The other night my friend came over for our traditional anime watching festival and she brought a gift for my birthday. Upon tearing away the layers of Japanese newspaper that she had wrapped it with, I was delighted to discover a brand spankin' new Alternity Optimus Prime (red version)! Wow! This is my first Alternity figure ever, and has a place of honor on my shelf. Thank you Misa-Misa!

i would put a ring on that girl real quick.(god, shoot me for making a beyonce referance)she is a keeper.

Yeah, but my wife would likely object. It was hard enough to convince her that it is in fact possible to have a female friend without anything untoward going on!

ROTF Voyager Starscream
ROTF Voyager Long Haul
ROTF Deluxe Brawn
ROTF Deluxe Thrust
ROTF Scout Skystalker
HFTD Scout Hubcap
HFTD Scout Breacher

With 50% discount price for all of them(!), except for Hubcap and Breacher

Actually, I almost got a "private discount" for Breacher as well, but the store employee asked me to pay the money in cash and straight to him, instead of paying at the cashier, which I found to be a bit weird, and it sounds illegal (I don't even know how that would give him profit in any way) so I politely decline the offer and pay at the cashier instead...

[kirbenvost]

^ Yeah, that's a little bit skeevy. Sometimes small stores ask for cash so they don't have to report it for taxes and they make more profit that way. But yeah, illegal. And they normally still take it at the register.

Didn't see that coming!

[ionacus]

i try. coming out of left field with a kick to the nuts and a "bought your mom for a nickel joke" is a bit of a specility of mine.



anyway... not a toy but, 4 packs of snowflake ornaments for making tf xmas ornaments out of RH figures.

[mattyc1007]

Hunt for the Decepticons Hailstorm Really, really nice figure

[Cobalt Prime]

HFTD Voyager Fallen, Gen Dirge and Blurr. A complete set of coneheads now, Huzzah!

[Tytus]

Stopped by my local TRU today and after digging through the Scouts I found a HFTD Firetrap. I hope some poor little kid wasn't saving that for later He's mine now.

[kirbenvost]

Got my Wingblade OP Add-on kit the other day, and I'm happy to report it's the real deal.

[WarGraver]

My Powered Commander trailer just arrived. It looks pretty awesome. I wasn't entirely sure how the weight/size/texture would be, but am quite happy. Unfortunately, my Classics Optimus is still in transit.

[Kohdok]

Been a while since I updated. Obtained a decently-sized Junker lot. Only the Energon Starscream and maybe RID prowl are anything to scream about...

RID Prowl minus weapons and left leg.
Movie Starscream first release, no missiles, fins, or lower legs.
Movie Starscream silver release, same problems as above *grumble*
Energon Starscream G1 redeco minus sword, one missile and for some reason the front of both feet.
Energon Ironhide first release minus entire top piece and right lower arm.
G1 Astrotrain, minus weapons and in a pretty bad way. I had to tighten a pin for one of the side flaps.

And for my recent thrift store purchase, ROTF Wheelie complete (Why I bothered is anybody's guess...)

[Crystalboy]

Complete G1 Punch/Counterpunch
Complete G1 Darkwing
Complete G1 Slag
G1 AM Krok, missing gun.
G1 AM Snarl, missing gun.

HftD Highbrow and "Give me your face" Fallen.

I'm actually digging the Boo-berry colors on the Fallen and the staff and new head sculpt make a world of difference, IMO. Highbrow is just awesome.

[It Is Him]

I <3 Boo Berry Fallen.

[kirbenvost]

Man, Boo Berry cereal is GROSS...as is Boo Berry Fallen.

[It Is Him]

Man, Boo Berry cereal is GROSS...as is Boo Berry Fallen.

No way! Blasphemy! I love Boo Berry. As a matter of fact, I was just eating Boo Berry this morning.

me too!!!

i still have 2 whole boxes left.

[3.8TransAM]

WFC/Generations is a win.

Red Alert, Blurr, Dirge, Soundwave, Megatron in one shot.

Now hunting the rumored sightings of next waves

[Kohdok]

Bought a RID Sideburn in, and I quote: "Poor condition" from eBay. If by "Poor condition" he meant "Perfect condition except missing a tire", which is what I got, I wonder what his standards are for "Good condition"... I got lucky this time, only seven bucks including shipping!

[WarGraver]

My Classics Optimus arrived today. It met all my expectations. Some of the joints were stiff to the point that I was worried about breaking them, but better that than the other end of the spectrum.

Anyway, after transforming it a couple times, I attached the FP powered commander trailer. The size increase to Prime is more than I expected, but that is not a complaint. There is now no doubt that I will pick up the FP Protector. I completely love and recommend everyone get Powered Convoy... Diacron... Optimus-Ra... whatever I decide to call this cool toy.

Groady. It's like pure sugar. No wonder they don't sell the stuff in Canada. I don't think it counts as legitimate food.

[SN95 Cobra R]

I went to a toy and collectible show today expecting to see TF galore. I was disappointed. A few really high priced sellers had some Altinators, the USB hub Blaster, some complete (or so they thought)G2's. Very sparse selection.

I came away with a nice kickback with box and gun for 20. Ebayish price but he was in such good condition I said what the heck.

I wanted to go back for the G1 prime with box, missing hands and roller for $20.

[Optimum Supreme]

Finally found a WFC Megatron, and also happened upon Banzai Tron. I missed Bludgeon when he came out, so while I really would've preferred that one (g1 Bludgeon was one of the last g1's I got) I'd still much rather have him than miss out on the mold completely.

Now if only I could find some friggin Dirge and Blurrs. I am so sick of digging through piles and piles of WFC Prime and BB looking for them!

If you have any Boscov's stores near where you live, I've found that many of them still have a bunch of Bludgeons and Recon Ironhides still on the shelves.

Thanks, but never even heard of that chain! But today I was out looking for Blur and Dirge again (no luck ) and at the very same TRU I just bought Banzi-Tron at, I found a Bludgeon! Of course, now when I finally do find Blur and/or Dirge, I won't have money to buy them. Ah, well, I just have to hope and find some after I get birthday and Christmas funds coming in.
