Wrecker DoTM Leadfoot


finally! the wrecker trio is complete....

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.

Your First Aid looks much better than my First Aid!

Well, I finally should post pictures of my Grail

*snip*

Wow, you got it after all this time. A very BIG congratulations. Overlord is an awesome piece and I love the base mode, so much better compared to Scorpy/ BZ and Trypticon.

Picked these puppies up yesterday from Nakano Mandarake.



All have paperwork and very good condition.

oh gosh, so awesome! I like the Duocons!

And thanks dude (you know for what!)

After quite an abscence of posting acquisitions...

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).

Grats mate.

You got the G2 tpbs as well?

Then there's the UK stuff, including the Earthforce digests. And the upcoming GIJOE Classic volume 14 also reprints the JOE issues that jumpstarted G2.

Finally! REAL Acquisition. After a year of blehformers, I got me some genuine TF awesomeness. TF Prime RiD Wheeljack, Soundwave and Cliffjumper:







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.

Got transformers prime Wheeljack

[GoktimusPrime]

*sniff* Everyone's getting TF Prime Wheeljack 'cept me. Gah... totally my own fault. Saw all the TFPrime toys at TRU on Friday but decided to only get Soundwave cos I wanted to save some money just in case I needed it at the Parra Fair - and of course, I didn't - and by time I got to TRU, the Wheeljacks were gone!

Moral: You snooze you lose!

plus thanks to 1azrael1 for bringing my G2 green missle

That missile's strictly G1 dude. It wasn't part of the tail end G1 toys that got repackaged as G2 (aka "G1.5") -- those toys were only ever released as part of G1.

Nice going HD. Slag has sentimental value to me. Looks great in those colours, and with that shiny sword
