Some day, when I finally go, "what the hell..." I'll buy the Macross Jetfire stand-in. He does look great next to MP-10 from what I've seen.
So, long story fairly short. I do have one each of the "limited prototype" iGear Seekers. Rain, Current and the G2 Ramjet. My shortsightness and the circumstances that took place behind the scenes with iGear, Hasbro and the poor guy who was wanting to sell a Seeker Exclusive stateside for his Comic Shop, however, prevented me from getting a second set of each. Unfortunate, as I do like to display my TFs in both modes... So when this PP-05 Rain popped up and stayed up [and stayed up for a while] on eBay, I did what I did and have no regrets to find that I bought something another was interested in. The above posts clearly show that the other person was well aware of the listing for some time and was in discussion with the seller, I suspect, in an effort to talk the seller down to a lower price. His folly was my advantage. So, now I've only G2 Ramjet to worry about. And honestly, I think he'll be much harder to find as he is the more popular of the three and there is controversy circling him. But at least I have one. |

So... about the only thing new to my preorders is a set of the Not-Throttlebot Rollbar. Probably will get Searchlight too when he's listed. Those and the TFSource Insecticons.

Since Hicks never cleans out his PM box, I'll just go ahead and post this here:
Hey, just figured I'd drop you a line to say that if you ever change your mind about selling the Python Patrol Motor Viper... you'll have to find another buyer. I finally worked out a trade: PPMV $42 for SDCC Shocktank set loose Destro (from Shocktank) PoC Blowtorch I think the other guy got quite the value. But there was nothing there that I wanted to keep... in fact, I had gotten the 2nd Shocktank set specifically for trading. I figured I wouldn't see another opportunity any time soon, so I went with it. I probably could have done a bit more bargaining, but I didn't want to risk blowing up the deal by being too greedy. It was 2+ weeks in the making as it was. Hard to believe I'm actually caught up on con figures... your help being a big part of that. Now all I need is somewhere to display them... 3 months into the new apartment and I'm still trying to sort shit out. I'd probably have an easier time of everything if I wasn't set on having an enclosed display space. I really do not want to deal with the dusting though. |

Dude, I still owe you filecards, you really wouldn't want to buy mine anyway. God only knows how long it would take for me to get around to mailing them.
In other news, I caved and bought BT-17. It wasn't the worst price I've seen it listed for and at 35% off, it was even better. So now I am not-so-patiently waiting for it to travel from the UK to the KY. My mind will not rest about the tragedies that it could yet fall victim to before showing up on my exposed doorstep on a day like today where the damned rain just won't stop. |

Damn right I am. Probably find me a crappy little model to cut down too so I can put a proper topper on it. That or redneck it up with glass packs and mini monster truck tires. I wonder if I can find the "Can't Dodge It, Ram It!" window sticker in 1:24. And mudflaps...
So... what happened to the others? You kill them? |

Meh, there's really no "topic" of this thread anymore. Not like that's the only thing to talk about...
How's the new car? See what I did there? |

It does not, however, transform into anything but a car.
