That would be great to hear your method for repainting. Thanks

if anyone wants some of the animated $5 off of 19.99 purchase I still have some left over from mcdonalds happy meals. when I seldom purchase animated figures I have been forgetting to use these, they expire monday

I am might bite the bullet to see if I can get the last one after work but I doubt that it would be there this evening. I did not find much after work....oh well.

That Trailbreaker is pretty nice. As far as Cap goes I haven't seen him around here. However, he has hit retail elsewhere.

Just found smokescreen at target wash sq, none left, and at target beav on 8, which had 2 left after I got one for periL75

I've seen a custom Trailbreaker and Gears (I think) from Wolverine and they turned out really nicely. My vote is for Trailbreaker since the alt mode fits the name best.

Cap into Swindle would be really sweet, I say go for it. Has Cap been seen out at retail yet?

Here's the Trailbreaker, although I'm not a fan of the head he used all in all it's a nice custom

Hey there Wraith Prime. I grew up with G1 so I can relate. However my brother-inlaw (who isn't a TF fan) got me into watching BW. After the first episode I was hooked. I became a collector all over again. I couldn't stop until I had all the BW figures from the show and then started buying the ones that weren't on the show. To this day I still display them proudly. Of course now I am only interested in the classics universe line excluding the BW figures. I'm just not into the designs so far.

Now changing gears slightly. I am really digging the the Captain America and Wolverine TF's. With a different head and paint job these will be part of my Universe collection. I'm seriously considering turning Cap. Am. into Swindle. Not to sure what to do with Wolverine though. I want him to be a Decepticon to help even out the sides, but at the same time I think he would make a really cool Trailbreaker or possibly Gears. Any thoughts?

Nice set of Jazz figures. In terms of new figures, I am holding out for the Henkei versions. Through June, I only have 5 figures on my list.

Here's a groupd shot of some of my Jazz's. The legends I comissioned from big hank, the articulate G1 is from turboedguy and the classics is all me
