New toy purchases

Skywarp...I got my Metroplex from BBTS. They always ship out promptly and have great bubble wrap packing. I love him! Well worth the money!

I recently purchased what I thought as a fairly good shape 1985 Transformers Prime vs Megatron Rock Em Sock Em. The buyer did NOT take my advice to wrap everything in bubble wrap and shipping peanuts. He just wrapped it with newspaper!!! I told him that I used to work at the post office and saw postal carriers chunking packages over to rolling baskets! So...as a result I discovered a part of the bottom of Prime base was broken off. It still works most of the time.

As old as it is, I mainly bought it for display purposes anyway. It will,display good still. Needless to say, I left the seller very negative feedback.

Today I got the four pack generations Orion Pax, Bumblebee, Trailcutter and Megatron.

And a rare find...at least for me. I did not know Gobots made a pre-version of g1 Shockwave. It's called a Convertible Laser Gun.

The electronics did not work and it is missing the battery cover. Other than that its is pretty good overall shape. I think it is cool looking!

I've never seen that either. Way nicer then the gobot guns I've come across. I've only found those cap guns.

Today I received my first new Transformer since getting FORT MAX back in June. I was so happy to own the tallest Transformer ever. Well today he has been surpassed buy Generations METROPLEX!! I can believe I have them both. This has been a big year for me collecting wise. . This guy is AWESOME! Next up I hope to pick up one or both of the TRU masterpiece figures. Anyway, thanks for looking.

Saw Acid Storm available at a Toys r us store near me online this morning. I walked in right when they opened and happened to see a worker opening a box of Metroplexes! Perfect timing! Maybe I should have bought both Metroplexes. If I could have only got MP Soundwave it would a personal best for shopping at Toys r us.

2 outta 3 ain't bad though.

That's a nice TRU haul! Unfortunately, there are no TRU's in my area.

Hopefully Wal-Mart will carry Titan Metroplex this holiday season. Probably the only way I'll be able to get one.

saw 1 metrotitan at TRU while I was buying new series KREO figures. They didn't have all of them so I went to another TRU. I found one of the two KREO figs I needed, two more Metrotitans and two Acidstorms. I did buy one of the Acidstorms.

I finally picked up Generations Blitzwing, Hes very awesome but I feel like he is to big. He towers over most of my classics figures and looks out of place.

Haven't had internet in a month, so haven't posted much!

Anyway, I got Kre-0 Piranicon Abominus and Defensor. I also got mp Prowl and waiting on Bluestreak.

Nice! I'm waiting on Bluestreak to be released next week before I ship my MP Prowl. Gotta get that free shipping!

I picked up Generations Trailcutter tonight, nice figure even if hes a little small.

Didn't want to start a new thread, but has anyone heard anything new about Toys r us MP Soundwave? Is he gone from the stores? I don't see him on their online store anymore. I think I'm too late

I hate to buy from scalpers on Ebay.

I've heard that he's no longer available in stores, but I'm not sure if that's true or not. Although, considering it's been a while since he came out, I would guess that he's no longer available.

If you check other online stores that sell Transformers, you might find one.

He was in stock 2 weeks ago at my TRU.

Wheelie say find friend today!!

GDO Wheelie with my ebay bucks. And, I picked up Generations Megatron(us). And, 2 or 3 more... Just can't remember which ones!

Been at the Little Rock Comic Con all weekend. Awesome show! Took lots of pics. Had lots of fun....didn't buy anything there, just got to meet a lot of local fans in person that I've been chatting with over on TFW2005.

But I did hit some Toys R Us' while I was there....

Figure on the left I picked up for my good buddy Al (Galvatron) here on TFL. Who's been looking for a MP Soundwave for quite some time now. Really glad to have found him one for retail price. Last one they had too! I remember sitting up all night on 7/18th to get my order in online with TRU for my own Soundwave.

The figure on the right is one I needed for my collection. Stoked to have found him!
