I always went through BBTS as well, for 4 years I believe. I am now saving about $3 per order at Small joes, which is not a lot, but I got pennies to save!

I have used Smalljoes in the past, but not anymore.
BBTS's pile of loot feature is invaluable. Even if that wasn't the case, I have seen SJ engage in practices I didn't like, but I'll start trouble if I mention it. PS: they published a customer's REAL NAME and info on a board when he complained about their policies. clear violation of their own terms. they don't get my dollars.

Of course we'll eventually see the Techno-Viper, but he was originally in wave 1. Now he's not coming out until wave 3 at the earliest. SoBs!

I have to say these Jungle BATs are just perfect. It's what the BAT should have looked like from day 1. With a big ass gun too. I hope I come across some in the wild, though I doubt that will happen now with the new waves already out. Never saw any of the Hawk/BAT wave in stores. Glad I got one from my last BBTS order (not so happy about the price but that's another story, at least I got one).
now... do I entertain the notion of repainting the hordes of old school bumblee black & yellow BATs I've got lurking about?

That sounds like a serious undertaking. I don't have hordes of BATs, just one of each variant... which means I have quite a few. Just not hordes.
So I wimped out and only packed up one BT/Alt... KissPlay Rodimus. Now I have slightly more room at the back of the Joe shelf. My Cobra shelves are pretty much hopeless. what was a nice ordered display is now just "put it where there's room." I haven't even opened up my Zarana yet because there's no room with the rest of the 'Noks. |

Speaking of Transformers. I did finally see a TRU Rodimus and I guess I never realized it didn't have a trailer. I'm happy to have paid a bit more and got the full set. I don't have any real issues with the JDM V1.0 so that's not bothering me either. I wouldn't mind that targetmaster gun though, that's pretty slick.
And speaking of alternators. The Kissplay Convoy, anyone else have him? I have always been at odds with the insanely huge shoulders. If he ever went into battle he'd have a 40 degree field of view directrly in front of him. It's like the designer had a thing for the SDF-1 and wanted to incorporate that somehow. and speaking of packing things away. I feel your pain. I have 80% of all my stuff packed away. Pretty pointless but there's no selling any of it.

TRU Rodimus is much more Hot Rod than RP. Triangle leg stickers, Targetmaster, no trailer... they can call it Rodimus Prime all they want, it's still Hot Rod. I did see a couple more the other day, and both appeared to have the same problems mine did. So I guess I'm either going to leave it be or attempt surgery.

I've been trying to unload a lot of my collection with varying degrees of success. I didn't really want to, but I was seriously running out of storage space and needed money. So I've pretty much accepted that certain stuff isn't really part of the collection any more, even though it's still taking up space. Does that even make sense? I need more sleep. |

Car shopping is the most excruciatingly annoying thing I think I've ever engaged in.

One of the other reasons I went with the xB. The price is the price, no haggling required.
