I have finished watching Cyberverse series 3. That combined with these three mean I'm ready for the upcoming series 4/TV movies! Shame that Snarl is yellow rather than gold and they didn't make use of an extra piece to give him his traditional shoulders. I like the Marvel comic style blue head on Sludge, he also has a very traditional transformation. They're meant for kids, I get that, I'm generally just happy to have another set of Dinobots. I do require a Swoop though.
I have reached the pinnacle of my collecting, leader class Dinobots!!! Slag is superb. I’ve bought two obviously, but it’s just blown my mind. To say I can’t wait until Sludge is an understatement.
There was a point around which Combiner Wars was announced, we’d had Skids, Trailbreaker and Hoist from Hasbro. Fansproject had put out a nice set of Insecticons, and were going well with their Dinobots and Headmasters. They jointly with Maketoys had covered most of the combiners, and Mastermind Creations had done (doing?) an amazing job with the Predacons, and Sixshot, and had Overlord planned. I honestly thought I was almost done, and I realise now that I feel very similarly.
I reckon I’ve got seventeen Transformers left on my must have list. Eleven are available for pre-order or have been found on store listings (Sludge/Kickback/Skids/Perceptor/Blaster/Blitzwing/Victory Saber/Tigatron/Terrorsaur/Inferno/Tarantulas). That leaves a couple of Dinobots and Insecticons, which seem reasonably certain, and Deszaras and Thunderclash. Hasbro have been hinting at both of these through vague comments about more Japanese characters (who else is there?!) and comic appearances combined with the upcoming Motormaster who could well be a remold option. Whoo.
I accidentally bought the rest of Alpha Flight. They’re not ‘main’ characters by any stretch but I want to visit Canada and these will be my permanent reminder that it’s a place I want to visit. I also bought poutine to get ready. Yom.
I bought Marvel Legends What If Captain Carter. I'm not quite sure why, but I hope to able to pick up a Hydra Stomper at a reasonable price to go with.
Drum roll please..... I'm done with Power Rangers! (For the third time I think.) I've got the green ranger. I know what to expect with these guys now so there's not much to say. Collection goal complete!
