July Acquisitions

[griffin]

Picked up a package at the post office this morning, and didn't know what it was.
When I got home, it had the exclusive Prowl and Dreadwing/Darkwing toys that I had forgotten that I had even ordered...

I love the look of the Dreadwing pair. The colour is so vibrant. And they have the Gen2 logo painted on them. A nice homage to Gen2 original toys - something that BotCon failed to do with none of their toys homaging Gen2 original toys.

It's a nice coincedence to have TWO Gen2 homages this year from two unrelated sources. For such an uninspiring and unpopular series, this was a surprise.

An unrelated surprise...
I found this on ebay while looking for something else. Threw in a small bid, without expecting to win it, but was the only bidder.
They all appear to be Takara Micromasters, but the four-packs appear to be ones that weren't redecoed though (will still check them over to see if they are worth keeping). The real prize to me was the storage trailers, and the Original Sixwing. I'm not fussed about missing their parts either, as I have 2 of the 3 reissues (all 4 were different colours), and these would be displayed individually anyway.
Can't wait for them to arrive.

Great catch, Griffin. One of the other notable Micromasters there is Shotbomber (the white one with the two missiles on its back) from Sky Garry. Very cool!

Since I got Skygarry already, Shotbomber will be sold off, along with any others I don't want. It might even make cover the cost of the ones I keep.

But looking in Generations book, the storage trailers are a necessary componant for the base modes of Micromasters, and Skygarry's shuttle mode. And now I have some, it makes Skygarry feel complete.

TFA Longarm... I mean Shockwave today, courtesy of a Canadian ebay seller.

Always suprises me how much faster shipping is from Canada compared to from the USA.

I had a look into it, apparently Henkei Sideswipe is not meant to come with the jetpack. It's not even seen on the packaging and is confirmed so at tfwiki. Ah well, at least now I have both Sideswipe and Sunstreaker! Woohoo! Yeah!

Now time to get Universe Prowl, Silverstreak and Smokescreen!

Got these on Sunday just gone, only bothered to post them now lol.

Abominus head and a chest shield for Defensor thanks to Hurtsicon, and WST Thrust was a re-acquisition considering I thought I lost him, but found him in a box at my parents place
