Well after acquiring Scorponok a month or so ago I've decided to devote the summer (or fall if it takes that long) towards completing the '87 (US) Headmasters series....err....minus Fortress Maximus of course. :lol: So to kick things off I acquired these two bad boys yesterday. Weirdwolf and Mindwipe. Got them both from the same seller for less than $100! Total...for both. Yeah, that's right. :wink: Both are 100% complete (C8.5+, tight joints, great decals, exc...) and are freakin' awesome!!! 8)

Sweet deal. That was a great price!

I've tried to just price out the damn tail. It's expensive.

The accessories for them (HM's) will kill your wallet. I'm spearheading this Headmaster hunt going for them 100% complete or not at all. I know too many people that have been waiting months upon end for a head, gun, wing, fin, tail, exc....and not getting their figure completed due to the crazy ass prices people want for these sold individually.

I stoped by my trusty flea market today and picked up G1 Longhaul for $5.00 and G1 Blitzwing for $20 more. Blitzy is in excelent condition and has no strss marks on his wingtips but is missing his accessories and so is Longhaul. Anyway I feel I got a good deal on them. Besides these finds the guy I buy from also has a bag of 10 g1 and g2 figures he just had to tease me with. After showing them to me he told me they were being held for someone else. I know there was a headmaster in there and a G2 blue grimlock along with a couple of predicons. What a tease too. He only wanted $75 for the bag full. DAMN MY LUCK!!! oh well next time.
172 and counting. :)_
Newest addition to my collection: Generations Blitzwing

Haha, I guess I should've clarified. I forgot all about Thundercracker.

I got Dirge. I like him so much more than RotF Dirge.

Holy mother of all Transformers!!! You went out and got a Fort Max! :shock:
I am EXTREMELY jealous and if ever you decide he "takes up too much space"....well I could PM you my address but you already have that. :lol: That's a nice looking Jetfire too! But where is the small black gun clip?

Hot Damn that is a nice Fort Max. Congrats on that gem. Will you post more pictures? Very nice indeed.

A few weeks ago I posted about a figure which I was excited to get. I've finally gotten around to taking some pictures. I thought I would share them!

Image

He's awesome! I am so glad to have gotten him! I've wanted to get a legit Star Saber since I became addicted to the Victory Fandub. Unfortunately the Brainmaster has a broken leg that is glued into place. I can't seem to get it off and I am terrified about making it worse. I am following some advice about putting it in the freezer and then trying later. We'll see if that helps. Oh, and if I am right, it isn't even the right brain master. I think it is Blacker.

I have a new reprolabels set already. I'll apply it a lil later.

After I got that, I ordered the ehobby Autobot 3 pack exclusive for Scrap heap.

Image

Image

I should have posted pics of him in robot mode, but it totally slipped my mind. I have the other part of the two pack if anyone is interested. I think I may end up putting Kup and Rodimus on that auction site that is nameless.

And, because I just can't seem to stop, I went an ordered an Inferno. I am excited since I have the Gears of War add on set to make him more G1 like (It adds the ladder and removes the cannon).

That Scrap Heap/Wreck Gar Junkion combination is awesome!!! How much does that set run, Countdown, if you don't mind me asking?
