I have the Hoist repaint of that tow truck. One of the few Movie TFs I display. Really neat design and cool head sculpt.
Are you interested in this lot.

Love the playground scene. :lol:

Only for Hoist really. I dislike that original bee and I just got the cannon Bee which is very similar to that cliffjumper. And I dont care for those little static chibi figures.

Found some more stuff which I didnt know existed.

Image

Image

Those are like simpler Optimus and Ratchet toys from the movies but I dont know which movie or what they do.

Plus I found these knockoff tfs

Image

I dont know what the previous one is, but this next one is KO Hook

Ok, so Cobotron and Cary and some others asked to see me document Poutine Week. I am from Quebec, a place with a totally different culture, language and laws, that is not that far from you fellow Americans. Part of it's culture is a food called poutine; it is made of fries, cheese curds, and brown gravy (kind of like KFC gravey, not steak sauce).

Now we have a week dedicated to this food where different restaurants all over the city have their special and you then vote on your favourite. I will document it here, just consider it a food stop on my hunt.

So the place I went to is ART BRGR, my favourite burger joint in the city. Very minimal in decoration, its all about the food (including the engravings on the wall):

Image

Image

And here is their Poutine:

Image

Ok so along with the fries, cheese curds and gravey, they also have ham, baked beans, an egg, bacon, sausages and vodka (in the shooter glass).

I started dumping the baked beans and mixing it:

Image

Halfway through, I drank the shooter:

Image

And then I finished it!

Image

Ok one poutine down, I will probably try another before the end of the week!

Cheers all!

That looks really good, and not that good for you, so you know it tastes good!! I love some local slop. Especially with an egg thrown on top.

So what is the vodka for? You shoot it half way through to numb the pain of finishing that heart attack mountain? :-P :lol:

Yes Poo teen. And this is called the hangover poutine so I guess the vodka is to be taken before to then have the grease suck up the alcohol.

Ok, so I had another poutine (Poo Teen) today during my hunt. It was Bisque flavoured, qith actual lobster pieces.

Image

My wife was with me and tried one too but she didnt like it.

So I finished hers as well

Image

Then I went to Toysrus and the transformers section was PACKED! With toys I mean.
Take a look!

Image

Image

Image

There were 9 G2 Superions! Each row is 3 boxes deep.

Image

They did have what I wanted though, which is those new RID battle packs. And there were no specials for me to get rainchecks for. But I was glad to see it so filled up.

Oh man, what a hunt today!

It was retro con a place to buy TFs (and other toys) and the prices were so good, I felt like rebuying toys I already had just because I didnt want to miss out on such good deals. But I got lost getting there, so as I was wandering I decided to take some pics of this grittier side of downtown Montreal:

Image

Which turns into a nicer part

Image

Anyways, I got there and there were a bunch of tables but sadly, no Animated wreckgar/swindle or any beast machines, or Cybertron Crosswise/Brimstone which were the main toys I was looking for.

Instead there was all this:

Image

You cant see it well but that's Cybertron Sideways for 5$,,, 5 freaken dollars....CANADIAN!

Image

So many animated toys, it was like walking into a store in 2008, and at the same retail price too

Image

Image

Image

There were also some people doing Star Wars Dioramas

Image

More toys (this was all junkars)

Image

G2 Onslaught for 5$ was tempting
Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

And this was what I took home from it:

That looks like a fun outing. Or, hunt I should say.
Great haul! all that animated stuff looks like a ton of fun.

And now I know why you asked what you asked. You have Ratchet too don't you? :(

I wont, I already have it. You really think that voyager mold is junk though? I found it better than the leader. At least it didnt have partsforming in dino mode and his feet and hands were better hidden. Oh and it has that choping gimick that all good dinos should have :lol:

The T-Rex mode looked stubby and weird, the dino feet on the robot mode arms looked bad, and the elbows only went side to side.

Yeah, the elbows suck! But I dont see the rest of the faults you do. He scales well with the other dinobots too.

Ok so for this treck, I had to get out of the island and into the southern suburbs, where I dont ever go.

Image

Once again some scenery as I approach the house

Image

Image

And here are the toys I picked up out of that lot I pictured above:

Beast Hunter Voyager Predaking V2, Universe Powerglide and Cybertron Longrack all for 20$ cdn (14.40 USD)

Image

Whats funny is that I went to my local thrift store to see if they had any tfs and they had another predaking who had definitely seen better days

This was clearly a fluke. Someone had a collection and gave it away and it reached this thrift shop. There was also an IDW Drift and First Edition Cliffjumper but they were missing limbs.

Found Gen Dirge at the Thrift shop, I was looking for this guy for a while but he was never at any toy shows. I would have gladly bought him for 15-20 bucks loose, but this is far more fun!

Wow, you have some fun up there! I have within 5 min from me a goodwill, kids consignment store, TJ Maxx, Tuesday Morning, Burkes, 5 Below, and Target. Pickins' have been so slow lately - and have never found anything good at goodwill or the kids thrift store. But I still fondly remember finding Animated Swindle at Walgreens (16.99 :( but glad I bought him!), NEST Lockdown at Tuesday morning (5.99!), and generations wheeljack at Target on clearance ($3.50!!).

And while Optimus Maximus (without arms) is the main thing you see here, the bag also has a Weaponizer Prime:

I kept this and donated the rest:

I bought nothing, but spotted some tfs

Image

Image

Image

Not bad for a leader grimlock. but he doesnt come with his shield/back

Image

There was a really nice sentinel Prime, though I already have him and they werent "giving" him away, so I transformed him to make him more marketable.

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

ToysRus had all sorts of weird stuff:

Image

Image

And heres what I saw on my way out:

Sadly, there are no more combaticon limbs on the entire island of montreal. More might come along with wave 2 of 2016's combiner wars since there is often an overlap, but as of right now it looks like we went back in time 6 months:
