Oh snap, 2 different versions!  Is it easy to tell the difference while still in the packaging?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Don't worry, its easy to see.

:clap My reissue soundwave comes in next week.  It gets shipped out on Mondayish thanks to good 'ol Cyclops from the boards here.  Hey Jag, you bought some for the whole board right?  One for each of us?

yesterday was a killer of a hual day all of this for under $55 and a TON of garage sales/thrift shops:

 

15-20 board games and puzzles

5000+ Staw Wars ccg cards (the early 90's ones, not the newer crap)

G1 lunchbox (red plastic one)

couple of Armada McD TF's (hot shot/red alert)

KO go bot tank guy (haven't looked it up yet)

Tony Hawks undergroun (ps2)

Gun (ps2)

Tomb Raider II (ps) w/guide

Civilization II (ps)

Guantlet Legends (ps)

Reel Fishing II (ps)

Spiderman (ps)

2 other games i can't remeber right now (both ps)

a mask toy truck

some old school 80's books (he-man, D&D, mask)

other odds and ends

In addition to the Cyb Metroplex I already mentioned, I went on a hunt for other stuff I dont have yet, (mainly Menasor, Alt Mirage, and the other latest releases stuff) I found a Mini Con vs pack I hadnt even heard about, Scrap Iron vs Grindor. A mini-Con with a satellite as an alt mode...never seen anything like it before...if he's just a repaint of an earlier toy line figure, I never saw it back then. Pretty neat, but Grindors robot mode is kinda silly...like Happy Meal toy silly. Reminds me of the vintage 80s Wendys GoBot Oddball (the purple spaceship).

Today I was able to find Cybertron Scrap Metal, Lugnutz, and Shortround as well as Dark Crumplezone, and all 3 packs of minicon Swat, and seeker repaints. :thumb

 

Also grabbed IDWs Infiltration 2/5 as well as Beastwars 4.

 

IMO the Scouts are by far the best. Really like all 3. :thumb

Went to Ottawa for Friday/Saturday to watch the Cirque Du Soleil's performance there (the show called "Quidam"), and passed by the TRU there...

 

- Cybertron Wing Saber [from TRU]

- Cybertron Menasor [from TRU]

 

 

No Voyager-size figures other than Mudflap, so no dice on a Dark Crumplezone.  A gazillion Optimus' and a single Galvatron were present, but no Metroplexes either.  Also no sign of Alt Prime...

Too bad Ottawa is about 2 hours drive away; otherwise I'd go to this TRU a whole lot more...  :P

...I had this rather lengthy conversation with a Japanese Transfan last week over why Hasbro had to use the "Rodimus" name instead of "Hot Rod"... it's just unheard of in Japan. :P

I bought BT-14 Wheeljack 2 weeks ago.

I could have spent less money if I bought BT Grimlock instead, 'coz they cost around HK$168 only.

 

but in terms of the color, I think wheeljack looks the best, and most importantly it's getting harder and harder to buy this piece. So finally, I smuggled this piece to my home on Mon evening.

 

im still 50/50 on getting wheel jack but he is nice looking...
