If you read MY post you would see I'm directing you to start a new thread instead of derailing this one.

Hey I was curious, are my new posts more appropriate for this thread? Or is the last one a bit of a derailer?

Not much, but cool nonetheless.

From my local geek shop, Cybertron Lugnutz and TR Wheelie. Lugnutz is not really good, but neat and quirky in his own way. I sold TR Wheelie last time because I found it horrible. But now that I have G1, Classic, and TR Kup, plus G1, and GDO Wheelie, not having the TR one was dumb. So I got it back. He's not good, but not horrible either.

Finally, Cyberverse Spark Armor Shockwave on clearance at 9$CAN. Why not?

Since Walmart.com completely dropped the ball on my Siege Netflix order I've been scrambling to get them from the two local stores. The first store near work I was able to get Chromia and Hound, these were the last Netflix figures on the shelves. In the capital I was able to get Megatron, Hotlink, and Sideswipe. I already have Ultra Magnus and two Scrapfaces, but was counting on a third (which I might have coming) and ordered Mirage off Walmart.com. That's one headache over.

Also last Friday the Seeker two pack showed up from Target.com, still haven't seen those in stores and the end caps have been removed. There is a label on the shelf in the Transformers section (which shrunk again), but still nothing on it.

Got a missing Minicon

by **Drifty** » Mon Aug 10, 2020 11:34 pm

Congrats Dude!

News Credits: 100 · by **-Kanrabat-** » Tue Aug 11, 2020 6:38 pm

I'm happy! Very happy! I found an (almost) 100% complete G1 Sunstreaker at a relatively reasonable price at my local geek store! Missing only the 3rd missile, and with some loving wear. At 80.50$CAN taxes included it's an incredible deal compared to Ebay.

And man, the Lamborghini Countach is my favorite car of all times.

There is no rub sign, no year, and no Hasbro on the copyright spot. I think it's an authenthic early Sunstreaker. One of the oldest transforming toy ever!

The bot is ugly. Awkward. Tacky.

And SUPER COOL! 8-)

Ooof that back though.

Maybe this will make me want to get the Masterpiece version. But one thing is sure, the upcoming Earthrise Sunstreaker is a GET!

For now G1 Sunstreaker is the KING of my new Hill.

Congrats on getting Heavy Load's Mini-Con! If only I had that kind of luck with getting Drill Bit for Metroplex..

Windbreaker wasn't the subject of a childish Hall of Fame campaign on TFW2005, as far as I know. Erector (whose name is unfortunate for two reasons - the puerile one, and the more important fact it's someone else's trademark), however, was.

This might be a bit off topic, and I meant to ask earlier: which Juggernaut figure is that?

The pendulum of returning favors between me and Rodimus Prime swing high and wide, as we completed yet another trade. Thanks to him, I was sure to get my hands on the ER Seekers 2 pack!

So that mean the other stuff that I held up unboxing can finally be open!

As expected, the Seekers are absolutely fantastic and are a pleasure to transform. I'm amazed to see that the same characters with relatively the same bot modes...

...have a completely different alt-mode between Cybertronian and Earth modes. I'm also surprised to see that Siege Skywarp is actually CHARCOAL instead of black!

Skywarp's minions are also perfect. But that boxset, I was really lucky to have fount it in store and at the normal price too.

"Wait,,, you sell for HOW MUCH on Ebay?"

Overall, I'm very happy that for once in my life, I have the Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp trio together... and TWICE!

Thank you Rodimus Prime for the trade! Hope you enjoyed what I sent you! ;)^

He's a good guy. He had picked up a Scrapface for me after Walmart screwed up my order as I talked about previously so I could finally get my third. But then completely out of nowhere before he could mail it out Walmart randomly shipped Scrapface out to me which arrived Wednesday night along with a Decepticon Mirage that I had ordered separately after canceling him from the order Scrapface came from. To top things off, I had used PayPal credit to buy the entire line at once and pay them off interest free over 6 months, but when I canceled my original orders last week instead of giving me back the money as a refund they deducted it from my Netflix series 2 pre-order which is rather odd. I'm guessing they figured one Walmart purchase is as good as another, but I'd rather have the money back (since I just had to spend it unexpectedly trying to gather all these figures up, and for more than I originally paid) and pay off series 2 later. It's just been a weird experience getting this set completed, probably the most 2020 thing to happen to my collection so far this year.

Meanwhile, Greasepit finally arrived as well Wednesday from Pulse, I'm looking forward to messing around with him later.

So guys, I a planning on getting mp-45 Bumblebee, but will I regret buying him? I like how he looks and dont really mind the backpack. I have also planned to get mp-21, but my friend had his arm joint snap off, so I am slightly worried about that. Is there any problems with mp-45 I should know before I get him?

Wrong thread to ask this, buddy. Find the Masterpiece General thread or similar threads for questions like this. The Haul Thread is all about sharing hauls you GOT. Not about what you might maybe think you may guess somewhat buy at some point or other.

Because it's not like I haven't told him twice already...
