I am enjoying it, thank you. :-D

Especially at the original price, considering the crazy eBay prices for him. As you can see, he's not freed from his plastic prison yet, even though Spinister has already rescued one of his little guys.

Glad to be of service! ;)^

That packaging is really not meant to be reused because I had no choice but to squish that plastic bubble to get the toys out. Meh, off to the recycling box that went!
I really love how Skywarp is charcoal instead of pure glossy black. This make him looked more raggued and tired from millenia of battles befaure starting FRESH in Earthrise.

Let's hope the rest of my USA orders come soon. The line between Canada and the USA seems wider than the Pacific lately. (Thank you, Corona-chan!)

Grabbed these from TF Source! I already have Lionizer, but I just needed another $6 for slightly reduced shipping so I added him. I initially had Slitherfang instead of Lionizer in this order, but his release on TF Source kept getting pushed back so I just switched him out for this guy because I REALLY wanted the Monsterbots and Athena.

Athena is GOOD. Except her headmaster. Damn pop-off happy legs.

You will love the Monsterbots. Incredible they made 3 completely different characters by just retooling the same mold. I assume you already have Twinferno?
I have mine displayed with their G1 counterpart and they look awesome together!

I seem to have gotten a good one then, because her legs don't seem to come off easy. I haven't transformed the main body yet though, still stickering her up.

I haven't opened the Monsterbots yet, I'm really looking forward to them! And yes, I have Twinferno (who will, from this point on, be called Doublecross).

That's not a haul...
There is an entire thread dedicated to photoshoots.

by **Rogue-Primal** » Sat Aug 15, 2020 5:20 am

Last i remember buying was the SIEGE Battle Patrol team (Flak and Top Shot) Unfortunately my version of Big Shot is not better than his retooled Red Heat counterpart. Both have very floppy shoulders. :BANG_HEAD:

Finally got this big boy!
He's really a great titan.
Only downside, I hoped you could plase the collar piece reversed to cover the face, so you could mimic his visor.
For the rest, no complaints, he's incredible!

Man, what a way to wake up on a Saturday, to find out Amazon already delivered.

The best part of waking up, is coneheads on your porch...

News Credits: 19 · by **blackeyedprime** » Sat Aug 15, 2020 12:23 pm

I didn't even know cone head envy was a thing until now

I've got a non transformer figure arriving this week which will compliment a Scorponok photoshot if/when it arrives. A thousand poxes upon amazon uk.

2 new bots hauled today! I got a Siege Hound and Earthrise Cliffjumper. I LOVE Cliffjumper's toy, I can't wait for BumbleBee to come out because man this guy is so good!

News Credits: 101 · by **-Kanrabat-** » Sat Aug 15, 2020 6:45 pm

Cliffy is fine, but Hound is a really awesome toy.
I've been thinking of giving him a little upgrade to make him even better. A bit expensive though.

Anyway, this here Canadian is still waiting for several packages to cross the border and land at my home. Damn Covid bull...

Stopped by my local Target on the way to work this morning and they finally got some stuff in. My new Decepticon micromasters and a couple Slitherfangs. They had a lot actually, so I'll probably go back soon and get some more Slitherfangs for road building.

Guys I have a warning for siege hound. I had bought him yesterday, and today his head snapped off. I was able to superglue it back on, but be careful and don't touch/pose the head!

Maybe you did something wrong, or you were just unlucky.
Beside, that post should have gone in the Siege thread.

Well I did not want to get this from a scalper, but I have not been able to preorder or order it. So I bit the bullet and played $35 for it. I am glad to have it now, but I now need a doubledealer!

You "bit the bullet at 35$US"?
That bullet must have been quite small. I had to pay 50$CAN plus shipping for it... Well, I just paid a few $ more but still. We should consider ourselves "lucky". This set is much more expensive now online.

If only I'd have preordered the set from Age 3 and Up at the normal 30$CAN instead of telling myself "meh, Toys R Us will have them". :HEADHURTS:

The Conehead 2-pack came in today...
The rest isn't new, but still isn't opened. Especially Cliffjumper since I don't know if he's a keeper yet... If I can find Smokecreen or even a couple other deluxes in the next couple months at Target, there's a good chance I'll exchange him for someone else.

I'm thinking I will keep Hotlink, but still not 100%.

News Credits: 1642 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Mon Aug 17, 2020 12:39 pm

Very important haul came in today.

First up, got my 3rd Beast Machines Maximal. Night Viper is pretty slick!

second, got the gun for my Railspike, meaning that my Rail Racer is only missing the missiles from Midnight and Rapid Run!

Finally, and probably most importantly, after almost 7 years, i have finally completed my Thrilling 30 Metroplex!!!!!!

News Credits: 101 · by **-Kanrabat-** » Mon Aug 17, 2020 6:42 pm

First, my thanks to Rodimus Prime for once again helping me out with figures I could not get locally. Netflix Siege Chromia and Mirage! And for only 10$CAN more total (shipping, exchange rate) than if I'd bought them locally, it's pretty damn amazing!

Thanks again, Rodimus! When opportunity arises, I'll return the favor once again! ;)^

I also got a box from BBTS. Thank to the Covid bull, the delivery was slow, but at least I was spared customs. It's an order from both my friend and me. Me, I got a sweet clear trailer for my Classic Platinum Optimus. My friend got 4 PotP Wreck Garr for a special custom combiner I'm making him. Stay tuned for the Customs thread for the full reveal this weekend!

News Credits: 1642 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Mon Aug 17, 2020 7:24 pm

Found this at Ross for $13 this evening. I got my Inferno for the shelf! Now I have 1 combined for Infernocus and 1 for the Lost Light shelf.

News Credits: 1642 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Tue Aug 18, 2020 12:47 pm

Smashdown #7 arrived, as did my Cybertron Jetfire missile. Only need the launcher to arrive and Cybertron Jetfire will be complete!

need to figure out who to partner this Smashdown with. Impactor, BC Prime, Galaxy Prime, Swerve, and 2 Sideswipe already have one each, and one is standing in robot mode on the Wreckers shelf. hmm

UPS just dropped off my Coneheads and my Cloneheads (i.e. Target Decepticon Clones). Ordered the Clones on Target.com when it became pretty obvious that my local Target is never going to get the Clones in some restock since they never stocked them in the first place and didn't even put tags on the endcap for them (certainly wont be seeing them on clearance).

And of course the Coneheads came from Amazon, a day early (though days after others first started getting them), it only just shipped yesterday so, uh, thanks Prime!

They have a release window for Scorponok of September 1st - 4th. A strange delay, but frankly I don't have the room for him at the minute. Besides, Metroplex is still in the box.
