Where are you located? If it is in the US and not to far, I could pick one up for you and ship it. Can probably be done for less than the original $30 price point. The one I snagged yesterday came out to $14 after tax, so that plus shipping is all you would need to cover.

I actually do give him his own place, sort of. I use CW Megs as my generations Megatron. So I put Nitro's head on TR Megatron as the color match is almost perfect.

I'm in the UK sadly. Also I need not to buy any more figures ATM, especially as I have just entered dealings with a friend to purchase one of his unwated figs.

Thanks for the offer though! ;)^

CW Liokaiser. Not a huge fan of the tank mold guys, but I like the rest of it and it looks interesting in the combined mode with all the odd colors. I'm glad I finally got it.

After years of beating around the bush I finally decided to pull the trigger and get the Platinum Ultra Magnus.

It was quite expensive but I'm really happy to finally have him... despite the weird-ass vehicle mode. I mean, what is THAT? The original Optimus version had it better. Also, those red transformation hinges from the shoulder are extremely fragile. Just bending them slightly the wrong way gave some nasty stress mark. By the way, I'll dump the box but I'll keep the cover flap and the manual.

Of course, where Magnus truly shine is his kick-ass robot mode with his wicked cool hammer. Now THAT'S worthy of a leader sized Magnus display. Too bad the WFC version is only a deluxe. I'll have to go 3P for that one I guess.

Would I recommend that Magnus? Only for a Magnus fan who want the ultimate representation of the character in his Magnus display. Like me. I'm very happy with it. However for play, one should go with the Beast Hunters version instead.

Hey, remember my Ross hauls from around Xmas? The supposedly Walmart exclusive Legion 2-packs? Of course you don't...

Well, today I got lucky and got the final one at Ross:

TLK Autobots United Legion Bumblebee & Autobot Hot Rod

Me thinks they're clearing out the leftover Xmas stock to make room for Easter. Now that I have it in-hand I finally get the joke of this pack. Yellow & Black, Black & Yellow 8-}

I can tell. What I like about the Microman bike is that it's not based on a normal cassette tape, but a reel-to-reel cassette with the big metal reels that were popular in Japan back then instead of the normal little plastic reels.

Soundwave is missing a minion. Is the cassette compatible with G1 Soundwave BTW? If yes, Hasbro missed something big by not bringing it into the Transformers universe. Just imagine a Soundwave minion that could transform into a bike with a "human" driver. The spy missions he would have been able to do... :-?

Kan, the cassete is to scale with a real cassette. Not the mini cassetes like Ravage and the like. They made that bike, and one that transformed into a helicopter for the figures to ride on. Microman figures are 3.75 inch(ish) scale (but actually measured in metric)

AWESOME HAUL, Lio89!!! ;)^

Does the cassette include the figure?

Edit:
A pic of a reissue of the Stealth Heli.

More about that here.

OK, sorry. Back to TF hauls! :lol:

Got me a Alpha Trion/Metalhawk set and a sweet way to give 2-pack prime a more fitting weapon with a piece of lego :-D

Metalhawk also looks amazingly detailed though for a such a small version of a pretender shell ;)^

Just came back from my local geek store. I finally bought the amazing Beast Machine Buzzsaw. Quite a disgusting little critter!

I found my FOC Ultra Magnus way too small in my Magnus display and I wanted a big Cybertronian Magnus. So I traded-in my FOC Ultra Magnus for one that was already modded and wearing the Pandora Box armor upgrade. Got it 100% complete but I chose to dump the box.

I can consider that Magnus display to be finally complete!

He's not that bad. I enjoy my 3 RiD combiners, all fairly nice and enjoyable. Similar to G1 combiners with the stuff they can do, but still quite cool

D-Max, to her you're still a little kid. :-P

And little kids play with RiD15 toys. :-D

-Kanrabat- that's a nice addition to the collection. I used to have one, but mine was very loose and floppy, so I sold it. I do like that FoC mold, though, both Prime and Magnus. I especially like the blue on Magnus, it's my favorite shade.

And for my haul, today my Walmart finally got wave 1 of the Prime Masters. So now I have Skullgrin, Metalhawk, and Cloudburst.

Alright, so I went and I bought the one Windblade that I'd been seeing at walmart for the past few months. I already have three of her! Oh well, it's not like I don't already have a village of Soundwaves, an entire heard of Optimus Primes, and enough Bumblebees to make Nicolas Cage crap his pants.

I'v been checking Walmart for Battletrap and Tailgate for almost a whole month! Last night target had them 1 Tailgate, 1 Battleslash, and 2 Roadtraps. I love these guys, Battletrap is one of my favorite figures from PotP

Couple days ago my Legends Overlord FINALLY arrived a month after it shipped from AmiAmi. :roll:

It actually arrived a week after a package I ordered from them a week later. The fun of SAL shipping.

Tuesday I had to make a special trip to pick up another package from AmiAmi at the post office. Supposedly they tried to deliver it Monday, but the carrier said nobody was home to sign for it. Except there was two of us home and the front door comes into the living room so we would have heard it if someone knocked on the door or rang the doorbell.

It containing Legends G2 Megatron and Windblade, Movie the Best TLK Megatron, and MP Targetmaster Hot Rod. It shipped EMS because it was only $5 more than SAL parcel would have been.
Could have shipped everything in multiple packages through regular SAL, but since the MTB figures are packaged in alt mode Megatron's box is massive placing it outside of regular SAL dimensions. It ended up being cheaper shipping everything together through EMS than it would have been shipping MTB Megs SAL parcel and the rest unregistered SAL.

Got a good deal on a couple new things on Amazon, they should be here Friday so I'll post those later.

I have all 5 PotP wave 2 Deluxes and Hun-Grr + Elita-1 coming in tomorrow from KapowToys! Wooh!

After that I hope I can score the Wave 3+4 bots at a discount again from the US.
Keeping my eyes open for discounted Battletraps and Tailgates. (updating my signature)
