    MP-10. I have the money, but I'm not entirely comfortable paying that much for a single figure, as good as it is. I keep saying "ok, next month I'm getting it for sure!"

    Deluxe Leadfoot and HA Soundwave now. Really want Leadfoot but I don't think I can justify the eBay pricing.

    I was holding off on it because I was hoping for a Hasbro release. I might have to jump on it...

    MP Grimlock is another case of me really wanting him but not wanting to save the money for him.

    G1 Bruticus. The only US G1 Combiner I'm missing. Guess since I have the million RID repaints of Ruination, I'm content for now.




    Also Hercules.

    hahaha... i jumped on those immediately, had my preorder and everything, got them in my POL immediately, shipped immediately (with the 2 FP Bruticus limbs) in August 2010, and they're still sealed in my closet... i just haven't had a combiner display setup, so i haven't opened them...

    i just got all 3 from BBTS... hopefully I'll open them soon...

    I tend to not wait too much on toys, but what i do is buy them, and then just put them in my closet and not open them for months, if not years... I've still got like a dozen toys in my closet to open, if not more... and one that i did keep passing up was DOTM Voyager Megatron... he looked cool, i wanted him, had the money, saw him for $10 on black friday, and still passed on him... finally got him a few weeks ago via a trade, and still he's sitting on my kitchen table, unopened...

    I keep telling myself I need to troopbuild Voyager Payload. It's pretty cheap online right now, but I just can't seem to get myself to buy three.

    Heh. For some reason, I don't foresee him getting away that easily, being the (good) black sheep after all. :) 


    Well, you could always get one of each colour (there's a yellow & green version). That way you'd have a pair, but without really needing to get multiples of the same figure.

    Perfect Effect Frenzy and Rumble.

    Love the look of them. They look much better than the official release, but they are very expensive for their size. And postage is ridiculous to the UK. Just shelled on Reflector from a UK seller. Maybe.

    G1 Blaster and Soundwave they can even be re-issues as long as I get them, but I don't have the money, hopefully once taxes come in I'll get them. :)

    I've been really tempted to order the BBTS Seacons.

    Me too, and I don't even like the combined mode that much. However, along with being my 1st legit TF combiner, I think I'd enjoy the individual bots on their own, especially in their beast modes because of how different they all are compare to a lot of the other stuff that's come out during their time.

    Plus, it's an iconic enough set to be able to turn around & come close to breaking even on in a year or so if I decide that I'm not a fan, at least in theory. I wouldn't run the risk of ordering this for the sake of reselling right away (especially since having it shipped to Canada won't be cheap, almost to the point of it being worth trying to bargain down my local shop owner to sell it to me for less), but stuff like this tends to retain its value better than most, even when opened.
