Got another sweet haul from the Mall of Counterpunch. I have all 3 of the Cybertron Jetfire mold, a ghost to bust, another Wreckers, and a daft idiot that is hilarious

I totally got Siege Springer for 12.99 at Ross (Dress for Less). The one in my area (South Dayton) also had a Starscream(12.99), a Hound (7.99), and a Skytread(7.99). This is apparently a nationwide closeout/sale. I highly recommend heading down to one to see what they have!!

I finally got Scorponok a couple of days ago and I've enjoyed playing with him.

I've been waiting 30 years for these shots.

DUDE!

That mean ER Scorponok is perfectly in scale with G1 Fortmax! :APPLAUSE:

Yep! The only reason Max is slightly taller is because I'm using PE Warden as his head.

Got an over-sized Slash in the mail today! That brings my total of Slashes' up to 4 now. Three official, one KO! I might just get more because I can't stop.

MPM 10 Starscream earlier this week and I found Studio Series Deluxe Leadfoot at Target last night.

I'm a bit pissed off that MPM Starscream is not only already out in the USA, but people already have it in hand. All while I'm stuck to wait until mid November for my Amazon.JP order to come through. #-o

I’m in the same boat, waiting for mine from Amazon.jp, but to be perfectly blunt I’m glad. I feel like there’s soooo much out right now, and coming out in the next two months. Knowing that I’ve got my MPM Starscream on lock as a preorder, but not having to pay until he ships in November is a massive relief.

Walmart finally shipped my Netflix version of Siege Megatron. The differences between this and his original retail release are enormous. I expected to like it more, but not this much. Plus Pinpointer is a welcome addition to my collection, and Lionizer is awesome. Absolutely worth double dipping on this mold.

Been a while since I posted a haul. Then again, there has been little to nothing new at retail.
This is a combination of thrift stores hauls and Walmart hauls.

Giant Armada Red Alert. Scale be damned! :lol:

Pretty good figure, though.

In Canadian dollars?
NOICE! Very worth it. Too bad such clearance sales are only for individual Walmarts.
Mine have a big pile of fokkall to sell.

Just realized I haven't taken a moment to post my own stuff. The February Target sales are still proving to have been an amazing deal. Saturday my Snapdragon showed up, he only came to $15.

On Monday my Scorponok came in from Amazon. Managed to knock his price down to $129 thanks to free Bing Amazon gift cards I've been saving up since around this time last year. After Omega Supreme became so scarce by the end of last year I wasn't going to take a chance on Scorponok's price dropping on its own and missing a good deal. Of course the reissue made that a bit of a moot point, but whatever.

Only retail one yep. the only other Earthrise related voyagers I'm getting are ones using the conehead molds, but they aren't retail Earthrise figures

Apparently i got lucky when i purchased the last Siege Reflector figure yesterday.
I went to the first Hagkaup store in Smáralind shopping center but all they had were 2 Hound and 2 Brunt. I managed to find a employee and a short phone-call later they told me another nearby Hagkaup in another nearby mall called Kringlan had put 1 Reflector figure for me.

Its a great figure.

Do you have 2 others or do you still have to hunt them?

I don't plan to. Siege figures are quite expensive here and the camera isn't that significant for me but I'm low on Decepticons
Also I like his soldier design and lack of any bad kibble on his body.

However Prowl and Barricade are a special case where i didn't mind owning a retool/repaint since both of them are great.

So I got Cyberverse Arcee and Earthrise Doubledealer. Arcee is excellent. I love her look and while it is very G1, it is also a design of its own, especially in alt mode. I am really happy with the amount of paint and different colours used on her. I really like how they made sure there would be no issue with her standing/posing. Really satisfied with her overall.

Doubledealer though, uugh. They are really trying my patience with this leader price point. Unlike the other leaders, there are fewer extras here and he really feels closer to the voyager price point than he leader price point. He's not a big voyager either, just standard in size. Transformation is ok, not great and funny enough that chest piece really does get in the way, both physically and aestehtically in the alt modes (especially vehicle mode). While there is no partsforming like in the G1 toy, I don't think that benefits the toy at all.

By comparison I feel I am getting way more for my money with voyager class SS Megatron (pictured below) than leader class Doubledealer.
