All fine and dandy mate - dust free!

 

Got the cyberverse deluxes in from Mercari yesterday. Got them for pretty cheap at $33.53 shipped complete sans instructions. Got the 1 step changers and Skullcruncher on clearance at my local Target (they also had MPM Blackout, red cog and BW Terrorsaur on clearance too). Debating if I should get on blackout for so low, but I’ll probably pass since that’s not really what’s for my collection. Might be my last transformers purchase of 2022, but not my last delivery!

 

Disclaimer, the two are not Christmas presents!

I bought them before Christmas and I figure I post my last TF purchase of this year unless Legacy Jhiaxus is delived tomorrow!

Spoiler: Sixshot

To those whose don't know me, I used to have the G1 version when I was little and he was my favourite toys and was the long lasting G1 toy I had until my dad foolishly thrown him out years ago! I regret not buying him back in the Prime War Trilogy day especially when one store had him for £26! I vowed to buy the TR version now I am back into buying these toys again as an adult! Buying him in the after market was not an easy task!
To summary, currently he is over £50. Someone did listed a brand new box version months ago starting the bid at £30! I waited on the last minutes and everyone had the same plan. Less than a minute the bid ended, he went from £30 to £40 which was too much for me!
Luckilly weeks later, someone listed a pre owned version for £30 (well £34 with delivery fee) and I won it uncontested! Guess no ones wanted a pre-own version?
Ok as for the figure itself, maybe unpopular opinion but he is a "little bit" dissapointed?
Just to be clear, he is still a good toy for the most part as he has more articulation than the G1 version. Other than that he is not as sturdy as the G1 but to be fair, G1 toys were like bricks back in the day!
Sorry no I didn't took photos of the different modes but you gonna have to go by what I typed here-

Plane mode- My favourite mode and it still hold up good in this version. Nicpick is that I dislike the guns being placed on the side than on top of the wings.
Robot mode- Pretty good but dued to the weak knee joint, he can only stand and that;s it.
Beast mode- The weakest one as while he was so similiar to the G1 in terms of transformation, I HAD to look up the beast transformation as I was confused which side of the legs is suppose to go for this mode?
Gun- I refuse to called this the submarine mode! Suprisingly it's not as bad as I thought it would be! Sure the guns no longer tab on the side but underneath is kinda ok? Just that I remember the G1 beast lower jaw become the trigger but you can still pulled it off using the landing gear!
Tank- Not a good mode cos there is nothing to tab the lower legs together and thus making that blaster turret thing hard to keep it together!
Car mode- Also an ok mode.

The main flaws I had is definitely the knee joints! Of coruse it was going to be loose cos it bends in both direction. Hindsight it should of used ratchet joints! Also dislike how small the wings and guns are compared to the G1. Also since this is pre-owned, the headmaster face paint has chipped off but it's not too bad. Most of it is the headband area meaning when attack to the main head shell, it covered it up and I intend to keep him in there anyway.
Overall, he's not the "perfect" Sixshot so I do want to buy another updated version again. That being said, I can proudly say I owned Six shot again! Also he ticked off my list of Transforms toys to buy!

Spoiler: Mutant Tigertron

Mutant Tigertron
Funny how TK Maxx had him for £25 which I was disinterest at first. However when his price was slash to £16 I watched reviews and became inerterest. By the time I wanted to buy him, he was sold out.
Did saw one for £20 which I put it on my watch list and then the seller gave me a 10% discount which basically put him the same price as TK Maxx when you factor in the delivery fee (free delivery for the Ebay one) so I bought that one instead!
Funny how Hasbro Pulse ALSO put him for £16 during the Advert Calander event so there mush of been tons of him laying about!
Ok as the figure himself, really loved the teal and orange combo! I know Kingdom Tigertron is accurate to the cartoon show and I did liked him as a character but I was put off the Kingdom toy especially when a local store had him for £16 aswell. Just the white is not that interesting to me despite it IS a white tiger and I read he yellowed too so there's that.
My only issue I have with this toy is that the way his arms position is further back from the main torso! Frontal view you don't notice it as I did from the reviews but you can see it from side view! The arms are suppose to be aligh the same as the legs, not away from it!
Regardless of that, it is still a cool looking figure and honestly I never saw myself buying an deluxe Maxinimal til now!

 

Well this was an unexpected surprise! I was expecting Fasttrack to arrived next week, not an hour ago!

Basically I was lying to myself months ago to says I wasn't interested with the Weaponizer and I kinda starting to collect most of them with Brunt (Ebay) and Slammer (and SS Hot Rod) from using my bro Amazon voucher which are arriving next week! Six Gun is hard to get a hold off at the moment without spending over £30 which I am not willing to paid for! Not interested in Cog at the moment.










Overall he is an ok figure out of the quick transformations and attachment! Find it odd he has an modulator connection tab. I assume it relates to Scorponok as in the instruction, he connect to Ironworks which to me, doesn't really work for me.

 

I got Terrorsaur from Target for 50% off. Pretty good deal if you ask me, probably because he was shelfwarming hilariously. Counting mine, there were 15 Terrorsaurs.











Edit: Here's a shelf pic. All of the Buzzworthy deluxes visible are Terrorsaurs.

 

I definitely recommend Cog, if your ever interested in him. I love my weaponizers and Cog has captured my attention to a T. I love the little guy! His colors are also very nice.

 

Well at the moment, I would have to settle for the Red Cog version cos the UK website Indemand Toys got him for sales at £16 whereby Cog is like over £29 on Ebay. Not too keen on the Red version as I know he suppose to come with alot of weapon accessory, those will become annoying when it come to storage.

 

Yeah, i spent months before i could get a good deal for my Cog so I understand where you're coming from.

 

Scooped up Newage G2 Grimlock after a sale on ShowZ

 

It appears that dreams do come true. iamdarthyoshi was kind enough to part with all of this for a price I could afford.

 

I just got this from my local Target on clearance at 50% off. $83 before tax.

 

I got this today but I have no idea which character it is. Anyone know who this is?

 

Beast Machines Jetstorm I believe

 

Right on the money, Embee.
Just to add on to what you said:

Jetstorm (BM) - Transformers Wiki

Jetstorm (2000) - Vehicon Aerodrone General - www.tfu.info

Hope that helps, Whomps; enjoy!

 

Final figure of the year

 

Picked up Legacy Inferno today.

 

Going ol’ school courtesy of eBay today.



The Universe line really had some cool packaging.

 

Just got a new job and with my first paycheck I knew I wanted it to be something special. I wasn’t around to back it, but I’m happy to be an owner. While not my last purchase of the year, it is the last item I am receiving. What a way to end 2022. Hopefully I don’t have to make a post in the Victory Saber QC thread. Happy New Years everyone!

 

Congrats on the purchase!

Probably not my last delivery of the year (should have 1 or 2 packages showing up tomorrow), but I got Cyberverse Clobber in today and she makes for a fantastic Core scale Lugnut
