Battlecore Optimus Prime have his hips ratchet fixed. Also, once your Megs get pimped out with Repros, he will look just FANTASTIC.

As for Armada Megs, even if I own the orginal, the CW version is shelfwarming hard. Meaning that sooner or later, I will grab one on clearance.

It was on pretty heavy clearance already. You could have gotten him for 30$ two weeks ago.

But two weeks ago, I had no money and I still don't.

However, I asked Santa to give CW Armada Megs to me (or CW Thundercracker for my sealed TC collection).

Even at the local TRU, scissor head Megs is shelfwarming. And G1 style Megs is quite hard to find bt not really "sold out"

Both those guys are running a 104° fever in my area.

I still can't believe I haven't seen a severe clearance on them yet.

Armada Megatron is doing a lot of shelf warming around here too.

Armada Megs shelf warming?

Toys R Us in Brighton, UK has DARK OF THE MOON figures floating around on some pegs.

Picked up CW Brawl and Swindle today.

Skipped the two flyers for the time, but Blast Off is real pleasing to the eyes. His color scheme/deco works very well.

Vortex looks like crazy cross colors AB wearing yellow rubber gloves.

I may have to grab BO the next time I spot em.

They were found at target too. Does this mean you will not be waiting to see what Takara does?

Correct. I am not phased by the Blast-Off situation. I like him as a jet. I'll go domestic on this one. It's nice to have prey for the physical hunt.

Target my friend. They had two cases. Our stores tend to get stock really quickly.

Asking me or Colbert (pronounced co-bear)?

Fun hunt today. Saw this bag at the goodwill place where I had just found my G1 Thrust from a few posts ago. It had the style of a Gobot and after a quick search I found that it was Super Gobot Warpath. Man, these guys had die cast like there was no tomorrow. His transformation is the same as another Bandai owned toy, G1 Whirl.

Got him for 1$

Nice find! You only need to make some helicopter blades.

To be fair, it looks super silly in robot mode:

But yeah, it would make the helicopter real nice!

Also, while i twas a fun find, it wasnt much of a deal, this guy is dirt cheap online (for americans).

He does have a surprisingly nice name for a Gobots.

Because Cop-Tur was already taken. :roll:

No, really.

Also, the blades just peg in so I display mine without.

Gobots had such a bad rep but yes, they had oodles of die-cast like there was no tomorrow back then. Try looking for the SuperCy-kill. I manage to find one from a seller in KSA. The box was water damaged (water damaged in a desert country 8-}

but true) awful but inside......minty minty.

I use him to be G1 Megatron's "beotch" in my fictional gladiatorial fight sessions (waaaaaaaay back when there were no kids yet)

Oh snap. I feel there is some incoming scrambling in the near future.

Nice use of Colbert, Colberto.

I went on the Hunt for the Combaticons today and got nowhere. TrU, Target, Walmart, all still sporting Offroads and Protectobots. I thought about picking up 3 more Offroads to give Cyclonus troops with purple hands and feet.
