Got here a day early!

Sincerely loving Starscream so far. I’m quite pleased with him, but he isn’t without his flaws. I’d have thought that after the HftD Leader, DotM deluxe, and SS Voyagers they’d have finally nailed a perfect, definitive Starscream for the MPM line, but I guess not. He’s still very excellent though. Particularly in the legs.

Seriously he’s got gorgeous legs. :APPLAUSE:

His range of motion is fantastic for a big movie MP, but still not as great has his deluxe and voyagers from the last several years. Nothing is going to be as versatile as ball joints I guess. Still very good though. And his hands are remarkable.

Seriously...his hands are gorgeous.

I do wish they would have done something about his butt flap. It’s small, but it’s there. I’m assuming it was a compromise for better stability in either mode, but still it is slightly distracting. I’m sure I’ll get over it. It wouldn’t have stopped me from buying him, had I noticed it before.

And obviously the use of diecast on his feet and shoulders is wonderful.

Since I had just posted that I got these in my last haul, I wanted to report real fast that they work very well for TF figures, even though they’re made by Bandai. They have a number of pieces that connect so if one piece doesn’t fit a gun or something, adding another can make it fit just fine. Pretty wonderful for $6 a set. Just wanted to let anyone looking for effects parts know that these work. Even on some MP and MPM.

I'm so jealous! :-(

Mine was back ordered for two weeks from now, unless target decides to drop my order from May.

Got my Sunstreaker too along with all these other goodies

News Credits: 100 · by **-Kanrabat-** » Tue Nov 03, 2020 8:16 pm

Finally got my MPM Starscream too from Amazon.JP.
I'm a bit pissed about that early clearance thing but at least, the toy is impressive and HEAVY in jet mode.

I've yet to transform him.

I was able to go from jet to robot without the instructions. But not the other way.

A package arrived today from our very own Rodimus Prime, and I am stoked. Some much needed parts, an Animated Botcon figure, and the final piece of Battle Core Maximus!

Very nice, D-Max! Massively jealous of Animated G2 Sideswipe and CW Ratchet! ;)^

Couldn’t resist the small sale on deluxes at Target. Plus I got a gift card out of it. Ignore MPM Starscream box. I haven’t made a home for it just yet.

From Amazon and HasbroPulse

Yeah, I also got Tigertrack in from Pulse today. Yesterday I got ER Fasttrack and Runamuck in. Unfortunately I'm among those that had Ironhide and Prowl delayed to the end of the month.

I got Runamuck delayed as well, but Amazon still charged me for him, so hopefully he gets shipped sooner than the delay.

Small haul today but I'm glad to have found a lone ER Blue/Silverstreak at E.B Games.

Nice find. I have yet to search any Walgreens near me, Bluestreak isn't a priority for me. I want an actual blue Bluestreak from the comics. Most likely will never happen. I did get my Runamuck today. He UPS driver threw him at my front door and then ran away. No damage to the box or figure.

Bought from eBay: Custom "Gen" Windstepper using Cybertron Jetfire.

I randomly happenned on this custom on Canadian eBay. The bid started as 40$CAN. Never having the Cybertron Jetfire mold, and that Jetfire being way too expensive 100% complete, I bidded at 41$CAN just in case..... and I won!

So here it is:

More pictures and a review HERE.

Looks like a custom Sky Shadow. That's a great mold, I love the character and I like WW2 bombers. I just wish he had been red and white instead of green.

Oh yes. The clear yellow plastics give it away.
Still, same mold. A mold that is not perfect, but it's awesome to finally have it.

I love my hubby.

He's a horrible enabler.

: Two for the price of one!

They were his idea after another sale. Both are complete with only minor sticker wear, and Horri-Bull's neck joint is unbroken.

Went to 5 Below and found Mighty Mugs there. Picked up Optimus and Megatron. Just like with the original style these are the only two I intend to buy.

Checked two Walgreens while out, still no luck with Bluestreak. They always ask me if they can help, but they couldn't help last year so I just say no and leave. I found out last year that the stores here only get one or two per week and they usually sell out the same day so I'm really just taking a chance when I go in. They don't have any specific peg or shelf space set aside for them while the Hasbro Marvel exclusives have 4 (empty) pegs set aside so that shows what line they're really backing.

If anyone remembers my Dinobot Misfits team from a week ago i just added snarl. all 5 dinobots accounted for. haven't transformed him. He and Sludge (teal brachiosaurus on the box) can both be rather stiff.

The green markers show which ones i have.

Dinobots transform and smash!

Got all the POTP Terrorcons in this week. I don't care about the new ones coming out, as I think these are glorious (and I save $100 in the process). I'm really enjoying them so far.

The vanilla PotP Terrorcons are excellent and one of the best combiners of that generation.

Great score! ;)^
