Super Change Robo Mechabot 1 (Omega Supreme)

I've always been on the fence when it came to grabbing an Omega Supreme.  The only time that I have actually ever physically played with one happened when he was originally released and even then, I don't recall whether I was as overly impressed with him compared to a lot of the other G1 figures I played with. You would have thought that anyone would have been

We three Kings

considering his size, motorized mechanics and three different modes of playability.  I just don't know what else to tell you, but to each their own I guess.

Lately though, my interest has been revitalized……..

G1 Reflector Mail Away

So look what came in the mail.......okay, so maybe it wasn't that recently.  Hell, it didn't even happen in the last two decades, but come in the mail it did nonetheless.

Micro Change Series MC-12 Walther P38 Gun Robo

It seems like I haven't been the only one around here judging by some of the other blogs I've been reading where people have been re-evaluating their collections. Throw me into that pot as well.  I've been selling a number of figures, nothing vintage, thus my reason for selling as these particular pieces as I would never have displayed them , nor did they fit into the direction I want to go now.

Micro Change Series MC-12 Walther P38 Gun Robo 

Anyway, I'm back after a few weeks from posting, though it certainly felt like longer.  In my

It's 6am and here I am, taking these pictures because our baby just finished her morning bottle and has decided that it's time to not go back to sleep.  So it's her off to her baby swing and me taking the only time I'll probably have today to squeeze these pictures in.

In my previous post (click HERE), I had shown everything wrapped up still, so these are the items that just arrived from TFSource.com

Click (HERE) if you would like to see what this set is selling it for at TF Source.

First off, you probably could have guess from the big box in my previous post that this was probably one of the figures that had arrived.

New Movie Transformer Figures at TRU

So on a whim, I decided to stop into one of my local TRU's on my way into work tonight and was pleasantly surprised at all the new figures I saw.  I'm not saying that I'm really interested in buying any of them at the moment, but the fact that there is some new blood to be seen is refreshing .

Anyway, not much to really be said about all these guys yet, so just check out the pics and hopefully you'll come across these guys soon, if not yet already.

New Package Arrival

It's been so long since my last post, I wish that I could say that it was out of laziness.  See, at least if it was out of being lazy then that could at least mean that I had still been receiving new packages all this time.  Sadly, that has not been the case. No new packages.  Just been busy with my family and the house….not that this is something to complain about.  I just wish I had more time to do everything.

Well, for now my dry spell has temporarily stopped.  This came this morning.

TRU Pics

So with the wife out for some doctor appointments I was left at home to watch my daughter by myself…..pretty boring since the conversation at this point seems to be all one way…she is only 8 weeks old after all.  Perfect opportunity to get out and see what's doing at one of my local TRU's.

This was the biggest display of non-Botshot / KREO Transformers that I have seen

Disco Devy (MOSC)

So a couple of posts ago, (CLICK HERE) I had mentioned how I had gone to the 80's Toy Show in Toronto.  There were a few possible items that I could have walked away with from the show and I'm

probably going to get razzed about not grabbing them. One was a G1 Whirl; looked to be in near mint condition, complete but loose, for $90.  The other one was the 1st Takara

My Local TRU (Whitby) - 05/08/14

Ive been going back and forth since I first saw the posting about the soon to be released version of Generations Leader Class Jetfire, but after humming and hawing about whether or not it fits into the direction that I'm taking my collection in, I think that from what I have

They have consolidated what was once a split up TF display back into one section.
That's my little guy checking things out in front….he's not for sale.

seen overall in the pictures makes it worthwhile for me to get.  So off to check out my TRU to see what's doin'.

80's Toy Show - 05/04/14

I was at the 80's Toy Show this past Sunday and I actually took my point and shoot camera this time because I always find it interesting when other sites post pics of conventions that they go to and I thought I would return the favour for those not from the Toronto area.

There is no specific order to the display of these pictures, but since this is not strictly

Latest Acquisitions

I'm at a time in my collecting when I'm in a reorganizing shift by getting rid of a number of my newer figures, but for some reason I couldn't help but pick these guys up at my local Walmart.

Optimus Prime & Autobot Roller

 The only reason I picked Prime up was because "Autobot Roller" was included and

Transformers - Robots In Disguise #27

I finally managed to get down to reading the latest issue of Transformers - Robots In Disguise #27. For those following the series,  this is a continuation of where Transformers - More Than Meets the Eye #27 Chapter 10 left off.

Again, this is just a little tease for those of you yet to read this issue…or for some reason

Gee….I wonder if an Autobot dies

 have yet to even read this comic run......seriously though, get your asses in gear.

Are eBay Shipping Costs A Transformer Killer?

No, I don't mean literally.  I just needed a catchy title.

The problem that I am actually referring to seems to be the ever growing costs of shipping Transformers bought off of eBay.

How much in shipping is this worth to you?

I came up with writing about this quite accidentally, though the the general idea crosses my mind anytime I surf eBay for TF's. 

Lately, I've been trying to catalogue all of my figures on a spreadsheet, and I am

Big Bad Toy Store & Warbotron - A Seller's Story

I was surfing one of our Canadian TF fan boards the other day and came across this rather interesting post that seems to have affected a number of retailers.  I thought that I would share it with those of you that follow my blog and maybe see what your thoughts were.

Here it is quoted word for word (again by another individual).  The actual link posting can be seen HERE if you wanted to get into all the different replies to it.

"Folks at Cybertron.ca

Please let me enlighten everyone as to what has happened with the first Warbotron figure. No one in North America has it – except for Big Bad Toy Store. For whatever

e-Hobby Megaplex (Exclusive) MISB

Here is the latest addition to my collection .  I picked this beautiful piece up from eBay, even though when I saw it I wasn't really looking to purchase anything at the moment due to all the money Maz (joking) has me tied up with in my Masterpiece figures either purchased or pre-ordered from TF Source.
