First time for me for this mold, was a little bit of a challenge without the instructions, but I figured it out. I really love the 1/2 track tank mode with full rotation and elevation on the gun barrel.

I envy that Skullgrin of yours, nice haul!

I picked up Bumblebee and Prime a few days ago and I finally got to open them today. Neither figure blew me away, but I like them enough to not be disappointed. I like Bee in car mode, which is the reason I bought him, so I guess it was worth it. And I bought Prime for my Prime collection, and he fits in perfectly between deluxe and voyager Prime. My only problem is the color scheme. He's just too dark in all the colors. The grille should be chrome instead of dark gray, and the blue and red should be lighter. Otherwise, no complaints. It's a solid, well-proportioned figure. Not worth $30, but there's not much that can be done about the price.

The only other figure I want from SS is leader Blackout, and leader DoTM Megatron and Shockwave as well as leader AoE Galvatron, if they get made.

Because I'm basically a few months behind everyone else ... I actually found a store that was selling POTP Grimlock today, so I grabbed him.

Then I hit up TRU, found a POTP Optimus Prime in a badly beat up box, they took $10 off. Yay me! :roll:

So I grabbed him too.

Glad to hear they're not dicks at your TrU. At mine, they would just have refused the sale if the box was trashed.

I was hoping for at least $20. As it was, I nearly turned the offer down but $10 was better than nothing considering I never get there when they have sales on.

So I'm in vacation in Jupiter Florida, and picked up thus guy on a wim.

Not bad, obviously it's super simple, but very solid.

Just added Prime Master Micronus Prime/w Cloudburst into my collection alongside my earlier Vector Prime/Metalhawk purchase. (The only other one they have is Liege Maximo/Skullgrin but don't like the claw accessory)

The twin barrelled vulcan laser gun does make him slightly prone to folding over when it's in his hands but its a minor issue.

I'm really hoping that we get Prime Master Bludgeon soon

Got the rid saberclaw crash combiner today from target. Surprised I was able to find it. Been seeing the warrior class twinferno popping up this past week, but no thermidor/bludgeon :/

I've been keeping an eye out for Saberclaw and Primelock, was hoping they would finish of RiD for me, but much like Heatseeker and Cyclonus, they never show up here.

As for a haul, check these sexy cons out;

Shajaki, if you can find the time, It would be nice to see a pictorial review of Rouge in the 3P forum. To see if she's better than Leah and if she's worth buying.

Those are such quality figures. You can get some amazing poses out of RotF Bludgeon. I’ve got all three Animated Lockdowns, but I missed out on that one. Only saw it in the wild once, but I didn’t have the free cash at the time. Same story with the more movieish Lugnut. Same store, too. I’d love to find them both at a reasonable price.

Very nice finds.

I was about to... but for the life of me I can't find the thread :oops:

There's the one about their questionable marketing, but I swear it had it's own thread before that. If anyone can link it, it'd be appreciated!

Also, sorry, off topic.

Meh, just create a new thread.
For now, there's still zero video reviews so it'll be great.

Forgive my insolence Burn :lol:

I'm just not a fan of the all encompassing thread. If I wanna talk about one figure specifically, I don't want to jumble through that entire thread 8-}

Interesting Finds!

Quillfire is short, but very enjoyable. Make sure you get that extra quill out!

I am probably the only person who likes Ultra Bee, but I think he is cool for what he is.

Studio series Grimlock, that is a golden piece right there.
