No missiles and slightly broken, but looks pretty cool after a good clean. :) Might have a crack at repairs and casting some missiles some time.

I just realised Skyquake edges out MP-10 now as the biggest individual transformer I own.

A good piece
why he is not in this years Botcon

Because Skyquake wasn't a Machine Wars or Beast Machines character? And he was already a BotCon toy in 2009? The Skyquake mould was used for Machine Wars Starscream and there are still over half a dozen BotCon 2013 figures yet to be revealed; MW Screamer could well be one of them.

I had one of those when I was a kid. I suspect it may have been a licensed release similar to "Shackwave" etc.

Prime Rumble because he looks like he belongs in Gurren Lagaaan.

Found the Kreon singles, got all bar Inferno and Insecticon. Got to hunt Inerno down, as he was the one I really wanted!

The AUTOBOT Invitational by Tom Whalen arrived today, it sure looks sharp! Now it has the long wait until I choose, save for, and buy a frame.

Fort Max!

I also had 2 used glass cabinets delivered but they are unfinished and I expect it to be another slow project..

Bought this today. Even though I am not a beast wars fan, he had a role in the Kiss Players manga as 'Kurohyo man' hence why I got him :D

Stupid reason but Im sticking to it :D:D

Generations springer is sensational. Awesome head mould. I think FP warbot may have seen the exit door. Its the perfect generations toy to join the cast of the 3rd season!

Blitwing is huge compared to the other classics line.

As for smokescreen - still in box and will stay there. Will open one day in many years to come.

Story of my life. :p

Then there's the G1 Acquisition Thread where I could actually post acquisitions on if that thread existed back the the 80s/early 90s! (oh, and the internet too :p Though uploading/viewing pics might take some time on my old 8k dial up modem ;) bee-bee-bee-bee-beep-beep-doop-doop ... bbbbbeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-sqweeeeeeeeeeeee ffffffffffrrrrssssssssssshhhhhhkkkkkkkrrrrrrssssss sssssshhhhhhh ... boo-doo boo-doo - I don't know what's worse; having your parents yell at you to get off the phone, or having someone cut off your connection because of an incoming call (unless you deactivate easycall... then your folks yell at you because you keep forgetting to reactivate it after logging off <grin>)).

After having some of the items sit in BBTS' warehouse for more than 2 years, I finally received my Pile of Loot late last week.

(Though they have a 180 day POL policy, it seems that's not enforced universally.)

So they've moved from being in storage at a warehouse, to being in storage at your house? :p Oh well, as long as you're enjoying 'em. :o :)

Just came back from overseas, didn't get to go out as I did before so not so much of a haul.

http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/b...ps44d79e5c.jpg

forgot to include in the pick the cassettrons 2 pack - Sundor and Rewind. Couldn't find the other 2. Decided not to buy FOC Grimy coz he looks like a big KO toy. Ill wait for it to go on sale. Im sure next year (when I come back there) it'll be cheap.
