How do you like Lio and Galvatron?

WWII Bumblebee is really fun! Not the greatest mold, but he's still good!

I like Lio and Galvs! But they both surprised me. Galvatron's robot head is just so big, and a bit out of proportion. And I was not expecting the Lio robot mode to be that big! It's cool, but I was expecting somewhat smaller

Well, my search for SS wave 5 didn’t pan out, but I did find some other cool stuff!

They actually ended up being about the same price, Target price matched GameStop so I got Crowbar for $8. I’m not expecting too much after Berserker but I think he’ll look cool with Crankcase.

And whats that spaceship in the back?

The spaceship is Armada Jetfire. He's been so cool I've kept him on the table since I got him a month ago. I am expecting Armada Prime and Overload this weekend to combine with him into the Tower of Death.

And the beasts are pretty awesome! I now see why Japan loves Lio Convoy. I also now have Big Convoy in stock to go with them, but I'm gonna wait to ship him with a bunch of other guys in March most likely

HA! I bet Jetfire said the same thing.

Now comes the part where Densh yells at me to get off his damn lawn.
Even though I'm older than him.

Picked up my Encore Big Convoy from the post office today. Also got myself one of those $12.99 TR Overlords at T.J.Maxx. ;)^

Yeah, but you're older than everybody. I'll see myself off your lawn now.

You live in Canada, you aren't allowed a lawn. :-P

Got the tip to check out my local Burlington stores and went to the one in Fairview Heights, IL. Went through the toy section and saw it: Titans Return Trypticon for $59.99. Booyah.

Anyone else get scared that Necro was missing before finding him inside Full Tilt? LOL.

It's been a fun weekend of cruising with my youngest. Our Botbot shirts came in Friday, so Saturday we decided to celebrate and pick up the last 2 we wanted from the blind single packs (Totes McGotes and Fomo). While wearing our shirts of course.

Today we checked a Walmart a few towns over and put together a nice haul. Studio Series WWII Bee for me and Cyberverse 1-steps Bumblebee and Soundwave for her on clearance for $2 each. Even mom/wife couldn't get mad at buying those (WWII Bee for me may be another story...)

A couple of dudes arrived. My long awaited Armada fun boys and a fresh (and somehow cheaply won!) Heinrad! It's the Tanuki, the Tank, and the TOWER OF DEATH

Heinrad AND The Tower of Death!
Niiiiiiiiice!

How do you like Mr Testicles and Shadow of the Colossus's final boss? :-?

by **Patrickab7** » Mon Feb 11, 2019 8:07 pm

No buys today as I checked out two Targets and two Walmarts in the St. Louis area. Saw Siege Optimus for the first time as well as a few Siege Megatrons.

On the Cyberverse Ultra front, saw plenty of Bumblebee, Shockwave, and even Shadow Striker but no sign of Slipstream yet. That's the main one I'm looking for acquire; next Siege purchases probably won't come until Wave 3 where practically everything looks good to me.

I adore Heinrad, and fear the Tower

Nice pick-up, D-Max! I always liked that deco of Armada Prime. I think Overload looks better with him than the regular version because of the red.

Very cool, D-Max. Congrats on the tower.

Is that MPM Ironhide to the right? How is that figure??

Yep it is.

He's alright. If you are a movie fan, he's a really good pickup for the MP shelf in bot mode. If you are mediocre or less on the movies, he's not gonna help you like the designs or toys.

I think he’s worth getting, definitely if you like the movies. The transformation isn’t that difficult aside from getting the cab to fit together, and the shoulders aren’t too floppy if you assemble them correctly.

D-Max, I took your advice and left the door panels flipped up so they don’t flop around!
