Geez Roadbuster. First you find Computron and now Tracks. Those are some good finds! :)

I was out at Meijer & Target, but alas it wasn't meant to be. Nothing on the peg hooks that interested me.

Thanks! I have one more G1 Combiner on the way....will give me 8 out of the 9 that I'm after. Monstructor doesn't really appeal to me what-so-ever so he doesn't make the list. :lol:

I'm envious, Jazz.

Has anyone seen Sergeant Kup in stores yet?

Damn, Roadbuster! You're gettin' the cake lately. I'm jealous over your Computron. Very nice finds. :)

I don't think those hit stores here in the US until sometime in February...I'm drooling over Kup myself. Along with Scourge, Thundercracker and Wheeljack that wave is going to be something else! Wreck-Gar is another must have as well...

Hey everyone, it's been a while since I posted on here. I found RTS Jazz and Tracks plus RTS BIS two-pack. And now I'm just waiting for the new stuff to show up. I'll keep you in touch....

Here's what arrived today:

1) Diamond Elita-One Statue...very cool looking:

2) Reveal the Shield Rotimus Prime vs. Cyclonus:

3) Parallax Protecter Commander (Rodtimus Prime)

**COUPLE OF COMMENTS: This is an awesome overall design and greatly compliments the classic hotrod and converts him into Rodtimus Prime. Since I cannot afford the masterpiece rodtimus, this will have to be close enough.

***Only small gripes:

1) I cannot get the extended leg parts to stay attached in robot mode. Of course I am not able to use my classic version hotrod due to a broke off wing. For robot mode used the Reveal the Shield Rodtimus version. Maybe that is why they would not stay connected well?

2) The left rear tire section panel that ias removable and makes the extended feet did not want to stay reattached when back in vech mode.

3) The extra louver wings that attach to the front of the trailer section and rest above the car do not want to stay attached good. They keep popping off.

***Overall a good investment in spite. I had a bunch of credit for returns with BBTS I had forgotten about and used those to purchase this. :D

Very nice SentinelPrime!

I have the BIS 2 pack as well. I have used it w/ my Protector Armor and it snaps into place just as it should. I haven't had any problems getting the 2 different sets to work together.

Looks great!

RTS Breacher just arrived. Very nice mold. Advanced transformation for a scout! I am having minor issues lining up the transformation to make it seamless. I think it just might be me and not the new mold. Instructions weren't included. :( He does look great with Seaspray, though!

Nice haul there Sentinel! :wink: That Protector Armor is awesome! I hope to land a set myself one day. Good to see you back too Starscream! :)

Seeing as I missed out on Classics Rodimus a few years back (and the skyrocketing prices of one MOSC now due to the protector armor being out) I'm grateful Hasbro re-released this mold in the BIS 2 pack. Already had Universe Cyclonus but hey, at least I get one another one now with slightly different paint apps.

Awesome goodies Sentinel!

I received some more energon cubes today and my iGear Ark/Teletraan set arrived. Traditionally you see Teletraan’s terminal positioned at the back wall but I found that to be a cluster @#$%, so I positioned it elsewhere. Anyway here is a quick snap shot of Soundwave doing what he does best… making energon cubes and the Ark set with Kremzeek giving Cliffjumper a hard time. In the corner ole Rodimus is in the corner shooting the breeze with a Quintesson. I grabbed the iGear set from Super_Megatron who is on Toy Ark, Cybertron.CA and countless other sites.

Great setup there Dai Atlas! That set looks great. Mine was a complete pain to put together (and stay together). What do you think of yours?

I love the energon cubes! I need to find a Soundwave figure. I was kind of hoping they would have some sort of update reveal the shield figure that wasn't from the game. (Although, I do want that cliffjumper, real bad!)

Thanks bud! It was a pain to put together but once together I love it. I used a 20 pack of binder clips, which can be found at any office supply store. I got the ide from CYBERTRON.CA, check it out. http://www.cybertron.ca/boards/showthre ... 007&page=5

Sweet haul bud! That Ark set looks outstanding! And using those binder clips is brilliant! Lots better than super-gluing the panels together or using velcro. :wink: Anybody heard anything else on the Nemesis set that iGear had been planning to do? Last I seen were prototype pics and then *poof* nothing else since.

Thanks Roadbuster! I would love to have a Nemesis set but I think with the gripes and complaints about the Ark set they may have changed their mind or decided to put more time into it before releasing it. However I haven't heard a word either way which sucks. When you look at the Ark set it seems to have been designed to be able to add more panels. I bet if it had gotten the reviews they expected they would have made it to where you could order more panels, but I am just guessing. :?

The ark set looks very much like the hanger sections you can buy for models. There are a whole series of them. They're called "mechanical chain base". I wonder if they can connect together.

I bought like 5 of them off amazon. They only seem to carry 1 now. Hmm, I wonder if they stopped making them. I'm not really seeing many for sale anywhere.
