August Acquisitions

Botcon Banzai-tron thanks to Paulbot:)

My Missus nabbed me micromaster Nightflight and half of Flywheels (The "Fly" half) from a records store in the inner city over the weekend

Did a good job grabbing the Transformers and leaving the voltron figures there!

Today's acquisitions:
+ BotCon Cindersaur
+ Masterpiece Grimlock
+ Spike

Good to see you finally got yourself a big Grimm, despite some fans various criticism I really love that MP.:)

As for Cindersaur, my eyes!!!!! it burns!!!!!

I think one main criticism is the relative simplicity of the toy for what is an expensive Masterpiece. When I got this toy I started wondering what it'd be like to read instructions for an MP toy in English -- but then I remembered... Hasbro doesn't believe in using words. (-_-) So just as well it's fairly simple, cos I reckon it'd be a beeotch to transform a Masterpiece without textual instructions... I admire anyone who can transform Masterpieces without being able to read the instructions, cos I do read the instructions and I still find them hard! :p

Btw, does anyone want the box? If not I'm gonna bin it. Speaking of which... I've been noticing this with the Human Alliance figures, and now MP Grimlock -- but they're so-called "boxes" are really more like rectangular(ish) CARDS. Maybe like a big box-card hybrid... but when opening the toy it nothing like opening a box cos you effectively have to take the packaging apart! I've done it quite carefully and I haven't damaged anything (other than cutting a lot of sticky tape).

How much was Spike?

Nevermind on the box for Grimlock. For a moment I thought the toy was displayed in robot mode.
