Happy Holidays everyone. I'll be in the cities tomorrow afternoon around noon at the Hot Comics near Frankie's. I'm bringing up a bunch of transformers that I'm overstocked on to trade/sell to Mike. If anyone wants to stop by and say hi, I would be more than happy to wish them a Happy New year.
Masterpiece Sunstreaker showed up late last night from The Chosen Prime. Looks like Bad Cube's Sunsurge is either going into storage, or I'll see if someone wants him for cheap. With that, that was the last of my Christmas/holiday purchases for the month. What'd everyone get for Christmas (or just the month in general)? Fans Toys Terminus Giganticus (not-MP Omega Supreme) Bad Cube's Wardog (not-MP Warpath) Bad Cube's Huff (not-MP Huffer) Masterpiece Sunstreaker Also got... A Nintendo Switch with Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Super Mario Oddysey, and Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (along with the Expansion Pass for all the DLC).
I wanted to create a group for us on meetup.com so we could be a bit more organized but I never got any response.
First off, you'll have to let me know how Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is. I got into Chronicles X on the WiiU, but that was because it had giant transforming robots. I like those. Second, while I didn't get any TF's FOR Christmas, I did get wave 1 Prime masters, TLK Wave 3 Bee, RiD Twinferno, and PotP Starscream in december. The more I play with Starscream, the more I like his torso mode. It seems like most of the engineering for him went into that, tho. For Christmas, I got: Starfinder Core Rulebook Pawns w/stands (Space D&D, basically) Big Trouble in Little China boardgame (well, a preorder for it, at least. It's not out yet. It seems a little... messy, but my wife knows it's one of my favorite movies of all time, so it's a cool gift regarldess of how it plays Everything Epic - Store )
Christmas Haul 2017 Edition If you take charge, people will follow. It's hard to get us motivated to do them very often, with Frankie Con and all that going on.
So, got my Metalhawk/Micronus and the upper thighs on the Prime itself are backwards. Has anyone had to pop pins on a Titanmaster yet? Curious if it'd be as...easy?...as Godbomber.
Did anyone ever see the TLK deluxe Hot Rod? He and Cogman are the last two boxes I need to tick for TLK.
I got Hot Rod, but I had to order him off WalMart's site a few months back (doesn't appear to be in stock now). No cogmans that I'm aware of, though. WalMarts around here are just starting to get Wave 3 TLK Deluxes, so IF we see wave 4, it probably won't be for a month or two.
If anyone is still looking for a Titans Return Overlord, saw one at the Brooklyn Center Walmart this morning. They also had PotP Legends for about $7. The only thing I bought were two TLK 1/24 scale cars Bumblebee and Crosshairs. They still have two more Bees and two Barricades.
Brickseek suggests there may be some PotP Voyagers at Midway Target. So looks like...ahem... it has begun.
I was there last night and there was not a single TR or PotP figure of any size class on the shelves.
I think I heard that Targets will be doing toy aisle resets after new years...they'll probably all be in stock in the next week or so.
