I think ebay they are reaching that price because they are Frenzy/Rumble are sold out everywhere.

If I had none, it would be Jazz and Wreckgar. Of the ones I need, Perceptor, Kup, then Blurr.

 

Long Haul, I support your desision bro. There are times when life takes a different direction and sacrifices need to be made. Life is s short journey and we all have our needs and wants, takes a lot to change gears like this and I've done it before, but for entirely differently reasons, which some of you know about.  

I honestly hope you achieve your goals and this step improves the quality of this short ride  

I will try and snag one on my way home tonight after Ashley's car gets done with a tune up. Dropped it off yesterday morning.

That Kup head is so sweet! Puts me on the edge of buying Kup and getting the igear heads. Can't believe how accurate it is to the comics! The plug chewing one is what is selling me  

 

I'm content with all of the Hasbro versions. Jazz would temp me, but the Hasbro version can be sufficiently improved with the Reprolabels set (I've got a long list of those things that I need to order). I was thinking about getting Wreck Gar, but I really don't like the paint scheme on the United version. That ghosty-white face was a real turn off for me. Right now, the only United figure I kind of want is Scrapheap, so it doesn't help to know that Steve has some of those sets in stock.

I think you mean "Prowl," not "Jazz."   I'm in the same boat as I bought the case of 8 as well. I was planning to try to sell the other two, but your typo has me wondering how easy it would be to turn that Prowl into a Jazz since I passed on him during Universe 2.

 

DOH! you are correct. yes, I have an extra Prowl and trailcutter.

the head would be harder to mod, but it could be done.....

R!

 

Add Scourge, and that's my United to-buy list. Can't go 100% as I did with Henkei since I just don't feel as strongly for the theme of this line as opposed to Henkei. So I'll likely be sticking to Generations Kup and Wheeljack.

Still a number of past items I need to pick up too, like Protector and 2010 Unicron.

On a personal note, I've had about enough with my "Superiors" in my workplace so I'm looking to get out of this real quick. So if anyone knows of anyone hiring, let me know. I've sent the usuals out there: Boeing, TRU, Uwajimaya...

 

I encourage you to apply where I work. 19/hr between 40-60hrs a week depending on work load overtime is 28.5/hr. Its government contract work. If u get hired on directly u can have the oppertunity to deploy which would be $180-190,000k a year

 

The Marine reserves?!?!

 

No man, General Dynamics!! Working on strykers

 

Oh, I'm also thinking about maybe getting the United Voyager Megatron. It looks a lot better than the Henkei version.

 

Really? I got to see United Voyager Megatron at Palace Gifts when Steve had it in stock. I thought it was too plain myself. I like the Henkei version better.

 

I'm of the same opinion, but on the opposite end of the spectrum. I think Henkei Megatron is too busy with the giant chunk of chrome on his chest and all the red. I might feel differently when I see him in person, though.

 

You need engineering experience at all?

I agree. United Megs looks more like a robot than henkei Megs. Henkei Megs has too much red going on.

 

I'd have to say United Megs....I actually want that Black version from the Tokyo Toy Show the most. Gotta get my hands on that set...

 

Picked up a few more things with the Freddies sale. Found a MU Sunfire and Archangel at local FM.

 

No man if you are good at LEGO's you can get hired on there

 

LOL I was wondering the same thing. I just might throw in an app.

By the way, how's your week looking? I might not be able to meet up for that Scourge until later this week, seeing as I'm sick. But I do want to get it taken care of before all the SakuraCon fiasco I'll be dealing with come... shit, Thursday.

I guess if you come up anytime from Puyallup, let me know.

And about the Henkei vs United Megatrons: deal-breaker for me was the unpainted face. On NO TOY does an unpainted face look good. Not on Uni. Cyclonus, not Classics Starscream, none.

EDIT: Completely forgot to mention I stopped by Kent Target, and then Covington Fred Meyer and Walmart. Nothing at Kent Target. They haven't even ordered more cases from when I emptied out their backstock.

Covington Fred Meyer didn't really have anything, but I did pick up 2 Tracks' and an Ejector since they were all 20% off plus 50% off.

Nothing at Walmart. There was stuff there, just nothing I'm willing to buy for full price right now.

 

Hey no problem man anytime this week......I should be getting my iron man mark VI in from jimmy on wednesday

 

I may be behind the power curve on this but it looks like BBTS is getting the scout case with windcharger....so maybe those rumors are a bunch of Bull f#ckn sh*t

 

I already have all of the scouts except chopster, which is an easy pass for me since he's a repaint of a mold that I think sucks anways. $100 for 2 windchargers, is it worth it?

 

Yea, that would lead to having to dump way too many figures.
