Satisfied a craving

I just picked up Generations Wheeljack and Kup, and Hunt for Decepticons Seaspray in one little ebay bid. Three figures I reluctantly let slip while they were still on the shelves. I dunno if they seem so awesome because I'm getting tired of all the CW molds or what, but I'm in love! I actually got them slightly cheaper than they were at retail even including the shipping, and they were new in box! I just had to brag to someone because my fiancee gets sick of hearing all the bot-talk from me :lol:

Super stoked on these figures :KREMZEEK:

Good to hear! It's always nice to nab those figures that are missing pieces to a collection. They're not grails or high priorities, but the feeling of satisfaction is always worth pulling the trigger, especially if you were really hesitant. My current craves/itches-to-scratch are an original Optimus Primal, BotCon 2014 Scorponok, and reacquiring the CW Aerialbot limbs. (If anyone can help out, PM me.)

I've been eyeballing that Skorp too, so disgustingly neon. It's beautiful! I actually have the original Primal but unfortunately I won't be letting it go. Currently missing some pieces, but I'm sure if I dig through my mom's attic I'll be able to track them down. I just pulled all my old Beast Wars figures(and my little brother's, shh don't tell him) out of storage and was surprised how well they hold up to current figures.

Don't forget Breacher who goes with Seaspray. :twisted:

I hear he's a slick little figure. I'll probably look for a Breacher post xmas season. For now I'll just park Swerve in the back of the boat to annoy Seaspray.

Breacher is probably the single best Scout-class figure of the last decade, he's definitely worth a pickup.

I typically like to give mine Kup's rifle, by the way; he looks great with it on one forearm.

Three great figures, cool pickup.

I passed on Breacher, intending to pick up the redeco, then the redeco never came.

All 3 are great figs; I am happy that i got the iGear head upgrade for Kup though.
Adds some more dimension to the character than the stock, emaciated face.

Breacher, however, is a great little dude.
The combo mode with Seaspray is a nice touch but stands well alone on his own 2.

I'll probably get a new head for Kup, I like that cigar a lot. The eyes in mine are messed up anyway so it'll be worth it for sure.

I just got a Breacher a few days ago. I like him, but I don't love him. Maybe it's just because he's got some QC issues with his head combined with the fact that I paid more than I typically would for a figure his size.

Seaspray is solid, but I gotta say my favorite out of these guys is definitely Wheeljack. I love so much about the figure that whenever I walk by the shelf he's on I cheer internally.

I hear that. My wife gets tired of all the Transformers talk. Nice pick up. I got them when at retail and despite the figures I've picked up since I still enjoy as if I just got them.
