Goldbug and Trailbreaker have finally started to show up in my local area, as have the rest of the RTS Legends figures and at $6.64 each They're a bargain!!! ;):cool:
I grabbed Soundwave for 2 reasons, 1. He is Soundwave :p, 2. He was $2.98!!! :eek::D
Very strangely, my local Big W has restocked in ROTF Legends figures and stupidly, apart from Soundwave, they're all the ones that have Peg-Warmed for over a year now - Who the hell do they employ to manage the Toy Departments around here?:confused::rolleyes:

i've had my eye on another gen1 misb jet "dirge"... and my wife has just offered to get it for me for my b'day!

So this is what happens when Target has a sale + not a lot of items to choose from + too much disposable income:

Thanks Autocon.
A Reveal The Shield Battle In Space pack, A slightly Dyslexic Grapple and one slightly less than glorious Lugnut from Target. He's neat but there seems to be a 2 milimetre thick section of cockpit missing. Not entirely sure If I should take it back or just ignore it as he'll be spending most of his time in bot mode. And Yes, this is another instance of Shoddy QC for me in the Reveal The Shield line.
Here's a pic-
From yesterday:

I caved in and bought the Battle In Space pack on special at Target. :p I might keep Cyclonus as "Armada"... undecided about Rodimus (might keep him so I can display one in vehicle mode).
I haven't opened the toys yet (I opened it up and took the comic out to read it, which was the main reason for getting this set... boy was that disappointing (-_-)) -- so I'm not sure if the Matrix comes with a chain to sling around someone's neck (like Galvatron II did). If it does then I'll put it on my Universe Galvatron's neck... if not then I'm not sure if I want to keep it. :/
Like probably everyone else bought Battle In Space pack, I much prefer the purple they have used for Cyclonus from the original Hasbro release. ;)
another box waiting today inside was some more Machine Wars
Sandstorm and Soundwave with unused paperwork and inserts and everything
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...20110303sm.jpg
and then a large envelope in the mail box with the backing cards for
Actionmaster Jazz
Actionmaster Blaster
Actionmaster Bumblebee
Actionmaster Mainframe
Actionmaster JAckpot
Actionmaster Devastator
Actionmaster Krok
and Chainclaw Techspecs
My sealed United arrived from Japan
http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...2011Haul01.jpg
Got in the mai,l Mindset ( which is actually a good figure), Fallback, Tracks and Jazz which are both awesome on their own.
BIS pack for $29 :)
Still giddy with excitement over todays haul! :p While Universe Inferno didn't do a lot for me, I reeeally dig United Grapple. The head sculpt is so much nicer, the shade of orange used is spot on (glad they didn't go brighter/darker) and that crane is a monster!! Very cool toy, highly recommended.

Universe Cosmos was next to be de-carded and once again I'm really impressed. Like the Classics seeker mold, the execution of updating a G1 toy was nailed 100%. He's up there with Legends Wheelie (both versions) & the recent Megatron for me. A must have!

The last two purchases were made on my lunch break today (yesterday for you east-siders), those being RTS Cyclonus & Hot Rod and Legends Goldbug. Rather than post a pic of Cyclonus himself, here's all three Cycloni right before they combine to form...Triclonus! If you get just one Cyclonus, get this one I reckon!
http://i661.photobucket.com/albums/u.../triclonus.jpg
Goldbug wishing he was more gold and less 'sparkly mustard'
http://i661.photobucket.com/albums/u...83/goldbug.jpg
they should make a green Grapple repaint for Classicsverse Hauler. ;)
I like both. Universe Cyclonus' darker purple is more G1 toy-accurate and thus more like the way he was (usually) coloured in the G1 comics. Also, Cyclonus was coloured in a darker purple in the fourth season of the US cartoon when he became a Targetmaster - so really, for Targetmaster Cyclonus the Universe colour is more show-like too. RtS Cyclonus' colours ("mid" purple) are quite accurate to his colours in Transformers The Movie, but I think Henkei Cyclonus' colours (more lavender) are more accurate for Season 3.
Reference piccies
Cyclonus in Transformers The Movie
Cyclonus in Season 3
Targetmaster Cyclonus in Season 4
Cyclonus in the G1 comics
I like RtS Cyclonus because he does have the TFTM colours, but more appealing for me is the lack of mismatching colours on the thighs which was a problem with Universe Cyclonus. RtS Nightstick's colours also beat Universe Nightstick's colours hands down.
I was disappointed that the Matrix didn't come with a neck chain (I would've loved to have hung it around Universe Galvatron's neck), but I was impressed that it's shinier than New Year Convoy's matrix. :)
Heroic Decepticon and I met and purchased a few items
Generations Thundercracker
Generations Wheeljack
Generations Kup
Generations Scourge
Also found a Henkei Jetfire
and Device label Soundwave...
was going to take a pic but in process of moving so place looks like a bomb!

Huzzah!! Team is coming together!!!
Hazaa!!! :D:D:D
RTS Legends - Megatron :cool:
I agree, I saw (in Deceptic Optics collection) the black head version and it looks so much better, the Black tends to end the monotonous orange color of the figure and makes it more interesting, the UNited all orange version kinda looks dull. Though I wish somebody put some chroming effort to the hook :(:(, ah well looks like Ill be painting this figure when I get one.
