Great finds! I've picked up Rodimus Minor several times (in stores) and thought about purchasing him but never did. Now I can't find him anywhere...

Just recieved my Xouergen Grand Patriot Supreme Tactical Commander Prime figure. He is a huge figure and comes in a very nice, solid detailed box. Overall it is a pretty good figure except for the scarey plastic joint parts. Watched a good review of how to transform him at the waist. Just simply rotate the upper waist section to the left or right before pulling down the section into place in robot mode.

The figure sort of reminds me of a mini "Powermaster Prime/Fortress Maximus" look. He has shoulder cannons like Powermaster Prime and leg cannons like Fortress Max. He taller than Classic Prime and G1 Prime too. His trailer can be put into various battle modes with guns and rockets. The two silver gas tanks on trailer can detach and attach to his forearms and have mini arm cannons.

The only real drawbacks to this figure is the trailer and the flimsy platforms the rockets sit on. It does not support the weight well. This figure's fagile white plastic makes one alittle afraid it will break in transforming it. I also painted the white smokestack metallic silver to more closely match the other silver parts. I love collecting everything Prime, so I had to get this figure. To me it is well worth it. I bought it from another fellow collector who only wanted the green version and I only wanted the red version.

Wow!

I like that A LOT! Can't go wrong with an Optimus Prime holding a pair of bfg's!!! Really gives him attitude!

Very cool version of 0ptimus! I just splurged and purchased the Fansproject Bruticus Crossfire A and B upgrade sets yesterday as an early birthday present to myself. Paid for three day shipping, so I should have the new Bruticus ready for pics by Wednesday. Im also waiting on the new legends Megatron, Optimus, and Starscream along with the new Generations Thundercracker to show up by Tuesday. Pics coming soon

Grand Patriot looks killer Sentinel, very very intimidating.

Thanks! Yeah, I have 14 packages on the way now....lmao....no worries only four of them are action figure related. The rest are "gifts" for my son who has a birthday coming up soon (12).

All Star Wars related presents no doubt.....lmao....that's his "thing" now. I'm beginning to think my mailman hates me, though. He's starting to get lazy and just leave packages all around the house. I never know which door to check...

Encore 07: Sky Lynx

Sorry Roadbuster, I can't think of a comment.
My drooling has splattered all over my keyboard.

Thanks bud. I wavered in my decision making process over getting this reissue or an original. Price always plays a key part but I also had to factor in: a)the lifespan of the mechanical operation b)neck joint stiffness with the top-heavy head considering I plan on displaying him in "Sky Lynx" mode c)the white plastic is "bone" white...essential for a Sky Lynx toy considering his prehistoric nature. All in all I'm quite pleased. Stickers have been applied. Toy has been played with. And he's now sitting perched high atop a shelf overlooking a random meal that might scurry through the collection room...whichever unfortunate chihuahua that might be.

i bought the encore sky lynx, starscream, jazz, ironhide, ratchett, and omega. i choose the encore for the electronics due to the newness of them and the fact it is tomy takra. i am really pleased with them.

Todays haul: G1 Blurr! (100% complete). Got this guy really dirt cheap too!

Roadbuster, are you going to save any transformers for the rest of us. You're buying them all up faster than Blurr can speak... and that's fast!

My haul for today: TRNS-01 Valkyrie (Arcee) and TRNS-02 Medic (Paradron)

For size comparison: (and yes I know I forgot to rotate Hot Rods spoiler)

Pros: Nice box art. Sleek G1 accurate styling. Great paint application. High heels + bucket seats. Fully rotatable shoulder and hip joints. Minimal kibble underneath. Rolls perfectly. Probably the best surprise of all....no weapon storage as her pistols remain in her fists as her arms are folded underneath the car.

Cons: Delicate. No die-cast parts. (If you're wanting one with die-cast parts then I suggest pre-ordering the MGT-01 due out later this month. I rarely ever transform mine as she'll be strictly a display piece so durability shouldn't be an issue.) No stickers. (This fig really doesn't need any though as the paint apps are excellent. However I do plan on ordering a set of Autobot decals as well as some heat rub signs from Reprolabels.com just to add the finishing touch on her.)

Great catches Roadbuster!

I've been thinking long and hard about the Arcee in iGear's store. I am tempted to preorder her. But, I am on the fence. I heard that Hasbro was coming out w/ a Generations Arcee later this year, but then I heard it wasn't so. I don't know whats happening with that figure now (and besides, I don't know if it would be reimagined in G1 styling). I want to just go ahead and do the iGear one.. Oh, my brain is confused.

But, now back to your new catches - She looks great. Thanks for the size comparison. I definitely need to add a G1esqe Arcee to my collection!

---

I recently had C.H.U.G. Kup, Scourge, Perceptor, & Thunderwing delivered. They are great and I am glad to have them in my collection. I have a few more on order at BBTS but I am waiting for them to ship into my pile of loot first. Will have pictures up a little later!

Roadbuster · Post by **Roadbuster** » Thu Mar 24, 2011 5:08 pm

I couldn't wait for prices to skyrocket on these (TRNS-01) while awaiting the possibility of a Generations Arcee release. I got these two for less than the pre-order prices were originally and still sealed to boot.

My haul for today: G1 Cyclonus (rare blue ears version) 100% complete!

My G1 Season 3 core line-up is near complete! Awaiting Kups arrival any day now...

i really like that Arcee Roadbuster.
Too bad Hasbro did not pick up on that.

Great stuff you got there. Kup is one of my favorite G1's

Here is what I got today...
