HOLY COW MAN, lol i thought i was bad for spending $650 in 4 days, but your spending makes me feel slightly better

In my defense, it was the buildup of about 5 months worth of purchases before I finally shipped the whole thing.

But yes, it does kinda become significant when they arrive in one lot like that.

I've really noticed how there's a correlation between TF spending has going up, and how active I am on this forum in the last couple of months. It's fueling my plastic crack addition!

That's pretty good spending-wise, considering you've got Green Giant in that PoL!

Sounds like you and I buy very similar items :-)

I'm waiting on
TFC#
04 Tracks
08 Inferno
10 Soundwave
13 Hot Rodimus

Took the seller 2 weeks after the auction was won to update them to shipped and now it's been almost 2 weeks since then. The waiting game sucks.

One star for shipping, possibly one star for description for not stating on the listing that he'll lag out the shipping?

Adding onto my wait list:

TRU Thundercracker Masterpiece MISB ($118 inc postage), I got impatient, and i worry i might not find it instore when it gets release locally so i decided to buy it from USA.

So, updated list of what i'm waiting to be delivered:
MP-06 Skywarp
MP-11 Starscream with coin
MP-11S Sunstorm with coin
GDO Ironhide Leaderclass
GDO Starscream Leaderclass
ROTF Megatron Leaderclass
TRU Thundercracker Masterpiece

This bundle cost me $883 and prior to this I had spent $510 on MP-02 Ultra Magnus, MP-01B Nemesis Convoy and MP-09B Black Rodimus Convoy.

Now that I reflect on how much I spent in the pass month (almost $1400) it almost makes me scream

Yes, that's probably the worst part about this board!

kind of gone off TFs recently, but have been getting into Super Sentai (power rangers) and since there is a mix of figs in this thread, I am waiting on figuarts
Kaizoku Sentai Gokaijer (Space pirate based rangers) Red, blue, green, silver, yellow and pink. Yellow and pink cost more than the others combined!! The power of women.

Just found out that Gokai Red's enemy Basco is a tamashii web exclusive and have organised that, and also found a Battle Fever Robo Chogokin that looks AWESOME!

Man, I am such a DORK!

I remember only a few years ago, someone told me that in Japan, BW Airazor was made into a male character, as they thought a female character would produce less sales
But then again, nowadays we do have anatomically correct dolls costing 1/5 of a new iPhone

I can't believe Japan derived that from Marvel's creations! The orange one on the left looks pretty cool

That's true. Airazar (JP version of Airazor) was voiced by Iwanaga Tetsuya (who sounds like this ).

I have a Soundwave Mighty Mugg with the spinning face gimmick coming from Amazon, been sitting in Sydney since 14th, supposed to be here by 22nd. I doubt it. Postal system is just rubbish atm. And in by no way do I blame the postal system. Massive increase in online purchases and they can't keep up. That and COVID.
