"Look Into My Eye..."

...if you dare! Saw this at Target a while back, just haven't posted him until now. If you notice the red sticker, that was the actual price! Not bad eh? Would rather have Magneto or whoever, but this is pretty cool too.

I wonder...if his visor lights up or anything...now I'm all curious...and we all know there's only one way to find out...but do I go down that road?

"To The Rescue!"

Out of all the movie toys that have come out on the market (and man are there a lot!), when I found out Ratchet was going to be a Hummer ambulance I was excited. Then, when this repaint came out, I was psyched since Ratchet was now in his original G1 colours.

I saw a repaint of Barricade where he has been redone in a blue colourscheme. Hopefully someone will have him...somewhere...sometime...(fade to black)

"Cock The Hammer..."

...it's time for action! Anyone know what movie that song is from? The answer a little later. This guy I found at Big Lots a couple of years ago after winning some Super Bowl money from my nephew. I'm such a good role model yes?

Steamhammer
Why did I want this one so bad? Seemed like one of those who would come and go like the wind. Turns out...if you look hard enough you can still find him. I still like him though. The lost Constructicon if you will lol.

BTW if you went and saw Last Action Hero you would have heard that song by none other then Cypress Hill. Great soundtrack!

"I Thought I Was Done!"

...but, I guess I wasn't. Checked out WallyWorld this morning purely on a whim and it looks like the truck that brings all the Transformers has finally arrived! I never thought I'd say this, but Toys 'R' Us officially is worthless! All they have is crap no one wants and they run out of what people do want way too fast. Here is what I picked up:

Bumblebee
Bumblebee Front
Bumblebee Back
I think we were all happy when his second version of Camaro in the movie was finally produced. But man, I could not find him anywhere!

Thundercracker

Thundercracker back
Anyone remember him from the movie? Didn't think so. No problem! What I love about him is you just don't see this one overstocked. Worth something someday? I sure hope so!

Optimus Prime
Optimus Prime Back
Optimus Prime Front
How could I not add this one eh? Again, overstocking not an issue as this is literally the first one I have seen in 5+ months of searching. VERY proud of finding him.

So now what? I've spent the last seven months creating this site to showcase my collection. Is it impressive? Well, to me it is. My garage has a few useful things but plenty of "collector items". Who knows what the future is for them. I can't wait for my son to (maybe) take it up on his own. He may wanna open them first though. LOL I say let him.
