They usually run a little over $100+ for the Spark Blue version and that's MISB from overseas. I ran across a slightly used one stateside for $75 (free shipping) which isn't bad.

Universe Inferno arrived today. I passed on RTS Grapple and will be passing on the ridiculously priced Artfire. This one, though, was a must have! Now I really need that Gear of War set. :roll: *facepalms*

You people and your TJ Maxxs... :lol: They are non-existent in my area. The closest one is in the next state (LA) a little over an hour drive away. Will have to check it out the next time I'm there. :wink:

Roadbuster, you do realize I live two hours from any retail store at all, right? Don't count yourself too deprived ;)

Wow! Reminds me of when I was living in South Dakota several years ago. :shock: I think the WMSC is the only thing keeping this town I live in now alive. :lol:

Bought another Universe Ironhide figure I plan on using for a custom. You should be able to see the winch that came in for it today in front of him. Also pictured is a 25th Duke (loose) to take command inside G.I. Joe HQ'ers. Packed house with no leader up 'till now! :twisted: I've owned a 25th Duke (jet pack version) MOSC for quite some time just really wanted this version as it's more cartoon accurate. Also pictured is Transformers Regeneration #80.5 FCBD that was given away at local comic book shops a few weeks ago. I, unfortunately, don't have any comic shops around so I snagged one fairly cheap (for something that's supposed to be free :P). Also shown is a nice switchblade I picked up from uniqueblade.com called the Cupid Clone. It's an exact replica of the knife Heath Ledger used in the Dark Knight. Dependable (I've tested the spring at least 50+ times in the short time I've had it) and affordable, I highly recommend getting one!

About 20 Toys I picked up over the weekend

Post by RodimusMaximus »

These are all mint, I was very lucky to find this whole lot and all of the complete. I will list them down since the pics do not do them justice. G1 Hound, Euro Rumbler, Euro Slicer, Euro Thundercracker, Euro Circuit, Action Master Megatron, Action Master Gutcruncher, Action Master Starscream. Pretenders Thunderwing and Octopunch. G1 quickmix, Euro Stalker, Euro Scorch. Euro action masters bombshell and Sideswipe. Powermasters Joyride and slapdash Euro Lightspeed and to top it off a Mint complete Overlord!!! Also if any one can tell me how to post the pics to transformerland instead of photobucket that would be a big help. Thanks!

Total repaint. Head swap (waiting on the custom head to get here from Shapeways now). Going to add a 4x4 winch and possibly a spare tire. Looking into getting a windshield screen/cage too but haven't even started on my search for that yet. :P Waiting on some Reprolabels to get here along with some other accessories. Taking my time...but will take pics along the way. ;)

Heres my new lady to add to the shelf. :) I gave her big gun to powerizer prime to replace that HORRIBLE thing they called a gun.

as you can see the gun looks much better with prime. Also I think its a good update to his G1 gun.
172 and counting. :)_
Newest addition to my collection: Generations Blitzwing

Looking for packaging for 20th Anni. Masterpiece Optimus Prime and his axe and Megatron gun. PM me if you have any of these at a reasonable price.

Nice finds everyone!
I hope we'll run into another Vehicon, and maybe some more voyagers as well! So far I've mostly seen Bumblebee, Bumblebee and Bumblebee... :?
