    OK, I am seldom excited about a haul, but I was compelled to share this because it's special....to me anyways. My best quality/bargain/cool TF(s) ever....including the one I posted earlier in the week with all of the combiner limbs MOSC. This one takes the cake.

    Anyhoo, at least once a week, someone posts a steal-of-a-deal that makes me envious, so here's what I got today after winning it earlier in the week. It exceeds my expectations in playwear (practically none and joints are still tight!) and in price....$50+shipping!!!! It's only missing Scattershot's little arm guns and two Lightspeed guns, but everything else is intact and nearly pristine. I know this would go for much more, so does anybody have a good estimate?

    So, why not dedicate this thread to the best all-time hauls?

    Box is out of shape a bit, but still presentable, but who cares?

    Awesome haul! Computron rules!

    That little Strafe is still one of my favs. He's been sitting loose on my dresser for a long time. Had as much fun with him as I did with the little Millenium Falcon I had.

    Great find at an outragously low price. Conrats.

    I had two steals I can think of.

    A few weeks ago I got Soundwave, Dark Crumplezone, CD Scattershot and I think a forth voyager class figure for $7.99 each. They go for $29.99 here in canada so I saved big bucks.

    The most valuble haul I got was a birthday present from my friends at former Dreamwave. They gave me that huge giant litho of all the transformers.(i think its the alternate covers that form into one giant pic) and i got an original page of WWI . Its the computron guys fighting I can't remember who.

    And i related our topics with Computron.

    That's about it for hauls aside from I use to get Japanese reissues for $45 canadian from the old cooltoys site.

    Thanx

    That's an awesome deal! Computron usually brings 100.00+ loose. As for my best haul ever, that would be when my best friend moved out of his childhood home he came accross his G1 toys from the 80's and GAVE me what amounted to just about the entire 1984-85 line in near pristine condition.
