May things-n-bits

First up is Rodimus. I've never had a previous version of this mold and despite its age being very visible it is still a great figure. The over the top cartoon paint scheme just makes the figure even better than his dull forbears.

I prefer the colours on the original Classics Rodimus and in some ways find the BiS colours more dull (e.g. no flame decos on the doors). But I guess that's a matter of personal preference. My main gripe about the colour scheme on this repaint is the non-transparent windows, because the driver's compartment on this mould has a lot of lovely details sculpted in which you just can't see because you can't see through the windows. (unless you physically remove the canopy -- but there's otherwise no way to view by default).

Anyway, picked up RtS Windcharger for myself and a Generations Scourge for jazzcomp.

An RK order came today - united activator Cliffjumper and a stealth lockdown/legends bbee and optimus set.

Picked up Cyberverse Powerglide and Bumblebee Cyberverse playset. Much happier with the Bumblebee set then the Starscream set, which is odd because I liked the Starscream one better.
Also put the last 5 Generations toys on layby along with the first 4 commander? HA DOTM toys.
I'm not buying anything for a while

Thanks to the sighting from Mr Optics, I have now completed the missing pieces for the final wave of Generations I also picked up what could possibly be my only DOTM toy.



I read his post when I got home at about 9 PM after spending the whole day at the zoo. Luckily, Blacktown Kmart is 24 hrs.

Lemme guess, you got Scourge from the same Kmart. They actually pulled all their Generations stock off the shelf after they realised they didn't scan. I literally had to jump through hoops just so they would release some of their stock to me which they hid out the back in a trolley. The whole process took about 40 mins speaking to floor staff, front desk staff, then finally the duty manager who realised I wasn't going to leave his store without them. In other words, if anyone else is thinking of getting these from Blacktown Kmart, good luck.

Was up till 3am this morning and I clearly wasn't thinking straight because I woke up this morning to find I have just purchased, Universe Drag Strip, Onslaught and Hasbro Animated Rodimus Minor off ebay!

Mmm, yeah, it's a fair call on the loss of the cabin detail but compared to the brick red of the original I strangely find myself not complaining.

Plus, it's cheap now compared to the other releases!

My first (and likely only) acquisition of the month (which is courtesy of dirge):

Rhino Transformers Season 3 Part 2/Season 4 DVD set.
