I'm going to have to be strong to resist the urge and not wait until those are in stores... but I will! And then weep when they are not!
But staying ahead of the curve as always, thanks to still recovering from my cold yesterday I drove into work and used the excuse of having the car to also drive to Smyths, where I finally got a PottoP Blot. And he's so cute, he was worth the wait.

At a local and small con yesterday I picked up Prime Arms Micron Unicron, who I'd always wanted but never wanted to pay full price for. And... I am so glad I didn't. Nice looking toy, but the alt-mode is WTF-ery given form...

I can't belive how fast Siege has appeared. These were supposed to be my Christmas present!!!

I have to open them.
I have to.
Hey, oh wow, am I the first Hubber to have these?! That's a first! Me being the first with something. That isn't a Prowl.
Right. I have to open them. And I'm opening them RIGHT NOW! LIVE ON AIR!!!

Picked up Hun-gurr during the week with the last of the old birthday money.
I have a complete Abominus for the first time ever.
Also grabbed Elita the week before.
Oh and 2 tiny turbo chargers. Barricade and Sentinel. Both really nice.

Huge thanks to Browny I now have Chaos on Velocitron! The daughter is very happy with them, we had a good playing session with the set (Nautica is in charge, Laser Prime is an incompetent Optimus Prime fanboy, apparently).
Great to have a Nautica; as others have pointed out it's not quite the right purple but it feels churlish to complain. Laser Prime is better than I expected (though I haven't tried jet mode). I haven't gone through all of Quickswitch's modes yet, but generally he's pretty good. The real surprise is Fastlane - I had low expectations, but he's quite fun to fiddle with actually.

Indeed, a few days back due to Browny shenanigans I too have the Velocitron set.
Despite Nautica being the draw, Laser Prime is the big winner for me. It's the big toy I don't own any version of yet, and it is super good. It does make me more determined to find the Decepticon triple-changers now though!
It is a little scary to think that I'm only three toys away from owning all the Titans Return Deluxe toys though...

I'm still reeling from the fact this set is sat on my desk. ID Toys sold it for £180. £30 seems impossible. Such a shame there wasn't a green Megatron to go with the Prime.

Oh, same! Never imagined I would own this, at best I thought I might manage an individual figure from a set someone was breaking up (I considered making an offer for one just a couple of months ago that would have been more than the cost of this!).

Had a bit more of a fiddle with Laser Prime - I'm quite impressed! It takes a bit of effort to get the plane nose to tab together, but otherwise I find that mode endearingly ramshackle. I think the G2 look goes a long way to helping it get away with it, but still, better in-hand than expected.
