The paint is definitely nice. Also, the neck issue seems to be less prevalent on CM, which is part of the reason I got him instead.

Ant Man huh? I've got a few Marvel figures, but Iron Man and Thor from IW are my only Legends. I have a Shuri and Iron Spider in the slightly cheaper class too. I need to get one of the more posable and larger Iron Man figures from Endgame.
There were 3 others that I wanted to get (Thanos, Thor, and Mantis), but Thor is the only one that isn't a build-a-figure or a box set exclusive.

Speaking of build-a-figures, I'm slightly annoyed that every ML wave seems to have them. Since I don't care to complete Cull Obsidian, I'm going to have just his leg sitting around without any of the rest of him. Plus, while I'd kind of like to get Mantis, I don't want to have to buy an entire wave to do so.

I'm really wanting 1 in particular though, but spoilers prevent me from saying
I've seen the movie, so you can just spoiler tag it.

I want the Iron Man with the Infinity Stones. I want that figure in my life. I need it. He's my favorite super hero ever, and I want him wielding the stones like he did in his final moments.

I. Am. Iron Man.

That would be cool. Now that I think about it, maybe they can do a 4-pack of Infinity Man, Mjolnir Cap, and Fat Thor vs Stark Gauntlet Thanos.

Yep! I'm technically not done yet, since I have a math final on Wednesday. However, I'll guaranteed have a passing grade in the class even if I get a 0 on the final.

I had an awesome party last night and got about $660 total from everyone. I'm putting most of it in savings, but I did give myself a bit to spend (which I've so far used to buy Planet X Sunstorm and Street Fighter V).

It was on Saturday, along with the party. We had to schedule the graduation ceremony early since we’ll be on vacation from the 9th to the 21st.

It definitely is. But honestly, the part of the trip that I’m looking forward to the most is that I can just sit around and not have to worry about anything.

Stakeout is definitely the better of the pair. Unfortunately, their combined weapon mode kinda sucks, but you can get decent guns out of them individually.

Chromia is also pretty good. I already liked Moonracer, and Chromia is a straight up improvement. I kinda wish Greenlight was using this version (though I understand why she’s using the old one).

I have only ever used the Air Strike guys in weapon mode, I've just ignored the other weapon modes.

I had no interest in chromia. I have the T30 one, and that works out, since the other 5 gals will be combiner compatible, so she can be independent of them.

The sword guys? Those two definitely have the best weapon mode.

Fair enough. I’ve got my own plans for the combiner gals. Greenlight and Novastar (though I may replace Novastar with Lancer) will join Inferno, Ricochet, and Wreck Gar (the latter two will arrive by the time I get back) as part of Firestormer, while Elita 1 will combine with Bluestreak, Ratchet, and Tigatron (plus SG Starscream if I can get him) to form a mostly Funpub combiner to rival Predacus.

Nice.

I made my own "Infernocus" team, and Elita will have all the ladies. Not sure how Cyclonus, Optimus, and Sky Lynx will split the rest, we'll need to wait and see.

Still kinda bummed that I never got Tigatron, Unit-3, Impactor, or any of the club combiner limbs really. But I can't justify the price for one of those limbs to myself.

I like to put Hound, Smokescreen, Trailbreaker, and Mirage with Sky Lynx, so he can use all of their Outlier abilities to his advantage.

Yeah, the Funpub limbs are definitely hard to get. I got Ratchet and Tigatron (I wanted Unit-3, but I checked the box for Tigatron by mistake) at Botcon, so they were a bit less expensive there, but the prices on eBay are atrocious (an SG Starscream listing I saw had him for $160).

SAFEGUARD!!!!

And I find it funny, replace Ricochet with Jazz and swap the limbs left to right and leg to arm and you have my current Elita Inf1nite. And I don't think I have any members of your Infernocus.

Yep, I finally got around to completing him! I've had Jetstorm for years, and now Jetfire is finally here to complete the duo.

Interesting. This probably won't be Firestormer's final configuration, though. I'm waiting for Greenlight and Lancer to come out so they can be the arms (although, I don't know what I'll do with Moonracer and Novastar once I get the other two.

And I don't think I have any members of your Infernocus.
You mean Elita Inf1nite? I formed her as a way to utilize all of my Funpub limbs that I have lying around. They were originally going to be paired with CW Scattershot to form Modulus (the combiner mentioned in SG Starscream's instructions), but since I didn't want to reuse any characters between combiners (and UW Scattershot is already part of Computron), I switched to Elita 1.

Yep, I meant Elita.

So you are just going to switch the ladies out on Inferno? huh, interesting.

Who will be the last limb on your Elita?
