He looks great to me

 

Yeah, it's only really in hand that I started getting the minor quibbles. Definitely very handsome in 'bot mode.

 

You think you’re nervous? I’m passing on the regular one because I’ve got the 3-Pack Preordered. I may only transform that beautiful blue bastard once. But then I’m buying the set for another Impactor and Powerdasher, not him.

He does look good in Bot mode though, I was hard pressed to just take Impactor. Especially since he was one my my first two Autobots.

 

Today’s arrivals! Already sold Aragon on, goofy looking ****, and since this Impactor has the ‘right’ head I’m not bothering with the mainline version. Need those leg fillers STAT though. As for Mirage, I like the mold and the transformation very much but BOY am I scared to ever transform this one ever again, or even move it around too much.



Guzzle and Brawn I basically bought for Wreckers completion but as it turns out, in hand, I like Brawn a lot more. Both alt modes are utterly tragic though.

 

Today's Amazon delivery. Impactor is lit.

 

Not necessarily new but I finally framed them.

 

BBTS delivered MP29+ today.

Also good news, MP44 just changed from preorder to processing.

 

Still empty handed on the Thundercracker Hunt, but I eventually caved on Springer. And found a second Sharkticon. I think that’ll do for Cyberverse Sharkticons for now. They’ll make for a decent pair of heavies for LG Gnaw.

 

While I like having a new G1 springer, finally from hasbro...



Careful of the tab on its left rear leg... mine sheared after the first transformation.



The plastic used is unforgiving in the small tab areas, and I am far from hamfisting like a 10 year old.

Maybe a defect, but it just "bent" when untabing easily, and the "stressmark" I thought I noticed, was in fact an actual disintegration of the plastic.

Last time I experienced this was legends rotf longhaul and his green plastic - the effect was like bending laffy-taffy and it turning to kinetic sand at the break.

I'm not overly fond of this new springer compared to the generations version, but it can pose better.

Ymmv.

I've got better things to do tonight...

...thanks to Kickin Toys!

 

Look who I found! One for me, one for another collector in town.

 

Finally got my hands on a complete G1 set of Abominus and Predaking!

 

Looks like local Walmart has decided to skip Springer entirely and go straight to the next wave.
I finally have Starscream's head!

Siege springer was the last TF I bought

 

Picked up a replacement for my floppy old Warpath, lucked out and found a untouched box of Wave 2 Botbots. At last I have the mighty Hamurai! And The In-Sole, I couldn’t pass on those colours!

Also preordered the Earthrise Micromasters and Cliffjumper, and added CW Golden Lagoon Starscream to my POL.

 

So I just bought a few Beast Wars toys including Rampage, and I was surprised by how large he was so I grabbed the most nearby Transformer available and I didn’t realize it until like ten minutes later but the figure I grabbed was too a Rampage.
