I've been out and about the past week and there's nothing out there. A pile of first wave mini bots and a lot of Silverbolts and Motormasters and that's it. Here's hoping they all get re-released for xmas along with Bruticus.

Got him last week. Expensive but awesome. Almost busted Long Haul yanking him off Hook. Had to widen the chest slot in Hook after that.

I bought the Gentle Giants Mico 2 pack off ebay. It was $35 (USD) so the price didn't seem bad. After import, shipping and currency conversion it cost me over $70.00.

It was not worth it.

I was unimpressed by the micro figures. The don't have an articulation. I didn't find out about that until after I purchased them. I was thinking it would be funny to have micro Joes invade my wife's Assassin Creed sets she has over her PC but nope. Boring statues.

I looked more closely into those since they didn't seem to have weapons and discovered they weren't articulated either and passed. I'll likely pass on the big ones as well. Kinda pissed they sell a Grunt at SDCC and haven't shipped the other ones on preorder for months. No thanks.

I preordered Devastator from TrU Canada. Still not shipping yet. He's listed as $189.99 CAD with free shipping which I thought was OK since he seems to be $139.99USD at BBTS. I'd buy a second one close to Xmas at $140 if it ends up that cheap.

My local TrU (Surrey BC) got all the Defensor limbs in last week but still no more Blackjacks.

I had to buy a second Streetwise. Mine had one really white leg for some reason and no trading card.

Anyone else got a Dragstrip with a purple fist/foot that doesn't match the other ones?

So, picked up the replacement Arialbot and Stunticon from TrU in the US. Pretty nice even if they're identical molds to existing figs.

Also managed to pick up Defensor, my favorite so far. Not a fan of the Rook figure. Seems kinda blocky and doesn't have fist holes for his gun but I like the vehicle mode. Defensor is sturdier than the previous combiners, he stays together better overall. Very happy with him, I love how the ladder and head work as Defensor.

Lucky for me I got Backjack previously, haven't seen another one since.

Devastator is next!

You always get figs with such nice paint. I get so jealous.

I have everything but the Night Force con set but I can't get excited about this set since they're no news on more upcoming stuff. What's with having pimp daddy Destro in there? Why not IG Destro? I might pick this set up if the price doesn't get jacked up too much. Is it gonna be on the Hasbro site for sale?

I was interested in these at first but they're feeling more and more like vaporware to me. I mean, wasn't RnR announced over a year ago? It's not like it's anything super complicated to make yet they're taking forever. I'm gonna pass since it's looking more and more like they'll produce 1-2 and give up.

Sounds like the same advice to crack open a Zartan, Zandar or Zarana. Must be glued.

Wave 2 is out here one the West Coast and I'm quite happy with Menasor. He's a bit short in the torso, Blackjack sticks his chest out kinda far, and Motormaster's tractor mode is too modern for my taste but I'm pleased with the new additions. The stunticons are really rather different transformation-wise which I like and all the robot modes are really great. I really like Huffer as well, better than Windcharger in any case and came with a gun this time. All they need to do now I announce a 2-pack with the replacement figs for Alpha Bravo and the truck guy and I'm set until Devastator and Defensor.
