    Not very exciting. $10 off my 12 year-old. Always sorta wanted this, more for the character though cause this is not a great toy.

    That toy did make a pretty good repaint (well, for some)

Because I was 16 at the time and my parents thought I should have outgrown toys when I turned 10, I had to sneak it inside the house. There was no way I was going to pass up the opportunity to buy it, regardless of what anyone thought.
    The Golden years of the toy hunt, it's rarely that exciting these days. though it's been a long time since I was part of a school excursion.

    I've always quite liked that mold, the transformation tries something different, and some of it turns out well, some not so well. while there's not a massive amount of articulation in the legs in robot mode, I think the Alt mode is really expressive, as long as you don't gank it up with the weapon.

    The weapon certainly does look out of place on Grimlock's back, but on Overkill it's almost right! If only they gave him a second one, and both were all chromed-up, and were able to attach onto his sides

    it's been awhile since I've had a TF haul as epic as this, which by the way is caused by your neglected BBTS Pile Of Loot shipping automatically. And my TRU buddy was FINALLY able to snag me an MP Optimus.




    SO we have TRU Masterpiece Optimus Prime, Masterpiece Lambor, TF Prime Airachnid, Rumble, Dead End, Kup, TF Prime First Edition Entertainment pack and Vehicons and Mattel Voltron Classic Black lion (Combined with his fellow lions in all their massive brightly coloured plastic glory) All right, he's not a Transformer buy my god. it's epic. All really, REALLY awesome toys. I wasn't expecting Lambor to be so small,but I love Sideswipe, and he is pretty awesome.
    Airachnid is nowhere near as awful as people have said,but the hands do suck. The only one that dissapointed me was Kup. Kup is TINY. Frustratingly so. So much so that i pray to toy jesus that they won't repaint him as ironhide but rather give us an Ironhide voyager (which is highly unlikely due to Beast Hunters.)

    but all in all an epic haul of giant Transforming robot goodness.

    I love Classic Grim's alt mode, it has and articulated tail and you can either have him 80's T-rex stomper with the tail dragging on the ground, or you can have him 90s onwards, balancing act with tail in the air. Brilliant!

    I am gonna cheat with this one.

    Got these in the post, and coz I am lazy, group shot in different threads!



    My G2 Comabticons arrived today! Haven't had tome to scope them in TRU, so this is my first close look an I like so far. Artwork on the box is brill. Now to find ways to buff him up...

    Where was that picture again?



    Edit, just went out to the shops for some wrapping paper, and got this as well.

    Aaaw, what a cutie

    Recieved a MIB Encore Sky Lynx today from an eBay seller (and I suspect it was an OTCA member - so if I'm right, thanks again!!).

    Was never interested in owning this guy when I was a kid but now I've got him in hand, I don't mind him.
