My haul today!

Finally finished picking up the 4 Nickelodeon turtles. I absolutely love these figures and am glad they finally all have different body builds. Now I just need the classics figures. Also, if anyone has any, I need new swords for my NECA Leo and a new sai for my NECA Raph. I'd be willing to buy entire figures (I'm sorry. I know this isn't the forum for that last sentence, but I wanted to get it out there :oops:

)

Finally has some luck.

Picked up Shockwave at Target, and the new Yavin pilot and Ewok packs at TRU.

I'm kinda surprised how good some of those Ewoks turned out in there, especially the female one with the pink headgear. I just might spare her from the Endor Ewoks massacred by the Imperials scene I have in the toy room (which is what would have happened in reality if those stupid teddy bears actually attacked the mighty Empire. Stupid Lucas and his stupid kids. :twisted:

).

Picked up "Fall of Cybertron" Jazz today. He's a pretty cool figure, and I am especially pleased with his vehicle mode. It is a very cool design. I'll probably go back for Shockwave tomorrow.

Disappointingly, Shockwave was not in stock at my local Wal-Mart. I may stop over to K-Mart tonight, see if they have him. I did end up getting Optimus Prime from the Fall of Cybertron line! The good things about him are that he is very easy to transform and I love his vehicle mode. The bad thing is... well... There is just a smallness about him that bugs me. He just doesn't feel like Prime. Still a worthy addition though!

That's very akin to his War Within form... does the game play off any aspects of that Dream Wave story line?

I've actually got pretty limited knowledge of the TransFormers comics. Though from what I understand, the games are largely G1 cartoon based with a lot of original elements added in. I also wonder if they are trying to tie the movies in a little too because when I played the demo of "Fall of Cybertron" Bumblebee's voice had been damaged and he couldn't speak.

Finally.... finished!

The head and chest of that ... thing... are nicely done. I just can't stand the rest of the abomination.

And that sure as hell isn't anything resembling any Parallax I've ever read.

I give Mattel kudos for trying, but many that thing is just all sorts of suck.

If it makes you happy Van, congrats on getting it done, but I just don't get the appeal.

Mostly $3.99 at Ross, that was the appeal! :lol:

And a Green Lantern beat down doesn't look so bad...

Now that does look fun!

:lol:

Along with Iron Man with Stark head, some parts Arnim Zola and a stop by the Christmas Tree Store so I can make a Tony Stark with Stark's head.

Yes! I found Shockwave! I really like this figure. His design is awesome and his robot mode has a very vintage feel to it.
