TFA Longarm... I mean Shockwave today, courtesy of a Canadian ebay seller.

Always suprises me how much faster shipping is from Canada compared to from the USA. :confused:

I had a look into it, apparently Henkei Sideswipe is not meant to come with the jetpack. It's not even seen on the packaging and is confirmed so at tfwiki. Ah well, at least now I have both Sideswipe and Sunstreaker! Woohoo! Yeah!

Now time to get Universe Prowl, Silverstreak and Smokescreen!

Managing to squeeze in before the end of the month is a HUGE acquisition for me, plus some other figures acquired throughout the month of July.

A HUGE thanks to 1AZRAEL1 for holding on to this bloke for almost a year for me and allowing me to pay it off over time.
Scorponok is truly a big and cool figure and though Zarak's arm had been unfortunately broken off (glued back on tonight :p) and missing some bits and pieces, He is in great condition and I love him all the same. :D

I'm glad you've gotten a lot this month, cos July's kinda slow for me. Ah well, gives my wallet a break. :p But I actually got stuff today -- #5 of Nefarious and General Grievous/Starfighter for half price at TRU's sale! :D

I may just do that Liege, Zarak is currently in the repair bay though whilst his arm is being permanently die-cast welded to his torso. :p

I feel he's the best SWTF released in a long, long time. Probably my favorite since the Snowspeeder!

I wonder if it is something they did for the reissue, because my original Snaptrap has a fixed head, and the Club Seacons Snaptrap head would only move with a lot of force while the Piranacon head was attached (and still only moves 90degrees to its left. (I don't have the BW Seacons to check though)
Does anyone with an original Snaptrap, have a moving head, in case mine are just stiff from age?

Tell you what, I haven't checked if it could turn to the right... I'll let you know later.

EDIT: Later is already now and indeed, it only turns to the left with a lot of force. :)

My original G1 Snaptrap's head doesn't turn (either that or it's super-tight).

I'll have to check mine when I get home, never thought to try it before.

Also, I got a couple of things yesterday and I'll post them up later tonight.

And you're welcome Hursty :D

Got these on Sunday just gone, only bothered to post them now lol.

Abominus head and a chest shield for Defensor thanks to Hurtsicon, and WST Thrust was a re-acquisition considering I thought I lost him, but found him in a box at my parents place :D

Guess I must have been lucky. I haven't had any problems with Canadian sellers, either in terms of delivery time or non-arrival. I've bought comics and toys from there with no hassles.
Of course, now I have jinxed it :rolleyes:

Very nice Scorpy specimen! Some reprolabels and he's ready to take on the Autobots!

love Defensor. I remember how I disliked him when I was young cos he's so weak and 'useless'. Now Defensor is one of my fav combiners. The proportions are just so.... right.

And he comes with 2 guns :D

What I like as well, is the fact that the head is already attached to the main body, you just have to swivel it around. Unlike most G1 combiners where you just use a helmet to mask their inferior and small heads :p

Same. I tried but didn't want to force it. Kinda funny that Abominus' head can turn either way, or at least mine can. Hence why the photo I took of him makes him look cooler :p
