Maximo Prime

Here's my xmas haul, granted it's a double post thanx to the xmas thread, but here's my thoughts on these new acquisitions: Prime's bot mode is better, Meg's alt mode is better. Both are cool, though. Purple eyes for Prime? Nuttin but gold. I love these guys, and with their addition to my collection, I have completed Cybertron (unless Black/Red Prime goes on clearance... even then... maybe.) Reverb - missing ghost from end of Jedi? Blitzwing, Blaster, Steeljaw and... Rewind? Eject? (damn i forget). This makes 3 Blitzwings, and two are heading to the End Cap. Keep an eye out there if you're interested. Blaster - finally, after all this time, he's mine, complete, and working!! Finally, I own the Stunticons. Before I had that bootleg set, missing two guys, then added a genuine Wildrider to the set. (You can see my Fakasor in the background). Sad to find though, that aside from the Menasor mask, the other parts don't fit. Pegs are too big, and i'd rather just buy the real McCoys than alter the KO parts. I have Motormaster's 2 weapons, and the 4 cars' vehicle blasters, two pistols, and this third weapon that i don't know what it is... I'll research it later.) SWEET!!! MORE SWEET!!! and i'm quite proud of their sticker quality and my application of said stickers. I'm so damn close to 900 TFs i can TASTE IT!!

gah... i hate correcting words here, i feel like a dork doing it - But was happy when i was corrected about this, so here goes: it's "for all intents and purposes". :)

nice cashier!! Classics Grimmy does in fact... ROCK.

Thank you. I'm gonna go look up some info on them now. (now that you mention it, i totally see sixknight, i've just never seen him before and didn't make the connection) EDIT: so help me, if you get me prematurely interested in Japanese baseformers, i'm gonna smack you. :redface

who are the guys on either side of kup? and no, not the obvious ones :) the old-school ones.

He looks better in that pic. :wtf There's a wheel stuck on its side. That's RM Convoy I think. And they designed the Classics ver 2 Prime in the same fashion. Except his gun has more of a tommy gun look to it. no, actually STPrime did some paint alterations to his 2pack Classics Prime, which is what you see...also altered or replaced the gun. :)

Shadow Recon for Hanukkah! Go being Jewish!! :thumb :clap

Complete Blaster, naked Steeljaw, complete Rewind. 5 Stunticons, with 4 car blasters, and a few pistols. Vintage Blitzwing, missing only missiles. Non-TFing MPOP Trailer from Justitoys, and full length smokestacks for MPOP as well. Today was a GOOD day.

Classics Grimlock and Mirage!!! Yummy.

Quake and his buddies!! Wow, GI Joe Titanium Megatron certainly borrowed a page from this guy...

my fiancee picked up Hightail and Shadow Minicon Team for me, as stocking stuffers... the only reason i know now, is i told her to pick them up as soon as possible, as they might not be around when she gets around to them... :) YAY!! CYBERTRON COMPLETE!! well. as far as I'm gonna go - No Megatron (Galvatron's better), and unless he goes on clearance, no red/black Prime.

PRIMAL PRIME!!! aww yeah.

two Dinokings? wow.

alt Prime! :)

Ever feel like you're going onstage after KISS? Here's my haul. G1 Rumble. (whistles... looks back and forth, shuffles feet) (listens to crickets) Yup, that's it. :) On a cool note - i fixed his head spring, then went to my frenzy, who always had a lazy head, popped it off, and found - NO SPRING! found one from a pen, fixed him too! Yay for my rumble and frenzy!!

hey tom, who'dja get Repugnus from? I just hauled (all G1): Bumper (Bumblejumper), Hubcap, Sandstorm, Quickmix/Ricochet/Boomer.

hey tom - sorry i didn't get back to ya!! In the mail - BWN Corahda, A-Rhinox+Ironhide, G1 Glyph, and BW Tripredacus Agent (the TM2 Cheetor). YAY!!! Gathering Ravage!! plus Corahda straight out rules!!

Wow... That's NICE. nice to see him next to Prime. So tired of pictures of figures with NOTHING to reference the size. Coming soon from a trade: 5 Stunticons plus guns, no Menasor parts (my KO bits will do just fine) Vintage Blitzwing Also, from ebay: Vintage Blitzwing (don't ask ;) ) and from my bro Hec: TWENTY SIX MICROMASTERS!!!! You know me n my huntin. Picked up the Astro Squad (Phaser/Blast Master, Moonrock/Missle Master, Barrage/Heave), the Metro Squad (Wheel Blaze/Road Burner, Power Run/Strikedown, Oiler/Slide), Retro/Surge, Full-Barrel/Overflow (to go with their base/trucks, that I already have), Neutro/Takedown/Groundpounder from the construction patrol, Flattop with his base, Roller Force/Ground Hog/Barricade from the race track patrol, Free Wheeler/Tailspin from the race car patrol, and Tailwind from the Air Strike patrol. Thanx hec!! BTW - lookin at my files, I noticed a couple other notable bits - I actually crossed $2000 in transformer purchases this year (which is a lot for me), and my Vintage Blitzwing from ebay is my 250th TF this year, which is more than I've purchased in 2004 and 2005 combined (223). Course back then, I wasn't buying Micros, which are easy to grab in huge numbers... also, for the number nerds like myself out there - in 2004, my average cost per figure (ACF) was $10.96. in 2005, my ACF was $7.57. in 2006, so far my ACF is $8.32 (again, owing to cheap Micros).

BW Rattrap (pre-TM) and Polar Claw!!! YAY!!! Thanx D'con1976 :) Anyone know where to find a barrel for his pistol?

Titanium Jetfire and Thundercracker!! JF's left arm transformation, with the fist thing, is really annoying. Gotta pop off the rear stuff just to get the fist out again. Other than that, they're cool as hell!

Yeah i'm feeling that too

classics 'Bee and 'Rod!! I must say - given the solid construction, great transformation, wonderful sculpt, nice paint job, and the fact that we've waited 22 years for a decent Bumblebee figure - Classics Bumblebee is one of the single most satisfying Transformers of all time. (it really tipped in his favor that we haven't had a good Bee fig in FOREVER...) Oh, and Hot Rod is awesome too.

Simon - nice haul!!

Classics Screamer and "wah there's too much weight I can't make it to Cybertron even though we're weightless in space". TRUE JOY.

Holy Blote, dude, NICE. :beer Don't feel like editing my previous post - Cl Op and Cl Megs are AWESOME... very playable, posable, stable, feel solid... can't say enough about em. Got my Meg's gun arm to stand straight too! :P
