Raider Magnus

One last Citibot...

Ten Years Later. Still No.

TЯU in Allen has a bunch of Warpath, Thundercracker and WheelJack on the pegs.

In a couple of TJM Stores I've found the wave with G2 Prime, Bumblebee, Perceptor, and so forth for $6.99 Also found a few of the G1 Legends guys for $3.99

Thundercracker is online kmart.com and hasbrotoyshop. Sadly HTS shows out of stock and the one on Kmart is the DOTM T-C Thanks though. May have to puy at Entertainment Earth or BBTS and choke on the shipping

Am hearing rumours that the wave with TC, WJ and WP are thin on the ground because, yes- you guessed it. Movie figs crowdign everything out. So waiting years for a TC in the states tossed aside as they throw a bajillion more movie toys out there to warm the pegs. *sigh* Further rumours are that these lots will instead turn up in places like Kohl's, and the like. PS: What about Reveal the Sheild Grappel? Anyone?

If anyone is interested, TЯU in Allen has a bunch of the new DotM stuff. Saw leader sized Sentinel Prime and Bumble. Still no sign of Thundercracker. Has ANYONE seen him?

No one has seen Thundercracker yet have they?

Wow, Zayre's huh? That's sweet! Nobody I ever talk to even remembers that store but I loved it when I was a kid. That and Venture. Two great stores! Also, a Magnus helmed Autobots in season 3 would've been something to see. Holy shit I didn't think anyone remembered Zayers or Venture, Oddly enough add Hills and those where like the greatest place to get toys when I was a kid. Heck yeah, Zayre At Zayre, I got 3 Dinobots for the price of one because the guy that stickered them did it wrong at 5.99 when they were supposed to be 15.99 Went in with my allowance to buy just Grimlock, walked out with Grimlock, Slag and Snarl - and a BIG grin. Went back later that week to see if I could get Sludge and Swoop but they'd already corrected the pricetags.

Yeah I was a Magnus Fan from the day I saw the toy in the Sunday Paper toy ads- Zayre was the store I believe. Even on first viewing the movie at the theatre I could see that the only reason the Matrix reponded to Roddy and not to Magnus was because when Optimus had (forgive me) primed it for it to bond with the next leader, Roddy had to touch the danged thing first. Seeing how it upgraded his weak @$$ and made him somewhat more impressive, it's always made me wonder what it would have done for Magnus if he'd been teh first to touch it as originally intended. That plus, I figure we'd have a season three with Magnus Prime somberly and humbly kicking Deciptibutt from here to the the Magellanic Clouds.

What's the plastic quality on it? Looks kind of soft in the legs. Nah, plastic quality is fine. He's sturdier than the official WST Megatron by a long stretch. I'm just glad he's size appropriate. Real G1, Soundwave is about waist high to Blaster.

For those curious, here's a shot of WST Soundwave next to WST Blaster. Just got him. Got a Dirge and Ramjet on the way which will make all 7 Seekers.

MP Skywarp: Got'd

Here we go, better shots and hanging with Prime.

Well, been a while since I posted a haul but I got my Holy Grain of collection finally this week: Got him for $85 or so on eBay from a seller that listed him as having been displayed but never transformed. When I received him I was pleasantly surprised to find hte description was in fact too short of the mark. He had never even been unbound from the plastic moulding of the case at all. He was essentially MIB. AWESOMENESS!!!! More pics later, this is just quickies from the camera phone.
