What will be your next Transformers purchase?

Darkravager · 11-21-2008, 07:42 PM

I'm personally hoping to find an Ultra Magnus before the sales at various stores end. Failing that, I want to get Shockwave next. How about you?

Smokescreen GT · 11-21-2008, 09:42 PM

I'm hoping to find Universe Hound, Cyclonus and Starscream before Xmas. And, maybe if I'm lucky, I'll also find Animated Blurr and Swindle.

Dark Ramjet · 11-21-2008, 09:47 PM

Just picked up Universe Galvatron, Cyclonus and Ironhide today. Hound, Sunstreaker, Bluestreak, Sideswipe and Prowl are next.

trebleshot · 11-21-2008, 09:47 PM

Animated Magnus is (hopefully) my next purchase. I got Shockwave from HTS and have Hound on backorder. Maybe Cyclonus or Cheetor if I find them before Magnus.

Basically, I've going back and forth between Universe and Animated, and probably will keep it up until ROTF toys come out. I'm practically a completist with those two lines, so it's more of a question of what won't I pick up.

I'm even looking forward to the Jetfire/Jetstorm two-pack.

Where did you find Universe Cyclonus already? I didn't even know they were out!

My next TF toys will probably be the next wave of Universe toys(deluxe, voyager, ultra). I don't have any Animated toys, but I'd like to have a Blurr.

Ebay, the seller I bought it from had 9 more. That was around 2:00pm est. I haven't seen him in stores and HTS was sold out, so I said to hell with it.

fosterlager · 11-21-2008, 10:06 PM

Next up for me is the Springer/Ratbat Universe set.

How much was he selling them for?

All together for me it cost: $24.99 for Cyclonus, $6.77 Shipping and $1.70 for insurance. I did have an ebay code that brought the price down a couple bucks.

trebleshot · 11-21-2008, 10:33 PM

Hmm, I think I can wait for retail, or whenever HTS gets them back in. That price is a little steep for me with all the other stuff coming out.

Shin Densetsu · 11-21-2008, 10:43 PM

Hopefully I'll find a Roadbuster/Dirge set that isn't broken. I found only one set today, it had a broken hinge behind the head/below neck. I may pick up Blades before the end of the year, maybe Scattershot too. I hope to find Cheetor, Cyclonus, Hound, and Inferno before the year ends. Maybe the Springer/Ratbat set, but I'm not sure on that. Animated figures I hope to find before the year ends are Jetfire/Jetstorm(I have a feeling these look WAY better than on the package...there's got to be a good reason why Eric Siebenaler loves these guys(he said recently in Toyfare that they are some of his favorites of the line), Blurr, and Shockwave.

Nightwing · 11-21-2008, 10:46 PM

I will buy whichever new Transformers Universe Classics figure that I see next such as Cyclonus, Hound, Ratchet, Smokescreen, Inferno, or the re-issue of Starscream in G1 colors. I still want the Henkei Thundercracker, Skywarp, Thrust, and Dirge figures but I might just try to make customs rather than spend that kind of money on them.

I'm also debating whether or not to pick up the 25th Anniversary Optimus Prime. I think that $69.99 is a little too steep for him. Hopefully I can find one on clearance sometime after Christmas.

slugslinger2004 · 11-22-2008, 07:55 AM

I have no idea what my next purchase will be. I ordered all the Universe stuff I wanted from HTS, so it'll more than likely be a G1 headmaster/targetmaster.

Robogeek28 · 11-22-2008, 08:12 AM

Right now I'm waiting to get Universe Cyclonus, Hound, Dragstrip, Overkill, Dinobot, Smokescreen, Hotshot, etc etc. Then of course there's the Upcoming Henkei, Masterpieces,G1 Legends, Gestalts.....ugh, I need more money.

Optimus Scourge · 11-22-2008, 08:14 AM

I just put in a big order with HTS, which will cover me on Animated and Universe for a bit.

The Target Springer/Ratbat pack is most likely my next purchase.

MegaPrime33 · 11-22-2008, 08:25 AM

I'm looking, just looking for now, to fill in some holes in my G1 collection. I sold a bunch a couple of years ago to get my HD TV, so we'll see on getting them back.

Soundwave.ca · 11-22-2008, 09:23 AM

MP Thundercracker for sure, maybe Henkei Ironhide, other then that not too sure what else I'm getting as there's not too much out there I'm really interested in.

Shin Densetsu · 11-22-2008, 01:24 PM

I found an unbroken set of of Dirge/Roadbuster, and man Roadbuster is excellent! See, I had missed out on Cybertron Defense Hot shot, so this is my first time handling the mold, and it is worthy of being an homage to Roadbuster. Armed to the teeth, impressive engineering, and a wonderful aesthetic, this is one of the very best Cybertron molds, and a stand out amongst the deluxes. Dirge is quite nice, after handling this now, I can appreciate the alterations that Hasbro did to King Starscream, the Supreme sized figure. I am happy with this set of figures, and am thinking about getting the Springer/Ratbat set(the only thing stopping me is the fact that I like Universe Blades and rarely ever buy more than 1 of the same mold, as of yet I have neither).

trebleshot · 11-22-2008, 07:48 PM

Yeah, I'm still toying with the idea of getting Roadbuster/Dirge. May just pick it up to have both sets, since I am definitely getting Springer/Ratbat for the latter alone.

Darkspeed · 11-22-2008, 08:48 PM

Once they finally come in, I'll be getting the new Wal-Mart exclusives Fracture and Crackcase, and may pick up two other Deluxes from the Universe line... Possibly Prowl and Galvatron.

After that, probably not picking up any figures until Christmas... Damn not being able to work in Canada! >_<

faithingruden · 11-23-2008, 07:15 PM

before last night I would have said the Target animated re-colors, but sunce I just got them I'd say animated Magnus or maybe universe Hound and Cyclonus.

trebleshot · 11-23-2008, 07:31 PM

Well, looks like Animated Magnus was indeed my next purchase (mission accomplished!) and probably my last till after Christmas. But moving to the top of the list is Hound, since he's already on order.

AutobotAssassin · 11-23-2008, 07:51 PM

just got Dirge and Roadbuster combo today. will get Leader Bulkhead Wed. with my Target $10 off coupon. Hope I get classics Ultra Magnus Armor from Fansproject for Christmas!

Weirdwolf · 11-23-2008, 08:54 PM

Probably Universe Cyclonus, Hound & Ravage, or possibly another Henkei figure (kind of looking at Powerglide). Probably won't be for a week or two though if I buy a Henkei. I want to get an in-dash XM installed in my new car, which will cost me around $250 so I may hold off on the toys until after Xmas.

Flint · 11-23-2008, 10:26 PM

The ones I want most right now are Voyager Animated Optimus Prime, The classics Starscream repaint, Classics Cyclonus and Classics Ironhide. But i hope when I get Ironhide its from the later production run so he doesn't have that terrible Blue face.
