Post your Transformers hauls - 2011 edition

[Tarantulas]

Picked up a RotF Grindor/Ratchet Voyager Class 2 Pack from my local comic shop for $45. I've always wanted Grindor and this Ratchet has a much better paint job than the DotM one. Also, a local Winners store had HA Bumblebee and HA Jazz, which are now in my possession.

Edit:
Almost forgot...
I picked up Generations Drift from Wal Mart... this guy looks so badass, I had to have him.

Sid got all my money. Picked up PE-11 and Encore Metroplex. PE-11 has been fun with Generations Thundercracker. Will post pics later.

I got it during the group buy last year (thanks to dark rage for organizing it, and sureshot for sharing the shipping with me).

I'm extremely happy with the set. Very good quality, and I would definitely but it again. Only difference between these and the originals, as far as I can tell, is that the originals have slightly sharper detailing (in the chest, etc.) And the colours might be very slightly different. Not that these figures lack detailing, it's just a little more muted. That said I only know because of comparison pics I've seen online. I don't have any originals to do my own comparison.

When you consider vintage "common" headmasters can sell for $30 per head, $10 per head for repros of these rare heads is a fantastic deal!

I love them!!! I once bought a set from an ebay seller he had 2 versions the pink and purple, also in double the size I bought for Alternators...I think the seller's name was "dfouceb" or something close that. There was a time shipping was $1.50 and free for extra sets. Unfortunately, I was unemployed at that time and I didn't but any.

Here was the first time I posted a pic of them.

Oh right, your question...it was the dealer's last 6 sets, and I bought them all, he gave me a deal and charged me $20.

For some reason I missed them in on my initial 5 walkarounds of the dealer room. Who knows how many more I would have gotten?

I would have joined in as well, if I wasn't unemployed last year.

Totally agree...and now many vintage heads go for $40.

Nope sorry. I missed those. I only got the 10 pack.

Who were in the 12 pack?

[ranneko]

Prolly 10. Couldn't remember.

Finally tracked down an Acid Storm thanks to fellow board member digitalskull. Awesome. Love it when you get home to find packages waiting for you

[Hobbyist Prime]

Picked up the Legion class weaponized Roadbuster from walmart today!

[UltraPrimal]

Picked up the WalMart exclusive Lunarfire "Bling Bling" Optimus Prime. Came up $15, but since they had a bunch of the other, older WalMart exclusive deluxe Primes on an island thingy near the entrance, I quite easily argued it down to the sale price.

Had to get him. He's to gaudy not to. Only complaint is that his gun's peg is way too far down. It's practically in the middle! Why can't anyone design good MechTech weapons? All of them have to have something wrong with them.

[malteselegacy]

Picked up RTS Perceptor for $8.99 at XS Cargo.

I got a G1 Soundwave Reissue MISB courtesy of Crackerboy.
Also got the MP Ghost Starscream.
