon Fangry

And he's great. Why do the Decepticons get the cooler drones, especially with two animal modes?

I think I'm going to limit myself to the classic 1988 ones (Crashbash, Terri-Bull, Nightbeat) for now. When is Hosehead gonna be revealed?

Had a crappy trip to Cambridge so was looking to treat myself. However this is all I could find that was decently priced.

And it's fine... makes a nice Shockwave if you got a whole load of Cyberverse type TFs but this is meant to be used with regular TF figures? Clearly you can see Voyager Megatron and Galvatron dwarf lil Shrimpwave/Shortwave/Shockwaif. Ah well, it was only £5.99 from B&M rather than usual £10 price for that line of figs. Perhaps he tried to usurp Megatron again and got his brain transferred into a tiny body for his punishment. Is only logical thing I can think for such an illogical figure of a very logical character.

Toys R Us' Transformers section has shrunk too. No Titans other than Legends and Titan Master heads. Some RID stuff. That's all? Marvel stuff has pushed into the TF section cos the Star Wars toys now take up double space they used to. Pft. Hopefully this will be corrected when the Last Knight figures appear to fight back against all that.

There's a 'The Entertainer' store in Cambridge now too but there prices are silly. £23 for a Titans Deluxe figure? That's like £6 more than most places! :O

Overkill?
