Car boot haul. Cost me £11.

DotM Ark: Seems almost complete, just missing a missile and Roller. I already have an Ark but it's missing much more than this one so I'll sell my old one for parts and keep this one. The ramp mechanism amuses me. I think it's meant to tip the car to roll down the ramp, but when I press the lever it just flips the car forwards like a big somersaulty thing... which is awesome

Supreme Animated Optimus Prime: Not my thing at all but it was only £1 and thought I could maybe sell for a lil profit, I dunno.
Animated Ratchet: Already have one of these for sale but this one was only 50p so thought why not?
Cybertron Optimus Prime: No trailer or weapons but the robot seems complete and he even has the Matrix inside.
G1 Hardhead: Just the body, no guns or Duros. I think I bought it cos I'm still waiting to find the Titans version (in a shop I mean, I'd have to be super lucky to find a Titans figure at a car boot this early on).

Legends Cybertron Hot Shot: Missing lower arm but I bought mainly to put him in the Ark.
Robot Replicas movie Frenzy: I got the FAB version last time and now the RR. I have a fondness for this character as weird as he is.

2007 Barricade x2: Found them in the same box so bought both in case one needed parts from the other. I got home and it turns out they are both almost complete except for missing THE SAME BLOODY PART. Oh well, in the spares box they go.

Having to fight for them a bit. Power Rangers ain't my thing but I usually search through them cos adults who had bought these things for their kids often can't tell the difference when it comes to robotic toys that turn into things. Anyways today there was a big box of them and I thought eh, might be a Transformer in there somewhere. Turns out there was. I found RotF Leader Jetfire right at the bottom, which some guy just grabbed straight out of there while I still had some power ranger toys in my hands I had unburied Jetfire from. Basically I had done all the digging and this git stole the treasure. If I hadn't already got a RotF Leader Jetfire a couple weeks ago in a big lot I would have punched that sonuvabitch...

That was quite a dick move that one did.

Anyway, come visit my lab by clicking the link in my sig. It may inspire you for dealing with all the scraps you find. :twisted:

Obviously. Some incredible things could be done with a couple of scrap DOTM Arks! :michaelbay:

Today's special: A Micron souffle served on a delicious bed of fresh custom fodder.

I swung by a TJ Max to hunt for the lost wave of RID toys and found Jetstorm. They also had the blue Con with the ice theme, but I passed.

Why do you need 2 prowls and a smokescreen. Don't you already have the trio.

I know I'm intrigued as well. Could it have to do with a certain Datsun Maximus?

They're not all for me. I will be making a Toonstreak for a friend, a Silverstreak for myself, and either a blue or silver for my brother.
In my little world, Bluestreak and Silverstreak are two different guys. There are 4 Datsun Bros.

Also, maybe the combined name is, Nissan Maximas ?! :lol:

Can't wait to see some more customs Cobs!

My recent haul is MP Wheeljack which I got in the mail on Saturday night. He is super awesome! I don't like his quite as much as MP Bumblebee or MP Optimus (the only other MP's that I have), but he is spot on to his G1 self. I'll have to post some pics in my thread soon

It is pretty cool having two (incomplete) Arks.

Your labs stuff is pretty awesome.

I was up all night and was just about to go to bed when the package arrived.

I was going to leave them all until tomorrow but I broke down and opened one... and then another and another and another...dammit :-P

I managed to stop myself after opening Skullsmasher, Hardhead, Nightbeat, Clobber (Who has already stolen Hardhead's body), Stripes and Fort Max. I'll save the rest for tomorrow.

So even though I'm not part of the "cool kids" and my posts are often over looked or ignored ... I'm still gonna say, found myself a TR Galvatron.

Nice to see they're finally making they're way around the country (more so after we received Fortress Maximus before the rest of the world)

Have no deluxes arrived your way yet?

(I haven't had the chance to take a look in Italian shops at all for anything, might just wait until TFNation at this point..)

Also, what do you make of the face mask thing, yay or nay?

Nope.

I've missed the big kerfuffle over it all so have no opinion.

Ok, rephrase: do you like the mask thing?

The only TR stuff that got to Canada are Fort Max, the Titan Masters and the leaders. So I have been looking at everyone and their dear deluxes and legends toys for a month. What blows is that I ordered them all from TRU.ca and its written that they will be shipping on august 1st. But that was yesterday and I got no e-mails and no notices of anything. fun.

Just wanted to let you know you werent alone in all this.

So for all your 'buy online' church preaching, your online buying has not delivered. Or been delivered.

Where is your god now, willyjean? :michaelbay:

I really should go take a look at Italian shops at some point.. :-?
