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

What are you doing here on the board when you can be playing with UW Devastator?!

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.

Defenor?!?! Pffft... that old thing? Both you guys are living in the past, man. All the really kool kids have pledged their allegiance to the one true savior: Nemesis Bravo!

[Burn]

ugh ... News Crew Minions. That's all I have to say.

[-Kanrabat-]

For everybody:

SOON...

[Burn]

Everybody? ah, no. You're already late. Try again next year!
Unless you're some form of Southern Hemisphere hater. In which case, that's not very nice and I hope you get nothing but poor quality coal that crumbles just by looking at it and you can't use it to warm you during your cold Quebecan winters. hehehe

SOON?

Got my first and maybe only TF gift. MP Bluestreak!
...
Another one. They may have forgotten that I already had it and they have maybe paid the full price for it. Also, it was the last box so the outside box was smashed. So I made a box-sap whith my other one. Result: a open Bluestreak that was played with and I have another one that is 90% sealed. Only one tape is broken. Dunno i9f it will affect the value down the line.

Anyway, I have a almost sealed MP Bluestreak for trade if anyone is interested.

Here is my tiny christmas TF haul. But it makes sense, I had already gotten most of what I was looking for anyways.

By the way, a lot of thought and love was given into designing the clear plastic pieces for the minicons so that they could perfectly fit into an extra figure. Too bad Hasbro's marketing couldnt care less about it. Its a real shame too because this is some of the niftiest extra Hasbro has done in years.



I also got this (Totally worth it!)




Merry Christmas everyone! Hopefully I get more stuff to report on Boxing Day!

[Teknomage]

Not a major haul but got Generations Roadbuster and all of the Kabaya Seacons from the wife for Christmas.

@ Will: I saw that RC SW droid when I was out shopping for the Mrs. It kinda blew my tiny mind.

It just use some serious magnet technology. Hollar back when you've put some play time into that thing. I'm very curious as to how well it works.

Oh yeah, it uses a very powerful magnet. It is so cool to watch it go. The speed is fine, the size is fun. Its great to see his little head spin. It is exactly as advertised. Here is my amazon review of it: http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-revie ... B014X18A0S

As you can see from the prices it goes for on amazon, buy it at Target while you can!

Canada no longer has Target, so its simply not exclusive to any store here and thus very easy to acquire

Got some Christmas toys!

I got the Platinum reissue Triple Changers, and my wife got me Cloud Starscream, Hellwarp, and from whatever the Japanese line is that redid the fembots, the Slipstream redeco from Windblade.

Also, on the topic of BB-8, my wife and I got the other RC one, the one with the smartphone app. It is pretty awesome, and it's cute as all get out.

[RarityofConvoy]

Got me a lucky draw Aoe Gold Optimus prime!

[Fox Thiagarajan]

Not part of a Christmas: UW Defensor/Guardian, CW Combaticon limbs, CW legends wave 1 of '16. Love Groove. Haven't had time to get into the others yet.

One of my best deals ever.

Takara Car Robots JRX Mint in Box found locally on boxing day for a total of 75$ which is 54.33$ US





Playing ticket to ride, a train board game recieved on christmas was a fun thematic bonus.





Cobotron, you would just flip for these. Unlike the Hasbro version, this Takara version is 65% clear plastic painted over so that the windows stay clear. Just like X-Brawn. The paint apps on this guy are the most I have ever seen for any toy while also being varied and detailed (which differentiates that from our amazement at the amount of paint on CW Megatron for instance).

K... this haul kinda blows my mind. Like, Micheal Bay blown.

Are they legit? Not to imply they aren't, but I know those molds have been KO'd in gold.

Hello

The Henkei has been KO but easy to till the real from the fake. Envasion mode gold prime has not been ko yet but it's easy to till from a fake if you know where to look. Also glad Takara went back to adding gold plastic. The ones in my pic are real:)

A better shot up close

Congrats William! I know that this one has been high on your list for some time. Just goes to show that having a little patience does pay off. I would like to get the Japanese JRX set at some point so that I can do comparison pics with the Hasbro version.

Thanks so much! And yes, this was my number one WANT for the longest time. I hope you find one for yourself as well, it is very different from Hasbro in how it is mostly made of painted clear plastic only so that the small windows can be clear. It's pretty insane all the paint that entails. Also, there are no comparison pictures online which is quite a void for such a known (?) difference between Hasbro and Takara.

Here is the best I could find (just made it).

[Cobotron]

Will, I know I would love that set. I still kick myself for not getting it all those years ago when I had a sweet Car Robots hook up in Chicago. I still can't get over that price you paid!
