Finally found PCC Heavytread. Now I just need Undertow and the Constructicons... Although I'm doubting whether I want to keep my PCCs in general.

Picked a HA Leadfoot and he's easily the crappiest TF I have bought in years. If I wasn't going completist with the large Human Alliance figures, I'd be flipping him right now. Nothing truly pegs in anywhere except his crotch. I'd suggest avoiding this guy.

I picked up a G1 Topspin (with gun) in an antique mall a few weeks ago and an Ultimate class Bumblebee (2007) at a flee market today.

Both were $8. Topspin has some sticker wear and is missing one sticker all together and Bee is fully functioning, only missing a missile and the two panels directly behind the front wheel, which you don't really see in robot mode anyway.)

Picked up the Target exclusive Human Alliance Leadfoot a couple days ago. Definitely a figure who needs a lot of fiddling to get into a configuration one can be happy with. Especially the doors which don't want to fold up as high as I know they can, so its a bit frustrating. Overall I'm satisfied, but still waiting for the deluxe version.

Picked up an Energon Unicron off craigslist today...I was about to pull the trigger on the amazon version, but my craigslist pal came through and saved me an insane amount of money!! He's 100% complete too.

I also picked up generations Scourge, as well.

Today was a good day.

I got Cyberfire BB. He has one awesome deco. This was also my first experience with the mold and it is very nice.

Finally got myself a Sonokong Micron Legend Shock Wave. He's a pretty piece of toy. Little disappointing that his box was smashed and wet because of no packing and a very thin cardboard box. He also had a nick out of his paint in a very noticeable location. Still, I'm glad to finally have him.

The box was literally wet? That sucks.

Yeah but it's been very soggy in Florida this summer. Practically everywhere, really. I understand it. I don't like it though. I really would have liked to keep the box but I had to destroy it getting the figure out. In the end, I got the toy and it's cool. The rest I can deal with.

I've noticed a couple Walmarts have been putting Generations stuff on clearance, picked up Wheeljack and Warpath for $5 bucks each, I couldn't believe it.

Started out as a normal grocery run, took a little detour to the local toy store, came out with a clearance toy:

HftD Terradive

Unlike the Canada/Latin America imports from last time, this shipment is strictly US! Which means the Dutch shelves will again be flooded with Battle Blade Bumblebee, Ironhide, and the like. On the bright side, Terradive was never sighted in my area, so his casemate Tomahawk should be close.

FYI, I Adore jets and helicopters.

Got really lucky visiting TRU. There was an MP Rodimus there on final sale for 20 bucks because his leg and arm were broken.

BUT...

His targetmaster was there and intact!

Did you need the targetmaster?

I had the Takara MP Rodimus so I didn't want to spend a large amount just for the targetmaster. If anyone wants a MP Rodimus figure with a broken arm and a leg, lemme know.

Ah, I see. You could always keep it to display in vehicle mode!

cyberverse roadbuster

Website · by **Flux Convoy** » Fri Sep 09, 2011 5:00 pm

Picked up Cyberverse Autobot Guzzle last night. He was just hanging out on the front of the peg like it was meant to be. I'd been looking for this guy pretty regularly. Out of him, Powerglide (I dig the update.) and Hatchet(I hate this piece of crap.), I like him best. He's a fairly decent figure with some decent articulation despite his size. His head even turns slightly. I'm pretty impressed with the little guy. I could possibly live with him in with my Classics but he's a desk toy for the time being. If you're overly picky about keeping movie and Classics separate (like I normally am) he probably won't work for ya.

Oh and Delicon hooked me up with MP Rodimus Prime who I've yet to crack open. Thanks buddy! Funny side note, I have a friend who works at TRU who let me know they got in 8 today. The same day this arrives lol.

Nice to hear you got a Rodimus! Great figure, should be in everyone's collection.

I personally like Hatchet.

Thanks! I was really excited to get Hatchet and I opened him, transformed him, changed him back and set him down. I felt extremely disappointed with him and I went in thinking he'd be decent at least. I simply did not like any part of him. I take that back, I dig the sort of bull ring in his "nose". That detail was cool but completely washed out by his bland gold face. Gold, black and silver just seemed overly boring for this guy. Not my favorite color combo to begin with. I'm not sure what I expected differently since his deco is completely visible in package, I suppose that's my bad. In hand he just didn't do it for me.

Ah, I see. I'm a fan of the color scheme myself. Black & gold always seems to catch my eye. I think it's a pretty unique idea too, a plane turning into a Cybertronian beast. At least they don't have a lot of similar concepts these days.

Recently purchased G1 Long Haul. Just the figure, no guns or accessories. Same seller I got G1 Scavenger from. He'll be arriving at my house on Monday. I picked him up on Amazon for 9 bucks.

I recently purchased a unique bundle if you will on ebay. I bought KO WST Devy, 3rd Party Blaster, and WST Hot Rod all for under $50. What I wanted most was Hot Rod and though Devy looks crappy it was all worth it just to get Roddy. I wasn't sure how much bigger or smaller he was compared to Star Convoy Roddy but still very cool...'nuff said! :VEHI:

News Credits: 11 · by **kirbenvost** » Sat Sep 10, 2011 5:32 pm

Wow, that's a great deal! WST Hot Rod is great. Too bad mine has two left exhuasts. I still don't have the WST Blaster...
