The 3rd party acquisitions thread!

[SuspectimusPrime]

Wow, dude, nearly spewed my coffee when I saw your pic

That's one BIG pile... 4 figures in value as well! Some very nice pieces in there.

Surprised to see that Code's box is taller than Assaulter, even though he's a significantly smaller figure.

Thanks dude I haven't had a chance to open Code yet but Assaulter is the second heaviest out of that lot. So if the Warbot boxes were originally designed to facilitate Assaulter, perhaps one of the Function-X line may be a bigger figure too (fingers crossed for not-Skullcruncher!).

I like your tastes in robots And box arrangement

I like your tastes in robots And box arrangement

haha thought you might

I already had the 3 triple changers from amazon a while back and wasn't interested in the newer battle tanker since i have the original and same with the ultimate giftset.

the only one i really want is assaulter but i was waiting on another warbot bundle from FPcore since i missed out. Since getting the new Springer though, not interested in Defender anymore so I just need to wait for them to rerelease Steelcore and Assaulter.

but yeah i was very much looking forward to my POl when i saw yours

finally managed to track down a Rage of Hercules set so I caved and got the Hercules team.



Vehicle modes are cool in the Construction vehicles are cool kind of way.



Robot modes are neat and lots of fun gimmicks to occupy the hands.



And of course combined mode is where Hercules shines..there is some fiddling to find the right spot to make him stand and getting everything just right proved annoying but my god is it an impressive toy.

Also pictures seem to make the purple parts look blue but it is honest to god Constructicon Green and Purple.

Oops, I guess some of my latest haul should technically be posted in here.

Forgive me for doubling up, I'm not retaking photos or retyping. Mesa tired and lazy.

Listing just the third party stuff out of this:



In this pile of stupidity and general disappointment (exaggerating, some stuff should be neat):

Transforming Collections book by Phillip Reed. I wasn't planning on getting this, but decided I'd rather spend the money and shelve it with my reference books than not get it.

Gears Of War Upgrade Set - I bought this solely for the shoulder launchers for Mirage, Sideswipe, and Red Alert. If anyone wants the other parts, like a ladder for Inferno, an ?Auto-Scout? and whatever else is in here, LMK and I'll give a really good deal to get rid of it.

I stocked up on WSTF's to eventually bulk out my Metroplex display. I got: Hot Rod - he's real, I believe

The rest are HeroesToys ones - G2 Starscream
G2 Ramjet
Sunstorm
Thundercracker
Skywarp
Dirge
G1 Ramjet
Sideswipe
Launcher and gun for Red Alert
Deep Cover
Tiger Track
Assemble-Yourself kits of a clear red and a clear black Bumblebee. Should be a bit of fun to mix and match.


*Yes, I kinda screwed up by buying a heap of Seekers when my goal was to display them with Metroplex. Oops.

Anyone need stuff from the Gears Of War set?

I didn't know that the Gears set included a Mirage hologram effect.

It's hilariously silly.

It is, just a foldup plastic translucent amber rectangle... I was amused at first but it takes up space when assembled so had to fold it. cant remember where I put it though :P

KFC ironpaw



+ Really impressed with the transformation of this guy.
+ looks great
+ fits in with masterpiece cassettes
+ mouth articulation
+ guns built into transformation
= plastic quality is not terribly cheap
= roughly 2mm wider in cassette mode but not an issue for me
- lack of paint apps
- some super tight joints requiring a knife to transform
- some loose joints

Overall a great addition to my masterpiece collection and a great update to a personal G1 fav

Really wish Hasbro would take kfc ironpaws and rhinohorns transformation and release official versions of these 2
