HFTD Sidearm Sideswipe and Hailstorm. All 4 Swipes had paint defects on the hood, some worse than others, so watch for them.

Got PCC Bombshock with Combaticons for my B-day. Love them (they're my first PCCs). Probably will get more with b-day money.

I recommend the 2-packs and Mudslinger. Skyburst has some issues, but his drones look great on searchlight.

Doubleclutch is a plague to be avoided at all costs.

I'm jealous. Everyone around here is still stocking Wave 1.

Luckily for me they have no idea how to identify or price Transformers. I've got some ridiculously good deals there. I picked up a G1 Bristleback there about six months ago that was only missing his hand gun and had no GPS for $1.99! When I found Quickswitch today he was in a $2.99 bin with a bunch of other loose TF's then I found both his guns and his instructions in the $1.00 bin. I just put the whole package together and still only charged my $2.99.

Dude, no fair. There's a shop I go to to buy vintage figures, but the dude knows his stuff. luckily, I know the guy well, so I can get better deals than if you just walked in to buy something.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I've gathered from reading various threads, etc. I like the look of Icepick from wave 2.

TF:A Rodimus Minor and WFC Optimus Prime.

The backpack for Energon Quickstrike arrived to replace the one that broke during my house move.

Waiting to PCC wave 2 figs to arrive at BBTS so I can ship my Pile of Loot and then I'll have an extremely epic haul.

Generations Thrust at long last! Now I just need some wave 2 figures to hit Panama City...

by **Cobalt Prime** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 9:20 pm

Just picked up TFA Rodimus and Ironhide at TRU. Bring on Thundercracker and Blackout now!

I'd love to say I got anything from wave 2 of PCC, Generations, or HFTD, but alas they do not seem to have graced this crap hole known as Michigan yet. :-x

Not sure I mentioned this but thanks to a great deal I got the Shout! Factory G1 box set. Is there a thread up to discuss it since there are some things I'd like to discuss?

What area? I'm in Oakland County and my Meijers have been clogged with wave one PCC (those that even have them yet) as well as scads of Sea Ravages, Jetblades, and DX Ironhides. I'm starting to get that traumatized feeling I had during the Power Rangers RPM wave 2 debacle where EVERY hunt turned out to be a bust day after day after day....

Picked up Hailstorm the other day and man! a very small deluxe figure and i had high hopes for this guy. I mean he's cool but at the sametime not, so im not sure if i wanna keep him.

New plastic for the day....and I got my TFCC Punch Counterpunch but he is wrapped in so much bubblewrap its ludicrous.

by **Cobalt Prime** » Tue Sep 28, 2010 2:18 pm

Feeling a little better now.

Got Breacher and Insecticon at Target, and Elita-1, Hailstorm, and Sidearm Swipe at K-Mart of all places. Will wonders never cease?

Is it just me or does it look like the way Dirge is packaged the twine has split him in half? I hope not.

by **666-SHOT** » Tue Sep 28, 2010 4:24 pm

Nahh lol. I opened him up already. He is fine. Just probably came loose in his long journey across the world to my doorstep lol.
