How many Transformers have you acquired in 2019 so far?

[Jim]

1. TR Trypticon (€99)
2. Siege Sideswipe (€22.99)
3. Siege Aimless (€7.49)
4. TR Shuffler (approx €7.04)
5. TR Repugnus (approx €7.04)
6. Siege Hound (€22.99)
7. Siege Sixgun (€22.95)
8. Siege Ironhide (€22.95)
9. Siege Storm Cloud and Whisper (€14.99)
10. Studio Series G1-ish Optimus Prime (€42.99)
11. Select Swoop (€32.99)
12. Studio Series Dropkick (helicopter) (€19.95)
13. Siege Red Heat and Stakeout (approx €12.05)
14. Siege Powertrain and High Jump (€14.99)
15. Generations Select Redwing (€46.99)
16. Siege Brunt (€20.69)
17. Siege Springer (€28.28)
18. Siege Soundwave (€26.99)
19. Siege Bluestreak (approx €22.75)

After seeing in-hand comparisons I decided to plump for Bluestreak over Smokescreen (though I reserve the right to keep Smokescreen in the maybes). This was a case of cheaper-to-import-from-the-UK-even-including-postage - he was up at €39.99 at my usual importer (plus ~€4 postage) and €34.99 at tf-robots (plus ~€10 postage).

Wants list now stands at:

Siege Ratchet
Siege Impactor
Reissue Gears
_Maybe_ Siege Smokescreen
_Maybe_ TR Cloudraker / Wingspan (if I can find them at a decent price)
_Maybe_ Siege Omega Supreme (if I can scrape the money and space together by selling some stuff)
_Maybe_ Siege Jetfire (see above)
Siege Car Patrol

Definitely have to do some selling in the next weeks to justify that, but decided not to hold off seeing as he sold out on preorder at the EU mainland importers at almost €50 more than that.

Updated wants list:

Siege Ratchet
Siege Impactor
Reissue Gears
_Maybe_ Siege Jetfire (see above)
Siege Car Patrol
_Maybe_ Siege Apeface
Siege Ratbat (& Rumble)
Siege Battle Squad
_Maybe_ Siege Spinister

[Pinwig]

114 + the stuff waiting at Toph's for shipping (another 13) and Lancer if ID actually ever get any.
+6 3P.

[Dezzeh]

Still dreading to think, never counting!

[Shockprowl]

I'm not counting because everything I've bought this year has been funded by selling unwanted items.

Still stuck on 31 (not counting Omega until I open him). 14 official, 15 unofficial, and two non-transforming robot toys.



Wants list:

Siege SKYWARP, which is on order from Amazon, but...

Siege Ratchet, Siege Astrotrain, Siege Rumble/Ratbat, and I'll probably go for Earthrise Wheeljack.

Just then hoping for Siegey Frenzy/Buzzsaw, and a Siegey/Earthrisey Jazz.

Edit: One should really have a Sunstreaker if one has a Sideswipe. So, maybe hope for an Earthrisey Sunstreaker as well.



....then I'm sorted.

[The Doctor]

I'm not seeing a Siege Jetfire on your list.

-Ralph

[Shockprowl]

That's because he's not on my list.

[Pinwig]

Yet again Shockprowl lets himself down.

[Shockprowl]

I am firm of fetlock!




... what's a fetlock?




Anyway, Big Phil doesn't like him!

[The Doctor]

How will Phil get himself out of this trap?

-Ralph

[Shockprowl]

There is no trap!

Shockprowl 2019 Action figure Total: 32



32 is one of my favourite numbers...




JUST ONE BIG ONE THEN BEFORE THE YEAR'S OUT....

[Jim]

1. TR Trypticon (€99)
2. Siege Sideswipe (€22.99)
3. Siege Aimless (€7.49)
4. TR Shuffler (approx €7.04)
5. TR Repugnus (approx €7.04)
6. Siege Hound (€22.99)
7. Siege Sixgun (€22.95)
8. Siege Ironhide (€22.95)
9. Siege Storm Cloud and Whisper (€14.99)

19. Siege Bluestreak (approx €22.75)
20. Siege Omega Supreme (€173.54)
21. Siege Jetfire (€62.99)

Wouldn't have done that but for a sudden price drop on Black Friday! (he retails for about €110 here)

Might just about clear off some of my wants list (have one on order already) by the end of the year, but Siege Ratchet and the Gears Reissue look unlikely to ever come my way

Those latter reissues never even showed up at importers, did they?

Updated wants list:

Siege Ratchet
Siege Impactor
Reissue Gears
Siege Car Patrol
_Maybe_ Siege Apeface
Siege Ratbat (& Rumble)
Siege Battle Squad
_Maybe_ Siege Spinister

11. Siege Reflector 2
12. Siege Reflector 3
13. Siege Mirage
14. Siege Thundercracker
15. Siege Ratchet
16. Siege Rumble
17. Siege Ratbat


Rumble and Ratbat are utterly superb. Gosh I hope they do Frenzy and Buzzsaw in a timely fashion.

Just FIVE?!?! (albeit with hefty price-tags...)



I never thought I'd say this to a Starscream fan...


But I ASPIRE to your conservative purchooselling...







But not the hefty price-tags.

Surely now that Shockprowl has given up on Transformers his 2020 purchases will be 0?

I've said there are stragglers to my 'near enough to perfect' collection. I can give you a list if you'd like.

All G1y prowls will always be bought, forever. It's who I am.



And, ironically, the ONLY Siege figure I am not fully happy with is Prowl! 'Cos of the hollow legs thing.

[The Doctor]

But on this very forum you said you had passed on some Cyberverse Prowls!!!

-Ralph

[Pinwig]

I remember Shockprowl. He was a fun chap. I wonder what he's doing these days, now he's NO LONGER A COLLECTOR.

*weeps*

[The Doctor]

Gives him more time for reading Delta Force Daddy.
