I was happy to find Hot Rod and Triggerhappy today while last minute gift shopping. I won't include a pic this time because my phone has gone to crap apparently Super stoked on these two. It's my first Hot Rod/Rodimus ever too.

And you're right Kan, Astrotrain is awesome. I didn't think I was going to like it all that much because I already have Sentinel and thought he was just okay, but the mold in it's intended colors(and headsculpt) is absolutely fantastic.

Mailman delivered today.




Got this guy off of eBay on the 15th for 116 shipped. From Japan to my door in 1 week. Not too shabby.

Now to see how he compares to Ocular Max Backdraft. I'll be honest, the plastic tires are a massive knock against him.

So I read up on what I missed from SG prime. Karanbat Hasbro mp-10 does have diecast.
And I missed Tue begs discussion. I hate losing notifications to threads.

Anyways I've gotten generations scourge and a bunch of marvel legends

[Carnivius_Prime]

The charity shop I help out in now and then gave me Flip and Change Drift for free as a lil christmas present of sorts. A little too simplistic for my tastes but I do like AoE Drift so this is neat. Fun figure. Better articulation than expected in the arms.




Hm this Drift figure makes me wish I had bought the Deluxe when I saw it for £6 in Toys R Us a while ago. Now I'm actually looking to buy it the damn thing seems to cost much more. Between £14 and £30 on all the sites I've been looking at.

It's a haul a long time in the making
I don't buy from BBTS unless I have to, and when I do I make a big pile so it makes the horrendous shipping worthwhile

...As well the crowbar strike to the nuts that are the custom fees.

Since consumerism rules America, I had to work today. Well in one of the stores I found these guys. Had to get them, so I broke my long standing rule about shopping on today.

Hello everyone, new to the forum here. Digging this thread, I love looking at all your hauls. I collect mostly g1s and CHUGS. Half of my collection stays sealed.I know, I know...."Get him!!!!" Lol, but I do like getting to open the other half to actually get to enjoy and display them.

Shajaki...your insane and I'm very envious.

Here is my haul from a few weeks ago.

Skywarp...ross $20 mint..eh why not

Generations dirge/thruster..ebay $40

I'm having a hard time opening these, but it needs to happen. My other chug seekers are beckoning.

RTS megatron....ebay $30.

More than what I wanted to spend but the
reviews on youtube sold me. This guy stays in package, although it pains me. As a matter of fact all my megatrons stay sealed. He's a good investment.

G1 Grapple w/fists, weapon, and spur of 2 missles with one loose.....ebay $13

I'm digging this guy. He took some cleaning up but I think he looks great, altho a little loose. Haha, the only negative thing was he has the wrong missles. I have no idea where the one's they sent came from. But eh, $13 I can't really cry too much. Besides it's my fault for not double checking.

[Mr Skram]

Nice Chill! Welcome to the boards. I love my Thrust, wish I had gotten more of that style seeker while they were in stores. I don't have leader Skywarp but I have TC and I really like him as well even though he doesn't fit in with any of my shelves' themes. So instead he gets to hang out solo on top of everything.

[bodrock]

Welcome Chillyn!

I think the only figures I still have sealed are the Combiner Hunters, Megatron G1 reissue and Dark Scorponok -- all are due to laziness, though.

If I had a mancave, all would be opened and displayed, I'm afraid....I mainly buy CHUGs so I can share 'em with my kids.

[Chillyn]

Thanks for the welcoming guys! I'll be sure to keep posting my finds.

Mr. Skram.. I feel you on the leader class seekers. I also have the generations jet fire, and yes, unless you have a lot of leader class and masterpiece, it throws everything off.

Bodrock.. I love chugs. They are affordable and not so fragile. That's cool you let your kids play with them. Nice FM. Was hunting all week for him at ross with no luck.

[Autobot N]

In addition, I have a UW Computron coming in the mail on the 5th, as it wasn't able to get here in time.

Paralon
Dragonus

[Ironhidensh]

Got new TF's? Post your findings here.

Quoting the original poster, I would just like to point out that this thread is exactly 1 month shy of being 10 years old.

I'm bad at acronyms, what were CHUGs again?

[Kurona]

I'm bad at acronyms, what were CHUGs again?

Acronym that stands for Classics Hunt for the Decepticons Universe Generations. Basically used to refer to any toy that's meant as a modernized version of a G1 character like in Generations, Classics, Universe and some parts of 2010's Hunt for the Decepticons line. Term's also been expanded to be used for just people's collections or displays of a modernized G1 cast of characters which can include figures not originally meant as the actual G1 character but being used as such anyway, like how some use Beast Hunters Shockwave for G1 Shockwave or Energon Galvatron for Galvatron.

I think some people also include the WfC/FoC toys in it? But yeah that's the basic gist. Modernized G1 toys

Got these in the mail from Entertainment Earth yesterday:



The Legends figures were only available as the set of four, so Warpath's probably going on eBay at some point, and maybe Bombshell too. Still, with the sale that was going on, getting all four was cheaper than trying to hunt down Wreck-Gar and Shockwave on their own would have been.

Still not a fan of Computron's hands and feet, but otherwise it's a decent set, and since I'm trying to be a completeist for the scramble-style CW stuff, I'd have probably gone after it anyways sooner or later.

[-Kanrabat-]

That's all the TF related stuff I got this season. However, I got some cash to buy clothes with so it's still awesome.

I already got the croc so that one will be for my sealed-on-card collection.
