Temporary haul for me today, so no photo. My ER Thrust that I pre-ordered the second it went live finally arrived today. I pre-ordered with Runamok and a spend $50 get $10 off sale so I didn't want to give up the sale price and kept approving the delays. Last week I found him in store and paid full price as it was before mine shipped and I didn't want to trust Target not to cancel on me.

So the one I got today got to spend about 15 minutes in my house before it was off to Target with the full price receipt for a return.

Scored some Kingdom deluxes and a Scout Trooper this week, and none of the 4 have disappointed!

Nothing special, the last of three ER Grapples from after Christmas was still sitting on the shelf unwanted. Still tagged on the shelf for $17, but scanned at $10 so he's mine now. If Hasbro never makes a Hauler figure out of him maybe I'll do it myself.

Seriously, Hasbro, Roadhauler and Sunstorm, how hard is it to do two simple repaints before so many unusual ones?

Fresh off the postal truck! I ordered these guys in mid-late November I think. Worth the wait! I wanted a Prime with his trailer, I loved Blitzwings' design, and Trailbreaker has been a favorite of mine since I was a kid! So happy to have these!

My local Target came through for me yet again. I found the rest of the wave 1 deluxes I needed and BW Megs. Cyclonus is the only one left from wave 1 that I'm waiting on.

I recently picked up Kingdom Blackarachnia and Warpath, while passing on Cheetor knowing a darker blue variant is on the way with Netflix. I also changed my mind on Core Class Rattrap and bought him, even though I think he's too small. But the ears on the deluxe T30 figure just ruin that figure for me. Plus he goes for $40 on eBay these days.

In what seems to be becoming a monthly tradition, it's time once again for Burn Just Acquired Some Old ****!

So take a break kids, this one's for the old farts.

Strap on your samurai hats and yell it with me.

BANZAIIIIIIIII-TRON!

And he can actually stand on his own two legs!

[-Kanrabat-]

Banzaitron is pretty damn nice!
I wish for a transforming Generations figure that will be his own unique mold though.

[EvasionModeBumblebee]

Just got Skipjack!

[Starseeker]

This week's fun. Also have a coronation upgrade coming soon for emperor Screamer.

[TF-fan kev777]

At only $10, I couldn't resist the temptation after seeing on the pegs at Target for the past couple weeks. We'll see if he is fun enough to displace the T30 version.

On my end, I feel like a divorcee who have been screwed by the System. This guy is NOT worth CAN60$+.

I see what I did there...

Me, when the SS86 deluxes were first announced:
Cool, I'm only interested in Jazz. I like the PotP mold but don't trust the longevity of the clear plastic. I like the TR versions of Blurr and Kup good enough.

Me seeing them in Walmart today:

Yeah, same here. I was gonna get Jazz only. But today I found and picked up all 3 of them. The TR versions will be going to eBay. I'm keeping my PoTP Jazz, though, I like it in every way.

TR Kup is the one I'm stuck on and may find a way to hide out in my collection somewhere. I really like it as a toy, its really fun to transform with all that leg panel magic. I'll have to see if any of the TR extra heads look good enough on Kup to keep around.

Think outside the box -or of other boxes... I used one of the POTP Prime Masters to use on his head and it kinda looks like a training drone.

Ooooh, I likey, definitely going to have to see which one looks best.

I got my first taste of Kingdom yesterday. They both are great figures and I really love warpath, but I do wish he was taller.

Next, I got an absolutely insane TF animated haul! I got all 27 figures for only $110! And they are all complete (except for prowl's street light and the tools for ratchet) and in excellent condition. It is so nice to have all these figures finally. Now I just need a leader Bulkhead and Safeguard and I will be good with my TF Animated collection (unless I am missing someone else)!

Very awesome! I am envious of Swindle and Waspinator, those are 2 of the few US retail figures I haven't gotten yet

Got this guy new for a fair price on eBay, arrived today.

Wow that's a great score! I have Prowl and his streetlight, and if you want it to complete yours, PM me. I just keep it in a box for accessories I don't use.

Finally got myself a toy in these trying personal times:

Earthrise Decepticon Airwave

Got him at Walmart during the weekly groceries with my father-in-law, and this is one of the few times I like their app. Saw him hanging, saw the tag at regular price, did a price check with the app: $10. Checked out at $10 at the register too, so it's a "stealth" clearance I suppose the best game ever is trafficrider. Next time I may get Snapdragon, he was like $17, but I don't have Siege Apeface...

I got the original G1 Airwave set from my grandmother when I was a kid, so that character is dear to me...

Several Walmarts across the US have been doing stealth clearances on earthrise toys. It started about 3 weeks ago and seems to be spreading.

Thanks to Will, I can finally have the Prime 10th anniversary set with Breakdown and Jet Vehicon!

I'll crack open these bad boys later. I'll even apply the stickers.
