Explain?

That figure is good, perception changing good. With there being 51 Siege releases for the year, I don't have much budget left for anything else.

So I can't justify that Legends set which is molds I already have.

Siege really seems like a new gold standard for what retail figures can be. I'll be replacing a lot of figures this year.

A-ha, makes sense!

Siege won't be really replacing any in my collection, more filling in holes. It's why I am struggling with Magnus and Prime, seeing as how I now have lots of Primes, but no real standalone, and I have a great Magnus, but the new one looks great, and there may be a retool of Magnus into a Cybertron-esque Prime, so I'm trying to hold back.

The rest are filling holes. I feel good about getting Ironhide and Hound cause their other toys are in combined mode, though I'm unsure about Prowl as I am using the Beast Hunter Prowl for my collection and have 3 CW Prowls, one of which may end up by himself, and that mold will be used for Barricade

First ever Armada figures, thanks to Dinobot4ever!

While I don't have pictures at the moment yet, hot dang are Tidal Wave and Jetfire fantastic!

I really love how heavy and big Tidal Wave is, and the boat modes and the colors. He rocks. Just wish he had knees.

And Jetfire, holy crap, Jetfire is the best of the 2 for me so far! He is huge, gooby, fun, and beautiful!!! I aim to work on getting a Prime and Overload to go with him, but hot dang, he is a fantastic toy all by himself!

I vicariously enjoy watching you collect thses older lines

Right now, it's a precariously dangerous rabbit hole I'm looking down. The urge to buy Prime and Overload is really strong, but I must resist for now!

Also still gotta find a Blackarachnia, Quickstrike, and Inferno for the Beast shelf to finish off the show folks. But there are a ton of other Beast options out there too, like my upcoming Big Convoy (comes out this month!)

Good thing I only really want to find Armada Prime and Overload, I can't afford to go down an Armada collecting path

Worked on the apartment this past weekend, and I totally rearranged the living room area. And with the bots now all set up nice and neat in new spots (Tidal Wave and Jetfire are not in the pictures, but have their spots!) so check it out!

I'm especially proud of Cog and Windblade with their placement. And my movie 1 and 2 toys getting a separate display beside the movie 3 and beyond ones (for the most part)

Lookin real sweet D!
Nice and clean!

Thanks!

I'm also super glad to have the 2 giant Autobot Titans side by side now.

That's some mighty fine displays you got there! I like it

I'm go look a third time

I'm glad I got my big guys in good spots. Also happy with the general feel of the apartment now too. It feels much more cohesive, and I love Tryp guarding my TV

Well it is a nice TV. My Tryppy is also relegated to the floor. His tail is just too honking big

He's in a cubby at an angle and still pokes out, but fortunately because of the shelf design he doesn't look odd there.

Amen to that brother. That's why I have that picture shelf next to him, so his tail can go under something and he doesn't take up as much space. His footprint is huge! He almost takes up less space in Spaceship mode

Dino mode? More like door stop mode!

Truth! He could also be 2 shelves worth of book ends

Guy in a Facebook group I'm in was looking for a Sentinel Prime, and he had an incomplete Armada Prime. He gave me $12 and we did a swap, and I really think I got the far better end of the deal.

Wow, D-Max! Your collection has exploded in the last year or so!! Congrats! I remember those days, but I wasn’t ever able to spread it out that much. It was just a jumble of bots on top of bots.

Good work!!

Ah youth. I can't complain though, I have a room just for my TFs that now doubles as my home office.

I really do like the way that Armada Chunkimus Prime looks.

Thanks Cram! Me living by myself has that advantage of spreading it all out. Though much like Cary, someday when I have a house there will be a room dedicated to just my collection.

And Cary, Armada Prime is really cool. I wasn't expecting this range of articulation, and the clunky but slender feel is really cool!

Phew, got a lot to catch up on!

first up, check out this awesome Promise Ring I got from my girlfriend this weekend!



I was a groomsman in one of my best friends wedding, so we had a blast of a weekend with all the wedding stuff!

I was early for the rehearsal Friday night, so went on over to the local Walmart, and scored the Micromasters and Battlemasters! Also ended up with a clearanced $5 Shuri, so my favorite Black Panther character is finally mine!



The little dudes are really fun! I enjoy these little guys, and they don't take up much space either, so they are perfect little pocket fiends!

To catch up on some Deskbots, I went on a Unicron Trilogy week binge, taking 5 of my 6 molds from the UT and all the minicons to work. Jetfire is still by far the favorite though!












Also brought this guy in, and I ended up speaking in Wazzzzzzzpinator voices all day that day




these 2 little dudes also accompanied me, and make a great pair1




Up next, Jazz once more came with me Friday and went with me this weekend, even though no pictures were taken during that time. he's still my fav of 2018 and one of the favorites period in my collection




And finally, a fun one from Burn from last September. Landmine from the Allspark power line! I really enjoy the wheels in the heels, and having the 2nd smaller wheels in the toes to balance them out. He makes for some fun skating poses

Dude that's a sweet ring, congrats. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of metal is it made from? I have a bit of a platonic metal fetish.

Weddings, I've experienced them from every role and by far the best is as the photographer (I'm my wife's helper/second camera). It's a lot of work, but once the job is done you can just leave

Waspinator all day at work, depending on the person that could be super funny or annoying. To be a fly on the wall that day

Oh yeah, cool transdeformers!

I believe it is made of Tungsten carbide. And it's really awesome, she nailed it!

One of my coworkers is actually a wedding photographer too!

Oh it was bad. I kept saying to myself "Why univerzzze hate Wazzzzzzzzzpinator?"

Ah yes, tungsten carbide, my current wedding ring is made of that. Heavy, hard as hell and almost indestructible!

carytheone wrote:Ah yes, tungsten carbide, my current wedding ring is made of that. Heavy, hard as hell and almost indestructible!

Oh it's heavy all right! It's gone some real weight to it

I think mine is just over 15 grams. Well it should last a life time for ya

Great pick-up on all the micro-mini-blaster-face-sword-tail bots!

The ring is super cool!
What exactly has been promised with it?
And is this still the nice girl you were in band with? I hope so.
