    I could not make up my mind between Convoy and Soundwave. He was really cool to sell me both figures for $50 each. I think he is my favorite dealer from now on.

    My Haul for this week.

    Animated Atomic Lugnut. I wasnt going to get him, but I love the radiation symbols and the garish colors.

    Toys R Us Exclusive Countdown. Found him in the store (The Alameda in San Jose, Ca if anyone else is in that area) Awesome figure.

    Energon Checkpoint. He's my first figure in that mold. I dig him, now bring on Thunder Clash.

    Finally found my Animated Wreck-Gar. Been looking for him for ages. That Alameda Toys R Us was really well stocked.

    Cybertron Override GTS. Im not really sure why I got this one, but I think I succumbed to plastic crack addiction.

    Toys R Us Exclusive Darkwind. Again, found him at the Alameda Toys R Us in San Jose. He goes very well next to my Botcon Dready.

    Cybertron Shortround. I just love this mold ever since I got the movie version.

    Energon Cliffjumper. I know I have his legs transformed improperly, but I just like it better that way. My only complaint with this figure is that I wish he was smaller. He'd make a perfect Deluxe size IMO.

    It was a good day today for finding stuff locally. At TRU I got Animated Waspinator and Samurai Prowl doubles. I had already opened my eBay ones but now I have some crisp new misb. Also I got my double for Swindle. I had held off opening him before because I like the design so much. I really love his toy, it has a lot of character. Finally there is activator Cliffjumper I got from Kmart last week. I went back to find another today but it seems that only he has been picked bare. All the Grimlock, Megatron etc were still there - just no Cliffjumper. That's a sure bet that collectors are doing the buying and not kids because the shows with Cliffjumper have not aired here yet.

    Still not enough money for MP Grimlock :( 

    The pics are done by my wife. She is trying to learn photography. We just got a Nikon D90 and she is shooting everything she can.

    I don't care for the wing decos on Thrust and Dirge. They clash with the solid color on the fuselage.

    I finally got Onslaught...held off for a long while till I dropped into K-Mart. It had two diff price tags on it. One normal white one and the other was the yellow-green clearance tag. I though it weird dropping from $27.99 to $21.99 so I took it to a price scanner. Scanned it and it came up $17.60 so this was a no brainer. Grabbed it and headed to the register. Got it for under the $20 dollar mark so I was happy.

    Just bought MP Grimlock for $140 from a weekly collectable show. Since I don't have to pay shipping I consider it a very good deal.

    That was a great buy Preaking! Great find! I had to pay over $200 for mine thru BBTS. But they have always been reliable and consistant.
