I really want this figure. Why is it so disappointing? Especially when people want such high prices for him.

mp-05g arrived today :) i love it the gold looks awesome , though they used gold plastic for all the fidly bits in his legs ( everything else is gold paint ) so i really hope they fixed the issues with gps !!
Picked up TT Legends Whirl and Roadbuster from tfidownunder today, very happy customer, art is great, boxes are sweet, still debating whether to open pr not, especially whirl looks awesome in package. Always drooled over these as a kid in the top right corner of the fold out catalog you got, and thats why I went with the TT versions for their colouring. Had a nice long chat too (picked up in person) about a lot of things, great guy!
I had the hasbro version, I hate the boney lookin hands, and had no issues quality wise or with the knee break (not sure if previous owner modified it, but i certainly didnt), was a um, fiddly transformation and car is a bit off with all the panels and fitting, and since i loved his car mode that's how i wanted to display him but he's big next to a datto/lambo... So if i get h again it will definitely be the *cough* most liekyl ko *cough* rodimus to display in RV mode, and a black one for my decepticon shelf to display in car mode, since it wont have another car to look huge next to.
But they're quite low on my list, because as pthers say, he's just kinda 'disappointing'.
So this is December so far...

And still more to come. Managed to pick up some random G1 pieces that I already have so I will post them up on my Pay It Forward thread shortly.
I've used spares from TF:Prime legions, as well as some Shapeways ones.
I'd highly recommend this blaster pair for Steeljaw, and these chain guns for Bumblebee
Where did you get the YOTH screamer?
Generations Combiner Wars for me today. All four Deluxes and the two Voyagers. They do look nice :)
Some Christmas shopping for my kids, plus Octopunch & Longtooth for me.
Only 1 more G1 figure to go :D :D

Been waiting for someone to do a comparison myself
I don't have Hasbro versions to compare
Whirl
Roadbuster
Some pics showing color diffs in robot mode, I personally prefer the Takara ones (left side) for more g1 pale blue of whirl and the chest/thighs on roadbuster.
As for deliveries, picked up a loose MP Thundercracker, prompting me to now pre-order TT MP Skywarp.
RiD2015 Legion Class Steeljaw
The only TF related item from my recent trip to Japan.

Pretty decent for $5 for the two. :)
Thundercracker where from? ebay?
RiD2015 Legion Class Bumblebee and Strongarm
Generations Arcee. Runs about the same size as MP Bumble, so looks decent on a shelf atm. :)
Holy crap! My MP Ultra Magnus arrived today! :o
:eek: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y22...pitdrink-1.gif :eek:
So much for the December 27 release date! Great news for you though, Bumbleb33! :D
Non TF, but scales nicely with DOTM leader Bumblebee.

EVA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh man, what a Christmas present that would be.
That chick could do sooo many bad things to me and i would still be happy.....
Anyway, back on topic.
Picked up MP Bumblebee from TRU today. My local had a 20% store wide on a single purchase so it brought it down to a very reasonable $79.
Under the tree it goes, now to play the waiting game.
At about 10 o'clock this morning, mine arrived too! Woo Hoo! :D

My pre-Xmas TF goodies:
Kids Logic: Soundwave
Crossovers: Star Wars Clone Turbo Tank
Misc: Kinder Surprise Transformers Box (24 eggs) & Autobot Auto Sunshade
http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/...ps477a46c2.jpg
Notes:
*The Kinder Suprise Box was an early Xmas gift from the missus parents who run an IGA - since I only have Starscream and 2 Bulkheads I'm gathering I'll finally find the other 6 characters :)
*I found the Star Wars Transformer at an outlet place for $8 :eek::D:eek:
Can't post pics atm, but my POL from BBTS arrived today just in time for Christmas! In the boxes were:
Generations Jetfire
Generations Windblade
Generations Crosscut
And
:):):) Encore 23: Fortress Maximus :):):)
The big guy is on clearance at BBTS and I managed to snag him before the AUD tanked too much! Merry Christmas to me :D
