August Amalgamations

[tinyJazz]

Yep, it's a totally legit unproduced Attacktix Prowl test shot. Missing the missile, but who cares about that?

I'm absolutely thrilled to add this piece to my collection, and it's all thanks to TinyJazz. I'm indebted to her, and owe her BIGTIME. It all came about from her random act of kindness, and I'm so very grateful for that.

Cheers for TinyJazz!!

That there is a cool acquisition accompanied by a very cool acquisition story.
thanks for the read Cat, and kudos to TinyJazz.

You guys. I'm just glad it all worked out for you Cat.


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 .)
Guido Guidi did the interiors, and it would have been nice if they'd used his art on the cover instead of the creepy visor-less render. Kids and marketing, what can you do?



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.

Paid griffin a visit and picked up some extras:

Thanks griffin!

That's quite a lot of jazz!

[Ultra Mackness]

Wow, that roller stamp is an impressive pickup and really cool (just like Jazz!)

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

Loose Animated Voyager Blackout.

Sadly the only Voyager Springers and Blitzwings I saw were kinda pricey, but happily the colours on Springer look a lot better/less drab in person than they do in photos.

Awesome haul, TJ! When's the party?

[The_Black_Sheep]

So I was looking at my Alt/Binaltech/Alternity shelves & I realised that I had just enough room for one more - & it hit me - I needed a Grimlock! Since I already had an Alt Wheeljack, I decided to get my hands on a Binaltech Grimlock...







& now my shelves are officially full (there are 25 of them crammed in there )

*sniff* I miss having Red Alert.

Anyway, got Energise Blades the Chopper Bot today. Would've preferred the original deco, but I personally never saw it in stores (and I'm not a big enough fan of Rescue Bots to import them)

I found my Jazz stamp a couple of months back and thought "I wonder if TinyJazz would want this" and put it aside.

I recall Jazz being a bit creepy at the start of Peril from the Stars but can't recall how long it's been since I actually read it.
If it was less than 5 years ago, go to page 13. If it was more than 5 years ago, go to page 18.

Whoa! holy crap TinyJazz - That is one mammoth-sized, Jazz-themed haul!
I bet you were extremely excited to have all this slowly roll in over the month , mighty impressive dedication to a single character - I can certainly appreciate this.

Thanks Paul Is it the roller stamp? Because I'm still looking for a loose one.

I think it's funny how Jazz tends to creep on the humans a bit in the comics as well. Everyone's seen the panel in "Man of Iron" where he kidnaps a little kid, but the stuff on the page before. Man, I'm not surprised they sent him to the moon at the end of season 2!

Absolutely! It was a very exciting month, I probably checked my post box every two days. Cheers Hursti!
