I dont know, I still feel I paid a bit much, he is quite underwhelming. I will say more in the TR thread when I have a chance.

Congrats on FM. I also have the regular retail version and was quite happy with it. Not having a standalone weapon didn't bother me that much in the beginning, but it kept eating at me. I eventually gave in and bought a 3P Master Sword, and it made me happier than I expected. It's only the second 3P product I have as I'm not really into 3P stuff (oddly enough, the other 3P I have is Six Gun for Metroplex because I bought him without any of his guns). I highly recommend some weapon for FM, makes him so much better. Here's mine:

Well, I found this:

http://chimungmung.com/product_info.php ... ts_id=3435

But fok me, this is ludicrously expensive.
Like, holy cow, 68$US shipped... That's over 90$CAN! :shock:

It's less expensive at BBTS:
http://chimungmung.com/images/TB2q9VLcm ... 852858.jpg

But it's still 55$US shipped. Meaning 73$CAN. With a risk this time, of being screwed with an extra 30$CAN of custom fees.

I just can't win.

Just picked up TT Fangry and Repugnus (hey, both were cheap) and plan to pick up Ptero and Sawback soon.

This was another TRU purchase I made. Repugnus btw is the sole fig left of his case lot unlike Fangry and the others. So I should count my blessing that I managed to nail one.

He's so ugly bugly that he's cute/kawaii!(And I'm a guy :-P )

Surprisingly, his TM face is painted (the small robot head).

Hey Everyone! Sorry it's been a while, I hope all is well, and Happy New year!

So my hall over the past month and a half has been Astrotrain, Alpha Trion, Chromedome, Weirdwolf, and Mindwipe.
I'm in love with Astrotrain and Alpha Trion :lol: such awesome figures!

Yay, winding down on what I need from wave 3 of TR. Only missing kickback now. About MP Bee, I got him for $38 USD at TRU today. its quite a fall from what TRU canada first wanted for this toy ($100 USD 8-} ) but then it sank to 80 then 60 and now with the coupon I got it for 38.

Good catch on that Bee, Will!

I really should have waited. I got the Takara from BBTS... With shipping, exchange rate, and A :michaelbay: SURPRISE HEFTY CUSTOM FEE :michaelbay: I paid mine at OVER 100$US total. :BANG_HEAD:

That was the very last time I ordered anything from BBTS.

Thanks! I had already gotten the red one for $30 US since I thought I would never find the yellow bee for a decent price like this. But at $38 US, I couldnt say no. especially since it comes with that extra mech suit which is more involved than I thought.

Got a nice little bot today.

HENKEI ASTROTRAIN!

Complete with gun, in perfect condition, for only 35$CAN shipped!

Image

I bought from a fellow Canadian. He could have charged around 5$ less of shipping for a "slower" service and I bet it could have arrived at the same time. Oh well. Even with that, it's sill the cheapest Henkei Astrotrain found on Ebay since a while.

I consider the TR voyager to be way superior, but it's nice to finally have this classic mold in my collection. With my white and black colored G1, my Astrotrain molds collection is complete. That is, until the eventual MP.
