What up y'all??

Brought Excellion and MP Hot Rod in on Friday.



Both are great figures and have made it through the elimination rounds

Yesterday I was going through things trying to find things for things I'm selling. I made progress last night, but I need more ziploc bags of the gallon variety. A LOT MORE. I also am coming to terms with what will be my list of things to sell.

I've also determined I'm going to keep most of my Bumblebees until further notice. Even the ones I was kinda happy to sell. Well, maybe I'll part ways with a few. Here's a shot of most of them (but not all, missing are G2 (redeco of G1) Bumblebee, G1 Pretender and ActionMaster, and MP. There's also a generic yellow bot thrown in there for good measure as a "Bumblebee Honorable Mention" (per Cobotron).


RTS legends Gold Bumblebee, G1 Goldbug, AoE voyager Galvatron and AoE deluxe Bumblebee made it to the office today.

One thing I noticed when I was organizing was going through "legends class" figures and how they really have grown over the years. RTS Gold Bumblebee is legends class, but so is TR Roadburn. HUUUUUUUUUUGE difference!!

EDIT: Forgot the Bumblebee pic AND to announce that Classics/The Legacy of Bumblebee/RTS deluxe Bumblebee is in my top 3 now. Can't believe I sold off RTS.

Look at that awesome swarm!

I wrote a top 10 best Legends/Legions list for Billy a while back, and the whole, "Legions used to be called Legends before Legends was Legends Class" thing really threw people for a loop. Hasbro likes to reset the class names every once and awhile.

It's not that bad of a swarm!! I know I have a picture from a few years ago when I had more. Really, I wouldn't mind just one from each movie, but two from the first and two from AoE would be acceptable as well as there were two versions in each.

Yeah, I guess RTS Gold Bumblebee (and RTS Optimus, Megatron, Starscream) are really "legion" not "legends" by today's standards.

Holy cows Cram, that is a swarm!!!

I'm looking forward to my own MP Hot Rod! You keep showing yours off and making me more jealous!!!

Also, you still got that Protoform X/Rampage? I may be interested in him!! Details on why to come here in a few minutes elsewhere!

It's a tiny swarm, but the quality is there!!

When will then be now for MP Targetmaster Hot Rod?!

D-Max, Protoform X is yours if you want him. Did you end up with the other Protoform?!

I see what happened. D-Max became a Beast Wars fan. For $20 I'd buy the show too!!

Here's yesterdays desk team.


And here's today's.


Caught my first Rayquaza in GO today! Huzzah!!

Did you use...






I love the rando Hero of the Wind pitching in.

Nope, he's a Pokémon!!

The 'bees wanted to help, Hero of the Wind saw a Legendary Beast and said "Snake Ganon!!"

Quality over quantity my friend!

Probably going to be at least another month or 2, I'm pausing any figure shipping until I am settled into my eventual apartment!

What other Protoform??? I was the one who bought your Depthcharge if that is who you are talking about!!

Heck yeah, high quality except for a few

That's fine, I've got time. I think I even have his original box, which is a completely plain cardboard box with a foam insert!! May even have the one for Depthcharge. Or maybe I don't have either and it's just the one for Armada Thrust..

THE TRANSMUTATE!! I guess TFCC is officially done, huh. They had Transmutate, and I really wanted her. Pretty sure it was Prime FE Arcee, even came with a box with room for her AND Rampage. There was a comic storyline featuring those two in the TFCC magazine.

Oh yeah, that one! Everything you said was right! Shame, as it would be fun to own her too

That was really the figure I was watching during their sale as I never had the FE mold, and it would've given me reason to keep Rampage. I have all his stuff together, waiting in a Ziploc. His right elbow is loose between the 90* and straight down 180*. Less than 90* it hits a ratchet and stays in place perfectly.

TFCC Transmutate is... I can't explain why, but once in hand I fell instantly in love with her. She is just a straight repaint, but she wears it perfectly. And she just feels... special for some reason. Being such a tragic character in the show, and seeing what she was meant to be... I dunno. It's a great piece to have for a BW fan

Thanks for making me feel worse that I missed out on her Shaj

Dang it Shaj!! Where's the fist shaking emoticon?!


So things!!

I've got KO Blueblue here at the office since last week. Here he was with those friends.


Then weaponed up by himself the next day.


Two days prior, I was in the process of cleaning and organizing for selling. I've got two and a half 30 gallon bins with stuff for sale!! Woo!! And that's not everything (well it is everything TF, but not Marvel/DC/Star Wars)!! Here's some of the bots not being sold so you can be like "why you no sell?!"


That Galvatron really is an amazing giant purple spaceship.

Here's someone leaving today. I'm gonna miss this guy fo sho!


I have Alternators Optimus Prime here today too. I had to floor polish his knee joints two days in a row to get him to stand properly. He's perfect now I think!! Really not terrible in bot mode and amazing in alt mode!!

Whoa whoa whoa hold the presses - what's up with "fire breath" on TFA Grimmy? Does part of the sword pop off and get shoved in his mouth?

It was supposed to happen but it doesn't. Sort of a letdown. He's dang awesome in bot mode.

So last week I had some bots with me on Friday.


These two are the only two Cybertronian Optimus Prime's that I own? That's odd.

So then I found this guy on clearance at Walmart. $10?! Yes please!!


He's really dang awesome.

Then I thought "Well, last week you had two Cybertronian Optimus Primes, this week you should have two Cybertronian Megatrons!" So here they are.



I think that may be the first time I've transformed Prime voyager Megatron. He's completely ridiculous but I love him. And holy cats, I thought the leader TLK Megatron was good, this thing is pretty dang awesome!! I like how the front end stays together Makes me wish I picked up voyager Optimus

itscramtastic wrote:Makes me wish I picked up voyager Optimus

Don't be too sad. While they learned some lessons since the TLK Leader, he isn't that great

But Voyager Megs is great. I found him very fun to transform, like TR Kup was

I wanted the SDCC one with the piece of tire and such!! OR that Japanese corrupted one!! So dang cool.

I'm gonna have to have some QT with leader and voyager and see who wins. I mean, both were great deals for me, voyager possibly having the slight edge. I need that legend class one though!!

WHO IS THIS TR KUP?!

itscramtastic wrote:WHO IS THIS TR KUP?!

TUR KUP HEN , it's what's for dinner

Picked this guy up the other day at a Home Goods of all places. Not sure why, I was hoping the helmet was removable even though you only see him without it in Rogue One and he is supposed to be the "New Hope" (which is the same as Rogue One) Darth Vader.


So I have these two awesome figures on my desk this week. Each only costing $10


Today I brought in Marvel Legends 6" Captain America from Captain America: Winter Soldier. MCU Cap is one of my favorite characters of all time. I definitely need to pick up ML MCU Falcon, Bucky, Hawkeye, Ant-Man, and probably the new Iron Spider-Man from Avengers: Infinity War. Sure, I'd love to get GiANT-Man BAF from Captain America: Civil War or even the Thanos BAF from Avengers: Infinity War.

In other news a bunch of those types of figures will be added to the sale thread in the next few weeks.

Movie Cap and Bucky are pretty awesome. And that pair eventually became some of my favorite characters in the comics, maybe even right behind Spider-Man. Bucky taking the mantle were probably some of my most favorite stories to date. But I doubt the MCU will give us a "Bucky Cap"

Bucky Cap was great!! Until they murdered him
