Great score, Will! Sea spray is great, and Turbo was always one of my favorite Go-Bots.

Here is what you can get for $2.99 Cdn ($2.33 USD):

Thats Gravity Bot Starscream, Gobot Heat Seeker, Gobot Turbo and G1 Seaspray!!!!!

I will go back to the thrift shop another day and give them back what I didnt need in this bag.

I read this post and assumed you meant movie Starscream.
I had some kind of movie starscream and some other stuff I didn't care for that I bought in a mixed lot a few months back. Bought them for Energon Galvatron/Megs and Unicron from a local collector dude. Kept a couple of things and gave the stuff I didn't want to an op shop.

It's a shame they put awesome voice samples for Optimus into such a dorky toy. Fine for kids, but I didn't want it. There is also a very tiny ugly movie hound in the back right there somewhere.
I only kept the energon toys and got rid of the others.

I mean to be fair, I'm a high schooler (don't worry, I can drive and am nearly an adult, guys) so my body has not been wrecked by the college/early 20's snacks only diet :lol:

. Sorry for such a late post, I would have responded to this waaayyyyy earlier but I was wrapping up with finals and the like.

Edit: Don't worry Kanra, I was a non-transformed Satsuki Kiryuin, I just realized that's probably part of the reason you were freaking out

As a college/early 20's guy, this is true and unfortunate. Hence why the gym is a huge help!

So in terms of toy hauls though, I do have some things coming up. I got a sticker sheet today in the mail that will soon be put to good use and another figure in the mail due to come monday to use that sheet on. Plus, I'm picking up some extra stuff from Walmart to do some customizing to those same figures. It should be done next week and I'm quite excited to show it off :MAXIMAL:

I had to put mental bleach on my virtual eyes after having pictured a R63 transformed Satsuki! :lol:

As for my mini haul, I ordered a K.O oversized AOE Lockdown back in mid March. 2 months and a half later, I still haven received anything. After a Paypal claim and a full refund from the seller, I received it the very next day.

So, I got it for free.

Just to see what I got:

Ha, nice Kan! I watched that review, and we really needed a larger Lockdown. Kudos for getting it, sad to hear about all the issues with shipping though. :MAXIMAL:

Good job on getting it for free! I just got MP-16 for free after e-bay rewarded me for the unpainted eye on my buzzsaw and the seller not responsing.

Maybe it was a K.O set? Regardless, that's also great. An easy fix for sure.

No, just overproduction/reject (and now I know why haha) or simplythe factory keeping to produce them with the moldsthey still have. You can see in the pic I posted a bit earlier. You can tell the KOs because packaging doesnt have ridges in the cardboard and this one does

Usually oversized stuff looks weird to me but that Lockdown looks good. I wonder if it's because the movie toys have all that extra detail in the molding?

The downtime between lines has me antsy so I bought some stuff I normally wouldn't have (the Dark Energon guys). Here's my haul that arrived today! (Along with Swoop who came last week)

Never had any Prime guys so the Dark Energon figures were all new molds to me. Pretty complex transformations. A little frustrating here and there but very fun overall. Wheeljack was the most satisfying to transform out of the four, really great engineering there. Starscream was good too. Bee was meh and Knockout wasn't bad but I'm having trouble getting things to stick. The most disappointing aspect of the set was Screamer's soft rubber parts. His head crest was even warped out of the box.

But 30 bucks for 4 fine bots is a steal, I definitely recommend them if you haven't touched the molds yet.

I've handled a few, but largely ignored the line (which gives me the regrets now). I really liked FE Screamer and Bee though. Consider the discounted 4-pack on my hit list ;)^

Nice going Mr Skram. Glad you like Wheeljack, I too think he is one of the best. I even wrote an article on him and the other greats of the line: http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/ ... oys/33831/

And how are you finding that Swoop?

He's rad! I like his gangly-ness(which is also what I love about Starscream) and his arms can pull off cool poses even though they have a slightly untraditional joint setup. I just gotta tighten his legs a bit and he'll be amazing! The scan sticker came off with ease and there was no indent to cover up so that was a huge plus.

Just read that list. It's a shame I missed out on that line until now. Gonna have to keep my eye out for a vehicon on ebay.
