Not yet. Since it's still new year, all the shops are still closed.

I'll take pics when everything comes in. So far my total this week is just a hair under $800, and it's not even wednesday.

Time to get the ball rolling ... here are my personal worst 3 transformers.

#3: Rodimus Prime

Price paid: 2 @ $14, 4 @ $8
eBay value: $25 to $30 shipped

Let me start off and say, wtf is Rodimus Prime? Some sort of futuristic winnebago? Honestly, take a look at the figure ... there are no points of articulation, it's red and orange, and he looks stoned.

Amazon.com did him a favor ...

(actual .com product image)



#2: e-Hobby Detritus

Price paid: $20.50
eBay value: $40 shipped

This is truly the worst repaint I've ever seen. When I say worst, I'm not limiting myself to e-Hobby ... I'm talking all of G1, RID, Armada, Energon, and Cybertron. He's tan and taupe ... just like Ben Stiller's tux in Something About Mary. The packaging is nice, you can see all the accessories, but the figure is ... tan and taupe. :a:

#1: Energon Dinobots

Price paid: $20 (misb set), $10 (loose set)
eBay value: $60 (misb set), $35 (loose set)

Holy hell, these are the worst Transformers I've ever seen. Somehow, this was supposed to pay hommage to the G1 figures ... Hasbro, not Takara, marketed this as Dinobots 2005, the way G1 should have been. Well, Grimlock looks like a Hulk-a-Maniac in his yellow and red. Swoop is mostly made out of hinges and ball joints, I could whip the figure around it'll flex like string cheese.

These figures were purely made by Hasbro USA. With the BinalTech team not aiding in new Alternator development, this might be a shot of the near future ... yikes.

dude ... Ricochet is pulling $50 on eBay. You'd be the 3rd person in the US with it.



Hot Shot and Scattorshot look great. I really really like the toys.
rare TF's are what i want :crazyr:

went back to target, and Ricochet is still there

been searching for the new Cybertron Defense guys, probably going to be awhile.

on another note, im REALLY excited to get Primus eventually :love:

Good purchases so far. I'd have to say that Blaster, Twincast, and Primus will be the best figures until summer.

I'm not sure if you've seen them yet, but Star Convoy is selling on eBay for $50, Galvatron for $60. Remember that $35 God Ginrai? Same thing is happening all over again ... everyone is flooded with these 2 figures, but give it a while, they'll be $90 again.

Actually, I just got C.D. Scattorshot. You need to find a Target with their $20 figures sold down. The next shipment will contain these 2.
