The G1 bug seem to have bitten me hard lately.

Here's Encore G1 Rachet and Skids, for only 60$ total shipped!

I'll open them tommorow and tell what I think of both figures.
Still, from the looks of it, G1 Ratchet (and Ironhide) are more Gobots than TF!

Thanks J & K for the Soundwave info. Gives me something to think about.

Does "loot" count as a haul? If so, here is a cool Transformer/Tron mash-up shirt I just got from this month's "Cyber" LootCrate.

Real classy with them wrinkles I know. Don't judge, it just came out of the box.

Picked up CW Legends Groove at my local comic shop today. Pretty sweet! I gave him Prime RID Deluxe class Wheeljack's twin swords to make him look like a tiny ninja.

Well done, well done. Also, Ratchet will dissapoint you.

Oh, I know what I'm getting into and I don't expect show accuracy! :lol:

FYI, I LOVE the cabinhead super gobots so I'll feel right at home.

We've come a long way since classics 2.0, finally managed to snag one I missed 6 years ago.

Universe inferno + TFC ladder parts.

Just leaves smokescreen, ratchet, cliffjumper before I round up all the autobots during that run

Now look who is not only a member but the president of the cool guy club. I got lucky and found my guys in one big lump as well. Isn't that a jazzy feeling? I'm curious as to what you think of them once you put them through their paces.

Yesterday I recieved a package from the wonderful Jestermon containing Legends Megatron, the Destructicon PCC Drones, the Constructicon PCC Drones and PCC Steamhammer! Thank you, Jestermon!

Today, I recieved a prize from eBay in the form of ROTF Rampage! Despite the bad press he gets I love 'im. The poingy-poingy Jackhammer mode is just great.

Combiners Wars Dead End, Breakdown and Offroad showed up a little while ago

Quality doesn't seem quite as good as Dragstrip, but I still like em. Prowl and Sunstreaker are a must buy now, and Smokescreen and Trailbreaker might be as well.

I feel a bit let down by Brake-neck and prefer having Offroad as part of my menasor instead (I dont have G1 nostalgia). Anyone else feel that way?

I was initially let down by DE/BN as well, but learned appreciation for the mold once I got Streetwise. Offroad is totally a permanent member though. I think I'll keep my Hasbro CW combiners with the members initially intended since the classic configurations will be handled quite skillfully by TT's Unite Warriors.

I have mild case of G1 nostalgia and I didn't buy Brake-neck because I prefer having Offroad as part of my Menasor instead.
Is that kinda the same thing?

Yeah but your smarter, you didnt have to buy the redeco to know you didnt need it

I'll be getting Brake-neck at some point if I can so Offroad can be used elsewhere. I'm thinking about getting Brawl and Swindle to repurpose as Bombshock and Growl from the Micromaster Military Patrol and then will just need one more (maybe Vortex as Tracer seeing as I'm not interested in any of the other copter-bots) for Cyclonus or any other Decepticon torso to have a full team.

I prefer Offroad over Break Neck as well. I think its mostly because Offroad is such a strong figure and BN is just a redeco. I do like having the extra members of the teams though for skirmishes at the feet of the combiners. Its nice to have a little extra chaos at my disposal.

That's what I figured. Getting a full-sized desk on an airplane is beyond my skill level.

Hefty haul Him!
Happy?

News Credits: 16 · by **It Is Him** » Thu Jun 25, 2015 1:45 pm

Yeah man, I'd definitely say I'm happy with it. I saved for a long time leading into the trip, which allowed me to take advantage of some great deals on ROTF Jetfire, TFCC CounterPunch and Thunderwing. Scooping up a high quality Wheeljack and an opened reissue Hound is the highlight for me, though.

Those were the two that caught my eye for sure.
