    My new favourite PCC. Grimstone looks nice, but this guy has thumbs! The first time I transformed him I was like "ooooo moveable thumbs"


    Meanwhile, Starscream does not approve of the proliferation of KOs

    Thanks dude. Believe it or not I got him from TRU Parra! They must've gotten in a new shipment after Sunday - but that was the last Wheeljack there and there was just one Soundwave left. Clearly these two are selling like hotcakes - little wonder considering that they're the only two original characters who didn't feature in First Edition (I suspect atm it's mostly collectors scooping up most TFP figures rather than kiddies).

    No other acquisitions though.
    Glad to see your back Aqua, it has been a bit quiet on your front; Sorry to hear that you've also ended up in the waiting situation with regards to Hercules - From the reviews I've seen mate it'll be well worth waiting though.

    I hear you dude, I want the Soundwave Kreon but not Sentinel Prime...; Congratulations on the sets though.
    (How much has Sentinel Prime been reduced by and where? )

    Very very pleased and envious to see those Beast Wars acquisitions dude, you got a stupidly good deal with that lot!

    A very very nice score with that price for Highbrow Odie, he'd sell like hotcakes on eBay at that price and Hursty would be there for 1 easily!

    Argh! - I'm finding it very hard to avoid laying down cash for a Hasbro version... He calls out to me without making a single audible nuance and it's excruciating!
    Congrats though mate, being short-packed to 1x per case is ridiculous and makes the acquisition all the more special considering he's B'n'M bought.

    And there is nothing better than a gift-former. Yesterday a few of my Y12 students from last year were waiting at my office door to say hi, thanks, oh and by the way here's jetwing optimus prime for you!! (They also gave me a "world's biggest nerd medal" but I forgave them because of optimus!)
    Those are 2 extremely cool acquisitions regardless of physical stature dude and what a hell of a parting gift from your (Now) ex-students dude, clearly you struck a cord with them.

    TF Myclones Bumblebee, Soundwave and Rodimus

    which completes my myclone of the regular mass release - only have the chase figures to look for - Thundercracker, Red Alert and Dirge

    *snip*
    Ooh!
    Congratulations Liege, quite the milestone and topped off with the best one of all too!

    FE Prime (Hasbro Canada version)
    Congrats Zippo, that Canadian FE Prime wouldn't have been cheap I imagine but I know someone who'd be more than willing to give that Soundwave a home should you no longer want him.

    Clearly that is what happens when taking the kids out for a night on NY, well done!

    Eventually Tomahawk will be repainted into an Odieverse Rotorstorm.
    That sucks to hear man, especially on the Dinobot front; I reckon the 2 pack of Seekers makes up for that loss however.

    Here is the Tomy Takara (Hasbro Japan) Encore reissue of the Decepticons Constructicons.

    Maketoys Tanker.

    *snip*

    MP Optimus Prime.

    Last but not least, DOTM Soundwave.

    Thanks to JayDisc for Devastator, Maketoys Tanker and MP Optimus Prime and thanks to Griffin for Soundwave!
    Well Mr. Ed, it would seem to me that you've exceeded in making up for said lack of acquisitions!
    That is a very impressive haul indeed, congrats man!

    Oh that is a nice haul there Gamblor!
    It's very cool seeing both Scourges there, as with Sandstorm and Wreckgar - Gee that TF: Prime Wheeljack is quite popular too eh?

    I'm very happy to of been able to contribute to your collection in such a way dude, I'm glad your happy with it dude.

    Stature means nothing dude, that's quite a good haul dude as the Predator jet looks to be in fairly decent nic for what I've seen that particular one in over the years; You've also managed to acquire one of the hardest to find (& sometimes rather expensive) Micromasters too in Rollerforce!

    and was happy to find under my doormat this

    *snip*

    Ive completely forgotten Ive managed to buy the last TPB I needed from Amazon. It took a while to get here (1 month) but Im happy to finally get the complete marvel series (TPB) ... I'll keep searching for a better Darkstar TPB though

    plus thanks to 1azrael1 for bringing my G2 green missle

    Edit and Addit:

    Postie just buzzed a while ago after posting this so ill just add my latest haul from ebay from Japan - thanks to a Mr Hiro Sato ( how Jap is that name - so cool! oh and it only took a week to get here, sweeeet.

    Wrecker DoTM Leadfoot

    *snip*

    finally! the wrecker trio is complete....
    I reckon you did rather well with that lot from the Fair dude, those Protectobots look to be in absolutely excellent condition IMO.
    A massive congrats for completing the Titan Books US Marvel G1 Comic Reprint TPBs dude; onto the UK volumes now, yes?
    Also, congrats on acquiring all the DOTM Wreckers in Deluxe dude; It's such a shame that Hasbro just couldn't manage a whole set in any size class with all of their weapons out or in - I think Marketing must've fudged that one.

    Prime FE Voyagers Bulkhead and Prime arrived this week. Also deluxe bumblebee. I love the three of them, but Buklhead has been bittersweet. His inner chest panel (the one that his vehicle-hood sections connect to) was warped in the packaging. I can't see how it could have happened, unless it was from heat, but the rest of the toy is fine, so who knows? It isn't noticeable in robot mode unless you're really trying to find it, because it's hidden beneath the rest of his chest. His vehicle mode on the other hand is literally a wreck... the bonnet doesn't close together at all, so it looks like he ran into the back of a truck or something, lol.

    I can laugh (kinda) about it now but when I first transformed him and saw what was going on I was pretty shattered. He looks fine in bot mode, so he'll just have to be a non-transforming transformer.
    I might still see if I can pick up a Takara version from somewhere without paying with my kidneys.

    Also, I don't know why this Bumblebee receives so much flack, I found him to be a great figure with a satisfying transformation. His feet are on the large side, but I think he's going to be my definitive post-G1 Bumblebee.
    Oh, except his face... I'm going to get one of the newer heads with the lighter silver and swap it out.
    Congrats Jinto, sorry to hear about your FE Bulkhead having a warped chest panel though dude as that'd frustrate me.

    I'm very happy to share that I recently acquired the (very?) rare "Canadian Slag". I've been after this guy for years and have recently with the help of friends, found a seller who was selling it (thanks! you know who you are).

    *snip*

    The full story and more photos here.
    Ooh!
    Now you don't see one of those everyday; congratulations HD, I'll have to give your blog a read on this guys later as he wouldn't have been easy to track down I imagine.

    These are tonnes smaller than I expected but the detail and engineering is beyond that of the DotM line. Not a bad wave so far with only some posing problems due to odd joints, otherwise, am absolutely stoked so far.
    Congratulations Stompy, yet another TF: Prime Soundwave acquisition... Argh!

    I think you made the right decision too dude as we'll likely get charged 15 odd $$ knowing our retailers, that's the entire 1st wave yeah?

    Hehe, cheers Jinto; I was absolutely amazed when I stumbled upon it on eBay and I ended up being the only person to bid on it... 3 times!

    Congratulations Crankcase; whilst this acquisition is good, I think it pales in comparison to your acquisition on this Sunday just gone by.

    Woah wait! - Are you saying theres a PCC figure with actual hands Snakey!?!
    (Close to it anyway )

    Hmm, your seekers seem t be multiplying quite a bit lately; I think they need to avoid those counterfeit massage parlours.

    Oh dude, Sharky; That is a sweet acquisition dude in the G2 Comic, I wish I had kept my copy I had as a kid as the artwork is really cool IMO - Good thing they're reprinted in TPB form, just got to get the 2nd and last one.

    Also, congrats on the sweet TF: Prime haul dude ; said voucher definitely would've made things easier but seeing yet another Soundwave isn't doing so for me...

    I love how you never do anything half-arsed Liege , that is a damn large haul man and I love your choices for the height comparison!
    (All this talk about Soundwaves just makes me think of how incomplete my collection is...)

    • '07 Movie (Deluxe), Decepticon - Barricade (w/ Red variant Frenzy?)
    • Armada (Minicon), Race Team - Dirt Boss
    • Mini Statue (Attacktix?) - G1 Soundwave (Adding to my Soundwave Collection, see here )
