It's horrible.....y awesome. So much so that it makes me buy more things. Which is horrible.

Yes it is but I didn't notice it until you mentioned it.

It's always good times when you ship your pile of loot.

This.

It's like Christmas came early.

What does that mean there's nothing on Teradive that a child can choke on? Do me a favor, find a kid and try to shove Teradive in its mouth and tell me what happens.

And it's TERRIBLE times in between, when you're waiting for the damn thing to get through Canada Customs.

And don't forget playing the duty taxes lottery. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

I think I mostly lose. Probably because all my PoLs are $200+. I never have to pay with smaller eBay items.

OH! Haul for once:

HFTD Breacher
HFTD Tomahawk

I'm not pleased with the paint apps on these guys. They're both pretty sloppy. Breacher's missing part of his Autobot symbol, and there's a big smear missing on one of the black paint apps on Tomahawk's leg, which I of course didn't notice when it was in the package. I even checked the damn thing and thought I got the best one. Must be karma for finding WFC Soundwave early down in Bellingham.

Otherwise, pretty freakin' awesome figures.

Breacher's joints are TIGHT though, people who said that were not exaggerating. I think they'll loosen a bit with time though. That white plastic actually seems pretty soft, which could be a bad thing. Also, insane transformation for a Scout. You wouldn't know it by looking at him, but he is complex. Moreso than some deluxes.

Tomahawk is cool too, but his visor sticks out funny, and he's just not as exciting because there's no G1 homage, I guess. I appreciate a good helicopter mold though. They did a good job with this guy.

I'm kind of worried about this new clip system. I fear the clips are going to weaken with use, and then none of the weapons will stay on. Time will tell, I suppose.

They will, no doubt about it, probably sooner than later. I find it funny that Hasbro decided to not advertise the gimmick, which is new and could generate cross-sales, but are marketing a whole line around rub symbols.

G1 Commemorative Series Hoist

[Galvatron X]

HFTD Breacher
Generations Soundwave
HFTD Highbrow

Breacher's a cool little fig. Great proportions in robot mode. I haven't transformed him yet, though.

I found Highbrow (and blue Fallen) at K-Mart and nowhere else. THAT was unexpected...

EDIT: I found it odd that Breacher comes with "two-way" instructions. Robot-->Alt Mode on one side of the sheet, and Alt Mode--> Robot on the other side. This is first TF I've opened recently that has this. Is this unusual?

Not anymore, it seems. All of the recent Generations figures have this. Personally, I like it.

Yeah, good point! Seems weird that they're not promoting it at all. I mean... it's pretty cool, and it sort of makes me want figures I skipped like Ironhide. Another missed opportunity for Hasbro, a la Powercore Combiners.

SURPRISE HAUL!

Generations Blurr! He is awesome and I love him to bits. If you only get one version of this mold, get this one. Drift is great, as are big swords, but the blue just looks so much nicer than the drab white. Blurr is lovely. His guns are awesome. His colors are awesome. Even his head is awesome. Got lucky with the paint apps on this guy too. Word to the wise: If you see what looks like dark-colored scuffs on the light blue paint, chances are they will rub off with only a finger. I thought I got a bad one but it turned out not so. After removing the scuffs they're only visible from extremely close up. Looks like my good karma was being saved for the line that really matters.

Do you know about the clip that holds his rifle? It's on a hinge that allows you to adjust it's position so as to not interfere with posing. Same thing with Drift.

Yep, I've been following this mold closely since the very first images, so it got covered along the way. Thanks for the heads-up though!

Toys R Us is advertising 50% off Human Alliance figures and buy 1 get *2* free Legends class figures. And that's great because the only Legend class figure I have is Ravage. So I may be getting a "small" load of new toys after work :]
