@ Countdown:
Hint: take that goofy missile out of Powerglide's cannon and turn the thing 180°. Boom, more-realistic Vulcan gatling gun in the nose! It's even correctly mounted off-center! See what they did there? They threw a bone to those of us who don't think everything needs to fire big 3" missiles to be cool.

Yeah, the gatling gun is great! The gatling gun actually is facing forward!

The missile is lying on the shelf next to the gun. It is an optical illusion that it looks as if it is actually plugged in!

Todays haul: G1 Rodimus Prime (100% complete). Not too crazy about him but for what I paid for him (won him for) I can't really complain.

Hi peeps it's been a while so I'll get right to it. Most recent purchase was a custom made Thundercracker from a Hasbro Skywarp. It's very sharp and looks great with his seeker brothers. Got most of the RTS figures. Missing the scout windcharger and the g-1 legends figures. When I have a chance I'll try to put up my newest purchases.

I took home the Insecticons misb today from a local toy/comic shop. It's the tru rerelease. I am tempted to open it since they aren't originals anyway, but part of me wants to keep them sealed. I don't know what to do.

Sweet! Go ahead and open 'em up! I've opened all my TRU reissues...applied stickers...and then stuck them back in their boxes. Just be sure to hide the energon goodies!

Nice! You wouldn't have happened to of gotten that one from Kevin Lange over at bubbleformer.com would you? He had it listed for $49.99 which was a steal (imo).

Well......I went to a yard sale today. And got everything you see here for $10!!!!!! I needed Swoops sword so that alone was worth the trip (and the price)!

Great finds everyone!

@ Roadbuster - $10 for that lot? Wow, that's pretty impressive!

Yeah, I've already turned a decent profit. I'm on a G.I. Joe kick right now so it'll fund my MOSC hunt for those.

I stopped by the local flea market and picked up G1 Scrapper, G1 Mixmaster, and Scavenger for 10 bucks. I also picked up the Shiantia Cassette Man ko Soundwave in excellent condition with the stickers still on the sheet and missiles still on the sprue along with a Jaguar(Ravage) cassette for 20 bucks. The quality of the ko is not bad but you can feel that the plastic isnt as strong as the hasbro version I have. Also Jaguar has problems standing since his joints are very loose in the hips and very tight in the feet. other than that, 30 well spent if you ask me. The guy I buy from also had Headmaster Brainstorm for 10 bucks but there was no headmaster so I didnt get it.

Nice finds, Optimus Maximus!

Nice haul Optimus Maximus!

What was in my mailbox today? These little G1 trinkets!:

G1 Omnibots! 100% complete w/manuals! Got all three for $80 shipped.

I found a KO version of G1 pretender grimlock at a garage sale today. Just the robot and tail. Its red and yellow. It suprised me that someone KO'd pretenders.

Thanks, these are my first KO's and I wasn't sure if I should get them at first. If the price was any higher I think I would have passed but I'm happy now that I have them. Only problem is I don't want to display them with my G1 collection so I may have to pick up some other KOs to display with them.

Also now I have to find the rest of the G1 constructicons and all the combiner pieces. Luckily for me my guy at the flea market allways has pieces for Devy so finding them shouldn't take to long or cost much with the deals he gives me.

My Transformers Haul for today: G1 Sandstorm (100% complete)!! Got him really, really cheap too.

With one more "multi-changer" on its way now...the hunt for these are finally over.

Nice purchase, Roadbuster!
At the pace you're going it shouldn't take you long to complete your G1 collection, eh?

Galvatron · Post by **Galvatron** » Tue Apr 19, 2011 10:06 am

Sandstorm is by far one of my favorite triple changers. And did I mention that I'm jealous that you got the omnibots!!! LOL.

Here is my latest purchase...

Thanks Trance!!
