Why, a 100% complete G1 Jetfire in box, of course!

Every single parts is there. Labels are perfects,nothing broken save a tiny weeny tab on a arm armor part, nothing rusted, just a yellow leg... yellowing covered by a leg armor anyway. The box is pretty beaten up, but the foams are there and unbroken and pretty clean. Even the manual and the goddamn red filter is there!

Also, 1984 G1 Jetfire have very impressive engeneering far ahead of it's time! Damn, it was the Holy Grail I never knew I wanted!

Just look at it next to his descendant. So GLORIOUS!

I do not have enough hands to properly high five you enough for this catch.

Nice grab C!

That was me. I found Cliffjumper and he wasn't in the system, and the cashier rung him up for $3. I found UM and Skywarp at a different store, same thing, but I didn't wanna press my luck, so I let the cashier work it out for real.

Anyways, I can't wait to try and shove him in CW Magnus when I get home

Can't wait to see what you come up with.

For some reason, I was the only bidder. Plus the seller overcharged me 20$ for the shipping. Ammount that was refunded to me. The luck was incredible for that catch!

Now, to pay back the credit card....

FE Arcee is amazing and that mold for Starscream is just perfect. Especially in that deco. Nice catch!

Look on the bright side, you can now get first dibs on the amazing redeco he is getting. I already preordered Jazz and cant cancel my preorder so I wont be getting the two pack.

AB wanted to pose for scale. Ravage wanted a meal.

Got my deluxe CW Protectobots today.

That's one thing I love about Hasbrotoyshop, their preorders tend to ship a good bit ahead of schedule.

Picked up the AOE Vehicon figure at TJ Maxx tonight. Love those paint apps. Also received my Rook from HTS today as well! Rook is plain fun. Going to see what other weapons go well with his peg hands.

Here we go.

Grapple from a local collector,
Jet Vehicon from Chuck
Nacelle from the TFSS
Rest was my BBTS PoL

Well I got these two fantastic 'bots from HTS the other day, but I just got to crack them open. Hot Spot lives up to the hype for sure, and Warpath is great as well.

Now, I'm fully aware that he's been getting a lot of hate around the fanbase, especially because of this "he can't combine with anybody," nonsense, so I made it a mission to prove the nonbelievers wrong.

Warpath Shield Arm

And Warpath Chest Shield. Shame about the faction symbol ending upside down, but I don't think it could be helped. It looks great though.

So, I was finally able to find a few pieces that I've been missing from CW.

Just need Ultra Magnus and Legends Sky Warp and I think I'm caught up to CW until the next combiner comes out!

Mkall's home-from-work Haul!

BotCon Souvenir sets!
--Optimus prime and Sgt Hound are pretty awesome, I think they're my favourite of this year.
--the Diaclone two pack are fun, but not too exciting IMO
--The Horde Troop builders are nice. I've set them up behind Waspinator to make the BuzzCorps
--Zaptrap is a decent figure

Custom Diaclone Red Classics Mirage
Some very nice Beast Wars artwork that apparently was made for some TF Gallery Event in Japan.

Technically a small haul but a very significant one for me since this is only the second time that I have ever gotten a chance to take a mint G1 toy out of its box (reissue, but still): Takara micromaster six train!

For some reason, the takara version was way cheaper to get than the hasbro version (issued in the Universe line) which are identical. They each come individually boxed and they both have painted details instead of stickers, unlike the initial release, so I have no clue why the Hasbro versions are double the price. And I preffer the Takara box so it's a win all around. They were 5$ US each and 5$ to ship each, so 60$ all around and I wont regret it. These little trains are great!

1992 4Ever!!!!!

One hing I find too bad is that the sixth member while my favourite is not needed for the combine mode. He plugs in the back but isnt needed for any structural reasons as you can see. And anyone know why they all have a little hook in the back? I thought it would be to attach them to oneanother ala Raiden, but they only have hooks in the back, and the instructions dont say anything about them.

Very nice! We need more train Transformers (and a full sized, CW, train combiner!).
