New toy purchases

I agree with you Jazz, I think he looks pretty neat too, and I'd definitely pay $15 for him. So; nice purchase, captainamerica!

Well, I finally opened Powerglide and I was underwhelmed. I would have preferred if his engines folded back so his arms could fold in a little tighter to his torso.

However, I also found a Universe Silverbolt for $5.50 and an Animated Ultra Magnus for $10.00.

I had passed on Silverbolt at full retail, and at $18, $15, and $11...I couldn't pass on him at that bargain basement price. I thought he looked like a robot wearing a jet for a backpack (and still do), but I've decided that's actually pretty faithful to the G1. But, like Powerglide, I wish some of the kibble folded to a less conspicuous position (specifically the wings and nose of the jet).

Haven't opened Magnus yet. He'll be the first piece in my collection from the Animated series. I'd like to get a Roadbuster Magnus if anybody wants to swap.

I found it! Recon Ironhide! Man, does he have a ton of weapons. I missed Bludgeon, though.

I found Transformers Universe Special Edition Deluxe Overkill, Dragstrip, Megatron, & Optimus Prime. I like them, but Megatron's joints remind me of Galvatron's in the universe line and I think Optimus's gimmick (punching action) should have been left out. Optimus's cannon helps make up for it, though.

Also, Stratosphere w/ Optimus Prime was waiting for me when I got home. Had fun figuring him out.

My latest finds:

Nice haul, Countdown! Where did you find them?

The universe figs came from a department store out here called Marshal's (sp?)

Derrick, you can never have too many Scrapper canopies. They always get lost!

As for Swindle, that's a EU Classics packaging.

Won all 5 Technobots in packaging! I finally got them. They better not get lost in the mail!

Marshall's? Really... now that's strange. Since those were a hasbro exclusive, that means HASBRO had to dumped them at the discounter, BEFORE putting them on a decent sale price (I've been keeping an eye on them for awhile).

How much were they?

Bumblebee · Post by **Bumblebee** » Fri Jan 08, 2010 6:19 pm

im not surprised they did tho all those molds have been recolored and re-released (optimus prime was released in 2-pack packaging (leader for the ages at walmart and prime vs meg) etc.... lol

Countdown · Post by **Countdown** » Fri Jan 08, 2010 9:24 pm

They were selling for $9.99 each. They had SE-01 through SE-04. Are there other Special Editions out there?

I know I'm late on this, but awesome pinball machine~!!! I love the early G1 items of all kinds!

Just brought home ROTF Voyager Ironhide. Nice piece but I thought he'd be black not grayish. Brought home Starscream a couple day ago. So far my new years res. is working. Buy something TF related once a week......or more.

They are the only 4 so far. I picked up 3 of the 4 (no Prime) off HasbroToyShop.com when they were released a little over a year ago. Free Shipping and discount codes got them down to about what they're showing up for now.

I've got my eye out for another Overkill to remake into a Classics G2 Grimlock.

Overkill is my favorite mold out of those 4.
