Good way to ring in page 700!

I'm happy to say here's one possibly elusive bugger off my list! There's a couple Hasbro TRU coupons floating around, good till end of August, $20 off and 10% off. They're not supposed to be used in tandem, but my cashier didn't know apparently!





To any other Canadians, I highly suggest you take advantage of these coupons. And with the proof above (my pic of the receipt) then you should be able to double up like I did too! Print out the pics below, they won't accept them in store unless you have them on paper.

This is only in Canada. But as you can see, we need those badly. Even with the coupon's, that MP Prime cost Shajaki close to $200. I cant believe importing it from Hong Kong 2 years ago for $180 would come out to a better deal than waiting for it to show up in stores.

And congrats Shajaki, on that stacking, you are a man after my own heart!

Thanks Will
Someone else in town used both coupons on something a week or so ago, and they accepted them so I thought I'd give it a shot!

I didnt think of stacking yet because I usually already stack the 20$ off on top of a raincheck. Meaning that I have a raincheck for Sky Shadow at $35, so I add something else of $15 value (an RID toy for instance, also with a raincheck) and then that makes a total of 50$, which they remove 20$ off. So I buy the extra figure just so that I can shave an extra 5$ off my initial 35$ leader purchase. So double stacking on top of that might make me go queasy It has happened that cashiers have told me it does not apply to discounted items. And when they tell me that I say that I completely understand and will take back my coupon if the scanning doesnt work (due to the rule). but of course, that means they have to try scanning it to see if it works... and it always does

In short, that stacking is awesome, but I feel if I get anymore stacked than I currently am, I will look like Pamela Anderson

I finally got my TR Titan Master Sawback!
It was one of the few I wanted to buy, since I liked a lot the shield mode.
Only thing I don't like much it's the gap in the back in lion mode, but it's a smaller issue, giving the size of the toy.

People are giving away broadside already?

I know, I couldnt believe it!

I threw mine away at my local geek store to get 5$ in store credit, Gamestop style. Gotta get those Geewun toys somehow!

Poor Broady. So unpopular. I liked the character in the Marvel comics (was never a major one but he was alright in his appearances) but yes his alt-modes have always driven my almmost OCD-like issue with scale all to hell. Few other Transformers are so out of scale with themseelllves like he is. Raaagh, stupid Broadside. Hm I started this post with feeling sympathy for him and now I hate him again.

Mpm-4 ****ing amazing optimus prime.

Its no bee buts he's good

Finally secured a TLK Voyager Megatron. Pre-owned by a collector, complete with box, instructions, and all that. That was a bit like pulling teeth in getting this time. Distribution on these was screwy and all over the place and scalpers were jacking it up to be like double or even triple retail. I'm going to try to secure the Leader class here at some point, hope the distribution and supply is ultimately better.

The TLK Voyager Megatron should be here on Monday I believe (and hope).

I was wrong, came Saturday!

Very awesome figure actually. I totally love it. Positively the best movie Megatron yet I feel. Rank him high up on the list at least.

Now to grab the Legion class, Mission to Cybertron Deluxe, Leader class, and Voice Changer Battle Mask when I can. Hopefully distribution is much improved for the rest!

He's a pretty great little figure; I don't think I'll need to get a Bumblebee ever again

Better than CHUG Bee?

nah

That's got the arms taken off and put back on the other way round. Cheat.
Been trying to sell my Titans Bee for a month or two on eBay. I don't like it. Classics Bee was better in every way. I only sold my one of those cos it had a slight crack on the windshield and it was the original white stripe version where I want the later black stripe one.

This is a UN-haul for me, therefore a haul for someone else.

The first CW team, Superion with Alpha Bravo.
Instead of just throwing it for 50$CAN in store credits at my local geek store, I took my chances to sell it in the local classified for 100$CAN.

Well, turn out a mom (very beautiful woman by the way) bought it for her 11 years old son. She was there with her children and the boy look so shy! It was adowable.

I'm glad to have sold the set, sure, but I'm even happier that that Superion went to an ACTUAL KID who will create wonderful memories with it.

I gave a final warning to the mom and kid before we went on our separate ways. "Be careful not to lose any parts because in 10, 20, or 30 years, when the boy will want the thing(s) back, it will be a real pain to get the parts on the secondary market...

See? I LOVE that. I always sell my stuff on a Dutch marketsite. You get better deals, and you know someone is going to enjoy it. More satisfaction, more money, more toys for you to buy!

I had a few people come by my place in the last 3 weeks during my summer holiday, for various TF's, one was a guy about my age with a 9 y/o son, and he initially came for an Alpha Trion. He left with Alpha Trion, T30 Brainstorm and TR Twinferno. The kid was thrilled. I showed them my TF cabinet (which only has part of my collection btw), and the kid went WOW!
Later, he came back for a TR Soundwave with Laserbeak and Ravage, and tonight he's coming by for a TR Astrotrain and CW Onslaught. I think he's also a TF fan secretly, using his boy as an excuse to buy more cool TF's lol. He liked my Combiner sets, and told me he'd have to convince the homefront first before getting something like a Megatronia box set haha.

Yesterday another guy came for a UW Superion + Powerglide and a Platinum Liokaiser set, and left with those two plus TR Astrotrain and TR Wheelie. And he asked me to keep CW Computron aside for when he got his next paycheck next month. Haha, I love spreading the disease.

Personal haul: I had an incomplete Platinum Titan Force set with the transparent Sentinel Prime, Deluxe Brainstorm and grey/blue Windblade, but without Brainstorm. I decided to sell Sentinel, as I now have Takara Astrotrain, and I think that's the best bot for the mold, and kept Windblade (for now, until I have a Legends Windlbade in the right colours). But it seems I also have an interested party for that Windblade, and as Kapow had the whole set on sale, I'm gonna sell Windblade too, and keep the entire box set for myself. It'll arrive this week.

All that's left is e-Hobby Cobalt Sentries, and the G1 Combiners (never reissued or KO'd, so I gotta buy vintage). I'm almost done!

Dont be too jealous, Trypticon is available in Canada too

I am curious of something, is this recent Soundwave purchase a sort of offering to a recently departed soul?

Woah. Not at that price.
My cash for ultra expensive TFs is going for some more sweet, sweet G1 instead.
Stay tuned for this Friday!

I went on a crazy Cassette hunt this year and this was always on the list. I didn't snatch it up to capitalize on poor Chester, but I was spurred to move it up the list in case it goes up in price.

I wasnt thinking fo capitalising, more like one's way of honouring the dead. But thanks for the reply And good luck on your casette hunt!
