New toy purchases

Well the 2nd installment of my ongoing Hercules project "finally" arrived today! Heavy Labor (aka: not-Long Haul) had a minor setback in the production schedule due to the replacement bucket/scoop needed for the 1st figure in this line Exgraver (aka-Not Scavenger). While I've had no issues with my bucket/scoop others have complained about the ratcheting mechanism being too tight as it strips out the internal gears. The cool part about having 2 (buckets) is....you can dual wield them as weapon attachments on each forearm in robot mode!

Glad to see TFC Toys is catering to their fans and really listening, reading and absorbing feedback and making the appropriated changes based on consumer input. They are (imo) on the same level as Fansproject in being a top-notch 3rd party manufacturer. Can't wait until the end of next month as the next 2 will have been released by then (according to their production schedule) Dr. Crank (not-Hook) and Structor (not-Scrapper)

Jealous is the word. But, I will manage to somehow contain my jealousy. Great catch there. I wish those figures were in my price range, but I can't say that they are. I'd say someday... but, it just isn't going to happen.

You have to promise that you will have epic pics once they are all present and accounted for.

Thanks to Trance, here is my haul:

Luckily, they are complete.

Here's one w/ Blaster!

I have another package arriving from Trance tomorrow. More pics to come.

Didn't feel like double postin - so here is some editing.

Thanks again to Trance I have Universe Deluxe Big Daddy & Cosmos. Great figures. (well, Big Daddy could have longer arms).

Also, today I picked up RTS Bumblebee & Trailcutter from Marshall's. Glad to have the two of them.

RTS Legends Megatron, Starcream, Prime, Trailcutter and Prowl for $4 each at TJ.maxx. This little guys are awesome and I got them for a great price. If you live near a TJ maxx, check for them.

Great finds there! I think the little guys are great too! I don't have nearly enough of them!

I got a package from good ol' Trance today. Its a very small one. I got the sword and gun for G1 Blitzwing and Micromaster Roadhandler. I have never been much into Micromasters but Roadhandler is a 1988 Firebird Trans Am and I just got done selling the REAL thing about a month ago after owning it for 10 years.. DAMN I MISS THAT CAR ALREADY!!!

Hey guys! Yep, I'm still alive.

Very nice and minty! Great catch there!

Yeah it was a good show. Saw 3 fortmax's loose for sale and almost 100 other G1's mib for sale. 7 more and i should be done with the 1987 line.

TFC Toys Hercules Structor arrived today! Can't wait for Dr. Crank to get here next!

I finally found a RTS Windcharger along with the RTS legends Megatron and Starscream today. I got them all for 11 bucks at five below. There were tons of them. I wanna go back and get a couple more Megs and more SS to make the other seekers. Sadly I didnt see any Optimus Primes.

Roadbuster · Post by **Roadbuster** » Mon Dec 19, 2011 4:22 pm

Good find on that Windcharger. I remember him being hard to find earlier this year, I had to get one from overseas myself. Now you can find him at just about any Ross' or TJMaxx.

The 4th TFC Hercules fig. arrived today while I was at work, Dr. Crank. I'm waiting to see if there are any QC issues (and Heavy Labors replacement parts) with the others before I open any of these. They are pretty cool though and will be the definitive Devastator once complete. Neckbreaker (Bonecrusher) should be next. My only gripe with him is the black bucket scoop, would have preferred green. And then Mad Blender (Mixmaster) to finish it up. Mad Blenders cab makes for an ugly "club" foot though in combined form. Anyways, probably a given some 4th party company will be making add on parts for these anyways.

Ya killing me Roadbuster j/k They look really great. I wish I could afford them. But I can't wait till you get them all and unite them to see the mighty Devast.. oh wait sorry I meant Hercules. The only recent thing I bought was The Prime Arcee and Starscream. I bought them @ TRU when they were buy one and get one free. I'm still looking for RTS legend SS to complete that collection.

Was at the Dollar Store today. Low and behold I find this sitting on the shelf in a bit beat up condition (but still sealed) with a $10 price tag! I've been considering buying (and assembling) a Fansproject Bruticus, but this was must have seeing as Barricade's selling for quite a bit on Ebay right now. Whether I decide to keep it or not. I get to the checkout and the girl rings it up for $1.

Clearanced item that had gotten buried beneath other items..

Nice buy!

Roadbuster · Post by **Roadbuster** » Mon Jan 23, 2012 4:22 pm

Thanks. Also, this came in the mail today. TFC Neckbreaker (not-Bonecrusher) which is the fifth installment of Team Hercules. Mad Blender (not-Mixmaster) should be arriving as well within the next couple of weeks so I'm really excited about having this awesome set completed!

How much does those things cost a piece? I assume they transform into Devastator..

One of my most recent purchases was Sidearm Sideswipe - my store had it on clearance for like 7 bucks. I'm waiting for the Transformers Prime figures to come out.. I'm actually getting into it, LOL. Thanks Starwing.

It depends on where you get them from.

Robot Kingdom has the best price on these at $79.90 each if you don't mind overseas mail. And yeah, they'll merge to form the Ultimate Supreme Class Devastator.

TFC Mad Blender (not-Mixmaster) arrived today. I finally have this awesome set completed!

I'll have a few fixes to do once I open up Exgraver (Scavenger) and Heavy Labor (Long Haul) but they're pretty simple to do. As far as cosmetic appearances go, my only gripe is the black scoop on Neckbreaker (Bonecrusher) it should have been green (or even purple), other than that it's perfect!

Share some pics of your 'not devastator' in combined mode !! Come on now - go and make me jealous!
