Nice Dinobots! Swoop is the one I'm mostly looking forward to

You will not be disappointed either. He is my fav of the two. Not counting the wings he has next to no beast kibble and bits that aren't part of his look (not counting the dino head either). The bot body is tight and compact and has a nice premium feel. He's a fun and posable TF for sho For more pics and me gushing, head over here.

Today's bots!



FOC Seekers from a Reddit user and TFCC Dion and Runamuck from our very own itscramtastic!

Super glad to finally have a complete CHUG Seeker trio and the TFCC dudes are beautiful!

Picked up TR Blitzwing today at Target. Haven't opened him yet, but I bought him knowing his face paint isn't quite right. Normally I'd wait and hope for a better one to turn up, but seeing as how I may never find another one and there's a chance one I ordered online could also be messed up I decided to go for it. There was also an Octone which I considered getting, but I have a Takara Tomy version pre-ordered. Still, the novelty of having a fifth version of this mold (to go with the two Primes and Black Convoy) is a little appealing.

I still have a couple things coming in the mail, they're just being very slow getting here...

Went to target yesterday. Found, and bought, PotP Swoop, Slag, and Jazz.


I don't even like or want these figures. I was just so excited to see new figures for the first time in several months, that I impulse bought them. I think I'll give them to my kids for Christmas.

[grimdragon2001]

got Slag, Swoop and Jazz aswell

Got lucky with Target's 25% off Saturday deal

[Emerje]

My AmiAmi package finally arrived containing Legends Triggerhappy, Brawn, and Kickback. For the two smaller guys this is definitely what I consider the best version of each, especially Kickback, I wasn't very happy with the yellow wings on the Hasbro version (still bought it anyway). Triggerhappy I would say is on par with the Hasbro version. Not better or worse, just different.

What a surprise this is. On an outing I visited one my local Ross stores, to see if they had those Autobots Unite packs in. Sure enough, it had one, which I got:

Legion Megatron & Decepticon Beserkers

It happens to be my no. 1 set to get, because of the TLK Megatron and the Prime Breakdown molds. Now, there I found a surprise, a rather big one. Two years ago, Ross had AoE First Edition Optimus Prime, anyone remember? Well, we got a bit of a repeat this year, and I snagged one because my wife told me to once I told her about it :

Platinum Edition Year of the Monkey Optimus Primal

... for only 30 bucks. Don't believe me? Proof is right here.

[Ironhidensh]

We still doing dash board haul pics?

Nice Dinobots! Swoop is the one I'm mostly looking forward to

I say this a hater of mainline figures, who is extremely biased to MP and 3rd party figures: Swoop is **** amazing.

[TF-fan kev777]

Went PotP Legends hunting yesterday, with success!!! I already have Thrilling 30 Shrapnel, so I passed on him, but got the other 3.

[Rysquad]

Need to get pics up but it's been a good week of hauling.

Legion TLK 2-pack Bumblebee/Hot Rod
Legion TLK 2-pack Megatron/Berserker
One-Step TLK 2-pack Bumblebee/Hot Rod

Voyager TR Blitzwing
Legends TR Walgreen's Wingspan and Cloudraker

Legends PotP Beachcomber
Legends PotP Slash
Deluxe PotP Dreadwind
Deluxe PotP Jazz

25% off toys at Target helped.

:Platinum Edition Year of the Monkey Optimus Primal

... for only 30 bucks. Don't believe me? Proof is right here.

I don't need proof but I also saw them at Ross yesterday for the same price. I was a bit surprised as they spent time warming shelves at Ross last Xmas season. Hell I nabbed one at $6 at some point.

Got a little PotP haul myself, but it took a little work. Hit target early this morning and they showed wave 1 legends came in on the truck but couldn't find them. They advised me to come back later or tomorrow. We spent all day at the local Ren Faire and hit them again on the way home. Well, it paid off.

Yes he is. One of the best mainline figures I've handled in years. Slag Slug ain't no slouch either. I'm very impressed with them dinos. I'm off to free Slash

hope Axel doesn't mind

I was thinking more My Michelle.

Got a bit of a bummer. My copy has two left thighs preventing full transformation. I'll pick up anotjwr at some point and return the other.

How much is Beachcomber going for? I'd be seriously tempted to pick him up for a tenner.

$10 ish, but as reported if you can hold out until 11/22 Target is doing a BoGo 50%. When I spoke to the people at Target they said the stock date was 11/22. So roll them dice or do like me and harass them into pulling the case from the warehouse.

To be fair though, I hadn't heard about the promo until after I was home.

Thanks. And for the tip. But alas, I'm English so I'll have to see what happens here.

If you got yours from Target on Saturday, you ended up getting the same deal or possibly better. Saturday was 25% off all toys, so the same discount as BOGO 50%, but without having to buy 2 like items.

The sad but true reality is in my side bar info. A day late and a dollar short

Great haul day today.

Up first, I finished off Titan's Return with the clones. (except for Ramhorn, which I already have on pre-order).

Well that score was the result of checking 3-4 targets a day since PotP wave 1 deluxes were first spotted and 6-7 Walgreens a day for the past 2 weeks looking for the clones. So I was tra-la-laing my ass off.

Of course I did luck into the PotP wave 1 Legends by chance on 25% off 2 days later, so nah-nah-na-nah-nah there.

A friend from the US secured me these goodies that were not obvious to find in Canada at a decent price:







That Chromia rocks. Her and Hot Rod are retooled so much from the original molds they come from that transforming them was a virginal experience.

Not too hot on that arcee though, I didnt realize the fron of her car was like a bottle nosed dolphin. Might comment more in the Titans Return thread when I have time. Still happy I have all of these

[no-one]

You got a pretty cool friend there slick Willy Jeans. What cha think about them cyber battalion figures? I keep seeing em, but I can't commit.
