    Picked up Impactor at the TRU in Lewisville this evening. Only member of the wrecker team they had (and only one I was really interested in).

    Original '84 Cast complete in the CHUG lineup

    Special thanks to Jazz210 for picking up the last figure (Trailcutter) I needed and shipping him to me for this picture to be possible.

    ---
    BY THE NUMBERS

    $410 - approximate cost spent between 2008 (when I picked up the first of these) & 2013

    82 - Average cost per year spent (also the year of my birth)

    22.78 - average cost I paid per bot

    18 - number of autobots in the 1984 line & here

    10 - number of bots that don't share a mold with another character in this crew.

    10 - number of bots I picked up off eBay

    8 - number of bots that share a mold in this group

    7 - years it took to release all of these bots to production (from 2006-2013)

    5 - number of years it took me to collect just these figures

    4 - Figures that in some way shape or form I obtained through TFW2005

    3 - number of 3rd party figures used to fill out this cast

    3 - number of these that I bought in a traditional retail outlet

    1 - Figures shown here picked up at Botcon in 2012 (Prime)

    0 - number of the molds here that have not been repainted and released as another figure or an exclusive.

    Congrats on your set, roguesaint. The question is, NOW what are you going to do? '84 Decepticons?

    I have a good start on those....Prime Shockwave is working to fill the Shockwave need but I still need a good generations Soundwave. And I haven't decided on which third party reflector to go with. Unless hasbro wants to try and tackle those. :/

    Just a friendly reminder about my fantasy football leagues. I'd love to have a bunch of the Texas sightings peeps onboard! (As far as the names go, I know I'm a dork. It's cool)

    I personally like Trailcutter better, but I have seen plenty of reviews that like Megatron more.

    TRU Willowbrook has cases of them. But you have to ask for them, and 1 per customer.
