Scrash

Anyone know where I can buy FE TF:Prime figures, such as FE Deluxe Bumblebee and FE Voyager Optimus Prime?

They'll be returning to TRUs during the fall and winter seasons, though places like BigBadToyStore and Amazon probably still have some FE 'Bees left for about retail price.

Hey, so I'm currently in a deal where I'm getting an SDCC Bruticus, but I don't quite have enough right now on my PayPal account. I just need ten dollars or so to cover the shipping. Can anyone here help me out? I'll pay you back, of course; it's just a matter of doing a transfer, which takes time, which I don't exactly have. Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.

Pretty self-explanatory. This round, I've got Ultimate Dume's Kraahkan and a solid black Kanohi Jutlin that I had commissioned for me a while back. The Jutlin is pretty glossy, comparable to a black Hau or Pakari from the blindpacked mask sets. The axle peg isn't painted, so that nothing gets scraped off after being used for some time.Jutlin | KraahkanI have an idea of what I want to sell these for, but feel free to make offers.As always, thanks for stopping by.

TFC has most of my interest as far as third party products go - as Hercules/Devastator looks amazing, and they seem to be doing a nice job with Uranus/Superion. I'm really hoping for a Menasor or Predaking from them, though.

I kinda had a feeling that that was what was going to happen when they announced the "forty new Generations toys!" a while back. Hopefully that's not counting the former Asia-exclusives and maybe we can get a nice triple-changing voyager Blitzwing?

Pretty much the same boat I'm in, haha.Well, I caved and purchased Dead End today. He's really awesome in a silly, G2 sort of way, but still manages to have a creepy, weird vibe to him. Definitely a neat figure to expand my Prime 'cons.

Yeah, they're pretty neat, and the more of the SDCC Bruticus I see, the more I like him. He's got Scramble City-type limbs, so I'll be swapping Blast Off and Swindle for sure (as that's the configuration that I like the most, seen in this pic) for this version (though my current plan calls for SDCC Bruticus to be displayed in the individual robot modes and G2 Bruticus in combined mode and the mass retail version in individual vehicle modes if I end up getting them all, which is a pretty big if).

This is the original Ruination from the Robots in Disguise era. He was a retool/redeco of G1 Bruticus and his Combaticon components.Some of the Aligned Wreckers - apparently - combine(d, seeing as Impactor and Roadbuster are dead in Prime) into Ruination, and all of his components are retool/redecos of the FOC Bruticus and his Combaticon components (with Emirate Xaaron's head). It's a weird, if not kinda cool, homage. My main issue with it is the fact that they used Whirl instead of Rotorstorm, especially since the latter had that one line from Last Stand of the Wreckers.Speaking of Bruticus, is there anyone here that's going to be camping out on HTS that'd be willing to purchase two of the SDCC version? I'd happily reimburse you, and cover for shipping, if that becomes necessary.

All right. PM me when you're ready to exchange info.

Um... for everything I'm willing to sell (which would be the above plus a teal Kakama, orange, purple, and light blue Pakari, dark grey Hau, yellow Hau, yellow Komau, orange Ruru, and a trans-blue Ruru), I'd say about $28 USD (a bit high due to the rarity of the copper Huna and TNGMs), factoring in shipping to the UK.

'tis fine. So, I know you said that you're looking for any 2001-2003 masks, but of the ones I mentioned, are there any in particular that you want?

Would you be okay with buying, though? Say, via PayPal or something? I'm just not interested in trading for Bionicle stuff.

I have a black Kanohi Hau, a blue, brown, and red Pakari, a US copper Huna, and four TNGM for sale. Would you be at all interested in buying these (I'd much prefer to sell; I'm not in the market for buying Lego stuff)?EDIT: I also have various masks released in the 2001-2003 sets, namely the Turaga, Toa Nuva, and a few of the Rahi. I figured you were referring to the blindpacked masks, though.

Well, it seems that Hasbro won't be releasing Breakdown or Gaia Unicron, according to what people are saying from Comic-Con. I guess that means I'll have to have them imported. Breakdown was going to be mine one way or the other, and that Unicron looks too sweet to pass up completely....aaaaand he's sold out. =/I'm still determined to get the SDCC Bruticus somehow, though, even if I have to pay scalper prices for it. I kinda want the G2 version as well, if not just 'cause it's so cheap ($60 for five deluxes in an exclusive deco in a fancy box really isn't that bad). Not sure I'll bite on the retail versions or not, especially since I kinda really want those Wreckers.

Yeah, "Gaia Unicron," if I remember. Hopefully the two figures get released domestically; I'd definitely take them over some of the future Voyager repaints.

Well, looks like I'm not getting those Masterpieces as I'd originally planned. Too much awesome here. Swerve and Springer and the three Asia-exclusive Voyagers are mine (I'd ask what happened to Brawn, but I reeaally don't care, haha). Hopefully I can sell off my RID Optimus so I can get my hands on him and Bulkhead (I already paid scalper prices for Screamer =/). The Prime Voyagers all look great, though I really hope we get Ironhide after Kup; I don't really like that deco. I'll be trying to get the SDCC Bruticus and the Wreckers out of those molds.My main concern is this: where's Breakdown and the Jet Vehicons, and do I really have to import their AM versions just to get them?

Well, I saw the FOC Wave 1 at TRU today and picked up Shockwave (was half-tempted to scalp the other one, haha). He's really nice, but gah, he doesn't scale nicely with anything I have (he's shorter than Prime Soundwave, so he doesn't fit well with Prime, and I'm not really doing CHUG anymore...). =/ I'm thinking that I might do a FOC collection alongside Prime and Masterpiece, but I'm confused as to what to do, since I'm not sure we're getting a new Megs, and then there's Voyager Soundwave/Soundblaster, who scales even worse than the last Deluxe did with the FOC toys. I guess I'm gonna really hope for a Prime Voyager Shockwave to be made one of these days.

I don't mind the different factions, though admittedly, they seem to be getting a bit numerous - Autobots, Decepticons, Starscream, MECH, and possible Star Seekers (seeing as Thundertron's getting a toy).

I actually liked his IDW incarnation, where he'd actually be really vicious in a fight, but was still the cold and logical machine that we all knew. I just don't like when he's loyal to Megs (Animated being the exception), so I've preferred how they've set up the Aligned version to lean towards the Marvel comics incarnation as far as loyalties are concerned (to Cybertron, I believe someone said). And since Megs is responsible for Cybertron's demise, I'd definitely like to see how the two interact when the time comes in Prime. Perhaps Starscream can at last find some semblance of an ally in Shockwave and a disgruntled Knock Out (who, let's face it, hasn't been treated that well since Megatron returned)?

Classics/Hunt for the Decepticons/Universe/Generations.Yeah, BotCon attendees got a preview clip that had a quick glimpse of Shockwave. According to people that saw him, he looked like his videogame counterpart, but with a slightly different head and a slightly skinnier frame. I'm assuming (hoping, really) that he'll show up sometime this season, if not in the finale.EDIT: Here's his AM listing. He looks like he'll have a slightly different deco, but that's likely 'cause he's in need of all the stickers and such.

We've apparently got Wave 4 here, too. I saw the new Bumblebee deco at my local Target. Still looking for Shockwave; I kinda just want him for my Prime collection, since reports from BotCon said the show version looks similar enough to his FOC incarnation (he's also getting an Arms Micron variant, so I dunno). I just don't care enough for Optimus and Jazz to pick them up, especially since I've stopped collected CHUG figures. I'm hoping the Prime Insecticons get figures, too, though I imagine those'll be a pain to army-build with. If not, I think I'll opt for FOC Kickback (and also Hardshell and Sharpshot if they get made into toys).

Well, I think I'll soon rack up just enough cash to get MP-11. I've seen enough of it to know that it has all my want. I should have MP-12 coming in from someone else, and I have MP-13 on preorder. I just have to wait 'til there's a Hasbro release for MP-10. The $200+ price tag on the Takrara version makes me too hesistant, and I also have Prime toys to consider. Oh, well. Should be a good year, and FOC Shockwave has already started to appear stateside, so there's much hutnting to be done.

They look pretty freaking sweet, honestly. As an army-builder, it's even better. Just have to, you know, find them.

I think Welker's Prime Megatron voice or a variation of it could suit Teridax, what with that really calm, collected, planned out evil that it oozes. I'd like to see Blum take on Zaktan, though.

I thought a lot of the movie voice actors, at least from the first trilogy, fit their respective characters well enough. I'd like to see David Kaye as Icarax, though. I think his voice has the perfect amount of menace for the Makuta of Karzahni.
