my takara rattrap vs terrorsaur set!

my takara rattrap vs terrorsaur set!

Hang on a tick, those are the second year show-accurate variants! I thought they didn't come in any versus sets?

i didnt know that... but i dont recall seeing other versus sets in show colors now that i think about it. i bought this set as "not misb" so they could have just been put in a versus box (though i dont know why anyone would do that).

for the record, the seller previously had the same exact set only misb. so.... *shrug*

Weird... That would mean I'd have to look closely at Beast Wars VS sets some more. I really want a show-accurate Terrorsaur and maybe that 2nd-year Dinobot.

Picked up a pair of Whirls yesterday, one for me and one for a friend.

He's a super fun figure, looks great. I love the combination between G1 and IDW styling.

i could PM you the name of the seller if you want. he's had two sets over the past few months so you never know.

and i was thinking about getting the 2nd year dinobot. i mean ill get a misb one, but an open one displayed? telemocha (or whatever its called) is the undisputed king of dinobot repaints so iunno...

I got Armada Starscream and Prime Smokescreen over the weekend.

Smokescreen has a surprisingly awesome transformation.

[OptiMagnus]

Today I found Armada Starscream and FOC Skywarp. They look great!

[Dagon]

I just got a Botcon 2013 Obsidian!

[shajaki]

scramble city reissue C-69 ultra magnus! won for the insane price of $66 thanks to a late night auction and my alarm clock lol!



and found at TRU on the way home, legacy dragon dagger! did anyone else know it was going to be gold plated? i didnt! and god damn is it silly fun to play around with

[Windsweeper]

In the last few weeks I've gotten a set of oversized Seacons, the 5 small ones.

An oversized G1 Blitzwing.

Am awaiting Fansproject Dragstrip.

[Fox Thiagarajan]

Just got Generations Whirl today! : )

[Jelze Bunnycat]

Promised myself a treat after a week of agony aka taxes:



Prime Beast Hunters Ultra Magnus

To be honest, it was a toss-up between him and Dreadwing. I may get him later, depending and finally make use of Hasbro 2-for-1 promotion (aka market research). Beast Hunters is disappearing from the shelves here so I may have to hurry.

[shajaki]

tfcc runabout and runamuck! botcon rainmakers! (welcoming committee)



henkei dinobot!

[thedistinctroom]

Beast Wars Transmetals Rattrap
Titanium 6" Cybertron Heroes RiD Optimus Prime (Fire Convoy)

[Jelze Bunnycat]

henkei dinobot!

How much did he set you back?

[shajaki]

How much did he set you back?

'round 200. quite painful. about a year ago they were floating around on ebay for 100-150 and i was all "pffff. i can find one cheaper!" then they disappeared for like 4 months... only to return with a 200-250 price tag. it hurt, but i figured i better snatch him up while he was still around.

and i figured he'd only go up and become more scarce with generations churning out BW characters. but im betting with my luck theyll announce a brand new generations voyager dinobot next week

Egad! What exactly makes this bad boy so expensive? He's made of rubber.

Beloved character + "show-accurate" toy + exclusive to Japan = wallet on life support.

Anyway, my true reason for being here:



Yep, I got him:

Prime Beast Hunters Dreadwing

It was either him or Vertebreak, I've seen multiples of him, and only one Dreadwing. Easy choice, that. Is anybody reminded of Beast Machines Jetstorm with his colors?

Now I can claim money back via Hasbro NL's 2-for-1 promotion! Score!

yup. and he's really scarce. and he's not rubber. the dino arms are, the tail is a thicker rubbery plastic, and the rest is the hard stuff.

and yeah jelze... he does remind me of jetstorm... makes me want one now. how is that mold?

I do appreciate the response. Saw a loose Universe Dinobot for $25 today and wondered if I should get it, but instead I got:

Car Robots Super Mach Alert (Complete in box)
Vehicle Voltron I (1st release, complete and unbroken in box!!!)

He's not bad actually, I really dig him. I love how the wings are done, being able to feather out like a peacock's. The weapons are cool and can combine into a cannon-staff-like thingie. I like staffs The jet mode is interesting color-wise, plus the beak on the nosecone is a nice touch. The downside is he has a lot of undercarriage junk, but that's hardly anything new with jet-TF's. He's worth checking out

Speaking of BM Jetstorm, BH Dreadwing's motifs remind me of another character:



Yes, I can see FunPub using that idea.

strangely enough... i cant really recommend this figure/mold. id say hes mainly for diehards. the hasbro color scheme is all wrong, and the takara version is way to expensive. his sword sucks and he has limited posability due to some strange leg sculpting. but hes my favorite character and im building a shrine so i kinda needed him.

I was aiming more towards Beast Wars: Uprising Silverbolt.
