I finally mustered the courage to purchase the Masterpiece Grimlock at my local TRU. It's... beautiful.

as i said, i went into reading, and didnt go up to tru but looked in john lewis who have a fair-ish amount of dotm and the entertainer who have quite a bit and still i'm guessing 5 mixmasters.
mixmaster.
freakin' mixmaster.
i'm not suprised.

also, i got (for free/birthday) the vault, which is packed of goodness.

I got Candy Toy Gia Cross today and I have just finished building him. The seperate figures lack detail but a little paint will fix that. The combining part is a pain to do when you finaly get him combined a piece falles off :-x

. I still like the figure

http://www.youtube.com/user/waspshot23 · by **Wasp-shot23** » Wed Jul 27, 2011 2:41 pm

finally got to tru!!! woop!
and what a lovely host of loveliness they had, highbrows and fallens and grapples and grimlocks and legends 4 packs and ha jazzs...but i couldn't afford any of them so i got what seemed like the last heavytread and a sidearm sideswipe.
then i went to asda over the road and my dad got loads of marvel universe figures and captain america figures for a fiver each for his shop. score! (i might nab myself the world war hulk one...)

The Headrobots set? I would have been, but was absolutely brassic when the limited preorder went up. Like the Nato Roadbuster set I expect it's now something I'll never own.

Certainly would. How much are you looking for? Still got those Gen 'Crackers if one of those would be any use to you as part exchange.

so i went to tru and they had literally loads of stuff.
too much to name, but about all DOTM wave 12, for certain.
i got heavytread with grounspike and they are brilliant, and the voyager blue fallen for you nova, i have opened it but not transformed it, seems fair seeing as the stuff you're giving me is also opened...
i lol at his "real" face.
(thats what i call it, his real face and his battle mask)

woo heavytread buddies! I've been basking in the tanky glow of the one i got yesterday while sitting out in my nan's gazebo today.

Got Windburn yesterday on my birthday trip to Toys R Us. He's not bad, I like his Minicon gun guy, and the vehicle mode (and gun placement) are very Armada Cyclonus, which is cool. Not too keen on his wee stumpy legs, but the arms are pretty cool. TRU had some other ok looking stuff, but I didn't have money at the time so I didn't get anything more.

Picked up a Minicon/Fizzy Sweets pack on the way home today. Got Brimstone. Wasn't one of the ones I was after, but his dragon mode it decent enough. His Minicon peg is too big to fit him on any of the PCCs though! Just tried him on Tidal Wave and looks like he's not going on anyone else. Sigh.

When I got home, I get a card from the post-man that I have a parcel to collect. Here's hoping it's my Skywarp!

Also thinking of checking Home Bargains again (been in twice this week, no PCCs) and TRU again. I might get RTS Lugnut. Is he good?

Figured Skywarp should get to you Wednesday or Thursday, enjoy. Turns out I'm going to have an unexpected extra Target Spacecase if anybody is after one. Will be a week or so before I've got it in hand though.

windburn?
can't picture him...
*googles it*
ah yes, one of the repaints.
i have caliburst and searchlight already, so didnt bother picking him up.

but yeah wasp i know what you mean about heavytread he is made of 101% win.
i love his minicon, he looks great with the combaticons (bobmshock's lot) and his heads are epic.
they "link" together really well if u know what i mean(look like thae same guy but upgraded), and his big head reminds me of headrobots for whatever reason.

http://www.youtube.com/user/waspshot23 · by **Wasp-shot23** » Fri Jul 29, 2011 6:26 am

yeah i think the big head is like hardhead... that's sort of how i picture heavytread.
as for that space case w'lord, i may be interested, depends if i suddenly find one myself... anyhoo, i've still got wheeljack to pay you for so i won't commit.

I've only really been getting Decepticon PCCs so far, so the white helicopter wasn't a major priority. Wanted the Minicon and the chopper alt mode looked cool. Not disappointed in paying a £5 for him, but would probably have been if spending more.

I hope you're not making it a habit of telling people who ask stupid questions that the question they've asked is stupid, because this site alone will give you cause to hire staff to cover your workload. Anyway, it's good to hear he is in fact, okay.

Have these come out over here then? I know Tesco sometimes get Target exclusives but I hadn't heard any indications that we'd be seeing this case this side of the pond.
