I did. Just now. Cyberverse Vehicon.
I just wanted some TF coolness of my own. He's a poor substitute for Spinister, the MST, and cool Diarama Displays, but it's something. -ZacWilliam, now if I could find Voyager Bulkhead (yeah right) or Deluxe Vehicon, THAT might make me feel completely better, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-hotrod.gif) This post has been edited by ZacWilliam1: Apr 27 2012, 02:03 PM -------------------- Ever wonder about the speed of Turbofoxes?

Yeah, rapido is easily one of the best of the 2010 set. Glad to have him.
But this weekend, I would love to find any of the newer prime stuff, especially deluxe wave 3. I'll even be in a town with a target, TRU, and 2 walmarts tomorrow, but I'm sure I won't find anything new. -------------------- |

Would love to find new toys, but all I want is a Vehicon and I don't anticipate finding him soon. (Decided to wait on the others in that wave.) Still, fingers crossed.

He embodies g2 for me. The problem is now I'm looking at getting myself a Brakedown to battle him. Which is...yikes. Hence the ko desire creeping into my otherwise non-ko thoughts. The color scheme is just too exciting, on any figure. -------------------- |

The color scheme is just too exciting, on any figure. Rapido is pretty great. I've never loved the Classics Prowl mold, but that head sculpt is just fantastic, and the colors are lovely. I'd really recommend finding one, even if you feel like I do about the mold. I also really dig last year's SG Galvatron--I don't care about the fiction, so I just like the idea that a Decepticon leader is disguised as a nice friendly rescue chopper. Very movie-Barricadey. Those two and the keychain Mini-Bots are the only BotCon exclusives on my shelves (I have others from 2011 that I finally got around to listing for sale), but I should have a 2012 bagged set once the non-attendings ship. So I'm gonna try to be patient until then, and not go digging on eBay for ones I've missed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-hotrod.gif) But I might have to make an exception for Spinister. Because I want Spinister. |

If you really want to feel like you're at Botcon, go find a Generations toy whose mold you already have two of, and pay $50 for it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-hotrod.gif)

(But probably not cause my wife would kill me.) -ZacWilliam, part of the reason I bought the Vehicon was to pretend he was G1 Blackjack.

I...don't particularly feel that need, but coincidentally have started picking up Stealth Force toys as they've started showing up at Big Lots/TJ Maxx at prices more to my liking. Does that count?

I got my TFCC membership Battlecharger, MOTUC Draego-Man, and TP He-Man this week. I'm ok...for now.

Wave 2 Prime Voyagers just dropped into my BBTS pile of loot, so I shipped those babies and the wave 3 deluxes this morning to fill the non-attending void!. And a BTTF2 Gray's Sports Almanac for good measure.

Everything in moderation.
No one will think less of you if you do not buy expensive BC toys... |

I would, but my area just has assorted DOTM toys. I found a ROTF Chromia and Dlx Wheelie at a Rite Aid though, don't think those count.
