Enjoying the stickers? Sure, there is a lot, but they are less a pain to apply than for TR Trypticon. Also, G1 Fortmax as a REAL city mode, unlike the TR version, where the bot just give up and only sit down.

Oh, and thanks again, lakebot!

What I've gotten lately, in the last couple of weeks:

C'mon now, the city mode is just kinda meh, but he doesn't just sit down. First he has to throw his hands in the air like he just don't care. Then after that, I would hardly call doing the splits giving up. My nuts hurt just thinking about it. Doesn't make the end result any better, but I can at least empathize with what poor TR Fort Max has to go through to provide such a meh mode.

holy crap, I think I heard your wallet screaming from here

Nice haul

Went on a date yesterday, stopped at a Walmart on the way there to get her a Christmas gift, and I found they had wave 2 TLK deluxes. Picked up one to support them, seeing as how I had a Canadian Sqweeks from many moons ago:



Bot mode is cool, and mine didn't have very many floppy issues. the alt mode shouldn't exist though

Got POTP Grimlock from Amazon. Feels small in hand. Haven't transformed him yet.

Dude... That was awesome!

Picked up PotP Starscream today from TrU. They were out of Grimlocks, sadly. I'll check back for him later in the week.


Not sure if I wanna keep or open Starscream. Seems kinda small. Looks like Voyagers, or at least their boxes, shrank between TR and PotP.

New toys i added yesterday with birthday money i did. Titans Return Wolfwire (G1 Weirdwolf) and Hardhead did i choose. How really nice they look.

I had fun design this Weirdwolf/Yoda reverse poem.
Looka like i have to be careful around Weirdwolfs wrist joints and the pilot hatch,the plastic look dangerously thin.

When transforming, open the belly panel to push out the other side. This way, you won't break anything.

The odd proportions make you think he is smaller then he should be. But in the end, but was he in the box happen to be as big as the ones in titans return. You can see a comparison to other voyage her toys in these images

Thanks for the advice.

A few things I've recieved over the last couple of weeks.



Special thanks to a fine Canadian chum for securing those impossible to find wave 5 deluxes for me!
With those and Ram Horn, that completes Titans Return for me. HOORAY!

And here they are, the Titan Masters i have purchased recently all on display.

My Toysrus was a real thing of beauty today. They had it all! So I picked up what I was missing from POTP wave 1.

MFW too broke to buy anything...

Because my week was the way it was, I've only made it halfway through my recent hauls. And I didn't get much for mail either (seriously no Big Powered yet!!?). What I did get though...

GF DVD Noisemaze Mass Production Type. Hard to come by and expensive, sad news for a troop builder

Damn that's nice. I'm real jealous of the POTP Leaders. Funny thing, I'm debating going on a road trip next week since I'm off from work. It was a long shot, but I considered your neck of the woods for a split second. Then I googled the weather report.

We all laugh, but the truth of the matter is that G1 Fort Max makes a lotus backward-lying position with his hands above his head, too.

Still, it was worth it, if only to fill that huge hole in my collection. I had a Korean Brave Max once, and always hated that I never had a proper Fort Max.

Dont be jealous, they arent that amazing and have major flaws in some areas. The real stars of POTP so far have been the Legends class, for me. Deluxes are pretty good too. I will share more thoughts on the leaders in the POTP thread.

As for coming over, if ever you do, send me a PM. But yes, our weather is not enviable, we have so much damn snow!!!!!

We did borrowed with those two weeks of 40°C heatwave at the end of September / beginning October. Time to pay back... with interests.

My TLK Voyager Megatron came in from Amazon (yay Sunday deliveries). Can't believe they were unloading this guy for only $16. This figure is amazing! All of his parts lock in perfectly in both modes and no underbot, way better than Nitro.

Let the Christmas haul bragging begin! It was a bit nuts for me. (Keep in mind this is my haul and my brother's combined.) Ramhorn courtesy of D-Max! Thank you, man!

woohoo, MP Sideswipe in the house!!!!!!!! Congrats, this whole haul is awesome!

Christmas haul!



Unfortunately, Trypticon's a bit knackered and missing a ramp, but I'm working on rectifying that.

Christmas haul time. Looks like I finally might be able open them up tonight after finally getting all the kids gifts opened up and put together.
