Besides Runamuck, I have completed the retail Earthrise figures

The only one I'm missing is the judge but I want to see if that judgment set gets distributed better in Canada.

I got the Pit set with the Judge, whom I wasn't planning to get otherwise. I don't like the Quint at all, it's just not good to me. If it weren't for the Bailiff I would not have gotten that set, and I enjoyed the rest besides the Judge.

also, because Rodimus Prime said it and it made me notice it, yes, FLIP DOWN THE DAMN FEET WILL!!!

[william-james88]

Hahaha, yes I flipped them.diwn after Rodimus' comment. He's in scorpion mode now which is pretty damn epic.

New page! New old stuff!
Action Master Blaster ... and he can stand on his own without falling over! That's how good his condition is!

Nice! I actually like the Actionmasters, even though I lost the ones I had. Regardless, that's a nice find to get one in such great shape.

My SHARK collection is growing.....

Got a Gigawatt today (one of the ones below). Holding onto my reciept since 60$ is mighty high and I hope it goes on sale.

I may do the same if I ever see it live in store. However, I'm not holding my breath because so far, Skylinx never got on sale and my receipt is soon to pass or is passed the 90 days.

Still, I think I'll not take any chances and skip entirely. Scorponok will not pay itself and I must make choices (and sell some things).

Very cool! He looks great!

This week's haul: growing my TR collection!
Galvatron is definitely getting a head upgrade.

[Rodimus Prime]

Nice! Yes, Galvatron is a great figure from the neck down.

Honestly, I've soured a bit on the Blitzwing mold, simply because both the vehicle modes suffer from him being a triplechanger. His robot mode is passable, but not by much. I love the Octane mold, though, even though I don't think either Primes pull it off well. Octane does, though.

Great haul, overall.

This week's haul: growing my TR collection!

Funny, I just got around to opening Blitzwing and Octone just a couple weeks ago and I bought them new at release.

Anyway, this week I got my Nemesis Prime spoiler pack and Amazon Clones. I basically already have these since I have the Takara Tomy Nemesis and the clones are basically the same as the TR version. But where the two Nemeses are quite different it's annoying that Hasbro couldn't be bothered to do something different with the Clones, not even do the Japanese colors. Makes me wonder if the Target clones sold so poorly they decided to just phone it in for the Amazon clones. Whatever, I said I was going to complete WfC, never said I had to open everything.

I don't think the Decepticon clones' performance (or lack of) has to do with the Autobot clones, they weren't released far enough apart.

[william-james88]

Yeah, for sure.

Yeah, for sure.

I wasn't being serious, I should have been clearer. It would have been the same effort whether they chose the TR or Legends paint apps.

Considering the recent delays Pulse has had shipping items out, when I got a delivery notice for these 2 on Friday saying they would be here Monday, I said yeah right. Instead they got here today. I had no idea Fedex even delivered on Sundays.

The other thing I noticed is that Pulse must have another or new shipping location as these 2 shipped out of Georgia instead of Pennsylvania like all previous orders have.

[Starseeker]

Today's haul of more TR fun:

[Emerje]

Found those Hershey's Treasure Surprise Transformers at Walmart Monday, they had a ton of them, probably stocking up for Christmas stocking stuffers. I got Grimlock which is the one I wanted most so it was perfect, wont have to buy any more of these since they're a little expensive at $2.

Also my Bugbite came from Hasbro Pulse.

My local Toys R Us have a FULL restock of Siege figures at FULL price.
But the micromasters are 50% off for reasons. No Cassettes, but at least I grabbed the teams Blackjack & Hyperdrive and Direct-Hit & Power-Punch to go with an eventual ER Scorponok.

My friend also found Siege Mirage and Barricade at Walmart. Unfortunately at full price too, but still better than being sclaped on at ebay.

What's up with that Siege surge anyway?

Probably the old stock they've been sitting on for the last year that the over stocking of wave one (Shockwave) have prevented from being set out. I mean in my hunt for Walmart Elita-1, since I have no idea if my pre-order is ever going to get cancelled again or fulfilled, I finally saw a Walmart that wasn't clogged with Siege Shockwaves, SS Megatrons and Jetfires.

[Bucky]

Kev777 - Mine also shipped out of Georgia, instead of from Hasbro in RI, which is a scant 45 minutes away.

[LinaNui]

I've got some good stuff in recently. Finally got a DNA upgrade kit for some SS figures (I know 3P has its own thread). It is incredible.

Found the Netflix wave 2 deluxes at Walmart today and picked up one of each. There was 2 full cases on shelf when I got there. Honestly none of them are great, but it is nice to get the elita-1 and a good G1 bumblebee for once.

[Emerje]

Two packages showed up today. First from Amazon containing SS RotF Soundwave and Cyberverse Deluxe Grimlock. These came in a very stuffed padded envelope, and while the figures are fine and boxes weren't crushed somehow, there was a huge knife cut that put a diagonal slice right through the front of Soundwave's box. No idea how that could have happened, really surprised Soundwave wasn't damaged. They were $13 and some change each, very nice price.

Second box was from Target. They're doing a BOGO 50% off sale on Transformers, but there's really not much in stock to make it worth while. I did grab an exclusive Cyberverse Repugnus set and Cyberverse Ultra Skullcruncher (just occurred to me that Hasbro go the name back, no more Skullsmasher). Hadn't seen Skullcruncher in stores so he was an easy buy. Unlike the previous Target Cyberverse exclusives that flooded the store, I've only seen three of the Repugnus set at once and they're now down to one so if it goes on clearance like the previous sets did I probably wont be the one to buy it so I got one from Target.com. $30 for the pair so I'm not complaining.

Went toy hunting with my friend out of town.
CANADIAN BLACK FRIDAY SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.

Sill, I managed to finally find Siege Rumble and Ratbat.... St FULL 13$CAN price.... Suck to no sale (Black Friday WOOP!) but at least, I didn't had to get scalped on eBay.

[-Kanrabat-]

I cancelled all my preorders at Age 3 and Up because I don't feel like paying double for my TFs.

But while doing some extra shopping, the stars aligned and a nice girl at E.B. Games set me aside their only Black Rorichi they have just received. So with my Platinum Edge card, this guy have cost me less than 32$CAN with taxes instead of the almost 70$CAN it would had cost at Age 3 and Up.

The road to an eventual Select Black Zarak is back on schedule!

[GeekyGamer Gal]

Well, the hunt for Elita-1 is still an effort in futility as I sit in delayed hell, BUT I did get my sixth G1 headmaster today.

Hubby did also buy me Kreon Waspinator as a bonus. Relationship goals, am I right?
