Oh, and I impulse bought my first MP while I was there. Good ol' Optimus. He's something else! I hope I didn't open a door I can't close. Kinda like his chest that just won't stay shut. Seems I can fix that easily enough, but not sure I can fix MP fever.

Have you transformed to truck yet? I'm wondering if the legs tab together well. I have the Asia reissue and that was a problem I had with mine. It took a little bit of effort to get it to stay tabbed. Also, when I stored the gun in the back, it storage area also had a hard time staying tabbed.

I'll give it a go tomorrow and let you know.

One of my ultimate (and so many people's) HOLY GRAIL. Something that I would never have gotten normally.

I present you...

G1 HEADMASTER CITY SCORPONOK!

I had him in my original childhood collection til about 2006 or so. Fun toy. I wouldn't call it a city at all (more like a fancy repair bay with the claws and lil lift and ramps). The scorpion form with the legs moving when you roll it on the floor was fun. I always hated the headmaster's face though. Even despite the fact the face is the same scale as the other headmasters so it looks ridiculous on Scorponok it's just a really crappy looking face that lets down the otherwise awesome look of the figure. Anyways yeah I can't say I miss the figure but I had fun times of him 'teaming up' with Powermaster Prime (which I still have) against the threat of Unicron (which was just me...) in re-enacting the Marvel comics where Scorponok died a good guy of sorts.

For me Sorpy's head look just fine. Especially because that standard Headmaster head look a bit too big on the regular bots. Plus the helmet help.

Oddly enough his base/city mode is my favorite mode. It use ALL the parts and spread all across the shelf. Each times I look at Scorponok, I'm blown away at how incredible that toy is.

Also, I understand why Fastrack's guns are so expensive individually. They do tend to pop of his hands easely and the damn plastic tidbits tend to jump all around the floor and end up under the fridge.
I need to be extra, extra careful of those.

Actually it always reminded me of this

All along, Scorponok was Fortress Maximus' father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate. Who knew?

Speaking of Scorponoks is the Movie Legends figure rare or something? I've had it on saved search on eBay for ages now and I hardly ever see it (and when I do it's for silly prices). I want it to go with my Movie Legends Ravage. These ones made so much more sense scale-wise than the Deluxe figures (and bizarrely Scorponok's attempt at a robot mode looks better proportioned on the Legends figure than the Deluxe if I was to ever transform it)

oh and forgot this i got from charity shop earlier. Love the mold but I'd like it in the movie-accurate green (also it's missing the rear bit of the vehicle). Otherwise a nice figure. The second one I've found in recent times. Both with the mechtech gun.

More like speaking of hauls. AMIRITE?

You weren't joking Kanra -- G1 Scorponok?!? He's definitely one of dem holy grails.

I missed out on him back in the day, so that's why I'm especially hoping we see him in Titan-size. I could pay $150, which I know would not be enough for a complete G1 like you got there! I'm gonna need to see more pics.

[Carnivius_Prime]

Retro-haul?
Just found pics of my Scorponok from my original childhood collection I sold off in 2006. Think I had all the bits including the two small orange guns you can see in Fasttracks hands. Bet he'd be worth a ton more now than I sold him for back then but I was in a bit of a crisis then and selling them helped sort out bills and then some.

I got a lil somin somin coming in the mail today. Would be even more, but HLJ has started taking their sweet time filling certain orders.

[Kotori_Sonoda]

Picked these guys up-and an unrelated manga- today.

[-Kanrabat-]

Got a marvelous haul from a whole different level!

THIS IS IT!
It's a different level, allright.

I even paid full price for it. This one will be for my special display at work.

[Kurona]

I really quite like him

Original G1 coloured Prime, Laser OP and black OP. Gah. ninja'd.

I have Laser OP coming in. (along with Nautica, Hotrod TM and that sixshot repaint autobot from the Velocitron pack).

And yay for Rescue Bots! My son has 10 of em. They're quite good. Especially Blades. Man that thing transforms in a twist of the hand, and actually looks good in both modes.

[Kurona]

Ooooh right, totally forgot the Optimus version of the mold had a third use!

Well, if you live in America; you could probably find him for a fairly decent price on Ebay. More than a usual Voyager, but when you're dealing with a boxset...

Next up, is Caliber Optimus Prime.

I dug up a random figures box and here's what I fished out:
Kai at the hotsprings!



Here's an actual haul. A very modest one.
I finally managed to find a TR Gnaw! Expensive as balls at 15$CAN taxes included but still, I finally have him. I'll try it out later.

[nycPrime]

My Optimus evolution set came. I'm pretty happy with it, especially at $30. Orion Pax is pretty nice. Mine has slightly loose joints, which I hear is common. Looks pretty awesome next to MP-10.

I don't have any attachment to the other figure (WFC OP?). With that said, the Cybertonian truck mode is pretty cool. It gives off a Batmobile vibe to me. Bot mode is meh, and transformation isn't very fun. But that truck mode....

So a couple of posts on this page from various people need a reminder.

Please make your posts about what you've actually gotten. Not about what you're getting, have found in the back of the cupboard, want go get etc etc.

It's okay to comment on someone elses haul, as long as the conversation continues to be related to the haul (don't worry, won't be too strict on this one as someone else always comes along in time with their haul to keep things on topic)

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Because he looks like a pizza guy and I am currently working as a pizza guy until I find an engineering job. And I wanted to try mobile upload while I'm in towm

I don't like posting what "on the way" because then you're just inviting a disaster like the plane crashing, boat sinking, package being eaten by a tiger, ect.
