Well Magnus' interest has been piqued and that ain't no bull. Now to see if this lil guy lives up to the hype.
Oh she will.

It didn't. Smash is down at the bottom of the barrel on top of Pteraxadon. To be fair, the BMs were pretty much just that

I kid, I kid ... I like the gun ones just fine. 8-)

I am glad to have the piece of map! ;)^

April 30th my smeggin' aft. Anyway, thank you Amazon for this fat ballerina. Also Carkick and the Universal Studios exclusive Kre-O set with Evac.

: Mine's bigger, and that's not even half of it.

Now to wait on Jetter and the Dale Earnhardt Jr. that supposedly shipped from Hasbro yesterday.

Ignore him, D-Max.

Congrats on that haul, GeekyGamerGal

Well, technically the only new one here is Hound. :oops:

I just used my monitor for a backdrop with the guys that have been there since February.

Had to go out today and ended up with a few good things. While picking up some stuff at Walmart I found a Cyberverse Hammerbyte. Heard he's pretty good and these guys are under $12 at Walmart so I gave him a shot. He's surprisingly good! Decent amount of articulation, a non-obtrusive gimmick that hides the trigger in his left shoulder without affecting the joint, and a more elaborate and clever transformation than we usually see in this class that results in a surprisingly nice shark mode. Very happy with him.

Against my better judgement I took a chance on Target while I was out with plans on making use of the new weekly ad coupon ($10 off $50, $25 off $100). Was hoping to find Earth Rise Optimus and Astrotrain, but they only had Astrotrain. Still, $10 off is the best I'm probably going to find so I bought him. But being priced $49.99 means he probably wouldn't qualify for the discount on his own. Luckily I found something else I didn't expect to see, a Cyberverse Scraplet! Only seen one of these before and I definitely wanted one so he was an easy buy. With the $10 off plus 5% Red Card savings and a 5% off birthday savings the two only came to $45 after tax. Not bad at all considering the after market prices on the Scraplet.

That's a dang good deal for Astrotrain and the Scraplet. I only ever saw that scraplet once, and I still haven't seen astrotrain

Just arrived earlier today. I'm chuffed.

Still prefer the old G1 Shockwave above all others. Hefty die-cast.

I have gotten some nice figures in recently! Roadbuster is to die for, absolutely incredible. Bumblebee is an ok figure, but not sure if it was something that was needed. Shatter is garbage, worst SS I have gotten in a long time. Definitely would have skipped if I was not collecting SS.

Energon Optimus Prime is awesome. This was my first Prime since I had one episode of energon (where he would combine) that my parents recorded from cartoon network. I would watch that tape at least twice a day when I was younger. Having this figure is so awesome and I can kind of check it off my grail list. If anyone has his supermode helmet flaps or a complete trailer for a decent price hit me up. This Prime also completes my Unicron Trilogy Primes!

Also got Titans Return Krok(kork?) today. Nice figure, but now I want the rest of the scavengers.

Had a beast of a last night surprise!

Scored these from Canada, at a really good price too. They cost me what the Siege Netflix Magnus would

@LinaNui Do you already have the real Cybertron Optimus Prime? Still, nice haul. And at least your Energon Optimus has the main part of the Super Mode hat.

Ah, so you find collapse-prone legs fashionable? :-D

Jab at die-cast aside, nice haul.

Now that's a deal!

Just be careful with OpOp, he suffers from GPS. Not to mention BW chrome issues.

The chrome issues at least can be taken care of with clear-coat. Amazing what protective finish can do.

No I do not have the original Cybertron OP. I feel that the Siege one is good enough, since I don't really have that big of a connection to that version. I do know that the original is better but siege works for me.

I'm probably gonna give him a good coat of clearcoat here soon.

But these are both pretty dang nice toys!

A couple grocery tun hauls and an Amazon haul over the past week. I'm playing it slow and only opening 1 every few days.

Save that Megatron for last. He's the best.

Well, I can think of three good reasons for you to get the real one at some point.

Reason 1: Leobreaker. Reason 2: Wing Saber. Reason 3:

Reason four, that basically a Masterpiece.

Definitely, I went with Bee first, kind of meh, but he was 50% off so I'm okay with $10 for him. Crankcase will be up next, he was on a decent deal on Amazon, $14 shipped. Screamer and Megatron will follow, both were full price.

News Credits: 22 · by **Rodimus Prime** » Tue Apr 07, 2020 10:17 pm

Starscream is pretty good, but I do think he should have had a leader release. That HFTD Screamer was my 2nd favorite movie toy after RoTF leader Prime.

Also, got a Cyberverse haul yesterday and an Animated one today!

News Credits: 101 · by **-Kanrabat-** » Wed Apr 08, 2020 11:59 am

The only stinker in that Animated lit is Voyager Starscream. All the rest are pretty stellar. Good choice! Hope you have all the parts.

I sold them to him, and as far as I know they were all complete. I bought them new and took care of them. I forgot how tall Lockdown is for a deluxe figure.
