Yeah, I was wondering if it was wreckgar...but that's even weirder...he has inferno artwork to imply being a component of his Combiner... What is your choice for the forth limb... of Elita's combiner mode?

 

Four Starscreams and no Devys at Eagan Walmart. Handful of W1 Cyberverse and Bee Movie merch.

I've been buying up FunPub figures and standalone figures from the UW sets.

So for now my Elita-1 has Moonracer, Nova, Jazz, and UW Strafe while Starscream is using Dreadwind, Blackwing, Shattered Glass Starscream, and CW Blast-Off.

My Prime, Cyclonus, and Inferno currently are in bot mode with a handful of limb-bots displayed in bot mode around them. Once I finally have Wreck-Gar and Golden Starscream I'll shuffle things around more. At least until Hasbro announces some more limb exclusives and throws everything out of whack.

 

I went to this Walmart. They had 3 Starscreams still left and one lone Devastator that either someone tried to stash poorly on the end of the aisle, or it's where an employee chucked it.

I bought the Devastator as I never had one as a kid and am slowly building up a G1 collection. Upon transforming the set back and forth a bit, I can safely say...we've come a LONG way with Combiners from the 80s.

 

The White Bear Ave Target has the BB movie Soundwave and BB packs.

 

Got some gift cards from work for a few things and some credit card points.... Potp Predaking ordered off of Amazon for $25.14.  

 

I hate you.

Nothing personal.....

 

Grabbed a Devy and Starscream from Woodbury at close last night. 2 Devys and 3 or 4 Screamers left. Thanks for the sighting.

 

Yeah, this is why I'm on the fence about it. Sure it's vintage and all that...but the only G1 Combiner I completed as a kid was Piranacon and I never really bothered with the others until I snagged the Predaking reissue off Amazon for half price.

After that, sure...I maybe would've been hardcore about something like this. But with CW/UW/PotP I've *got* some great version of the original G1 combiners. I'll keep the two I currently have, but $70 for G1 Devy when I've got the CW Version....eh? Maybe if there's a price drop down the road.

(Don't get me wrong, I get why these cost what they do...6 figures that are somewhere between Legend/Deluxe size with diecast and accessories for $12 is honestly not that bad a price)

 

Considering what I've paid for a lot of re-released G1 toys in the past couple years, I'd say $74 for Devastator was a steal when my other options to get him were the Japanese re-release I saw on BBTS for $150, or hope to find a good condition original off eBay.

In all honesty, I haven't been feeling the modern Transformers stuff lately (CHUG, POTP, CW, etc)...especially seeing the Cyberverse and Bumblebee movie lines on shelves. I've been mainly sticking to Masterpiece/3rd party Masterpiece and G1 as of late.

I've even considered like some others maybe selling all my CHUG related stuff, but I know it'd be easier said than done as I definitely don't want to sell individual figures here as that would take forever.

I will say on the subject of G1 Devastator...is the connector where Bonecrusher attaches to Hook a commonly loose piece? When Bonecrusher is connected, he'll flop forward and backward when I pick up Devy.

 

Maple Grove Target has several Soundwave and Cassette sets

 

Studio Series Deluxe Wave... 3? VW Bee and Ratchet and stuff up on HTS, as are... uh, mighty muggs and cyberverse wave 2 junk.

Man, I really don't usually get super negative about the simpler lines, but so far Bee Movie and Cyberverse are just so clearly phoning it in and taking shelf space away from better things. =/

 

Targets are alledgedly getting that Funko Ultrazord soon, so if people want to keep an eye out that'd be great.

It's absurdly large, you won't likely miss it.

 

And they're not even using a nice phone with good call quality...

 

Landline. XD

I saw the tape set at target today, and I REALLY liked TR, but I picked it up and asked myself if I wanted to drop $30 on repaints and cool packaging, or if I wanted more TF cards... It's too bad, because I think there have been some phenomenal movie toys, but these are just... plain and dull.

 

Everybody who just got a G1 devy for the first time, make sure to get one of the kits that come with the hip upgrades that came out a few years ago (if you can still find them) - it makes him much, much, much more enjoyable. The JB-07 one especially.

 

My wife found some TCG cards at the Savage Target today. So maybe they are finally starting to trickle into the South Metro...

 

I couldn't find any at Bville, but I haven't seen one of the sidecaps in the wild yet so not sure where they've been sticking them.

 

The one I saw* was in the toys near the TFs


*note this was in Edina, not the South Metro

 

Image is broken for me. =/
