I'd like to argue skids' case, here desz. I actually think his transformation was pretty solid. If you think he's crap for his alt mode, i agree completely.

Its a case of not liking the alt or bot mode.

I like your great haul there Rattrap! Esp. Wreck-Gar and the Roadbuster recolor of Ultra Magnus! Those haven't made it to my area yet! BUT>>>>

Here's what I found at my local Walmart and TRU stores:

1) Mighty Muggs Optimus Prime and Megatron
*Said I wasn't gonna buy these because they really don't do anything, but....since I do collect everything Optimus and Megatron, went ahead for $10.99 and purchased them!

2) Been waiting for this guy! Classic Inferno! Definitely worth the wait and money!

3) Also been waiting for this version of Leo Breaker in G1 Optimus Prime colors! Another version of Prime!

4) Didn't seem to like the look of the 25th Anniv. G1 minibots at first glance. But now that I have some, they aren't that bad! So far I have Bumblebee, Brawn, Jazz, Beachcomber and Megatron (Not pictured)

I'm so glad I grabbed mine from HTS in December. I just saw one on the shelf for the first time this week (at a Walmart)

Got a picture?!

I had a Transformers bed set when I was a kid. It was blue, possibly checked, around the outside, with a massive picture of various TFs in the middle.

I got a picture of the pillow somewhere but it's not scanned in.

Well as I am going to be over in a town near to me for a series of conferences for the next two weeks I decided to have a look at the local stock.

I found 2 sideswipes, a galvatron, an acid storm and an ironhide uni 2.0 figures. Two jazz, two swoop and one oil slick animated deluxes, two blitzwings and a lugnut ani voyagers. Amazingly though on the ani voyager front they had a stack of leo primes and overloads.

My impulse buy hand soon had a hold of an overload.

{thanks to razorclaw for the overlord parts. I'll be going back to that 'tesco' tomorrow to get me a leo prime. [and anything else I fancy]}

I was finally able to snag these two pieces I've been looking for:

1) Diaclone Battle Convoy
*It's not as mint condition as I would like, but it's the real deal! I took comparison pics of it next to the original G1 trailer to show the main differences.
a) The diaclone trailer launcher is different in that it has NO holes to hook in roller to. But it launches the same way and the power to which the Diaclone version shoots roller out is twice as powerful!

b) Also there is a definite color change in the interior and that of roller.

2) The Yellow E-Hobby version of G1 Ultra Magnus:

3) Pictures of my three versions of LeoBreaker:

4) MP3 Takara/Tomy Soundwave with Rumble & Frenzy Transforming Headphones:

**Anyone know what size and type of memory sound card this thing takes? And can I get it at Wal-mart or Best Buy? And is it very expensive?

If I remember correctly they take Mini SD cards up to 1GB in size, same as alot of Mobile Phones or Cameras. Being in the UK (and never having visited the States) I would guess that Wal-Mart would stock them, they stock everything else right?

Rumble.

R.I.P, Menasor.

I can't believe I thought Cassettes were the way of the future.

Is +1 on Kups list.

Nice haul SP. The Diaclone OP and mp3 Soundwave look sweet. You should be able to get the mini-SD Memory Cards. Some people claim that it can work with up to 2 GB memory cards, but only up to 1 GB is confirmed by the manufacturer. I would think you would be able to get it a Walmart, you can definitely get it at a Best Buy or a Target.

Walmart does indeed stock them. They're not very expensive, under $15.

Oh, my face.

Wow! What a haul, Lance! I'm especially jealous about the Battle Convoy! Check also for the gaps on the trailer to hold the metal panels inside, which allow the Diaclone drivers stick... It's pretty much like the "bloated" Prime.
