February Acquisitions.

2 ebay wins in a row, this is amazing, I can't remember the last time this has happened. G1 Horri-Bull £18.00 + £7.20(registered) postage and now Squeeze play for £31.00. He was sitting on £18.00 but someone else decided to have a go. Oh well it's from the same seller so hopefully he hasn't sent the other one off yet so I can save on postage. WOOHOO only £1.00 in extra postage to put the items in the same package.

I just picked up my 600th Transformer: Supreme Cybertron Starscream new in box from Ebay for the delightfully evil total price of $66.60

Yeah, it would have been great if this was my 666th Transformer but I couldn't find 66 other Transformers to buy yesterday

I also got a bunch of other toys in today from one seller that averaged out to $16 a figure:

G1: Swindle
Beast Wars: Terrorgator, Bantor, Transquito
Beast Machines: Longhorn
Armada: Hotshot, Sideswipe, Blurr
Energon: Ironhide, Insecticon, Snowcat, Hotshot
Universe: Treadshot
and a Walmart exclusive Universe Dinobot Sludge, which I never knew existed until I saw it listed for sale.

(also some stowaway from Eternia that sets totally unrealistic body expectations for young men...)

Courtesy of Unca Iceburn for the last two. And they round out Ultra Magnus' team. I've been waiting for Ultra Magnus for a long time. As soon as I got him all the others that have been sitting in packaging came out immmediately. And I also found the repaint to really work. The shade of gray is less dull than Prime's gray and the light bright blue makes him seem a little different. The purple windows didn't quite warm to me at first but they really do work well once you transform it once or twice. The shade of blue for the armour is also really nice. They look lovely as a team.

I'm calling them:
- Skyblast
- Cliffjumper
- First Aid (I don't really see the need for a "Rescue Ratchet", movie ratchet is movie ratchet!)
- Ultra Magnus
- Warpath
- Evac
- Air Raid

I do find that renaming and being able to form a good looking squad really helps to invigorate the collecting. Otherwise I'd would've hated Nightwatch Prime, Cliffjumper and Rescue Ratchet. It gives repaints some meaning and interest. I felt an overwhelming sense of joy when I found Nightwatch Prime cos it meant I had Ultra Magnus and I could complete my 2nd Autobot TFM team. Anyone else do that?

Curse you STL and your ability to make me want repaints. Come on, REPAINTS?!

I do love the second Autobot team, I may have to steal the concept. I would change up the characters used though, I mean, I like Ratchet but I can't stand the thought of owning Rescue Ratchet. Maybe I'll go with Nightwatch Prime (Well, I like the Ultra Magnus rename there), Cliffjumper, Big Daddy, Grindcore, Evac and a couple scouts. I love the concept man, brilliant.

Now to go find these damned repaints. I think it's time to clear out the collection a little.

Over the past few days:
- Ultra Magnus (IE. Nightwatch Prime) at the awesome price of $70!
- Evac: he's my Mr. 1000! Woot!
- Warpath
I'm calling them:
- Skyblast
- Cliffjumper
- First Aid (I don't really see the need for a "Rescue Ratchet", movie ratchet is movie ratchet!)
- Ultra Magnus
- Warpath
- Evac
- Air Raid

Nice one STL.. I was confused for awhile about who was Ultra Magnus, it's really an interesting concept. But then again even before this, I was gonna buy Nightwatch Prime anyway, can't resist the Autobots and I told iceburn I might get Desert Brawl too since I didnt have the green one.. And I so regretted not getting Evac from Singapore, with the exchange rate, he was gonna be much cheaper.

Hasbro should've renamed it as a different character instead of relying on fans to do it - as admirable as the idea is, sadly it will never be canonically official for that toy, which sucks. :/

I personally don't see it as Ultra Magnus as Ultra Magnus was never a blue truck cab - but that's just me. As much as some people complain about all the white-Prime Magnus repaints, they are "G1 accurate" because G1 Magnus' cab was indeed white.

If they'd called it Sentinel Prime, I'd scoop it up - especially considering that Sentinel Prime is blue in Animated!
