Honestly though...never cared much for Grimlock. I mean MP one would look nice but not a must for me. I can definitely skip on this no matter what.

Really? Grimlock was my fave from G1 (see avatar ) I was a typical "Dinosaurs are awesome" kid, and then got my hands on some transforming Dinosaurs?! How can it get better?! Still gotta track down a Swoop and Sludge though to complete my G1 set. Stupid Hasbro not re-releasing them during G2...

My fave will always be Starscream. The only MP I'll get...well maybe Prime in the future but that's about it.

I admit the Botcon set is a little different this year, but the novelty is enough to make me want to get it. My G2 Prime was one of the figures I really played with a lot as a kid so I guess there is some nostalgia in it for me.

I actually got into the customizing class this year so it'll be nice to finally get to attend that. I haven't been to Botcon since 2006.

i got onslaught for 5 dollars at target yesterday!!!!! The cashier was cool and gave me a discount, he was scanning at 7 dollars

Am I th only one here who has no love for G2 Transformers? Other then Tank Megatron I didn't like any of the toys.

You're not the only one. I completely ignored Gen 2. As far as I'm concerned, G2 never happened.
I grew up with G1, then got into first-gen Beast Wars in college, and recently I've been collecting the movie toys.

G2 has a niche following. There have been lots of people in the fandom who have been requesting a return to the G2-verse because they loved the comic. The funny thing about this is that only 2 of this year's Botcon set that are actual G2 figures (all but G2 Breakdown are UK exclusive G1 figures re-released in the G2 line) were released in the US, Rapido (assuming the pictures are true) and Breakdown (and that was only given out at Botcon 94).

I think once all the figures are shown, people are going to think, uh... shouldn't this have been UK-Redux?

What about the Cyberjets and Laser Prime?

Your right about the Laser Prime, I love my recolored Scourge from the RID toy line. The jets I can pass on, plenty of better Jet transformers to choose from.

Yeah, the Cyberjets were tight, as well as the laser rods and cycles! Cyberjets and Laser cycles have been re-released in various lines, but idk why the laser rods never have. I've only got Electro, but damned if that's not a great fig. Amazing articulation for the time too!

Check out this awesome collection of sealed G1's for sale over at tempting toys. Credit goes to tfw2005.com for posting the link.
Apparently they are soliciting offers right now, via email.

Just went apeshit on the TRU sale, the whole $10 off $30 fiasco. Got about 15 Transformers for $32 shipped, three animated (Soundwave, Lockdown, and Oil Slick... had no interest in Lugnut seeing as he would have to be a seperate order and he rose shipping a bit high), and 13 ROTF's (mostly the scout ones, and 2 or 3 deluxe classes).

If you need to fill holes in your collection, now is the time to do it.

How did you do this. Even with the sale prices and the 10 off 30, those 15 figs come out to be WAY more than $17 shipped.

Yea, I ended up getting more after I made that post... it ended up being around $32 shipped when all is said and done after I went back for Lugnut and some others. Or do you mean how was it so cheap to begin with? The glitch was making a ton of figures free, taking $10 off each one once you hit $30. The scouts ended up costing me 0.00, the animated figures were $2 (Lugnut was $4) and the deluxe ROTF's were all 0.00 (since the Scouts and ROFT were under $10, it made them free). Dead now, though.

I thought the thread had gotten moved out of Deal Graveyard, but I guess it never was.

Of course I missed it! :( Woulda went for the Robot Heroes and some of the SW crossovers. Have everything else. Ah well, didn't really need em anyway.

BOGO50%off all Transformers at TRU Fri. thru Mon.

These can NOW be ordered through HasbroToyShop. Anyone have any good coupons to go with them?

, of course the freeship20 coupon expired the 23rd. Power Core Combiners are up too, among others (a couple other deluxes and some scouts). Need a coupon. 201.61 after tax and 20.00 shipping (20.00! go yourself HBTS)

EDIT: found a coupon on the tfw boards: thanks10 10% off. Wish Amazon carried these ers, so I could order em tax free/free shipping. Most of the stuff on Amazon is from a third party, so pay shipping and sometimes tax, and often ridiculous markup.
