Merry FORKING Crimpus!
Great haul grimdragon. Party at your house.
I've been eying those dark energons too. There so cheap now.

thanks . The Dark Energon figures are are awesome, my Bee has a bit of a cloudy hood but he still looks, great. Gonna put some Con tats on Wheeljack to make him my Classics Slice

Get them while you can

Out of those molds I only have retail Jack, Hotshot, and Megs.
I better get on it lickity split!
Other than the hood, you're happy with the translucents?

[grimdragon2001]

yea, no cracks or anything noted as of yet. colors are pretty good, Knockout really seems to glow in most lights. the only negative i can really not is some of them had a bit more mold flash than normal, so you may want to have an exacto knife handy

[prjkt]

[grimdragon2001]

MP SIDESWIPE, WOOHOO!



Bought is for around CAN40$ shipped from Lena. He came without instructions and I never watched any video reviews so I hope I transformed him right. Way smaller than I expected though. Still, the amazing engeneering make his diminutive size irrelevant. I LOVE this guy! (The head even SPLIT so it can tuck away tighter! I mean wut?)

[Cobotron]

MP SIDESWIPE, WOOHOO!

WOOHOO!
looks right to me. Did you find those panels that flip from behind his shin to fill out the inside of his lower leg?

I found it weird that he had such huge gaps on the inside of his legs. Had to see a video review to find them. Now, DONE! And he's even more awesome.

At last, I got a UFO I've been eying for a while now:
RESCUE BOT OPTIMUS PRIMAL!



No way was I going to pay 45$ + taxes for him. I patiently waited for a sale. After a random visit to Canadian Tire, I found him, all alone, on the clearance Xmass toys. Of course, no prices. Most toys werent cheaper by much so my expectations were not too high. So at the cashier, the toy was... 22$+tx! I was not going to miss out.

My quick review: This Optimus is weird as fawk, is a brick, and there's not much difference between the beast mode and bot mode. However, his lights and sounds are awesome, his gimmicky transformation is fast and clever, he's great looking all over, and he's a lot of fun! Sure, I would have buyer remorse at 50$, but at 50% off? Really worth it.

Got a kid or love weird TFs? If you come accross that toy, especially on sale, grab it!

Interesting how they called him Optimus Primal

Interesting how they called him Optimus Primal

They already got the corpyright and the name is fitting. So, why not? Dare I say, why not.

[shajaki]

i think ive seen him around. i think he's neat, and would buy him as a novelty, but he's just too big.

This Windcharger has always been, "the one that got away". He was always a little to rich for my blood, to find after market, but with a Xmas Amazon gift card I figured, go for it! He has actually gone down in price a bit. The cheapest I could find the domestic single packed was $38 w/ shipping, but these two w/ ship, $44. Blamo! You can run, but you can't hide. And your lil evil twin too.
