No Hot Rod or Soundwave, but I found Barricade at last! And the first sighting of Tiny Turbo Changers I've had since last May!

Also, because, as big of an Iron Man fan that I am, I concede that Thor has the best (and 2nd best) movie entrances ever

[william-james88]

Agreed ob that Thor statement. Hard to argue otherwise.

New haul! Jinjiang KO Generation Toys Gravity Builder in G2 colours.

ZeroWolf - These really are good. I used to think that as a kid I had almost every BW figure, but that’s definitely a false memory. I didn’t have a single one of these, so they’re all new to me. There isn’t a single clunker in this months haul for me.

William-james88 - I wouldn’t say you guys overhyped him. He’s a great little figure. Very posable and well balanced. I love his alt mode. I’m glad I snagged him.

Cicadacon is the big stand out for me. I was hoping he’d be good, but I think he’s so much more,

Some of these do have flaws. Jetstorm’s water gimmick is unnecessary in my opinion. It hampers the figure a little, but he’s still cool. Ramhorn’s backpack is so heavy, and transforming him was a real pain. He looks amazing though, and I love his face sculpt. And the combination of Big Mos’s heavy backpack, and completely hollow legs makes him difficult to balance. He might be displayed in his “ant lion” mode, because of how cool that looks. I’m still planning on picking up Transquito, despite the molds couple of flaws.

TM Scavanger remains my number one insect. He’s nearly impossible to beat.
All in all, I’m real pleased with these.

You definitely have good taste with tm scavenger, he's fantastic. One of my favourite transmetals ever.

Got ahold of Studio Series Megatron. Could never find this guy in Edmonton, so of course in the small town near my parent's place I found one. Along with Megatronus, Alchemist Prime, Quintus Prime, and Solus Prime. None of which I'd ever seen in the city! Too many damn nerds and ebay scalpers! Oh well, I have them now, so I'm happy!

[D-Maximal_Primal]

SCORE!!!!!!




Yes, I did store all of the extra bits. Pictures will come this week of Daddy Dev with his little Son

[-Kanrabat-]

How's this Devastator combined in hand? Is it solid or is it hopelessly cheap like Takara's Encore?

It's not bad, but it could have used that purple chest piece clipping into Long Haul's truck grill

[EvasionModeBumblebee]

Woo!

Got SS Bee, Ironhide, and the tiny VW Bee from Target with that sale they’re having now. Haven’t gotten to try them all out yet, but SS Bee is really cool despite being a little finicky!

[Bucky]

Last of my toys for this month arrived. Got the vs pack of Corahda and Saberback for a great price.

I’ve been wanting Corahda for a real long time. I might have hyped him up a bit in my head, but he’s still amazing, and I’m so glad I finally have him. Although, like with Jetstorm and Big Mos, I’m not sure why he’s a Maximal?

Saberback is more or less what I expected, if not slightly better. I was actually anticipating him to be a dud, but he’s fine. One of his back fins was broken in the box though. Nothing a little epoxy won’t fix.

...also I got a little 66 Action Megaman. He’s adorable, and I love the Blue Bomber,

[D-Maximal_Primal]

All the way from the great white north, I have finally got the final wave of Crash Combiners!!



I'm honestly sad that the Beeside set looked so disappointing and I never got it. If I had got that set, I would have had the entire original 6 main cast members (minus Fixit) as Crash Combiners. But having Ultrabee means I still have Bee, Swipe, and Drift. I'll need to post pictures later of Papa Devy and little Devy, along with all my RiD Combiners

[Jelze Bunnycat]

Did some quick shopping:

Bumblebee The Greatest Hits Soundwave & Doombox
Bumblebee The Greatest Hits Bumblebee Cassette Pack

Get this: the cashier scanned the $10 coupon directly from the ad she had handy, normally it's an app coupon. And Walmart had the RiD 2015 Warriors on clearance for a mere $7. Unfortunately Windblade will be there to stay, as the rest was pretty much gone, except for:

RiD 2015 Warriors Class Autobot Twinferno

Now Laserbeak isn't alone anymore. Now to hopefully come across Ravage and the red guy.

Somebody got a haul from HTS on ebay today. 1-steps RID Sideswipe and TLK Barricade and Hound to go with her 1 step Bee and Underbite from last week. (Yes I spoil her.)

I think she likes Barricade best out of the newcomers, but Bee is still her favorite. She has also turned Bee into a 1-step triple changer. You can see him in airplane mode. She came up with that completely on her own.

this is so awesome!

Glad she likes Barricade, and that Bee plane is really creative

[william-james88]

Very proud of her and her ingenuity. Keep a lookout for the Cyberverse One Steps. As far as one steps go, they seem to be the best of the bunch, and even feature action gimmicks. Those are not available yet, but keep a lookout for when they are.

[TF-fan kev777]

Already on the radar. I'm hoping they will be out around the same time as Siege right before Christmas.

They should, I too am depending on these for my girl. Will get her that hot rod and megatron so she can recreate the scene from the movie.

Got damn lucky today.

My local TrU finally restocked SS Brawl and Megatron, but they were hidden on the very top of the shelf while all the wave 1 crap was clogging all the space below. I could finally use that raincheck I saved for months to get that Megatron. He's pretty good, but I will not sell my good old "Green Burger".

Also, found a little something that was very well hidden in the locked vidya display cabinet at Walmart. Buried behind the restocked NES Classics, 2DSXL and Switch, a lone SNES Classic. Had to zap my credit card for this but of course, no regrets.

[Rogue-Primal]

Just got hold of my 2 favorite Legends Figures feom the Bumblebee Movie toyline= Speed Series/Energon Igniters Optimus Prime and Bumblebee. Fact is my friend boughta pair for himself last weekend but he decided to only keep his Bumblebee and he gave me his Optimus because he wasn't satisfied with it.

So i received Optimus as a nice freebie and purchased my own Bumblebee as a partner after seeing the new VENOM movie.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

My package has made its way to its final station! Man, I love me some trains, and this train is really satisfying. Kinda glad I have the TR Astrotrain though, I feel like this mold was made more for Shouki. Also awesome how heavy he feels

[Amelie]

It has yet to arrive, but I just snagged POTP Optimus Prime for just shy of £30. He'll be popped into my G1 vintage display as Orion Pax...

[Fires_Of_Inferno]

Went to the flea market today and bought myself a couple of shots.

Treadshot (and Catgut)

and DROPSHOT!

[Bucky]

Oh, nice, Fires_Of_Inferno. That Dropshot looks very cool. I've been on the fence about picking one up myself, because I'm not sure where it would fit in well enough in my displays. What are your thoughts on him? Worth picking up?

You must have a G1 shelf of some sort, right? He was originally a Micromaster, but this figure was used in IDW's All Hail Megatron as a normal sized bot.
