Cyberverse Beast Hunters Bulkhead

He feels right at home with "Thunderclash" (Predacons Rising Optimus Prime) and Huffer. All he needs is a fitting name. Any suggestions aside from "Brawn"?

Rollbar??

Wide Load!

I just picked up Skrapnel with Reflector and Swerve with Flanker! I'm loving these little guys, Reflector is perfect, and I wouldn't feel too bad grabbing two more Skrapnels so I can have some Insecti-clones and three Reflectors. Hasbro knew I would do this!

How about a Prime version of Roadbuster?

I just acquired a Sliver Knight Optimus from the Target exclusive 2-pack, and a Sam's Club yellow RiD Optimus Prime.
I love that mold. Does anyone know how many variations of this figure are there?

Got my Botcon 2013 Machine Wars Starscream today. The Terradive mold is just perfect for the character and I wanted him for a long time. However, not at 100$. I was lucky enough to have found one brand new for only 60$ shipped! No regrets at all!

Now, I'm waiting for that other Botcon exclusive to arrive.....

Well, firstly, the usual random find:

Crossover Hulk, Elita-1 and Tie Pilot all for 5$ (along with a bunch of other random toys I either gave away to charity or traded)

I also got a bunch of Power Core Combiners as per Va'al's and JelZe GoldRabbit's recomendation: Bombshock, Undertow and Smolder.

Lastly, I got a crazy story for you all. My fiancé just got a 3DS XL and I was looking for cheap games to play. Quebec has an actual pawn shop chain of stores which can pretty much be seen as stores which sell second hand luxury goods and their used games are priced lower than Gamestop and other venues (although their selection isn't as great). So I was looking at their used games selection when one of the guys working their starts fiddling with a MP 03 Starscream ghost version. I asked him if it was for sale, what it was doing there, if it was complete and how much it would cost. They had this toy in the store for 2 years and had never sold it. It was also complete and practically brand new, with certain accesories that had been never removed from the plastic. The asking price had been 89.99$ for the past 2 years but since they were liquidating their store, they offered it to me for 55$Cdn. I jumped on it and now I have an MP seeker mold in my collection!

Going by memory, so this may not be perfect.

Car Robots:
Super Fire Convoy
God Convoy (Super Fire/God Magnus 2-Pack, translucent, I believe.)
Black Super Fire Convoy (Lucky Draw, I believe.)

Robots In Disguise:
Optimus Prime
Optimus Prime (Sam's Club)
Optimus Prime (Cybertron 2-Pack)

I can only remember those. I don't think there were any more uses of it.

If it's been there for a couple years, it might be because of the superior MP-11 Seeker being out there. Granted, there's no Ghost Version of him out (yet), but that's just me.

In any case, you lucky bastard.

Wow, that's quite a BEAUTIFUL version! Being a millionaire, I would buy this and PLAY with it for sure.

Well, let's hope for you that in the time it will take to save more than 5000$, that toy would not have double it's price by then.

Guess what...
:michaelbay:

IT ARRIVED! :michaelbay:

Botcon 2008 Shattered Glass Starscream!

174$ shipped from Italy. Sure, it's expensive, but man, I am glad to FINALLY owning this! SG Screamers was my ST-Graal for a long time.

Now, what will my next ST-Graal be? .......

Edited years later to kinda restore the missing picture.

This is from my first purchase from the infamous LENA on e-bay. Definitely not my last.

Ooh! I bought the same thing, from the same seller! How long did your ePacket take? Mine hasn't really updated much. A couple of updates, but nothing stellar.

He wont give you much in terms of updates apart from when he ships it. It took 3 weeks for me to get mine but the good thing is that he marked it as a gift so I had no extra import fees.

I'm jelly. I want one too. :-(

I know he is Starscream, but I can't help thinking "Jetfire" whenever I see it. If the head could be swapped out, this would make an awesome Jetfire. Screw the new Leader class figure. Looks like crap compared to this. Hell, it looks like crap next to the original Macross "G1 Jetfire." :lol:

Know what? I think SG Starscream was colored this way in hommage to Jetfire. It's no coincidence I guarantee it.

I just got a loose European G1 motorvator Flame on ebay without the sword for a great price. $30 including the shipping.

MP silverstreak, MP G2 sideswipe, mania king (vintage color), TFCC transmutate, botcon 2013 electrons & sandstorm, and botcon 2014 attendee exclusives (apelinq, alpha trizer, flareup, flamewar, hunter, brimstone, pounce, wingspan, and primal prime)!

the two im most taken with, are transmutate and mania king. glad i passed on the first MK, and sad i passed on prime arcee (not sure if its first edition mold or the other one).

News Credits: 100 · by **-Kanrabat-** » Sat Jul 19, 2014 10:38 pm

Transmutate is a repaint of FE Arcee.
Flamewar is a repaint of Beast Hunters Arcee, which is a remold of Prime RID Arcee.

I want Flamewar. She just look AMAZING!
