I have recently gotten Flip'n'Change Grimlock, the Generations Fall of Cybertron Voyager Grimlock [finally], and a figure that I wasn't a little interested in but got anyway, Beast Hunter Optimus Prime.

Picked up Generations Legends Nemesis Prime and Cliffjumper today. Haven't opened them up yet as of this post, but after checking other stuff on the interwebz, I'll be opening them. I know what to expect with Nemesis Prime and Cliffjumper's partner Suppressor, since I have the previous Optimus Prime, but Cliffjumper and Spinister will be a new experience, since I'm not planning on picking up Bumblebee just yet. I'm happy with my Classics Deluxe from years ago, but I might get the Legends figure to scale with Cliffjumper.

RTS deluxe's Bumblebee and Optimus Prime (G2).

Got myself Unicron Megatron Construct Bots set as well as Energon Slugslinger. I have wanted Slugslinger for a while since I heard he was quite complex for a deluxe. I must admit, while he is flimsy, I am very impressed with hs vehicle mode. It is an interesting design but there is much needed support and extra tabs in robot mode. Though I wanted it, I am glad I didnt have to actually fork out any money. I got him through a trade for a McFarlane Dragon I have been trying to get rid of for years.

I passed, I hope you dont hate me for it, after all the help you've given me, letting me in on this nice secret. I just cant spend too much after my crazy haul the other day

Your loss because there's a chance you wont see him ever again.

Sigh, I'm looking forward for all my little appartment troubles to end so I can open my new aquisitions and start building my new Construcbots. Especially that Unicron Megatron.

good week for me

another addition to the beast wars collection! MISB metals blackarachnea (for less than the going price of a MISB doemstic BA!)

I wandered into a Toys R Us looking for a present for a friend, and I walked out with AoE Deluxe Drift (and a present for that friend). It's a nice looking figure that fits well into the Classics shelf.

Got my Botcon Flamewar. She's amazing looking and with that BH mold, she look really different than Arcee. A remolded head would have been perfect, but still, she's awesome as she is.

This girl is HOT!
I'm not sorry.

I went to some comic book store today, and found the Prototype Optimus from the first movie. I spent $45 on it and it's unopened. Should I open it, or what? I REALLY want to, but, I don't know if I should.

ProtoTYPE or ProtoFORM?

Because I have the sneaking suspition that you overpaid.

Ah, piss. Yeah, the protoform. I figured it was overpriced because they had movie Megatron for $100. Oh, well.

Yeah, never get Transformers from comic book stores. I got lucky with my local guys, who were offering Energon Skyblast for about fourteen bucks. That was a steal. Fall of Cybertron Starscream, though, was going for over thirty bucks. :roll:

He's the last one to be released, and Eject will be shipped concurrently with him. Should start shipping in October-ish.

Also, spoiler warning much?

We're just following the Club's wishes to keep the Mystery Figure's identity a secret. Just use a link without using the [img] brackets.

Its an easy mistake. I am sure you thought this was the Trans Scanning Optimus figure which is also Optimus as a protoform and does not sell for too cheap.
