New toy purchases

[Optimus Maximus]

Here is my newest addition to the shelf.

[Roadbuster]

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

I plan to real soon. I first need to set aside some to time to apply needed fixes. Such as filing down the teeth on Exgravers (Scavengers) boom cog. Gotta take Heavy Labor (Long Haul) apart and shave a good portion out of the inside of a gray tab that holds his hip ratchet gears in place. If I don't, any movement of the legs (forwards or backwards) will cause the teeth on that gear to shred off. Also, I've heard that Mad Blender (Mixmaster) has a loose ratchet and the fix for this is to unscrew his back and insert a small piece of eraser. I'll have to check mine and see. TFC Toys stepped up though when they found out about each of these problems and have sent replacement parts out for Exgraver and Heavy Labor. None of the fixes appear to be too difficult plus I've got some great step-by-step information saved from both TFW2005 and TFC Toys. Maybe this weekend.

I haven't had any of those problems with mine but I'm keeping the spare parts just in case.


Heres a couple of my latest purchases.

Saw him for sale on ebay but I bought him from the seller away from there. He's pretty hard to find and I hadn't seen one for sale for months so I jumped on this one. Of course another sold last week for less. lol


Just got this Stepper(Ricochet) in today.

won pretenders starscream and chainclaw mib.

Went to the flea market and bought 2 jacked up Fort Maxs! People were starring at me on the way out like I was carrying dumbells, lol. Anyways, if you are interested in one or both let me know! I don't know what I'm going to do with them yet. They are missing lots of pieces.

Looks like they are literally weathered. Still, impressive even if they are used as garden dwarves.

Pre-ordered Toy Worlds TW-01 Hegemon (not-Megatron) from RobotKingdom. I cannot wait for this to be released!! So excited to be getting this!

[LD2062]

Wow, thats a great G1 redesign. Aren't they required to have the tip of the gun colored orange or something to sell in the USA?

This won't be for sale in the USA. Toy World's announced that stores such as BBTS, TfSource, exc... won't be carrying this. I don't know if it's because of our gun/toy laws or what but I'll take the chance of importing it from Robot Kingdom whom I know is a reputable dealer. Maybe it'll come packaged in robot mode? Either way, I opted for EMS + insurance just in case and will cross my fingers on the rest. Gotta have it! Hasbro will never make a G1 redesigned Megatron due to toy laws now and this will be the definitive "Classics Megatron" on my shelf when it arrives. Hasbros Classics Megatron I have now can use those wings to fly away once Hegemon arrives.

You can see more photos of Hegemon here at ToyWorlds Facebook page:

Purchased Fansproject Bruticus for $200 just a little while ago. Thought it was a fair deal so I couldn't let it slip away. Both Munitioner and Explorer are MIB and 100% complete. Also comes with 3 other loose Energon components as well. Will probably replace Vortex with a spare one from the ROTF set. Will have to take a closer look at Brawl to see if I want to keep him or do the same thing. Pics when it arrives! So stoked!

Had originally planned on picking up Hasbros FOC Bruticus and using it as my "Classics Bruticus" but after seeing those latest Game Informer pics, I believe this version will fit in better. Will still probably buy Hasbros Bruticus this fall though.

Well, it arrived today. Now that I finally got my hands on a Bruticus Maximus w/ Fansproject Munitioner and Explorer add on kit, I have to say I'm quite impressed. While this isn't my first Fansproject purchase (Insecticons were), the level of ingenuity that went into fabricating this appendage set is mind boggling! They truly turned a lackluster figure into something to be desired. All pieces within the appendage kits can be used on the gestalt mode. I only had to store away both of "Blast Off's" guns and they can even assembled to form a smaller version of his BFG pictured. I already have him posed with his machete in his spare hand which happens to be "Blast Off's" tailfin in alt. mode.

It appears I have a ROTF Bruticus Maximus Brawl but an Energon Bruticus Maximus "Vortex" and "Barricade." So that worked out well and I'll be keeping Brawl. Vortex is starting to grow on me but I would like to replace him eventually with either of the ROTF helicopters. Preferably the tan one, named Swindle oddly enough. And as far as Barricade is concerned I like both versions so I'll probably keep the one I have. I wouldn't pass up a ROTF version of Barricade, though, for the right price.

[Minerva]

Wow, he looks really cool! Nice purchase, Roadbuster!

It's been many moons since I have had anything to post here. Today I picked up ENCORE Ratchet and Ironhide from Toys and Joys in Hawaii. They had a bunch of Japanese issue stuff. I just couldn't afford most of the stuff.
