Got my end of a trade today.

ROTF LEADER CLASS MEGATRON!
Unbroken and 100% complete with box.



When I first started collecting, I saw a huge pyramid of them for sale at my local Walmart at 50$. I passed.
I also passed on Ebay all the time.
Then, DotM happen. No leader Megs for DotM. Suddenly, ROTF Leader Megs is 200$.
Lol fawking nope.

Luckily, I found a sale list on a French forum and a fellow Québécois hade one for sale or trade. So, whe did and here it is! Megs is more awesome in person that he is in photo. His only fault is he dont have a elbow joint on his cannon arm.

I hope my trade partner will enjoy his Masterpiece Starscream (1st version, G1 colors) even with his broken wing.
I got that Screamer for around 45$ shipped a few months back with a plan to use the parts for some customs. I'm really glad I didnt dare destroyed it.

[Defcon!]

Just got a lot of G1 minis
Powerglide with cardback
Huffer with cardback
Brawn with cardback

Also picked up a FOC Shockwave and Jazz

Transformers Prime Exclusive Nightmare Unicron came in the mail today. I thought he would've been at least leader class size? But very nice piece non the less.

[SKYWARPED_128]

Got my MP-15 Ravage and Rumble (or Frenzy, if you will) set. Ravage is the real star of the show, TBH.

So I finally managed to get my hands on the Jaguar XK...

Transformers Alternators Ravage!






Think I will spend some time transforming him this afternoon to see what comedy/classic poses he can achieve (in between changing of nappies from my first born son)!

March
Beast Hunters Deluxe Smokescreen
Beast Hunters Voyager Predaking

My grandparents sent me a buttload of figures from an assortment of franchises the other day. In this ruffled pile they managed to obtain FoC Deluxe Starscream and Beast Hunters Deluxe Ripclaw. I like Ripclaw a lot more than I had expected (although I'm still waiting for the Ser-Ket repaint) while Starscream is flawless.

These are STILL hanging around dollar stores here and there. I've been on the fence about this mold for awhile, what's your take on it?

I don't know about dollar stores but I got him for $3.50 total. He's worth at least three times that. The all black Mectech weapon is very nice, good paint and a must pick up if you don't already own this mold, then again even if you do, he's worth picking up. At the very least all his weapons would make a awesome battle ready whoever you decide to use them on...

So, a good friend of mine dug up in her parents' attic and donated the findings of her childhood to me.



Reprolabels, here I come.

Know what's scary awesome? This is just the stuff in great to good condition, and what I could fit in one picture without having to move a ton of stuff. She also gave me the bodies for Landmine and Skullgrin, and confirmed that she had their pretender shells mixed in with her He-Man stuff - I'll be getting those soon. Also not pictured are Rampage, Blaster, Motormaster, Bonecrusher, Groove, Wildrider, Drag Strip, the Decepticon Micromaster shuttle set (one wing broken, sadly), Gunrunner (with the vehicle and most accessories intact), some Action Master with a green jeep-copter, a G2 color changing racecar, and the many many toys that sadly did not survive the old days of play like Swoop , Soundwave, Buzzsaw, Ramjet, and a few others. I now have an official 'parts' bin for the future.

Also not pictured: the Erector she gave me (To be fair, he's missing his crane attachment, so it's only 2/3 of an Erector)

Sounds like a fate worse than death.


Seriously though, all of my jealousy! You are a lucky, lucky collector today!

Imported overstock strikes again, and now things are getting freaky:

Yeah, yeah, another one got Armor Topspin. :P

Bart Smit has him and possibly his wave mates Darksteel and Air Raid at only €9 (or $11), which is still 50% regular retail. If the orange Track Battle Roadbuster is out there too, I'll be a surprised and happy bunny.

And now the mystery of where the hell they're imported from has been revealed:

See the sticker? It's British ;)

Sneaky Brits indeed...

[Va'al]

So mainland Europe is getting overstock from the UK, even though it never showed up here anyway?

Via the UK, the packaging is US

Depends on the viewpoint. I'm rather grateful

And I just checked the catalog and both Wheeljack and Soundwave are on there!

Got SW Xover Darth Maul today.

Lemme tell you, I'm amazed. The ship is perfect without any bot parts visible. The "mech" mode is pretty stylish too, is fun to transform, and is nicely posable. Too bad the packaging lie about the paint aps...

[Zeedust]

My Beast Hunters Shockwave arrived in the mail from Hasbro Toy Shop today.

Do I even need to say how much I love it?

I checked TRU today, in Norwich: same stuff from the same place in Manchester!
So I withdraw my annoyance, and switch to not caring about the later waves of DotM anyway.
