DAMN YOU, TrU SALE!
(came in ONE business day after ordering. So fast, Paypal havent even taken the money out of my account yet!)

I was a naysayer. But at 104$CAN+tx instead of 150$, I just had to bite. And man, what a DELICIOUS bite that was! Overal quality is solid, thw new remoldings are pretty amazing, them new proper hands and feet are perfect, and the colors are way better in person. No regrets at all and the combined mode is BAD ASS.

(Damn I suck at pictures...)
I wish I had the budget for Victorion, she interests me a lot more than the CW versions of characters who weren't originally Special Teams members.
My collection has been growing. Here's everything I've acquired since my last post in this thread:

Galactic Man (The Radio Shack import of the Astro Magnum that Hasbro and Takara adapted for Transformers as Shockwave)
G1 Menasor's head and feet
G1 Wildrider
G1 Hot Spot
G1 First Aid
G1 Sixshot (Yes, that's paint. I'm working on painting a lot of his sculpted detail, starting with the treads)
G1 Megatron's silencer connector.
G2 Slag
G2 Silverbolt's missiles
The amazing KOmbination of: Brain Man! Barrack! Shooter! Artillerist! Aaaand Containercar! (AKA the cheesy KO Menasor that's missing Motormaster's chest and the sword, replaces Dead End and Wildrider with Nosecone and Afterburner, and whose Dead End and Drag Strip are molded with perma-collapsed legs).
I mainly bought that KO set because it was the cheapest way of getting fists, a roller car (though that will need some modification), waist armor, and a rifle to finish my G1 Menasor. However, it will have uses beyond that:
Containercar's head and ramp, with slight modification, can be used to complete my other G1 Motormaster. I plan to turn him into a homemade G2 Motormaster. The duplicate combiner kibble will be repainted accordingly.
If I can give the Drag Strip and Breakdown KOs real legs, they can be repainted into G2 colors.
The Technobot KOs can, with a little work, serve as Afterburner and Nosecone for the purposes of my collection.
The rest of Containercar will surve as a materials for a custom combiner team leader.
