Yesterday my Cybertron Swindle and Universe Blastcharge showed up!!

by **Lockdown72** » Fri May 23, 2008 2:29 pm

One of my best friends (and Transfan-in-training) surprised me this morning when he gave me two mini-cons he picked up at a flea market, saying he knew I liked mini-cons and I'm always on the hunt for 'em*. The two mini-cons were an almost mint Dualor (Destruction team leader) and Payload (Cybertron redeco of Ransack with silver decepticon symbol on top of minicon symbol). I later found out that Dualor's mold was used for the Autobot mini-con that came with Payload.

*I want an example of every mini-con mold in my collection (redecos and retools are allowed only if I don't have an example of the original minicon base figure. The Skyboom shield mini-con Mirage, considered a Swindle retool in my eyes, is an exception since Mirage is needed for the Skyboom shield. Exclusive minicons are also excluded due to rarity, which I value over individuality)

The HoC figures were the US versions of the SCF figures that came out in Japan between 2000 and 2003. Main differences are that the the HoCs had light piping eyes while the SCFs had solid heads, the SCFs came blind boxed (hence the many chase figures) and that there were a lot more characters done for SCF (the only US releases that the Japanese didn't get were the Botcon Seekers).

Movie Incinerator is transformer #57 in my collection :mrgreen:

(I'm just starting to collect them again, although I never had very many at all. :oops:

) I also got Salvage for a friend as an 'agreed payment' for a 100% complete Armada Jetfire and several mini-cons he gave me several weeks ago (He would aim to get every transformer ever if he could, he's already gotten most of the main Movie figs)

I find the Target exclusive scouts just plain garbage personaly, as they are just repainted Omnicons from Energon and some other low-cost molds from Cybertron. Except Clocker, whom I want but can't find :roll:

Dude, those are so rip off prices. Deluxe, Voyager, and Leader classes are still $10, $20, and $40 in most stores and even Hasbro's website!
