As much as I enjoy getting Galvatrons from you, I'll pass. I'd want the whole set or nothing at all. Maybe I'll run across it and have the money one day.

Preemptive haul: Portal 2 comes out today. I preordered it and I already paid it off. I am so excited.

Yeah right. There's no such thing as a Wreck-Gar toy. That's an elaborate joke. Who are you tryin' to fool?

At least six goddamn Bumblebees every place I go, the occasional Perceptor and crappy Prime, but no Wreck-Gars.

Yeah, that's been the situation. I've only seen Wreck-Gar's wave-mates at Targets, and every one is just a bunch of 'Bees.



Actually, at this point I'm considering just ordering the fucker off Amazon. None of the regular online shops have 'em, and Amazon's best deal is twenty-three bucks, but the shipping would be free, so y'know. Beats e-bay. Of course, if I do that, I'll be inudated with Junkions around here. Eh.

So if anyone finds an extra Wreck-Gar and wants to hook a fella up...

Sorry Scourge, I only ever saw my Wreck-Gar in stores. I'll keep an eye out though, I spot Prime and Perceptor occasionally. Scourge and Kup were pretty much no-shows save for the ones I found though. Distribution on this last leg has been baaaaaad. Which sucks because it's all stuff people really want. It's worth noting that I've got a set of Thundercracker/Wheeljack/Warpath preordered on BBTS, since I've given up any hope of seeing those in stores. I should probably just cave and order Grapple and Lugnut too.

Anyway, actual Haul: ROTF Divebomb arrived today! I decided about a week ago that I wanted him, since he was the last of Mindwipe's troops that I was missing, and there was a reasonably priced one on eBay, so why not? C'mon, Red Baron bot! Arrived quickly, that was nice.

When I went to pick up Portal 2, I found Dead Rising also. For $12! I don't have Dead Rising so I figured, what the hell.

Is Dead Rising any good?

Also: Windcharger. Yeah yeah, I got it on ebay. It's generally a good figure but I'm not initially in love with the back end/legs. It's complex and I see what they were going for but in vehicle mode things don't line up quite where they should. Maybe I need to fiddle more to get the hang of it but that's my initial impression. Other than that, I'm loving it. The robot mode is spot on to what Windcharger should look like and I think this is a really well done update all around. Now, I paid ~$50 for mine (including shipping) but I'm not sure most people are gonna wanna pay this.

I dunno! I haven't played it yet! Been playing Portal 2, and tonight I'm going to (one of) my older houses to get some shelves.

...Yeah I'm kind of spread over like four houses right now.
