Well, it doesn't matter now! I found the three of them! Unfortunately, Toys R Us was completely devoid of Animated figures, so no Rodimus or Ironhide for the foreseeable future.

All three of them are very nice molds. I was very, very impressed with Thundercracker's detailing.

Looks awesome! I think reflector is great!! I heard they released version 2.0 that has the correction for the base of the camera. I love mine (too bad its the first release of this product).

Can't wait for your review!

I wasn't aware there was a version 2.0 released? :? I knew TFC had plans on releasing it's Classics-verse Reflector but didn't know about PE's 2nd run. As far as the base goes, I'm not having any issues with mine...or the rest of the figure. :)

I've wanted this since I first saw it. Then it sold out. Then scalpers doubled and sometimes tripled the prices. Then I was broke! The shame!!

Then BBTS restocked a few weeks ago for a very brief period of time.

I'm lovin' it!

I posed him with the gun for only about a minute. I didn't want to wear down his arm joints. It's too bad that his gun is too heavy for him. He looks fricken cool aiming it!

Then I was happy. :) I need to do some light research and see which shoulder his Autobot symbol goes on. I've got a few laying around.

I'll post an update in the collections thread to my 86 movie Auobots.

I love that protector armor. I dont use that gun in my scene either becuase its just so big and heavy. Good job on that find. I have always been fond of Dinoking, and probably will never see one in person due to its rarity, but I did pick this up on ebay the other day for $25, and once he's repainted, he will sit alongside of my complete Monstructor:

Sure does beat paying hundreds of dollars for just one of the figures to complete the real one. Now if someone could make ko's of those stupidly rare japanese tapes......

In the past few weeks I've gotten DOtM Laserbeak, and I've come across a whole lot of RiD and Unicron Trilogy stuff. I know most of the Unicron Trilogy figures, but I'll use the Store Search to figure out the RiD.

Dinobot, do you mean like the Dinosaur combiner tapes?

If so. Your wish is granted. They are in production now to my understanding.

edit --

Jazz - Share some pictures!

Dinobot - will you post closer before and after pictures? I am intrigued to see that figure repainted!

On that city commander armor is that clip that hold the big gun together in robot mode the piece that attaches the trailer to the truck in vehicle mode?

Yeah im thinking of those combiner tapes. By the way, the ko dinoking actually showed up this morning. He is HUGE! He is almost the same height as the regular G1 combiners. I will post pics of him later when I have the time, and do size comparisons.

RiD Super Side Burn
RiD Super X-Brawn
RiD Bludgeon
RiD Wedge
RiD Grimlock
RiD Hightower
(Thanks you, Store Search Archive!)

Only Hightower is complete, the rest are missing bits and weapons.

Armada Optimus Prime
Armada Megatron
Armada Sideways
Armada Overload(?)
Armada Tidal Wave

None of these are complete either, missing bits as well. Unless Overload(?) and Tidal Wave don't come with weapons or anything.

Energon Optimus Prime

Not complete, no trailer.

And one other Scout Class TF that I haven't pinged yet.

Still, thats an ok bunch of TFs for 10 bucks, I guess.

Nice hauls everyone! @Countdown: I'm extremely jealous over that CC armor. I missed that restock over at BBTS by like 30 minutes. :cry:

@ Dinobot: The dinocassetes could be out any day. They are being held up by a few qc issues. That's actually a good thing. These are going to be some awesome knock offs!! I can't wait to see the pictures. Will you do a mini review and describe the quality?

@ LD2062: The clip goes in the undercarriage of the trailer mode.

@ Jazz: Is there enough pieces to form the combiner? That was a ton of stuff you got!

@ Roadbuster: Maybe they'll restock again. TFsource restocked, except they raised the price to $250. Too expensive for my blood.

When I met up with Dinobot at Toybase 10 I bought Alternators Meister. It was great dealing with Steve Seimens again and seeing Dinobot, and walking around in the store itself was a blast.

Then on the way home picked up DOtM Topspin and Generations Kup.
