:D
Waiting the long wait us folk have over here in the U.K. for the latest figure to reach our shores, I sat patiently hoping for one of the final Transformers Prime screened characters to appear on a toy store shelf/website.

The Transformers Prime cartoon ended. No figure?

Later Waves are released. No figure?

Then the ever unreliable Ebay.co.uk came to my rescue!

Thanks to a friendly U.K. based Ebay seller, I am finally the proud owner of Transformers Prime GO! Voyager 'Hunter' Shockwave!
At £25 which included delivery, I am super-pleased the seller accepted my offer. Shocky looks awesome!

Good job on getting him And this further supports my theory that Shockwave was not carried over into later waves i.e. he shipped in Wave 2 only which we all skipped.

[Va'al]

Yeah, I resorted to online purchase, too. Shame.

Better than nothing though. At any rate, my local toy store may get new Voyagers in as they're clearing shelf space (or putting them in front more prominently). Shame they only have Megatron and Predaking which I already have.

So for today's purchase I finally bit the bullet:



Prime Airachnid

With her, my Deluxe range is complete. Well, except for Shadow Strike Bumblebee, but I'm skipping him.

I hope you got her on sale, or at least at a cheap price. She's not worth paying through the nose for.

50% off of €20, so I paid only €10. They don't go any lower than that. On the flip side, some stores are trying to clear out Movie stock again of all 3 lines, at full price. Yeah right

[Autobot032]

I bought two Airachnids to make one whole one. I haven't regretted it once. I actually like her figure.

Good. I payed 50% for her figure also. Wasn't waiting around for her, though. It was a happy coincidence.

Her figure isn't terrible, since there are far worse molds. However, my opinion is that she's the worst figure to come out in 2012 and recent years in general.

Good job on getting him And this further supports my theory that Shockwave was not carried over into later waves i.e. he shipped in Wave 2 only which we all skipped.

I have to disagree with you there, Jelze. He was available in the revised Wave 4 cases along with Sharkticon Megatron, Magnus & Grimwing -i put him on the shelves myself.

Not here as far as I know. Stock doesn't sell as fast here, so no need to order revisions.

I picked up beast hunters cyberverse commander shockwave and huffer at argos yesterday completing the set since i got beast blade optimus last week

I joined the Target exclusive Beast Fire Predaking on clearance club last night, picking him up for $13.98. Always sort of eyed him, but $55 or whatever the original price was was far, far too high for what he is. $14 though, that's just right.

[Windsweeper]

Picked up a set of oversized KO Seacons, the 5 smaller ones. Colours are a bit garish but then so were the originals.
Still at least they have silver faces.

Looking forward to see how they look with Snaptrap.

Got the new Constructbot Hound. At 13$, it was perfectly reasonable and he kinda looked cool.

NO REGRETS.

Man, that thing is beautiful with a nice little design toutch by having his arms-kibbles lock on a gun in vehicle mode to fill up that gap. I just added two tiny parts and one gun from the Optimus VS Megs 2 pack to make it perfect.



One more peice on the forearms, Hounds guns are no longer guns but they fill the gaps, and the OPvsMEG gray gun serve as a proper exaust pipe.





Partforming is minimal, requiring removing the guns and the emblem.



And here's the glorious robot mode, the gray gun serving as his G1 hologram progector.





I really recommend it. It's the best Construcbots since Starscream.

[OptiMagnus]

Well, I just bought ROTF Leader Optimus Prime on Ebay for $25.00 USD (and free shipping) from someone with pretty good feedback.

TF GO! Optimus ExPrime

[Jelze Bunnycat]

Took a trip up north for my wedding anniversary (7 whole years!), but don't really have anything to show for it in the Transformers department. In fact, what they had up there I could get anywhere else, except for these:



Kre-O A2234 Dragon Assault with Trailbreaker and Grimwing
Kre-O A2235 Mech Venom Strike with Windcharger and Corhada

Dirt cheap, only €2 a piece at ToysXL. They even had tons of Rotor Rage sets for €12, but that was a bit too big to carry home. Maybe later

[FortMacs]

G1 Monstructor
G1 Horri-Bull
G1 Apeface
G1 Overlord, been wanting him for a few years, and this one is nearly flawless.

[Jelze Bunnycat]

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you the Lookout from Hell-ex:



Kre-O Transformers Rotor Rage-ex

With Helicopter / Mega-Vortex, ATV, Driver and Commando-ex

Got him yesterday, remedying the mistake of not buying him on the trip-ex. ToysXL, €12 and they have tons of the set-ex. What can I say, I love helicopters and Kre-O, and the winch is just icing on the cake-ex.

Two grails in one post. That is some haul, Macs.

Got yesterday the ULTIMATE TF POP-UP BOOK as a late Xmass gift from my sis. Man, the engeneering of this thing is amazing!

thanks, neither my wallet or wife were thrilled with the purchases, but with no gps on monstructor and no wear or discoloration on overlord or mega and giga couldn't pass them up.

Generations Deluxe wave 3 showed up yesterday.
So Armada Starscream, Scoop, Skywarp and the minicon team are chilling comfortably on my desk.
Until such a time they are moved to The Vault. Also, I got some D-arts but that neither here nor there
