The "Look At What I Just Got!" Thread

Symbiote · 01-21-2013, 04:15 PM

Nice I starscream is just sitting in my POL on bbts. Once those mu three packs get released, I'm shipping my loot.

It'd be cool to have all three seekers. They got to do a thundercracker repaint.

They did the same with the deluxe DOTM Starscream mold, which sucks. What was even worse is that DOTM Thundercracker was released at retail in North America. I just couldn't justify the import costs for Skywarp, even though he is actually my favorite of the Seekers and it would have completed the set.

Looks like the same thing will probably happen with the FOC mold now.

I guess it couldn't hurt to see the prices on it, though.

Yeah, the DOTM mold is pretty crappy. I picked up that Thundercracker and the classics one for $5 each on clearance. It's an easy repaint so I feel like bringing them to America would be a no brainer, but I'm not a toy exec so what do I know...

I picked up the ROTF Voyager Class Skywarp WalMart Exclusive back when it was on clearance like two years ago. Pretty Bada$$, but very loose. I'm praying that they bring out that Skywarp for the FOTC line here in the US, along with Thundercracker. I got the DOTM Thundercracker for Xmas from my wife and I actually like him alot next to my DOTM Starscream from that line. I haven't done my research yet, but when are they bringing Megatron out?

@Iceman and DarthGzus33 - see my responses in the Transformers Classics thread. It needs some love from Arkers.

As for what's new with me, I got nothin'.

On my way over there, thanks!

salsa4datass · 01-22-2013, 08:47 PM

picked up 9 out of the 12 kre-o transformers minifigs along with all 16 lego series 9 minifigs for my son...

trebleshot · 01-23-2013, 07:00 AM

^ I wish I could find more of them to finish off my own set. I've only got 6 of them so far, but I haven't seen anymore since the initial shipment.

In haulage news, I finally got around to picking up Nick TMNT Splinter and he's far more articulated than he looks in-package. It's still mostly crap because of the lack of elbow or knee joints and his legs being pre-posed, but not as bad as I thought. At least now the boys now have their sensei and the only two from the first two waves I don't own yet are Foot Soldier and Kraang.

I'll probably snag the Foot at some point and get Kraang last. He seems to be the biggest pegwarmer out of all of them.

I want that Hammer for Thor to have, so everybody knows it's time to fight lol.

Th0r4z1n3 · 01-23-2013, 03:36 PM

Got a couple things this week, nothing epic, but I do have a couple of gems that haven't arrived yet.

I didn't know there was a running change to the Dollar General TFs, I got the first version of Starscream, but this one came with the blasters!

I ended up not grabbing Kraven, but I did get Beast & Bill

...and a trade with a fellow Arker got me these two

Now I need to break down and order some more stands so I can get all these guys out of their packaging and displayed properly. XD

Damn, I figured you already knew about Screamer. Otherwise I could have given you a head's up. I only found out about him myself last month due to the GDO release of Thundercracker and "Motorbreath". I just bought the Optimus remold last week because I find the red version of Motormaster/Menasor's sword to be both hilarious AND nonsensical. Like Alice in Wonderland.

In other seeker news, did you get the BBTS exclusive Dark Energon Starscream? I'm seriously considering it as a cheaper alternative for TFP Skywarp.

I knew about TC, but didn't know they had added them to SS. I was seriously considering importing the Takara version to get a SS with the blasters.

I haven't gotten the Dark Energon SS yet, I keep looking at them but haven't pulled the trigger yet. I need him an AM TC. I do like the mold though, I've got 3 already, the entertainment pack SS works ok as SW too I think.

In haul related new... I doubled back for Kraven

...also found my first Five Below; I LOVE THIS STORE!

I didn't know there was a Mumm-Ra with small wings, or Panthro with metal hands. All this made me to though, is start looking for a Claudus:
