I have never organised a collection. -Ralph Over time I have tried to organise by year, sub group, toy line, whether they were from the Japanese shows originally... It all becomes a bit of a hodgepodge eventually but it's fun to at least try!

Decided a Friday treat was needed on the way home. Ended up being Axlegrease, Beachcomber and Gamer Bumblebee. I can never resist a discount; I was only supposed to be getting one of those.

IDToys dispatch email on SS86 Ultra Magnus & Ratchet and .... something else that I suspect only Burns will appreciate because it could well be a dreadful piece of tat!

Yup. I am patiently waiting for that set to go on sale. They can go with Dead Prime on a shelf.

The thing that annoys me about the dead versions is that those are the ones with the stripes down the side of the van modes. Very annoying.

It's how they get double-dippers.
These are the Dib Dabs of Transformers.

First ever experience of BW Primal and Megatron this evening. Kind of blown away!
I mean, it's not like people haven't been telling me for years how good OP is, but it's still kind of incredible to experience how much they crammed into that toy in person.
I didn't have much of a preconception about Megatron. He's not as packed as Prime, but he looks great and that's a fascinating transformation. I had no idea!
Also both such chunky, hefty toys. Love them.

Both so so good. That Primal, or rather the original release, was the toy that got me back into TF Collecting

I was surprised to find out that I liked Optimus Primal when I got hold of it, but I was. Megatron I am unsatisfied with. I hate his lack of hands.
Got an Octopunch this week. Impressed with it, despite its obvious limitations.

Megatron HISS tank number two has arrived. Here's hoping this one transforms.

G1 Catilla and Rippersnapper I kept from a lot I bought, because I didn't currently have those toys and I wanted to play with them.

SS Mirage is a disaster of a toy. A bits-dropping-off, unstable, panel-alignment transformation nightmare. And it doesn't even roll.
Tempted me in with what looked like two attractive modes, including a nice-looking licensed Porsche, but the figure in the plastic is practically a different toy to the renders and reminds me why I swore off the movie SS figures. Looks kind of okay in robot mode, but is near-unposeable with bits getting in the way of other bits, and the vehicle mode does not reward the pain of transformation, the panels are just too obvious.
Worst Transformer I've handled in years, I think.

That’s very disappointing to hear - I was looking forward to getting that one, eventually.

Picked up the new Metalhawk and the Speedia Blurr because it was cheap. Metalhawk is a pretty crap tf in lots of ways but somehow really satisfies, whereas Blurr looks great but doesn't do it for me at all, I can see why it hasn't sold.
