    ^ Thanks! It was a concept I had in mind since the first reissue came out. I hate how the retro figures have been handled to where its so hard to find them and past waves never showed locally.

    I still need the latest wave of SS86. The Sharkticon looks good, but I have so many of the Titans Return and even Unique Toys. I'm glad they still make better versions of characters, its just hard when you already army build the past version.

    Thank you, that helps make it a pass for me. I get ya, I only saw scourge like 2 times, and the first time I picked him up. I'm having to get picky on my stuff until I get my collection under control.

    I had already got 3 Scourge from BBTS before the Sweep was announced or confirmed. That works well enough for me. I am tempted to get 2 sweeps to increase the army but at some point I have to say no. I still have TR Scourge in package that I just might donate to Toys For Tots since the market has moved on to a better figure.

    Just found the Reformated Megatron and the Optimus Primal RED figures. Megs looks a lot better than I though.

    Laserbeak's just a cassette (likely due to this being a retail product for kids, and cost concerns plus concerns about small pieces would likely cause problems).

    Been thinking lately that I want to track down the crossover comic series of Transformers / Ghostbusters, / Terminator, / Back To The Future. I know I should just stop into Lobo to see what they have, just never get a chance to head that way. How hard would it be to find these or is there a good place to buy the digital version from? I know, I'm a bit of a comic noob.

    I'd totally just say Lobo too. Digitally, maybe Comixology? I don't do comics digitally often though...

    ^Sounds good. I have heard Comicology mentioned somewhere before. So at least the name rings a bell. I need to go to Lobo if even just to support a local business. But my luck would be that they only have 2 or 3 out of the 4 part series. But, never know unless I look.

    Comixology is part of Amazon and next year will be phased out when Amazon launches their full scale comics app and site, not sure what it'll be called yet

    So... was in the Rio Rancho Walmart the other night. I saw a lot of Kingdom BW Megatron. I mean like I stopped counting at like 38 of them. The take away is that if you want a Kingdom BW Megatron you probably won't have any problems getting one there. They will probably wind up on clearance at some point too. I seriously doubt they restock leader class generations any time soon there.

    What is that Soundwave like ORIO? Looking at the pictures, it looks so lackluster.

    Also curious about Knightverse Soundwave.


    Is @minsok still around? Haven't seen him post for a while, was curious, and might have a custom idea his skills would be more suited to than mine.

    I picked up the Soundwave for a friend, so I didn’t open it up. He said it’s cool though.

    Yesterday, (Sunday) at the Cottonwood Walmart, I found 4 Kingdom Tigatrons hiding up in the front part of the store in the Christmas section hiding behind a Rhinox. I took one, and put the others back with Rhinox protecting them. There may be some left for anyone looking.
