Congrats on getting those Unicron trilogy figures guys! I did a small purge recently but those were spared on the fact that they arr too awesome not to have.

Well this sucks, didn't notice this until after I opened the package but Gnaw is missing his tail!

It should have been in the top right of the bubble.

Well that's going back to Amazon.

You sure it didn't fall to the bottom of the packaging? I've had that happen before

Nah, I had already opened it when I realized it was missing. At first I thought I dropped it, but couldn't find it anywhere around me. Then I found where it belonged in the packaging and checked the picture I had already taken and realized it was never there to begin with.

Either that was something open before and returned poorly, or it's a manufacturing mishap.
No matter, back to Amazon it goes!

A shame because it's a great figure for what it is.

It was completely sealed with no sign of having been opened before. There's even a label on the bottom from the seller saying it's new.

Definitely going to replace him, he's a surprising nice figure that looks great in shark mode.

So I might be developing a covid boredom related movie bot buying habit...

News Credits: 1642 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Mon May 04, 2020 7:38 pm

You got a dang good bot there. Sentinel is an impressive figure, he has wowed me tremendously.

Also, I got some parts in the mail today. With these parts, my Beast Wars Iguanus is complete, Armordillo is only missing the foot that goes with his mace (I have the mace), Jetfire has his key and is now only missing a missile launcher, and Wing Saber now has his key and missile, so he only needs 1 sword blade and 1 missile launcher with missile!

The Selecticons have arrived!

Congratulations! Now we just need some 3P pants for Skar to turn him into Clouder's Decepticon suit.

Arms and legs, definitely. He doesn't need pants tho:

Tuesday both Selects Tentakil and the Spy Patrol set showed up. I wasn't expecting these at all because as of Tuesday morning the Spies weren't expected until Wednesday and Tentakil's status changed from arriving Tuesday to "Local delivery restriction - Delivery not attempted
Recommended action : No action required. Delivery will be re-scheduled when conditions improve." It was a bright, sunny morning when I got that email. :-?

Whatever, they're here and I'm happy. Overbite didn't ship until Tuesday so he'll be here Thursday.

I got a tiny little box.

I didn't know the box was so thin or that it could be turned inside out to make a tape. 8-)

I also got a box.

Congrats to everyone on some of the dandy hauls. Particularly these adorable little Selects cassettes! I, too, received a box. Among some other good finds/sales.

This is one of the better hauls I’ve brought back from a Target run. I popped over for food, and walked away with more. And a lighter wallet.

I’m just gonna say that these cassettes make amazing little non-official duocons. If only I could find Ratbat and Rumble.

Ha! I was surprised that they hold together so well, and that the colors don’t clash harshly. They really look like they were made to fit together, given where their pegs are. Makes me wish we had more TFs with wings in bot mode.

Or maybe just some more bats?

Probably just more bats.

Got a package of parts today. Finally, after a year long hunt, I have a complete Transmetal Waspinator! Specifically, the parts that arrived were 3 beast mode lower legs and his right smaller wing

Today I got 2 boxes.

Possibly the best Transmetal since his vehicle mode actually looks like a vehicle with some bug themed parts and not an animal with wheels. Plus the use of chrome exceeds anything found on the others (those wings!) and the molding still looks modern, he looks really good next to Generations Waspinator.

Anyway, Selects Underbite showed up from Pulse so I've now completed my Seacons!

Love this guy! Being mostly ball joints he poses with in a very emotive way, and the only place where his buggy bits get in the way is with raising his hands up in a "surrender" position in bot mode.

Bought him years ago, and well kinda made off like a smooth criminal. 8-)

Got the seller to drop from $15 to $5 by doing my Waspinator impression, and had the poor guy laughing so hard that he could barely stand.

: Who ya gonna call?

3 boxes and a bubble mailer for today. Dragons and dinos and seacons, oh my! I grabbed Slug and Slash in a lot with Strafe (not shown) who I already have for $25 shipped. Strafe will be going back on Ebay to make the deal even better.
