I feel a bit daft making this monster post now. Finally had a chance to photograph them, my amalgamations for the month of August.
Man, I hope you guys like Jazz.

A European packaging variant of the Premium deluxe, from Norway! The "allspark power" backing card makes the toy really pop, it's so cool in person. Also Mr. May 2008 and yes,
I Can Read!. (I know some of you were a bit worried

The newest vintage additions to Party Central (cocktail napkins, essential!), plus a roller stamp in variant packaging, loose stamp bot variants and a Hasbro decoy.
This sounds kinda dumb, but I'm totally going to read "Peril from the Stars". I used to love choose your own adventure stories when I was a kid, I probably tried to write one about dragons when I was nine or something. Anyway, apparently it's really easy to get Jazz (and yourself) killed in the book. :/
Moving on...

Modern stuff. The botshots are from HTS. The TLS Vinyl is great! I'm so impatient to ship my POL to get the others. They're the perfect size and way better than mighty muggs in every way. He doesn't seem interested in holding his gun very well though.
I don't care much for Starscream, but that machine embroidery on the logo is amazing. Anyway, the real reason I bought the snapback is this:

It's so soft too.
