I couldn't get Starscream's base to work for the life of me.



Although there's a lot of stuff here, there were actually quite a few hard decisions. Did I want Whirl or Sandstorm? Should I complete my Dark Energon collection, or improve my First Edition Collection? What "special" item was I going to get to cap things off, the Power Rangers set, YOTH Optimus, YOTH Starscream, or maybe a Marvel Legends series? In the end I'm glad I chose the toys I did as they were all very high quality.

The biggest disappointment in the lot was Megatron, who is sadly floppy, but that just makes me look forward to the rumoured leader class Generations Megatron. The first to break was Terrorcon Cliffjumper, but I was able to repair. The weirdest toy was Whirl, but I'm glad I got him as his... uniqueness makes him more fun than Sandstorm, IMO. The best TF was Rhinox, and my overall favourites are him, the new Flash, Captain Cold from the same set, and the Samurai Rangers.

Hopefully you'll be seeing these guys again soon when I post up some collection pics in the next few days!

Hasbro MP Soundwave and friends, thanks to the wonderful valkyrie_76. Oh my God SW looks beautiful, can hardly wait to mess with him but it's late and I want to really be able to enjoy him.
DotM Space Case, also thanks to valkyrie_76.
Loose Beast Hunters Ripclaw, for ~$10. Thanks to whoever sold off their loose Western Beast Hunters collection to Hero Gangu. She's pretty solid.

Also a whole bunch of non-TF stuff, most notably a queen for my growing Alien hive.

So much for 'no more TF purchases for a while'... At least they were all cheap this time.

Loose TF GO! Smokescreen.
Human Alliance Reverb, Backfire, and Thunderhead, completing my collection of HA Scouts. Not going to bother with the larger HA figures or the repaints.
