Transformers Brags - What's your latest buys

[Phill]

Got the RTS Windcharger scout.

The Tesco I got him from had about 8 on the shelf and only 1 or 2 other scouts. I've got a funny feeling that someone in Tesco was hiding them, and someone else put them out, because a single box normally wouldn't have more than 3 of the same figure in it.

can't wait for the hasbro release as he is gonna be 'just' Hot Rod but with a load of his own 'bling' awesome

It's good to hear that he's showing up. Are people like me going to be missing much by going for the hasbro version or is the trailer just a big box with an extra windscreen?

Not being funny but the trailer was the one thing that impressed me the most about the toy when i saw in him person and had a chance to transform him.
I haven't bought one yet, but I wouldn't hesitate to get the version with the trailer when i do.

Really? Just watched Optibomus' review of MP-09 and he wasn't too impressed - the faults he highlighted were quite glaring in fact =/

A few things from today's hunt:
Robot Heroes Hound, Blitzwing, Sunstreaker and Galvatron half price at TRU
RPMs Skids and Mudflap also half price at TRU
HFTD Rescue Ratchet, full price unfortunately, but I love my rescue Ratchets.
and Reveal the shield Tracks from tesco, no Jazzes unfortunately, and thanks to me no more Tracks's in that store.
Nearly picked up The battle in space two pack - that Rodimus is much nicer in person than in photgraphs, though that may just be because you can't see his windscreen in the box.
I figure that two packs like that tend to go down in price at somepoint, it's merely a question of whether I can resist for that long.

RTS Jazz and Tracks.................. just when I thought I was out........ Minion drags me back in

[Phill]

RTS Perceptor and Wreck-Gar from Kapow, they're in Euro packaging, which I feel a bit let down by, seeing as I paid the price they normally charge for the US ones.

[Brawn]

My first ever g1 Gears and Huffer!

Gears is actually pretty awesome.

Give Andy an email about it, it seems that the packaging in some lines is no longer region specific and I know for a fact that he got a buttload of 'American' packaging ones through European stock recently.

I'm not a MISB'er so it doesn't really matter, but it woulda been nice to know about the packaging. Diamond are shipping Wave 2 RTS out now, and they're likely to be in Tescos and such in the next week or 2. Will be annoying to see them cheaper.

That's kinda the first thing I thought when I saw your original post.

RTS Chopsaw - I was sold on his little bio about not being motivated about power or greed, but purely by his love of chopping stuff up. I was surprised to find that he is a cracking little toy. Love the transformation, and the bike mode is really nice.

Kudos in the tfwiki bio for the Running Man quote. Makes him even more awesome!

[phantomfish]

RTS Wreck-Gar, Perceptor and G2 Optimus from Kapow
RTS Strafe and Crossover Ironman from KingGrimmy
HFTD Battle Ops Bumblebee (finally!) and Rotorwash Rumble (Tailwhip and Arcee) from eBay

RTS Mindset and Tracks

Both I am really impressed by. I wish Mindset's missiles were shorter though, as they look pretty stupid in robot mode. Tracks is also so much better than his product images led me to believe.

[Sharp-O]

Not really a buy but I was given Armada Blurr and Energon Unicron. Unicron is mostly complete and in fairly good nick but is missing the clips or pegs you need to attach the rings and hemisphere kibble onto his back. I think there's a minicon stuck in his leg compartment too but I can handle that.



Eeeeeee! I have a Unicron! Happy happy!

Generations Skullgrin and Kup.
Cracking toys especially Kup who I am not a fan of as a character (old man complainy Kup sucks, IDW Nick Fury Kup rules). I was also dead impressed with Skullgrin and he was definitely worth the purchase considering I already own Darkmount/Straxus

Masterpiece Rodimus - my thoughts in the other discussion thread.
