For the N'th time, those two are NOT the same mold by a long shot.

Yeesh, take it down a notch. Regardless, I'm not interested in spending $30 on what was effectively a background character with about 10 seconds of screentime in the movie (even Cliffjumper did more than that), on top of looking extremely similar to a figure I already own.

A bit of a strange haul here. I completely forgot that I preordered SS86 HotRod from Amazon last month. I bought it last week and it's amazing, but here is an Amazon package with SS86 HotRod in it. Another one.

Oh.

I thought about returning the spare to Amazon but on second thought, maybe this happened by fate. So I'll keep the spare sealed and stored for selling or trading in the near or far future.

This exact situation almost happened to me. I saw Hot Rod on the shelf at Walmart, so I checked my bank account to see if I had the spare cash, and there was a charge from Amazon showing in the balance. I checked Amazon, and sure enough, they shipped Hot Rod that same day, like a month early.

That's one of the best Starscream toy ever. Good choice!

@Rodimus:
Want worse? Some years ago I preordered a 80$3DS game from Amazon.ca.
Then like 3 weeks later, I kinda forgot and I preordered the same game from Amazon.com.
I received both... And I didn't knew how to return things and/or I stupidly sit on it until the delay was way passed. Result? I have a spare 80$ game that can now be bought for 40$ with free shipping on Ebay.

This dude is a pair of bicep swivels away from being perfect IMO.

Amazing haul. Congrats.

You guys have some really cool toys!!

[Rodimus Prime]

Thanks to sol magnus Cheetor is finally in my possession. I know for some of you this isn't a big deal, but my Wal-Marts haven't had Netflix figures since February so I'm glad I got this. Of course he will probably show up in my store now.

[X3ROhour]

While I've been gifted a few 3rd party figures over the years, I finally bought one myself.

Well excuse me for assuming "Transformers Toy Haul Thread" applied to ALL Transformers figures.

Yup. That's the entire point.

Well technically only the official ones '-_-

(Oh and officially licensed third party stuff like Flame Toys etc)

My point exactly.
All OFFICIAL toys. Transformers Funko Pops and plushies too.

After a month plus of stalking my local Walmarts, Tuesday I finally found Netflix wave 3 at a Walmart a little further away. I passed on Cheetor, I like the more paint with the lighter blue better than I like the less paint with the better blue.

Then yesterday X-Spanse arrived. At $65 he was "no way" but at a little over $30, sure why not.

I'll get around to messing with X-Spanse (and renaming him something not stupid) this weekend.

Netflix wave 3 did not dissapoint. The blue on Deep Cover (also getting a new name soon) is just excellent. It doesn't match the blue on the Selects version for anyone thinking about trying to swap parts, but really looks good as the primary color. The more "electric" blue used on the Selects version is great as an accent color, but I wouldn't like it as the primary one. I'm also really digging the battle damage on Deep Cover, especially the scrapes going up the windshield. it looks like a car that got flipped and skid to a stop on its roof.

Rusty Barricade, who I'm naming Sparkles, is also excellent in the paint department. On top of the great paint, they also used some great base plastic colors as well. The greenish-grey used for his shoulders works especially well with the paintwork.

The Quint drone is pretty good as well. I like that they used the green paint for the faction symbol also on the tips of the missiles on his launcher. Now I just have to find 1 or 2 more. They aren't as important to me, so if I don't, no biggie. I've given my Centurion drones to the Quints as well, so they have some troops already.

Went to my local Walmart for light groceries.

Lo and behold, A MIRACLE!

YABA-DABBA-DOOOOO!

[TF-fan kev777]

Nice, get ready for some panel magic! Dino seriously has to be one of, if not the best use of panels in SS so far.

Nice! looking forward to it.

@Kanrabat, that means our Walmarts have skipped the previous wave which had Kup, Jazz and Blurr

Here is my haul. Found Netflix Wave 3 deluxes and got Cheetor along with Core Starscream and several fun Thrift store finds

[william-james88]

I just got my Cheetor too. That small tab broke off immediately and I now have a white stress mark along the cheetah head. You'll let me know if that happens to you too.

Well excuse me for assuming "Transformers Toy Haul Thread" applied to ALL Transformers figures.

It does, what you posted is not a Transformers figure, it isn't part of that brand name and that name is found nowhere on the box. It's just a transforming toy, and we have other threads for those.

I also saw one of those at Walmart this morning. Had him in my cart, walked a few feet, noticed two Masters of the Universe Origins flocked Panthors on the top shelf and Dino ended up back on the shelf.

OMG I finally found Dino! I will be posting more in the SS thread about him. Also picked up the Bumblebee figure and got the xmen guy from target for 50% off.

[Emerje]

Haven't posted any hauls this week. Last weekend Kingdom Dinobot and Inferno came in from Amazon, Wednesday Cyclonus also came in from Amazon, and today I picked up SS B-127 at Target. Just three more wave 2 figures and I'm up to date with Kingdom again.

[Rodimus Prime]

It's a custom, but it's a custom of an official figure. I got my Marvel Ratchet!
