@ Deszaras - Very nice! I've been hoping to be able to get one myself. He definitely looks better than the classics/universe Ravage!
How big is he, by the way?

So Blaster was canceled? Do you know what'll happen with the rest of the device label TF's?

Today was a bountiful day for me.

Firstly, I got a complete First Movie Evac for free, thank you Jazz.

Then I I got ROTF Leader Class Optimus Prime with a bonus Camshaft.

Three figures in one day and now my collection is up to 15.

I just found an ad for "boxes of kids toys" on craigs list. So I went right out to look at them. After an half hour of digging I emerge with:

Armada: red and yellow hot shots cars & some accessories, deluxe optimus with minicon, demolisher with 3 missiles, blurr and most accessories, sideways and some accessories, and almost complete unicron

gobots cheetor

Bizarrely G1 topspin and razorclaw

a bunch of parts and accessories. Including what I need to finally complete my RID landfill

I'm always amused at the parts people keep and those they loose. I found Alpha-Quintesson's stand and all 3 tentacles separately, but nothing else from him. A landing gear from energon megatron but no body.

yep, wings but no launchers, missles, or the minicon. The seller also had Starscream, but he had no wings.

Too bad you can't even take Prime out of his package until Christmas...

He is a wonderful figure.

SCORE!!
I went to my local vintage stock store over last weekend. I poured the dollar bin onto the floor with my buddy. He found some stuff, but I found the best. Here are the weapons that I found in the dollar bin: G1 cyclonus gun, G1 broadside weapons, G1 lightspeed weapons, G1 superion various guns, G1 menasor various weapons.

Now some would say I could find that too. Not when all of that stuff combined cost me 1 dollar! Score! I also picked up a Matt Tracker with volcano mask, a few sega genesis games, and I walked out paying less than twenty bucks.

Just got ROTF Devastator. He's gigantic, far bigger in person. It's true, it is rather difficult to get him into a movie-like pose, but I really do like it.

I picked up the RotF Fearswoop(Hooligan) today. Then learned my mom had got me it for x-mas! So she's taking the one she got back and I'm not allowed to open it til then.
