    Haha I've got the same with anime figures, Lego, and of course TFs. Piles upon piles of boxes still not even opened... I really should stop until I "catch up", but they keep releasing cool stuff!

    Still debating on whether to grab Cybertron/Primus, even at 30% off.

    My FT Terminus Gigantus (not MP Omega Supreme) is basically my bedroom door guard as he's too big to be anywhere else right now. LOL

    BTW, anyone other than me order the Fans Toys Rogue (not MP-Arcee)? Mine's on its way from The Chosen Prime now.
    Along with ToyWorld's version of an MP Seaspray...mainly cause I wanted a pudgy Seaspray and FT's was the opposite.

    My Weijang Ultima Guard has been stuck in China since the 17th. I'm getting impatient for that beast to arrive!

    I'm waiting on reviews of MMC's before deciding as I'm leaning more towards their "toyatic" ascetic over FT's toon one.

    My DX9 Powerglide made it from China to the US in 4 days. It has been sitting in New York for 9 days now.
    I should have ordered it stateside for an extra $10... He'd be in my display case by now.

    I've been building a mugenbine collection over the last 2 months, and I've gone through Jungle, Mandarake, Superbuy (they process stuff from Taobao for you to make sure you're not scammed), playmoya, ami ami, and various ebay sellers... it's all so super variable. Mandarake somehow manages to get things to me in a couple days, but I've had stuff from Hong Kong and China take a month. I've just learned to accept the wait, because now sometimes stuff shows up and it's a nice surprise when it does. XD

    Speaking of, if anyone has any of the Alphabet mugenbine that they're looking to part with, I need Junk Stagg, Mach Ptera, Needle Stego, and Victory Leon to complete my collection. :D

    I really want the DX9 Powerglide, but is the second release only available from sellers in China?

    Does anyone here know a reliable site to buy Super Mini-Pla from? Everyone seems to be selling the MMPR Megazord/Dragonzord but I'm looking specifically for Live Robo (and if god-willing, Live Boxer).

    Sadly, not anymore when I checked. T_T

    .....

    In other news! A few of the Studio Series Thundercrackers left at Northtown TRU. I got a few more Marvel Legends I was thinking about that were 30% off. Otherwise, not much else of interest.

    I did hear while checking out, an employee telling a lady the store has 8 more weeks left.

    Got my package from TCP yesterday...

    Having messed with both the Fans Toys Rogue (not MP Arcee) and Toyworld's Wavebreak (not MP Seaspray) yesterday I have to shockingly say, I enjoy Seaspray more. He's easy to transform and aside from some parts that should be painted over (Anyone interested in doing that?), he's a good representation of toon Seaspray.

    FT's Arcee though... Wow. I know a major point of contention with many on the boards is her hands/arms, but her shoulder bits really bug me as there doesn't seem to be any place for them to connect and probably stay on her back. They're held back there by tiny diecast joints, though one on mine is looser than the other. Her legs don't seem to have a lot of articulation to where you could get her in some super dynamic poses...that or my copy's legs are just so stiff they're just stuck.

    Have people seen Leader/Voyager PotP at Walmart lately? I saw a few tweets that they're ringing up at *deep* discounters (Starscream for $5 for example)

    If I could land an Optimus for under $30 I may be on board.

    Just left Maplewood TRU. TF and most figures are 30% off plus they have additional 10% off the total (sign says today only but I doubt that as I've see that sign multiple times at Northtown), which puts it around 37% off I think. Finally picked up Cybertron/Primus. After discounts he ends up $95 + tax, which was enough to get me to break down and get him. There are still 3 more on the shelf. Most other TFs have been picked over unless you want that combiner guy from TLK.

    Edit: Infernicus?
