    That sucks man. Especially since this guy was a shelfwarmer in my area when he came out. Good luck in your search!

    So today I bought these two:

    [​IMG]

    Hun-Gurr was 25% off at Myer and Barricade was only $19 at Target, which is a steal when compared to normal deluxe prices down here.

    I also got Battletrap on Friday! Got lucky and found Roadtrap at Target and then found Battleslash at Myer. He's right in the middle of this groupshot of everything I've got since I last posted last year:

    [​IMG]

    Got Cosmos, Quake, Krok (who is my absolute fave atm), and Octane two months ago when Big W was clearancing them out; Swoop and Slug two weeks ago; Elita-1, Dreadwind, and Outback last month; and I got Misfire late last year or early this year (can't remember tbh).

    Also got Sky Shadow last month and Legends Overlord around the start of the year:

    [​IMG]

    Oh, and I got MP Dinobot last month too...who I still have not transformed. Partly because I'm scared I'll break him and partly because I love his dino mode so much:

    The Impossible Toys Glypher. Impossible Toys Glyph.jpg
    She is one of my favorite Transformers and a character in my Gravity Falls (my other big fandom)/TF crossover, I mentioned here, if I ever do get around to writing it. She and Tap-Out, will be paired up with the elder set of twins, Ford and Stan. As an expert on data decryption, languages, forensic science, & archaeometry, she pairs well with the guy with 12 PhDs.

    Seeing as her original figure was a convention exclusive and cost $100 on average, she was one of my collecting grails. Then I found out that Impossible Toys produced one. Now she still eluded me due to the fact that she averaged $30. But I lucked into her for $10 (shipping included). I still need Tap-Out, but luckily for me Big Bad Toy Store has him, Wasp, Bumper, Hubcap, and Goldbug. I just need to get the funds (or direct people wanting to get me something for Christmas ;) ).

    Why not start writing it now? I put off starting writing before and now that I'm 30% of the way through the first draft of my book, I regret putting it off for almost two years. Have fun with it!

    Was she the keychain one?

    I must not be searching for these right because I can't find them anywhere. Not even online.

    I currently am writing 5 different stories based in the Gravity Falls universe, with two more on hiatus. A superhero au with 71 chapters and 7 chapters of shorts that are in the universe but aren't necessary to enjoy the main story, a zombie au, a next generation story, a Power Rangers au, a story where Wendy goes into prowrestling (it's my writer's block breaker story). I also randomly write shorts that aren't connected to any of the aforementioned stories. So mainly I haven't started it cause I don't want to spread too thin.

    Yeah, the con version was.

    I'm going to check these out. Thanks for posting!

    Okay. $40 is the cheapest it is right now. Still that Impossible Toys one looks pretty dope.

    I have a few of the Impossible Toys figures...

    Tap Out
    Cliffjumper
    Hubcap
    Bumper

    I saw a couple of the original Glyph toys on EBay yesterday and they were under $100.

    I like the Impossible Toys Mini Autobots though the heads are a bit lacking. Certainly Hub Cap and Bumper. The heads are just too flat and I don't like the optics on Hubcap.

    It's a shame because in every other respect they're great representatives of the characters but let's be honest if the heads are off, that's a big let down.

    Don't get me wrong there's plenty official Transformers with awful heads such as Rotf Nightbeat, Diaclone Optimus Prime, G1 Cyclonus, G1 Galvatron, Slingshot, Bulkhead, Rattrap and Powermaster Prime.

    Thank you & you're welcome. I hope you find some enjoyment in them.

    Of course, after I get her she drops. But you know what, I'm glad I got the one I did. I love her.

    I dunno, maybe I was always looking at the wrong time. I only remember once since I got back into TF collecting that I found her for $80. Eh, I'm happy with the one I got.

    I hope to be able to get at least Tap-Out and Wasp. I would love to get Bumper and Hubcap, but they aren't as high of a priority. And from what I've seen online I don't think I'll have a problem with any of their faces.
    I just wish I had been collecting back when these first came on the market. I would have gotten them all.

    Also finally got the chance to photograph a Bluestreak I must have picked up late 2017 but never properly featured!

    Bluestreak01.jpg Bluestreak02.jpg

    The thing about not getting much stuff nowadays is that I can actually spend good time with things I bought earlier and gave little time to.

    All the best

    Stopped into Walmart on Sunday morning to look for the third issues of DC's 100 Page Giants (Superman and Justice League), and happened to find Novastar! She was racked off in a different section of the aisle as if someone was trying to hide her among some other figures.
