I don't even know where to begin, Sigma! And this checklist/poster makes it even harder!Do you have any favorites?

I'm most interested in Countdown but Skystalker looks cool.....
I'm sucha Decepticon.

MICROMASTERS!!!! I have a bunch of them!! I even have some of the combiner ones still sealed!! They were a birthday present and duplicates and we never exchanged them

Do you have pics I can check out, Cram? I srsly knew nothing about Micromaster combiners!

I played around with 'Shadow s'more....from Skynet Hunter-Killer to gerwalk mode to 'Con in 10 seconds flat!
Ok, mebbe not that fast lol

Puppies!

Micromasters! I actually had a lot of those growing up

Love the Skyshadow fan modes. I felt weird about him though. I fully understand the figures greatness, but... I just didn't care? Maybe cause I don't even really know who he is? Having no connection doesn't help much. But still an awesome mold.

Sky/Black Shadow was the definition of an impulse-buy for me, Shaj -- I knew nothing of him in Victory, or about Mega Pretenders when I first heard of him.

I also planned on only picking up Overlord as far as the mold was concerned; I'm not certain I will now (unless DEM LIPS). I still may, since I really enjoy 'Shadow. I finally transformed him last night (!), and that's why those pics happened.

Micromasters were the same as Pretenders to me, after '87....non-existent, since I gave in to full time gaming on consoles.

But now, gaming has gotten a bit old, and it's back to toys!

wut?

I'm super happy and super sad that I'm not collecting all the Legends scaled toys. On one hand, they all look amazing, and tiny toys are sometimes more fun that the big ones. On the other hand, it's almost 100% supported by 3P's, and that stuff will add up SUPER fast.

You said it, Shaj -- this could potentially be a 3rd party rabbit hole, and that would be too much for me! I really only have these after a friend twisted my arm.

He put his mini-Megz in Black Z's claw....

I thought I had my fill of Arcee, but it seems I just can't quit her.

I really want this Fans Toys incarnation, MP-stylee.

Feelin all the wants for that...

FT Rouge will have to pretty much be PERFECT for me to buy....but so far, I am very optimistic, Shaj!

But y'know what? AGH! I hate thinking of buying a figure I know is a shoe-in for an official release. It might be years, but there's no way she'll be skipped.

There should be no way, my friend, but I'm still waiting on an official MP Galvatron!!

That FansToys version of Galvy was pretty hawt too, but by that time, I already loved DX9's Tyrant. If Takara did an MP for Galvatron now, it would have to be on Megz 2.0's level....and that might just be out of my reach if it's ~$200.

At least with Arcee, she should be ~$100 (or less)....I'm hoping. But yeah, if FT Rouge ain't perfect, I'll hold out as well.

You mentioned Micromasters recently.

Here they be.



Also, that FansToys lineup looks so dang nice..dang it..!!

Unopened METRO SQUAD?! Nice, Cram!

I love seeing the box o' bots, too.

I wish I could get that FansToys entire line-up -- I'll be lucky to get Not Arcee.

I'm not gonna say the PretenderQuest is ending, but the remaining Cons on the list go for ridiculous amounts.....which I suppose should make the hunt more interesting. Or painful.

Bearscream's Psycho-Terror Troopers (PTT)
Class of 20XX

Bad comedy indeed

I was wondering what that Voltron Star Shooter was!! AWESOME!!

Also, yeah, I already had the Metro Squad so I never opened that one for some reason!!

What Decepticon Pretenders are you still looking for, other than Thunderwing?

Bludgeon, Cram! He may be one of the "small" Pretenders (like Octopunchy), but everyone knows and wants him.

If he's a future Prime Master, perhaps there's a chance he gets a Masterpiece (still wishful thinking)....

I occasionally search for Carnivac's tail, a cheap Stranglehold (I'm thinking ~$25 for shell, bot and some accessories!)....I'm not really into the humanoid shells, but Stranglehold reminds me of my favorite Final Fight character, Haggar.

Ah yes. Bludgeon.

And good old Mayor Mike Haggar. I still chuckle when I see "Haggar" clothing in a store

Well then my friend do I have a tale for you



you're welcomed

BRAVOOOOOO!!!

Thank you for that, Cary!! Valkyrie Profile AND Final Fight? Beautiful ballad, appropriately EPIC.

I went to my favorite vintage store again, and scored two bots. I had never even seen these from 2007, but no surprise, since I wasn't collecting (again!) 10 years ago.
I'll post more pics later tonight but anyone wanna guess who this is?! I had to look it up after the owner gave me a real clue.
Oh and I'll take pics of his nemesis (?) too!

Real Gear Robots Autobot Spy Shot 6.

Ha-HA! I'm a nerd!

DYAMN Sigma u r fast!!! Here's the two together:
Spy Shot 6 ($7) & Power Up VT6 ($9)I guess there are more bots from the TF live action movies I am enjoying now that I've bought some Real Gear figures!

Trypticon should be a sweet Titan. I'm honestly undecided if I will buy him at full MSRP, since $150 isn't in impulse-buy range. But he's the last big bot I bought back in the day, and this upgrade is absolutely lovely in its faithfulness to the G1 original, and incorporates the Titans Return spin on the whole thing. Sure, I kinda miss Brunt, but this is how Trypticon should have been! Who needs him to be battery-operated for slow-ass-walking when he's actually the size of what a 'Con-base should be?

But srsly, tho -- as awesome as he undoubtedly will be, can Trypti do this?
Time to refuel, Max!
