Toys that we've wanted for a while, but have yet to pull the trigger on?

And really, 130$ is a lot for a movie optimus that doesn't transform...for that price, I could get two Bandai Master Grades, or a Perfect Grade Gundam kit.

i too want that dual mode kit one day but not big on my list.

personally i want to know where you can get a PG gundam for $130???!!! i have most of the good ones but ive never seen a PG for $130.

I just wish that I could get a G1 styled Megatron that has a flight based alt mode (like Animated's helicopter mode). I'm sure that'll never happen, but I can hope!

Maybe that new 3rd party Megs would fill your need? Sure it's a gun alt-mode, but the sculpt is sublime, and the scale is just a bit bigger than Voyager. I'm really looking forward to it...

I'd really like the Lego Deathstar but I really can't justify $500.

Well, if you saved up a little bit of money, you could afford a perfect grade for the prices I've seen a DMK prime.

I guess the biggest for me is Brave Maximus (no pun intended); have the cash, but not the room.

C'mon now, such an easy fix. Buy a bigger house.

Classics Jetfire. At the time it was him or Prime and I chose Prime. When I was finally ready to buy Jetfire he was sold out. I haven't been able to find him at a good price online yet or at a time when I'm not busy hunting for newer stuff.

I don't ever expect to have a Fort Max unless I find him at a flea market or yard sale and the seller doesn't know what they have. Otherwise, I just can't bring myself to spend that much money on one toy.

I'd be lying if I said that Hegemon didn't pique my interest...it's probably the best G1 inspired Megatron yet designed. Though for the price it's going for, I'd probably grab the Henkei version first.

That said, some good early reviews could make me change my mind!

Same with the Lego Superstar Destroyer. How the hell does Lego justify selling it $499CDN when it's $399US?

I've actually picked up a bunch of TF's that I have been wanting for a while recently because of the dry spell with the Japan imported stuff I collect.

Picked these up in the last month, mostly from Cybertron.ca members

- BW Magmatron
- BW Big Convoy
- BW Optimus Primal
- BW Megatron
- BW Scorponok
- RID Megatron
- Energon Megatron
- Classics Sons of Cybertron boxset

So that knock down quite a bit on my "To-buy' list, I still want Energon Galvatron and Cybertron Galvatron, but those will have to wait.
