Just snatched Transformers S.I.E.G.E Sideswipe at my local hobby store during Free Comic Book Day event ( didn't grab any comics, the line was way to long.) Man he looks great! His box was suspiciously beat up though but everything is in order.

But he cost me a lot of my budget 4699 out of 4800 with very few cash left, barely enough for a saturday soda but not enough for a haribo candybag or mc donalds meal also.

Pretty big mixed haul today is the start of the bad decisions haul, mostly from Seibertron himself!

Sureshot was from an ebay auction, so I can finally, after 7 months, complete Perceptor. Also got a Vector Prime, so even though they are the wrong colors for each other, Safeguard finally has his bulk too

i here that!

Got my Ricochet today! Absolutely adore the selects packaging, and I hope to find a place for him in a combiner team, somewhere...
Pay no attention to the bot behind him.

Ah well, I guess the jig’s up. :lol:

It’s an exceptionally wide IDW Kaon!

Found him yesterday, couldn't resist and got him. 50$ is a steal, and I got one with excellent hips and a tail. Those stickers tho...

Excellent stuff. Patience and tweezers, is how I overcame the stickers. Still haven't got Metroplex out of the box I bought months ago, because I don't have that time right now. I do take issue with the fact modern figures are bundled with stickers at all as a bit of a con, but it is what it is.

Whoooh! Beast Wars haul!

Got the Mach Kick/Archadis two-pack in the mail Friday, and Rampage just arrived today. I’m also waiting on Long Rack/Guiledart two-pack to arrive. Should be here by the end of the week. :DANCE:

Nice! I would not have thought of that, but it doesn't look half bad!

So, I'm not sure what I have shared or not, but here is my collective haul for I'd say the last month to two months. My wallet is not thrilled with me these days.

Not pictured, I've also bough Siege Ironhide, Prowl, and Chromia, but since those figures are lame and suck ass, I've given them to my sons. Galaxy Prime went to them tonight as well. I shocked at how this line hit so well with the Decepticon Voyagers, but crapped out failures everywhere else.

Part 4 of my bad decisions week arrived. Though in this case, it was a smart choice, as TFsource had triple source points for anything shipped 2 weekends ago. Ricochet and Swoop were too late to make the shipment, but I got a heck of a lot of source points, so it's ok to wait on them.

News Credits: 1642 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Wed May 08, 2019 8:40 pm

Well, here we have part 5 (I think) of the bad decision week. And a new combiner is birthed!

News Credits: 1642 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Thu May 09, 2019 7:15 pm

Last part for now, who knows when my last package will arrive.

Is it sad that of this lot, Stakeout was my most anticipated bot? Hopefully not, cause I love him

News Credits: 6 · by **AllNewSuperRobot** » Fri May 10, 2019 2:52 pm

By a random chance viewing on EBay... I got him!

2014 BOTCON exclusive 'Pirate Brimstone'

So, with Sonic Attack Jet and Air Raid already en route, I have effectively completed the BM Jetstorm mold variants and the WFC Shockwave Mold Variant set too! Pics inbound on arrival.

Aww yeah, I gotta get that Inferno...he looks like Fire Chief from Guard City. I wish Takara would mane a Guard City and a Battle Gaia from the Combiner Wars mold since the already did Big Powered. Man that combined mode is hot

Picked up a great condition G1 Powermaster Optimus Prime for $1 at my local glea market. No trailer, just the cab, but I got both black guns and Hi-Q, so I'm glad I got a great deal.

If anyone is selling the trailer and smokestack guns for $10ish, PM me!

I forgot that was a separate piece :lol:

I'm not going to prolong this conversation, so if anyone is willing to sell the trailer, smokestack guns, and head for $10ish, PM me.

Semester's over, so I'm home as of yesterday and was able to open these:

Hasbro's Air Raid, or Takara's?

This one. He matches my WFC Shockwave, which I assume is also the Hasbro version. When Brimstone arrives, I'll post pics of all three. Can't believe I'm almost finished with my variant collection.

Finally found and picked up Siege Pteraxadon and Aimless this morning at Walmart. I really like the Targetmasters, they're much more complex than they look and make for convincing guns. Pteraxadon might be the best of the Battle Masters class. He's effectively a quadruplechanger with his Pteranodon, ax, and gun modes, but despite having ax in his name he's officially listed in the instructions as a scythe so flip up a wing for an unofficial scythe mode. ;)^

Inferno was the best Voyager from PotP, he is great! I love the colors, and he had some tweaking done to make him more stable and hold together better. and "Infernocus" is great! I like how it all balanced out and also color matched as well as it did!

Happy Birthday to me! :DANCE:

Not much of a haul, setting money aside for a little project. But I did get some figures:

Siege WFC-S10 Skytread
Studio Series #41 Constructicon Scrapmetal

Slowly catching up with the lines, but I'm still missing that blasted Roadtrap to complete the final Duocon :BANG_HEAD:

*ahem* Two pieces down, a loooong wait to go for Mr. Wrecking Balls.
