It's a bit bulkier which is how I remember the toy, at least from the box. I might even go a Lion Bot, cheaper and with more accessories, fires its weapons and still made by the company that made the Matchbox one.Draconiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06261641328136220239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-42813333677180781.post-17055645038366182622014-01-27T18:21:08.195-06:002014-01-27T18:21:08.195-06:00Thanks for the kind words!

I've been in and out with that one. I have (most) of my original one and I might just finish it instead.

They're the two I want to finish the year with plus any other good deal I can find. I also want to get a Voltron. I've always wanted one and I just started watching it with my son.<br />Enjoying the blog, keep up the good work.Draconiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06261641328136220239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-42813333677180781.post-39207469239627850402014-01-23T13:26:23.030-06:002014-01-23T13:26:23.030-06:00I only own Camshaft, as far as the Omnibots go, ri...I only own Camshaft, as far as the Omnibots go, right now. I keep getting hung up Overdrive. Everyone I see seems to have chrome issues on his legs and I just gave up looking for Downshift. That's a search that will have to step up. You're right about Roadbuster - there was a glut of them last year on the market, but they seem to have dried up.

It's a good way to find them at killer deals.<br /><br />my goals are basically wrap up US G1, I have a ton of pretenders to get, a few of the 86 characters TMs, one more powerdasher (jet) and actionmasters. I would like to wrap up Japanese exclusives too, but even if I only have under 20 figures to get for that collection, it's a crazy feat, and my wallet won't agree with me lol.

The bigger one I'm in seems to be about proving who the biggest fan is and showing off. I'm a fan of showing off, obviously, but I was hoping for more actual discussion. The others seem to be good, just quiet.Optimal Omegahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12112470936085807477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-42813333677180781.post-70493175138853533882014-01-09T11:42:06.330-06:002014-01-09T11:42:06.330-06:00I have a few collecting goals this year, but the m...I have a few collecting goals this year, but the main one is to clear out my Star Wars collection and refocus on MPs, along with a few select figures from other lines.

I really like how you want to enjoy your collection more. This is definitely one area in which I need to participate in myself. My trouble is I tend to prefer MISB items so for me to open it up is sort of a waste of money. I'll have to pick up some loose ones at a few shows to play with.<br /><br />I need to worked on my G1 collection in general but to get them the way I want is going to cost me so I may need to think of some compromises and forego getting everything MISB.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Joeacdecepticonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17244806619131442080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-42813333677180781.post-66176815138341177952014-01-08T18:49:34.562-06:002014-01-08T18:49:34.562-06:00My goal is to prune efficiently.
