    Lucked out at both Wally-mart and Target today. Found a SS86 Wreck-Gar and Sweep just chillin on the shelf at Walmart. Proceeded to Target and saw nothing good at first. Spotted an interesting looking Panthor toy in a big box, and decided to just take a look. Lo, and behold, spotted a Kingdom Galvatron hidden behind it. Yeah, so naturally, I had to bring him home too. He replaced my "Big Cannon" Galvatron that was on my shelf before (Big Cannon is kool, but MP scale). The Sweep is just like Scourge, just with a slightly lighter shade of blue, and his gun hand is opposite Scourge. Wreck-Gar is kool, but bigger than I expected. He kinda dwarfs the Power of the Primes Wreck-Gar that he's riding. Oh well. It was a good day. :)  If anyone is interested and feeling lucky, I left another Sweep on the shelf at Walmart in Medina, OH.

    Picked up SS86 Gnaw at Target today. Only one on the shelf. I've been wanting him. He's kool. I like him better in bot mode. Pretty sure I now have every version of Sharkticon except for the G1? Also, picked up RED Coronation Starscream just for his coronation gear and blast effects (I don't even care about the bot). They fit Earthrise Starscream pretty well, I think!

    Spotted another SS86 Junkion today, and had to get him as a proper sized ride for Wreck-Gar. Much better!

    Mail call brought me Jinbao Megatron today. He's a 5 inch KO of MP-36. I thought he would scale well with WFC, but not really. Had to put him on a riser. Even with a lift, he still looks like he got shot with Perceptor's shrink ray. I thought 5 inches would be kool, because some of my other WFC figures are around that height. But, it's not just about the height. It's the fact that he just looks smaller all around. He scales well with the likes of Magic Square Deadly Perceptor. Why is it the only 2 Megatron's (that I know of) that both look cartoon accurate and transform into a gun have to be the wrong size? MP-36 is too big (10 inches), and Jinbao is too small. I can't win. You'd think that at least one of the Third Party companies would have enough sense to make a cartoon accurate Megs with his original alt. mode in the same scale as WFC/Kingdom/SS86. P.S.~ I added the blast effects for fun :)  PA010010.JPG PA010006.JPG

    So, I decided that my Jinbao Megatron looks best displayed in my collection in gun mode. I picked up a RED Megatron to stand in until some 3rd party company decides to actually make a G1 accurate Megatron that transforms into a gun and is the same scale as WFC. At least the RED figure looks decent.

    Went to Wallymart after work today for a couple things, and left with nothing but yet another Sweep! 4 is my limit for Sweeps! I swear, I couldn't help myself! But, no more!

    So, I know this is a subtle change, but I decided to scan and Paint Shop the background from SS86 Scourge. I enlarged it and had it printed on cardstock. Didn't come out perfect, but it's decent. Had a helluva time airbrushing over all the creases where it was folded. The Sweeps like it, and are doing the Decepticon salute. I included the image file if anyone wants it.

    Welcomed "Origin Bumblebee" today. He's pretty kool. Probably the best of the Buzzworthy line. They did a really good job of re-creating Bee's Cybertronian mode, and a good robot mode as well. Parked him next to Bayverse Camaro Bumblebee. :)

    Mail call brought me the long awaited KO Generations Combiner Wars/Haizhixing Devastator, and MFT Diamond/Gears! I think they're both awesome additions! Devastator is a Big Boy! He is also my only combiner at present. I used to have most all of the G1 combiners, but sold them all many years ago. I was tempted to get a KO G1 Devastator, but decided to go for something bigger, more cartoon accurate and more posable instead. I'm glad I did!

    I can't believe how my collection has grown in the past year. Top pic was taken in October 2020. Bottom pic was taken in November 2021.

    Welcomed G1 Ramhorn into the fold. Still needs his guns/missile launchers, but he's in good shape!

    G1 Ramhorn got his gold guns! Had to get each one from a different source just to make the set. Yeah, I'm that committed! :)
