Picked up all three wave 3 duders yesterday. Ironhide isn't really that great, especially when compared to Sideswipe. Why they couldn't use the same color of red on Ironhide that they used on Sideswipe is beyond me. Ironhide looks kind of cheap.

But they're great, and even better at $7.77 at WM.

I also saw the Ultra Storm Cloud (Powerglide repaint) today. Pretty easy pass.

Picked up Animated Swoop last night. This guy is really neat. Again, the $7.77 price is great.  :)

I'm kinda wishing I didn't get into the animated line.  Just not enjoying them as much as I thought I would.   :-\

Looks like e-hobby is rereleasing Sunstorm & black Megs.  Can't wait for Sunstorm.  Also hearing that Trailbreaker and Hoist are next for Encore.

That is one bight orange jet.




Looks okay, but not all that exciting to get me to drop another $100 on it.

He must work for CalTrans  ;D

I've been out of the Tranformer collecting for a long time now, but $8 for one.  Jeez I feel ripped off buying SW fig even more so.  Don't TF's have a lot of moving parts and involve a lot more plastic, depending on the size, and packaging material.

Masterpiece Grimlock

What a tease.   >:(    ;)


That is such a crock of ****. I would sooner they didn't post a picture then put that thing up. I may get this once we see what it looks like. I liked the Masterpiece version of Megatron better than the G1 release, and Grimlock is one of those from G1 that I want.

In other news.... Energon Bruticus is going to be re-released as a Universe toy.  Good thing I have another crack at him because as I passed on his previous incarnation as I did with Devastator back in the day (what was it, 04?)

Masterpiece Grimlock

I know it's Grimlock, but $150 is an awful lot of money. I'll decide when I see real pics.

I might get that set too. I always liked the combiner sets. I would like it if they were to make a Devestator that more closely resembles the G1 version than that incarantion that they did a few years ago.

Tough to pull the trigger on any of these new items.  I've been wanting a MP Grimlock for a while, but my general rule is nothing over $100 on TF's.  If he's larger than Optimus and others, I don't want him anyway.  :P

The figure will have an LED light in the right fist for the ability to light up the gun and the sword. The eyes can also change colors in both modes, and the figure is partly made up of die cast construction.

"Haggisjin" writes that accessories allow for a "waiter mode," which explains the tray the figure is holding in dino mode.

Looks like I will be getting this one. I will gladdly let Lucas play with the one I picked up 2 years ago that is the cheesy knock off.
