Finally got Siege Springer today. Was shipped in a box three times the size it needed to be and no packing whatsoever. Surprised Springer's box was in as good of shape that it was

Because TrU online and Hasbro Pulse won't take any chances with our random Quebec laws, the Siege Refraktor special 3 pack was "unshipable" to Quebec.

However, someone at TrU stick it to the Man and brought the 3 pack in Quebec bricks-n-mortar Toys R Us! On an impulse at work, I called my local TrU to see if they had it. A nice gentlemen set the LAST box aside for me to pick it up.

And here it is. At last!
(And a Tetris machine because why not.)



Was it worth the extra 10$CAN on top of 3 full priced 30$CAN figures? Plus 15% taxes?

Definitely.

I did a quick review HERE.

Keep the receipt and the box. With the rcard, you now have 90 days to return it and repurchase it at discount.

Forgot to mention it, but yeah. Already done. And I zapped it with my Club R card like for my Siege Jetfire. So if a random sale come I can get refunded the difference.

3 whole months of sale warranty. Waiting for a sale while risking missing out is a thing of the past!

Well that was an early dropoff.

Yeah, man! Same thing all the way over here.
I almost get the feeling they drop off at your house and immediately zap over to mine.


Gotta love that party hat!

The dunce cap is easily the best part!

BIRTHDAY HAUL!!!!!

Except I'm still waiting for one of my kids to get home so we can do cake and open my presents.

In the meantime you all can try guessing what everything is. All 4 are haul-worthy, were ordered online and arrived within the last 10 days.

I'll post the opened presents later once I get to tear into them.

Happy BDay!

Happy Bday, Kev!!!!

I'm gonna guess there's a Jetfire in that big box.

Happy birthday!!

I feel like it might be a Omega Supreme, a Seeker of some sort, a Brunt, and something else.

Also, got me a tiny new favorite today:

Mail haul, fresh off the boat (well, plane) from hentai land:

Pretty happy about today's mail. Got the Chaos on Velocitron set and Titans Return Cloudraker and Wingspan.

Happy Birthday!!

Thanks for the Birthday Wishes everyone, and great score on Quackles, D-Max.

D-Max actually had one of them right and was close on a second (Zetar instead of Brunt).

The best part? I took tomorrow off work, so I get the house to myself for a solid 7 hours tomorrow to play with my toys.

Happy Birthday Kev!!!

Dang so close! I thought the botbots might be a voyager and i could not figure out that Reflector pack! congrats!

The last of my hauls are in!



Finally, finally nabbed MP Skywarp. Now I have all the MP Seekers for that mold, including the Coneheads. I’m actually glad I got Skywarp last, because he looks so fabulous. He doesn’t feel like “yet ANOTHER Seeker.”

BWII Galvatron and RiD Megatron are tremendous. So purple! Such dragons. I’m enjoying Megatron way, way more than I thought I would.



I waited to get Grimstone last, because he’s typically the most expensive PCC figure, and because I thought I’d enjoy him the least. Happy to say I was wrong about the latter part. He’s awesome. Also got my first United EX PCC, so I’ve officially started down that road.

Nearly done with my Mechtech HA figures. Loving the whole subline, and all the mini-figs.

Got AM Thundercracker, so now I have all three seekers. Pretty pleased over all. There’s still some AM figures I really want, but they aren’t cheap....


Not pictured are a couple 3P upgrades and 7 exclusive microns to go with my combiners from my now complete PCC collection!
Firebolt
Firebolt (yellow)
Caliburst
Peaceman
Aimless
Blowpipe
Pinpointer

I just need Vector Oracle now. All in all, I’m super happy with this months haul.

Scored big tonight on my little trip out



Found Ratchet, Hightower, and Drift at Target, and then finished the set at walmart. And with that, Cyberverse and Studio Series are caught up until the new year!

Awesome brick-and-mortar finds, D-Max! There’s nothing like finding a ton of stuff you’re missing in stores.

Boring brick-and-mortar not-finds, Me! There’s nothing. I don't like finding none of stuff. Missing in stores.

My local stores. Most of the time...

TRU laval had the siege wave 3 deluxes yesterday. You even found refractor 3 pack at retail.

I didn't really "found" the 3 pack. I rather dumb lucked into the very last one due to a well timed phone call and a helpful store clerk.
Good news they finally restocked because I was sick and tired of seeing their W1 overstock. Wave 3 is the one with Ironhide, Prowl, Sixgun, and Chromia, right?

As for Walmart, Walmart is $#!T. If they have anything new, it's only 2 or 3 bots of each and they never last long. Most of the time, it's literal empty shelves.

That same Target 3 weeks ago only had just gotten wave 1 of the Spark Armors, so that was a huge surprise! And then finding all 3 size classes of Studio figures at once has never ever happened for me, it was an incredible day!

I definitely prefer finding stuff at brick and mortar stores, it'w why i wait for figures in the hopes of finding them in store like this. it's more enjoyable

-Kanrabat- wrote:Wave 3 is the one with Ironhide, Prowl, Sixgun, and Chromia, right?

No, that's the one with Refraktor, Brunt and Red Alert. Chromia, Ironhide et all are Wave 2.

And speaking of Wave 2, I'm caught up with the Micromasters now:

Stakeout & Red Heat: Rescue Patrol

Skipping Soundwave's minions in favor of the TR ones.
