Welcome to the site!

I had no idea who it was when I found it, all I knew was it was an autobot with a rubsign.

Just found an Arcee at Toys R Us. One amongst 12 cybertron Ratchets.

Recently found a G1 Grimlock in the bottom of an old forgotten toy chest that was buried under tons of junk and clothes in an old building near my in-laws that was used for storage. Took me almost 2 hours just to get to it. It was in amazing condition considering it was buried and forgotten for at least 20 years. He's now standing proudly beside my Masterpiece Grimlock.

Just found Gen-line Drift and Thrust at a local Kohls near by me the other day, but Thrust had a missing part and assemble with two left hands!! I had to return him, i couldn't bear to look at him with two left hands. Drift = badass and perfection!!!

Also, I get Punch/Counterpunch this week as well, cant wait!!

HA Jazz: fantastic. One of the best HA figures, if not the best.

DLX Darkmount: pretty cool, not a fan of the little clip-on weapons though

DLX Arcee redeco: much tighter and better looking than the original, I will probably swap some of the clear parts with the original though

DLX Hailstorm: cool robot mode, okay transformation, meh tank mode (doesn't seem to lock together well)

Animated Rodimus: Animated at its best, once again

Scout Breacher: pretty complex for a Scout, makes for some thin/flimsy parts though. Shoulder ball joints flex way more than they should, be careful to not break them.

here's one for ya

Why... Where... What... How...

Man, how did you get those so soon? Are these the parts that came out of the first production run but weren't QC approved by FP? Anyhow, nice haul!

[kirbenvost]

I could stare at that all day.

My sister gave her kid a Seaspray, so technically not my toy haul, but he looks to me for everything related to Transformers, and I some times join him when he plays with the robots.
Seaspray is a fantastic figure, in every possible way. I'm very impressed.

[Cobalt Prime]

Got Generations Thrust and Drift at TRU in Pontiac, MI today.
I'm tickled pink to finally have a rendition of this mold, and such a nice looking one to boot with his chrome cockpit. I can almost hear him screaming "your insolence is disturbing!" like in the G1 toon.

Drift is one heck of a nice figure. I love the solid, well articulated feel of the figure, as well as the Gundam-esque styling all the way around. One of my favorites. Only downside is that the large sword is made of Bandai-Putty, and is already succumbing to gravity, but otherwise an awesome bot!

Decided to play Henkei catch up, so i got Henkei Skyfire and Ironhide...

[Hal7300]

Picked up Generations Drift and Thrust today.

Quality pretty good, bodes well for future releases.

I had to laugh when I came come last Friday and found this on my doorstep:



Must have been 200+ stamps on the package: some of which didn't even survive transport. I wonder if someone was actually counting the value of these stamps. What I do know is that every one of these stamps was in fact postmarked, I kid you not!!!

Anyhow, the contents of the package also made me very happy: MIB Victory Star Saber (in first edition box,) complete and clean as a whistle! Only thing missing are instructions!



And I also picked up the Headmasters knock offs set from the postoffice today... Man, are they ever sweet! Excellent quality, and very crisp molds. If this means that some day (soon) we can also expect knock off Japanese Dino-cassettes, I'd be over all over them in a heartbeat.

Henkei Hound on Tuesday
WfC Starscream yesterday

[Midnight_Fox]

WFC Optimus Prime

[kirbenvost]

Oh man. Wow, that Star Saber makes me drool.

[ionacus]

mmmmmm minty star saber... good haul alldarker.


hftd seaspray full of win and he went up on my classics/universe shelve.

[Hip-Hoptimus Rime]

got a loose complete Human Alliance Mudflap, yay! He's really cool, like him a lot. This completes the current;y-available HA line fo rme, still waiting for Jazz to pop in local retail. Modded Flap's left hand to separate the fingers, elbows to let them bend further, and back kibble to collapse tighter- all teh same mods I made to Skids.

Also picked up the last 2 RPMs I was missing, Rollbar and Starscream. Rollbar looks a lot like Deluxe Brawn, but light blue and gray. Starscream is actually pretty cool, a nice little jet mode, if a bit chunky. This completes the RPM line for me, not counting the repaints (I think Sideways is the only repaint) and variants (IIRC skids and Mudflap have versions with and without Autobot symbols). Now I need more TF stickers for the Hot Wheels case they live in.

Picked up WFC Prime, Drift and Thrust, along with the KMart minicon 10 pack on clearance for 9 bucks. Less than $1 per minicon!
