Got divebomb and slipstream. Cute little guys. I like the sculpting, especially on some of that clear armour. But its too bad they have no articulation. I like how divebomb can keep all his accessories when he's a torpedo and I like that chest and head armour, they didnt need to make it able to flip out and I welcome the added playability.

Nice Will. the fact that Divebomb can retain all the armor IS a cool little touch.
Now go put those swords and blasters in some Legion figures hands.

Couple days ago I got Rear-end(Tailgate), Vulcan(Grimlock) and a $7 Waspinator from BBTS. Tailgate and Grimlock became instant friends.

Finally I picked up CW Swindle. Spotted him in a Walmart 90 minutes from my house. Now I just need Onslaught...

Fixed the mistake I made a week ago and finished out my Combatichump limbs.

Picked up Nemesis Bravo and the Chocolate Slinger this morning.

Might be getting the last member today, big maybe on that.

Edit: got word my new supplier is sold out

Yes, but now it's had. One of the local collectors works with a lady who has a shop at a local flea market. She had Onslaught and Scattershot in stock.

I got the word that OS was sold out this morning. She is getting the limbs today. Sounds like she is ordering direct from Hasbro. She sells at MSRP even.

Beautiful shot!

@Cary -

Sad story.

Cobotron: CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!! You will have LOADS of fun. But first you need to roll those g1 seekers and perceptor.

Itscramtastic: I have learnt to always wait to see what Takara does just in order to not have any regret. It actually is a no lose situation because if I preffer it, I get it and dont regret buying Hasbro. And if I dont care for the Takara version, then I have probably waitied long enough for the Hasbro version to be available at discount somewhere

So yeah I always wait, and so far have had few regrets. It gets messy when Takara releases a better version of a toy that is already exclusive to them, like that Big Optimus. There was no way of me knowing they would do that aaargh. I just want to maximise on my choice.

Anyways, this mentality is why I am waiting on the combaticon reveal from takara.

I'm gonna go home and hug my Devastator and let him know he's still the one for me

WJ: I can't ever wait, when I do it's usually for Hasbro to do something Takara has done (in the case of Masterpiece) and that doesn't work out. So now I don't wait

I won't complain anymore :-D

Well I was implying Bruticus, but yeah you nailed it on the head. We have an evening of Christmas movies on the couch planned.

It's a Christmas miracle that you found that guy already ...
and that your wife likes being romantic with you. :-P

Get ready 'cause this is gonna hurt. I have to finish making my wife's present tonight. We are leaving town tomorrow for the holidays. Devy might have to wait til next Monday. It's taking all my self control to deal right now. Trust me.

But after being lost in shipping limbo for 6 days, I'm just glad the big green dumbie is in my possession.

Because it's Devastator, all the cool kids got him 6 months ago so he's kinda old news now.

Unlike UW03 Defensor who arrived today. So yeah. I know what I'm doing Christmas morning.

Just received Defensor yesterday c/o RK. :KREMZEEK:

Amazing! Stable mother......just like the original. Complaints? Trying hard to find one (maybe that connector on his right shoulder which conflicts with the head/joint clamp...), other than that...... :DANCE:

Christmas coming 4 times in a year is just tempered to three with only UW-01,UW-02 and UW-03.....Bad news...I'm probably receiving the green giant post new year :BOOM:
