Picked up a Studio Series Rampage at Target. Not really a "haul", per se, but still...

I would respectfully state that you indeed pulled in a "haul" as I find SS Rampage to be amazing. Love that figure.

Thought it was weird, but the Walmart by where I'm working put out some G1 reissue Soundwaves. So I picked one up for the hell of it.

...I'd love him more if I got one that wasn't defective. One of the shoulder pins was loose and he couldn't hold his arm up. So I took it back, and I managed to get another one (I had to have someone check in the back, since the shelf was empty), and when I got that one home and opened it up, the OTHER shoulder pin was loose. To add insult to injury, they were on opposite sides of the middle shoulder joint that can be popped out, so if the first Rampage just had the arm from the second one, it would have been fine, but of course returns don't work like that.

Had the extreme pleasure of going to TFcon this weekend, and holy cows did I end up with a massive haul

Now that's a lot of sweet G1 here! Most are complete?

[TF-fan kev777]

Closing out October with Siege Ratchet. Thankfully my wallet should get a little bit of a break in November.

All 3 Powermasters and flywheels are! i now have 5 of the 7 powermasters, just 2 to go!

gonna order some toyhax stickers for Jazz, Doublecross, and Flywheels here tonight too

Man, I love me my G1 Decepticon Powermasters. Darkwing and Dreadwind are incredible. I'm only missing a Joyride myself--I'd love to add him to my collection sometime next year, but I'm working on building up my Decepticon Pretenders right now.

As for "hauls," I preordered a Siege Rung. I love that doofy little guy. He should be in my mailbox sometime next week.

If you don't mind, preordered from where?

I have to agree on the Dreadwing bros front. That combined jet mode is awesome!

Also, Slapdash's transformation is really fun, Siege Mirage should be Slapdash, plain and simple

Well I finally found a Rachet yesterday on my way back from work. Funny thing is the cashier said I was like the 5th person today to buy one. I'm just glad I got the last one apparently and don't have to go out of my way after work anymore to find one.

An eBay seller. It just shipped yesterday.

[Fires_Of_Inferno]

Thank you EB Games Canada for feeding my plastic addiction! I'm gonna go grind this guy up and snort him right now!

[Cobotron]

@Fires - Glad you were able to pick up your "prescription"!

I have been hustling around town hitting every Walmart to see if I can score a Bluestreak for my Brother who lives in a no Walmart zone.
No luck on that front yet, but I did find these!


Barricade looks SO dope!

Look like I'm starting a "Geewun" Ratchet collection. To go with my G1 and my Siege one, I jus got the Cyberverse "armor" one.

This may be the best Cyberverse Armor figure so far. The bot himself is AMAZING, the vehicle is perfect, and the armor gimmick is fully compatible in both modes. I highly recommend him.

I went to Velsercon and came home with this lot

[Rogue-Primal]

Managed to snag up Siege Battlemaster Aimless. Only issue is that storing his gun on his arm makes him side-heavy.

Are the Autobot and Decepticon logos paper weights or something? Looks like something I might try and find.

They're actually book supports, lumps of granite almost 3 inches thick. You probably won't find them on the web. The guy i bought them from works at a funeral center and had these custom made from a company that makes headstones for the graves.

Well hell, cool find though.

Well that guy needs to setup and etsy shop

I got books and piles of paper that need to be held in place

I had written up a haul post covering the past couple weeks since my last post but it looks like I must have forgotten to hit submit after previewing.

Take 2.

First up, this is actually from September, but I forgot to post it: MP-18+ Bluestreak. Funny how they don't put his name anywhere on the package.

Next is an order from Mandarake: Japanese WFC Thundercracker exclusive and Prime Nightmare Unicron. Thundercracker was the last one I needed to complete the Japanese set, and for only $25 it was worth the wait. As for Unicron, back when the HasLab campaign was happening I decided to track down some of the Unicrons that I didn't have, mainly the three versions from Prime. I set up an alert for them with Mandarake and this one popped up for only $20! Didn't care that it was loose (which is pretty rare on Manda), it's complete.

Then there's the Amazon exclusive Siege Fan Vote Battle 3-pack.

Walmart vintage Optimus Prime, still available for $25, seemed like a fair price to me.

Picked up these two BotBots 5 packs from the local Kmart that's closing for a little over $6 each. They had tons of these and the blind singles so I'll probably end up with more as the price comes down.

And finally picked up Siege Mirage for $13.5-something thanks to the new lower price, the 25% off coupon and 5% off with Red Card. Great deal!

Damn, that is an awesome Unicron find!

[STngAR]

Well today was pretty good. Finally found Bluestreak and Soundblaster at Wal-Mart. Weird thing they were on the shelves like regular figs, no big display

Got these 4 in the mail. Always nice when I get back from being away to boxes. Got a Beast Wars Tigatron too but forgot to include him. He was less yellow than the one I already have so now I'm gonna try the whitening treatment to him.

Also Got G1 Grimlocks gun, last weapon I needed so all the POTP Dinobots have a gun and sword.
