$30 on eBay:

Bought him to replace my busted up old one, this one's in great shape! A little bit of sticker wear but they're still in good enough shape I don't think I'll need to get reprolabels... besides, it adds character. The most important thing is, no floppy joints!

Last night I received a shipping notice from HasbroToyShop.com that the Stealth Bumblebee I ordered has shipped.
This morning BigBadToyStore sent me an "order processed" email for my Henkei Astrotrain

Got me some comics:
- Infiltration #6 Cover B
- image GI Joe vs The Transformers V1 #5

Hit my local Target store and found Premium Blackout and Ironhide. They also had a Salvage on the shelf and when I checked the scanner it read more deluxes in the back. I asked a stock worker and they pulled out a Stealth BB, Premium Barricade, and Premium Jazz. All three at the $6.99 price! Needless to say I bought all but the Salvage.

I thought for sure that Target's would not put out new stock, since they were trying to sell down the old movie stuff, but I guess they're getting stuff in.

Picked up a Robot Replica Frenzy, just to get some new toy buzz up ahead of Walmart Screamer and Coronation gear landing (with any luck) next week.

So I'm outta town to visit my parents with the baby boy,
and we stopped into one of their local Targets.
Picked up

Premium Jazz
and then these which I hadn't planned on:

A 2nd Dropkick
Premium Barricade
Stealth BB
Salvage

Since they were each $6.99, I figured, why not?

I'm starting to lose hope that I'll ever find Scouts Clocker or Hardtop...

Last time I was at Ages Three And Up's retail store they had both of those figures. Canadian prices are kind of inflated compared to the US though.

Today I got the Free Comic Book Day Animated issue. Not terribly interesting, but hey, it's free.

Not to bad.

Got the Animated Battle Begins 2 pack from TRU Leeds today. Pretty solid toys aside from the battle damage, which I'll be looking to remove or paint over as applicable (some of it's over already painted sections on both toys). I'm even more stoked for the rest of this line now that I've got these guys in hand. It's going to be a very expensive year.

Went to the swap meet early this morning and picked up:

Star Wars Transformer Obi-Wan Kenobi (Incomplete) $3
Oversized Legends Gestalt Earth Patron Saint KO $10 (This thing is bigger than a G1 Metroplex)

If that picture is of the gestalt, it looks like the limbs are KOs of Cybertron Vector Prime and Starscream. That's what they look like anyway.

Anyway...my toy hall this month is probably going to be limited to the Premium Barricade. Almost like Premium version better than the normal deluxe version.

Yes, yr right! It's some sort of hybrid ko. The head and torso piece are remolded Sixbuilder parts. This thing is really fragile!

Picked up Salvage finally. With that I have all the movie figures that I want--until TF2 figures of course :grin:

My local Target has the 6.99 movie Deluxes, but no Salvage or Stealth BB yet- I'll prob. get both if I see them.

I won an eBay lot of G1 Ultra Magnus: plastic-wheel cab, both launchers w/ short missiles, both large fists, and the cab connector. The cab is in very nice shape, w/ good chrome- I put it all on my poor worn-out original G1 Prime, now he's stylin'! Cheapy UM cab got the worn chrome, so at least it's still complete. I'll prob. sell the fists and cab connector since I already have them.

I went to TRU today hoping to pickup Wingblade and/or Jetstorm. Turned out there were TWO premium Megs there for the taking, so I grabbed one! Kickass! Finally have a Megs to add to my collection!

Yesterday I went into Forbidden Planet and picked up a Robot Masters Wingstun. Woolworths just had Voyagers Ratchet and Blackout, plus a hundred Robot Replicas and Legends Megatrons.
There was a load of Star Wars Transformers in FP, along with Classics (tank) Megatron and Classics Cliffjumper, and G1 Bumblebee, Megatron and Cliffjumper busts.

Thanks for the heads-up!! That may still be better than ebay.

Came back in town yesterday evening, and my 2nd Deluxe Brawl, and 2nd Premium Leader Megatron were waiting on the doorstep.
