Because Gen voyager Brainstorm will NEVER come to Canada, I had to import mine from Hong Kong. Could be worst, I just had to pay 6$CAn more than retail shipped.

I'll open it later tonight. I have a good feeling.

You should, he's a pretty fun figure. I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on him.

I just tried it out.Brainstorm is a neat little guy. No "wow" factors, but it was a 40$CAN spendt without regrets. He does feel pretty light.

At least, I have the fixed version. Brainstorm give head without trouble. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

His spaceship mode have massive undercarriage, but it's very neat nonetheless. It make me think about my own PYROFLASH. It have the same transformation scheme! I also really like his bot mode and the little guy in the cockpit look neat.

Sure, he's not a RTS Lugnut, but I do recommend him.

Are the hands loose on yours?

I am very glad you like him, did I set your expectations correctly?

Yeah, his hands are floppy, but it don't really matter. It went beyond my hexpectation because mine is not from the "broken neck" batch.

Last in hand haul.

2014, Legion/Legend Acidstorm with Venin........eye searing green. Did give him a second thought. Then I purchased the TT Megs/Starscream G1 color set. Now the OCD in me got me slobbering for a Thundercracker which I got. Just a week ago, Skywarp also showed up in TRU. The only one I'll add. Acid storm was still shelf warming and nearly 25% more expensive than his original SRP.

I just got Acid storm at 50% off.....and the only stock left!

Now if only a Sunstorm gets issued.

Picked up CW Leader Skywarp at Walmart. Paint is solid and crisp. Joints are good. Per the use of the mold he is my second favorite next to Jetfire. Just need to find Starscream to round out my leader seekers. 8-)

Just read this. You mean to say Brainstorm is hard to find in Canada? He's shelf warming here at TRU at $ 23.00 Canadian equivalent. :shock:

Generations Arcee, Chromia and Brainstorm were never distributed in Canada at any retailer.

Same boat with the fembots. They too with the exception of Windblade didn't show up here in SEA. Either that or they sold out so fast that I didn't see them on retail.

Whirl and Brainstorm sells for like 50% off = to $ 23.00+ Canadian

Once again, it's always about poopy distribution. There's a invasion of Roadbusters and Skybites everywhere, but Brainstorm is MIA. Why can't Hasbro distribute the toys correctly EVERYWHERE? What's the point of having too much of item X in location A and too much Y in B when both are going to be clearanced? I bet more toys could be sold at full price if they bother doing their job.

Just picked up CW Brawl, Vortex and Blast Off at Walmart. But no Swindle. WHY? :-(

Until I find Onslaught, they will be limbs of Cyclonus, along with Offroad.

He will NEVER see another mode as long as I own him. Just looking at him in the package in robot mode is making me ill. Those elbows and forearms...ugh.

Opened our gifts early since we're going to be out of town at the in-laws for Christmas. I got Voyager Cyclonus!!!

He is nice! Love his alt mode. Works better than Silverbolt's IMHO.
