Re: Wife is letting me make an online purchase, Help me spend !

masterpieces are worth the price, if you're going to make an online purchase, and you have a small collection, mps are the way to go

i'd wait and save $50 and get the g2 version of that bruticus, the colours are more toned down on it. also, hopefully the joints falling apart is addressed on swindle before then

If you like combiners and don't want to shell out 3rd party prices, you could try to see if there's any of Hasbro's Power Core Combiners around somewhere. They wouldn't really be a "big item" though, and they're only quasi-combiners.
We checked locally (from West Kelowna to Vernon mostly) & couldn't find dick, but I've got his Crankcase w/Destrons like 4 feet away that came via the internet, and for like 10 bucks + a fraction of shipping its definitely a sweet deal. I think I paid 15 for mine a while back in London Drugs, and I don't regret it for a second.

Personally, I like this one better in its non-combined form, but regardless of the shit the PCC toys get, I actually like a lot of em. The scouts in themselves are some of the neatest we've seen, and ones like Bombshock & Heavytread fit great with limbs of multiple variations.


Grimlock would be a great choice too.

I wouldn't waste the free cash on FOC Bruticus. They are more of an "on sale" price tag imo.
MP Soundwave or something a little less Hasbro would be better to spend that money on. Just cause it's semi-free cash given to you from your wife, doesn't mean you should spend it on something potentially crappy.

If it were me I'd get the new MP Starscream since Hasbro is giving us the MP Thundercracker instead.

Don't taint your big online purchase with something you might not like (FOC Bruticus), buy something you KNOW will be awesome (MP Soundwave).... Lie to your wife and tell her it was only $150... That or a bunch of Alternators

He said he wanted something in stock now and was big on a combiner. The best thing to do is browse on a site like bbts im sure you will find stuff you like. It can add up to 150 really fast.

Re: Wife is letting me make an online purchase, Help me spend !

So go for Green Giant...then sell blood or sperm for awhile till you can afford the rest of it. Honestly though, don't waste it. If I got free money I'd put it towards a pre-order for something better. That's just me. Better to wait to get something better than rush to get something you don't really want but can order it today.
Again, imo.
