I'm not complaining, the value is fair. It's just ultra random.

That is totally random. Still a great mold with a premium deco. If your defective leader was bought on sale, you got yourself a deal here.

you'd have thought theyd have learnt and just sent you a mesage asking you kindly not to break your toys by now XD

He look awesome in both modes but that weird transformation was not easy to figure out. Also, what's up with his detachable arms?
Then from eBay, the Platinum Grimlock VS Bruticus set, bought for below 100$can plus shipping! This may be my 4th version of this Grimlock mold. Despite the shiny chrome, he look quite bland. As for FOC Bruticus, he's as horrible as I remember (having owned and sold the G2 version years ago). But at least I finally have him in the RIGHT colors so his cheapness is forgiven.

I am still bummed the scrap one I found and customized didn't have his cleaver. 4 releases of that sword and I still don't have it.

I would gladly have taken that Prime. I'm surprised they still have him somewhere

That's what I'm doing as well, except I haven't even opened mine. Kinda want to open them all at once. I got mine on Sunday, which was a surprise considering it was a holiday weekend. I guess it was Fedex's way of making it up to me for screwing up my delivery of Baldigus. I had to call their customer service to track it down because the package was misplaced. But finally, I now have 1 of my last few remaining grails:Starseeker wrote:Got two more Seacons in from Hasbro Pulse.

Yeah he looks great in reviews and photos. I can't wait to put him together this weekend. He'll be displayed with CR Black Convoy going against my custom Omega Prime and Super Sideburn. I wish all the combined sets came with these feet and hands instead of HFGs.TF-fan kev777 wrote:Congrats on Baldigus, Rodimus Prime, it is a quality set. I love all the extra firepower.

Speaking of Bucket List items, I guess the good thing about purchasing fewer new minaline items is that it has given me more time to focus on the super rare items I want. I have 2 items that are currently being customized for me. Once I get those, I'll then only have 4 items left on my bucket list, with 12 items on pre-order all coming in the latter half of 2021.

By moral principle, I'm pissed but in reality I don't care because the box go straight to the recycling bin.
Dinobot have the best bot mode ever. But the raptor look like it was savagely gutted by some beast. So far, he's the weakest link in my Kingdom Beast collection. I didn't expected that.

As for today, I went TF hunting with my friend at the flea market and other places. Flea markets are weird. You have those rare sellers who know the "true value" of transformers. Then there's those who overestimate their garbage (50$CAN for a scrap BW Optimus Primal LOL). The ones you really want to find are those sellers who have nice stuff and who just don't give a fox.
So I found that seller who had a PCC Bombshock and a Classic Optimus Prime. Both in perfect condition but missing all accessories. How much? How about 2$CAN for Bombshock and 3$CAN for Optimus sound?
To finish the hunt, we went to other places and I finally found something at E.B Games with Select "G2" Megatron. 36$CAN plus taxes with my Edge Platinum membership was as low as I'll ever get for him so I went for it.

That Megatron is super nice! I added a

Today was a good day!

If I cared for his other iterations, I'd buy all 8 or 9 of him. As it is, I own G2, the 35th anniversary, and the soon-to-be-released spoiler box version. That will be enough.
I have the first voyager Netflix, the G2 select, and soon, the Shattered Glass if everything goes well. Those are the most significant for me.
The vanilla ones are too plain and the first Select mean nothing to me. TlDr; 3 is enough for me too.
That is, unless they release the IDW gladiator/mine worker Megatron. Then he would be my 4th.

I completed the normal colours of the Autobot brothers, this time last year. Still need the rest of the Build Team mind

Coming from the post office, I unpacked him and transformed him. Robot was perfect. Now the torso mode. Once the legs were locked in torso mode, I tried to revert him back to bot mode.
The right leg shattered.
The left leg shattered.
THE WHOLE FAUX-KING THING SHATTERED ON THE SIDEWALK.

Forget it. The pieces shattered like glass. They are also scattered to the four winds. Sigh. I'll pretend I lost 44$xan at the slots.
To feel better I just unloaded a bunch of unwanted figures at my local geek store and I got some pretty interesting stuff.
I'll get into the details tomorrow when I'll be less tired.
