Tons of new stuff have come down the pike lately...and almost all of them TRU exclusives. -Masterpiece Thundercracker has been out for a few weeks now. -Masterpiece Optimus Prime has just started trickling out. -The formerly-Asian-exclusive Generations have also hit; at least, the Legends-class, Scout-class, and Deluxe-class figures. No sighting pf any Voyagers yet. -And the second wave of Generations proper...featuring the Combaticons...are also starting to appear. Nitewing73 wrote: Cool thanks Sean. You order direct or from Big Bad? Just wondering. Thanks. Sorry, missed this question.  I ordered direct, and luckily I had no issues. But I've heard enough QC stories to make me order through BBTS whenever I can in the future.

The Masterpiece line is where it is at for me now. This year and early next year getting Thundercracker, Optimus, Red Alert, Sideswipe, Soundwave w/ Buzzsaw, Rumble/Ravage and Frenzy/Laserbeak is a lot of stuff. Plus finally, Encore Fortress Maximus  That was great news as now people don't have to pay almost a grand to get him in their collection.

Went to a local show up in Sacramento a couple of weeks ago with my son, bro and nephew.
I was able to pickup a few of the older Generation/Universe/Classics toys for pretty decent prices.
Found a loose Silverstreak for about 20 bucks, loose legends Beachcomber and Brawn for 5 dollars a piece, and picked up a loose Windcharger for 10 bucks.
Thanks Sean. I'm actually tempted to get the new Igear Hench and UFO toys. Saw a review and they look cool.

Man, I can't find the Combaticons anywhere. It's starting to bum me out.

I ordered the Rager (Huffer) repaint from Igear this week. He looked pretty good in the picture more TV show accurate paint scheme. Nice since I missed out on their first offering. If I like it I'll probably pick up the UFO and Hench figures (Cosmos and Brawn)

I've not seen any Combaticons at retail either and yet I've found 3 TFP Vehicons at retail recently.
Masterpiece Optimus Prime arrived from TRU.com yesterday but I haven't had the chance to open it up yet.

I got tired of waiting for them, so I ordered 'em from HTS. With the free shipping option, it was a no brainer.

Masterpiece Optimus Prime ... beautiful! Karma aligned w/ a 20% coupon in hand and during Thanskgiving week of all times...I was stunned to find one at my TRU. I looked down at him and he said, "pick me up and let's roll the f*** out."

FOC Starscream arrived from HTS today. Along with that, I've also acquired quite a few Transformers lately - TRU exclusive Hot Spot, Cliffjumper, Springer, Wheelie and Transformers Prime Voyager Ultra Magnus and deluxe Rumble.

That FOC Starscream is real nice. It's got a lot more personality than the Classics mold.
At the moment, I'm all caught up with Prime and the GDO exclusives. I'd have a chance to catch my breath if it weren't for all the 3rd-party stuff also coming out.

The more and more I see of the Generations FOC Blaster and Grimlock the more I want to pick them up. I never got the classics Grimlock so this is one I can't wait to add especially because he's bigger.
Still have to save some money to order the Igear not Brawn or Cosmos figures. I received my Rager (Huffer) figure a month back and I'm pretty happy with them.
