Oh man, that IS a great haul! Congrats on all fronts.

I finally opened my WFC Prime & Bee, and other than Primje's legs being a little loose, they are both awesome. Although, Bee had a cracked hinge right out of the package. What's with QC these days? I actually didn't have as much trouble with Bee as people were complaining about, I figured him out with instructions. Can't wait for more of these. Heh, I just realized Primes feet can slide backwards a little for more stability in bot mode. I also like the weapon storage. Cool.

Oh yeah, picked up HFTD Legends Sandstorm. I was debating, but then I saw the paint apps are different than Beachcomber, so I figured I might has well. Fits the character pretty well anyway.

walmart had some on the shelf for $11 on clearence wow someone didnt clear out the stock room for 4 years or is there a ressiue of this

There is a Dollar General/ Big Lots reissue that doesn't have the DVD. Somehow you got the genuine original, and that's awesome! I remember picking that up YEARS ago and thinking that the G2 Megatron was the coolest thing ever.

Too bad Prime likes to fall apart at the waist

Is it sealed?

by **Soulgem** » Thu Sep 09, 2010 9:41 am

It is not sealed.. I knew that when I picked him up, but I'm literally having a hard time breathing, he's so damn flawless! Nothing seems to ever have been removed from the styrofoam, and he's perfect white. I'm not sure what has happened... That's one grail found, now to keep him like this... Or open him? :-?

He doesn't come with the Macross stickers does he?

by **Soulgem** » Thu Sep 09, 2010 11:00 am

It's sadly not the Macross version. I'm a huge Macross fan. But the price was too good for me to pass.

Open it.

It'll look awesome on display. While mine isn't minty fresh, it's 99% complete, bright-white and looks good with a set of reprolabels. If your labels are unapplied, perhaps consider using reprolabels to preserve its future value?

If you are gonna display it, keep him out of the sunlight and do not use any fluorescent bulbs for your display case. Those two are the major contributors of UV radiation which cause yellowing. To illustrate, my Kiss Players Cassettes were show models, and displayed in a case with a TL-tube at the top. Result: Rosanna's shoulders and the top of Glit is a slight yellow color.

Scored a Universe Smokescreen from HTS. Definitely a treat to still find one of these figures at a regular price (I've been collecting Classics retroactively, so, needless to say, there be extra emphasis on 'treat,' lol)

Good advice for sure. Sadly a couple of my figures have succumbed as well.

Thanks to your post I too got the Smokescreen I needed. Shame no Ironhide or Ratchet. To justify the shipping I also ordered side arm Sideswipe. Am I the only one a touch disappointed they couldn't work the swords in as well?

Picked up (literally) HFTD Leader Optimus Prime from the boss his-self, Seibertron. Thanks bro, he's great. I missed out on that Walmart sale when he was $30, and that's what I got him for. *tents fingers* Excellent.
