Very nice. I am in a conundrum about getting that version or the Mastermind Creations version. I just don't know.

Is that Sixshot in the background? I've wanted a Sixshot for a while. Is Mastermind Creations the one coming out with a 3rd party Sixshot? I forget.

I have a figure coming in and I can't wait for it. I'll post pics when it gets here and share my other finds too. Until then, mums the word.

You can't go wrong with Fansproject. While every 3rd party manufacturer has their QC issues from time-to-time. They address theirs upfront and have even included an extra weapons set for Thundershred inside Stormbombs box!! I'll be picking up the Reprolabels sticker sets for these soon also....Last I checked stock count was pretty high over at BBTS (got mine from TfSource) so I wouldn't be too worried about these selling out anytime soon.

Yup. Mastermind Creations is on top of it! Along with Grandus Hexatron (Greatshot) and Shadow Hexatron (Shadow Maru)! Both repaints of the same mold. I'll DEFINITELY be getting Sixshot! *drools* And yeah....that's an original D-98 Sixshot in the background still MISB!!

Says Takara Co. LTD 1987 in the bottom left hand corner on the front of the box.

Great finds everyone!

@ Roadbuster: Looks very cool! How about a Stormbomb review?

Excellent finds Optimus Maximus & comicbookjon.

I'm with Minerva; out with the Stormbomb review. Roadbuster - What was the extra weapons set that was included?

Nice finds! I'd like to get my hands on an extra of both of those to try my hands at a Blitzwing custom.

I'll see what I can do. I still have pics taken from when I planned to do that PE-11 review a while back.

I'm not the best when it comes to these but I have good intentions.

In the meantime here a couple nice reviews that helped me out:

http://www.cooksux.com/2011/09/02/fp_stormbomb/

The extra weapons were a set of pinchers/claws for Thundershred as there seemed to be some QC issues there. Though I haven't had any problems with mine it is nice to have the spare set so you can display your Thundershred with blades on his arms and the G1'esque Shrapnel mandible blades on his back shoulders in robot mode.

Thanks for the links, Roadbuster. Those figures look pretty awesome!

Thanks for the answer RB!

DOTM Guzzle is mine. He's an awesome little guy.

I've went to two Targets, Walmart, and two Meijers to find him. Finally found him at Meijers. Too bad, I can't find Spacecase at Target.

Also, with many thanks to Galvatron, Classics Voyager Optimus Prime and Deluxe Drift are mine. Great figures kept in immaculate shape. Thanks Galvatron! He has many great figures left. Check out his for sale list!

Pictures to follow!

It's been a good *long* while since I've bought any what I term "Real" Transformers. (A store bought Transformer that costs over $10.00) The duration of time I'm talking about is like a whole year.

I was overjoyed to find that they were *finally* making a Wheeljack, and after much store crawling I finally found one, but the bad news is that I promptly got angry at the instructions, my lack of understanding of the destructions while trying to get the toy back into car mode, and destroyed it.

I had to buy another one, but the way I look at it is that I just made your Wheeljack a little more valuable. Thundercracker came from Target too, the rest came from an auction site.

When the printed instructions don't make sense I always go to youtube. Nothings more helpful than seeing someone actually doing it. Plus they often tell you what to be careful not to do so nothing gets broken.

Yes. This ^^^. I've been spared many times from either buying a horrible product or breaking a complicated one thanks to youtube.

25th Anniversary Amazon Exclusive Unicron!!!

Damn, is this thing huge! Not only is he a planet eater, he's also a space eater.

Taller than Scorponok and comes up to Fort Maxes mid-section. Packaging is really cool though....hate to open it.

Countdown · Post by **Countdown** » Mon Sep 26, 2011 9:39 pm

He looks awesome. I hate to admit this, but that is one figure I still haven't acquired yet. Need to get one of him. Great catch there!

Cliffjumper · Post by **Cliffjumper** » Tue Sep 27, 2011 5:34 am

very cool! when did he come out? never seen the 25th anni version??

It's still in stock as of this post. However...they've went "in-and-out" of stock 4 different times. Lots of those times selling out in mere hours. Folks were literally hovering over their computers hitting the refresh button trying to catch the next listing update. And then only to have them sell out again while they had one in their cart trying to complete checkout.

Cliffjumper wrote:very cool! when did he come out? never seen the 25th anni version??

The first wave went on sale 8-25-11, though this was originally slated for an October 2011 release date. The 25th Anniversary commemorates the 25th anniversary of the '86 animated movie and Unicron himself.

I still say he looks awesome! I'm going to head over to Amazon tonight to take a look at it.

I've been a little busy. I took some pictures. Couldn't get the brightness to work out too well.

First, it was time for a new Wheelie figure. Too bad he didn't come with his slingshot (guess there was a mold issue). Can anyone guess who's weapon he is holding? People have been callin' him Wheelimus Prime/Masterpiece Wheelie. He is a big, heavy, metal loaded piece of goodness.

Also, Grimlock... Had to get Grimlock.

And, we all knew this was going to happen sooner or later.

I also picked up Guzzle at Meijer's (I think I shared that earlier but here's a pic).

This is a knock off of Overlord. He doesn't have a base mode But, he does have a third split mode. A drill submarine. I forgot to take the pic of that though. An actual Overlord is just too expensive for the near future.

And this one, I went ahead and broke down and paid the ransom for on ebay. Stupid hefty ransom.

And, here is a pic or two of the group.

I have a master list of Tformers that I want to own and most of these were off that list. Several more to go, though!

Post by **Minerva** » Wed Sep 28, 2011 9:04 am

Nice finds, Countdown! That KO Overlord is kinda cute. How is the toy quality (plastic, joints etc.)?

Roadbuster · Post by **Roadbuster** » Wed Sep 28, 2011 4:03 pm

Nice haul, Countdown!

Which make/version of Wheelie is that? Looks like a pretty sweet mold! And Windcharger has been showing up at TJ Maxx and Ross's nationwide at clearance prices....so the secondary market on Ebay isn't quite as crazy as it once was. Nice finds!

Finally picked up HFTD Terradive. And I absolutely LOVE this mold.

Can't believe I waited this long to get him....

But now that I've transformed him a few times, he comes highly recommended!

Optimus Maximus · Post by **Optimus Maximus** » Thu Sep 29, 2011 2:50 am

Finally found MP Roddy and damn im glad I got him, however I dont think he is all that impressive. I feel sorry for you guys that bought the Takara version. If I had to pay any more than the 60 bucks I did I would have felt really ripped off. I know the Takara comes with the trailer but still. I even feel that 60 was high. Either way though I'm glad I found one that has no QC problems and Its a nice addition to my collection.
