This is a little silly but I thought they were neat. I spotted some candy tins at TRU in the style of some of our favorite insignias. Priced a little steep at $3.99, but they have very cool heavy embossing.

Your choice of Autobot Strawberry Sour or Decepticon Berry Sour :-P

I'll let you know who wins the war.

Hey -Kanrabat- you are so right on LG Ultra Magnus and them some. This figure is amazing and IMO a true representation of the G1

. The Dr Wu hammer (not FOSP) fits perfect and looks awesome. I wish I could post pics of this. #-o

Yes the majority of Bayformers are absolute garbage but one acception to the rule is DOTM Takara Chronicle Megatron. It came in today and compared to the lousy Hasbro version this figure is awesome in paint apps alone. Then with AOE Prime's weapon in his grip...badass! :VEHI:

I got him loose in great condition. For a long while I've been looking for him loose and came close a couple of times and I finally got him. I paid $75 with free shipping which I think I paid a bit too much but I think it was worth it. :VEHI:

I don't know if it counts as a toy, but I think its pretty groovy and worth a share.

Got it at a little sesonal gaming/toy store at the mall. They also had Megatron, Soundwave, and Bumblebee. All G1 as is only proper.

Those metal earth are good old fashioned tedious fun.

I'm considering picking up a TF flavored one. If you don't mind a completed pic would be highly appreciated.

I've completed R2D2; took two evenings. I've got a couple spaceships I haven't been able to devote any time to yet.

Ya, those metal models look cool and fun. I'm gonna keep my eyes peeled for those. What's the price point, if you don't mind?
I recall some news about Bee and Soundwave, but not OP and Megs. That info might be news worthy.

Prime was 16.99. Not to shabby.

$11.99 from BBTS - old news actually. But BBTS is where I picked up my mass effect one. I got my two star wars one's on clearance at bed bath and beyond.

They look really sharp when complete. I'd recommend two different needle nose pliers; a small thin one and a larger one for the tougher bends and twists. I also used the rounded backs to make nice smooth curves.

Got my Nightbird and a pair of kfc Tempest swords yesterday.

Now she's standing on the free space of my laptop next to her sister arcee; skydive is dual-reverse-wielding the tempest swords :michaelbay:

Nightbird is quite beautiful, almost as exquisite as Salvia Prominon... almost :BLUSH:

BIRTHDAY HAUL!!!!

Best part of this haul? My 4 year old picked them out. Of all the toys I have, and all of this years TFs, I can't believe she picked two I don't have. "Dad, I think you don't have a white Opimis Pwime", and "Because he has my favorite blue on him" sounded like good reasons to me.
Thanks kid!

This lil' Megatronus is fun.
