It's been a while since I've done toy reviews on LiveJournal, so I guess I shall do a summary of my recent items... Within the past few weeks?

A few weeks back, I decided to get the last TFA figures I could get before the movie toyline comes along, so I got the infamous shelfwarmers; Oil Slick and Blackarachnia. Almost instantly regret Blackarachnia, she's hard to stand and just isn't all that impressive, but I'm sure she's good for Beast Wars fans. Oil Slick, on the other hand, is a cool boy. He's got a funky Earth alt mode (and it's technically exclusive to the toy, since he's always got a Cybertronian mode in other forms of media!) Overall, Oil Slick was worth getting, but Blackarachnia is something I MIGHT be willing to sell. I may have plans for her shoulders in future kitbash projects (you know, once I get into actual kitbashing.)

Not so long ago, like a week ago, I received an item from *HunterofHearts - Classics Hot Shot! We had a trade sometime ago, where she got my Energon Rodimus and Prowl, and I got... Hot Shot. A MAJOR improvement over the Armada figure, but his poor Mini-Con Jolt... the Armada one is better, sadly. He is a poorly thought out figure, and can hardly even stand unless you have him in a bent over pose. Seriously, wtf Hasbro? Other than the little derpy Mini-Con, he is awesome.

And now, today I FINALLY got to go out and get movie toys! Unfortunately, despite Toys R Us having TONS of movie stuff (a whole isle, 1/4 of an isle, and at the entrance of every other boys-toys isle... wow), they pretty much only had Wave 1 for everything. I got Deluxe class Rampage, who's gotta be the most complex Deluxe I've EVER fiddled with, and is almost intimidating because of it, but I've mastered it now. I almost took advantage of their 50% off deal (If you buy a Deluxe/Fast Action Battler/Robot Replicas, you get a second one at 50% off), but the only thing they had that I wanted was Fast Action Battler's own Long Haul, and... it just didn't feel right. Now I wish I had taken advantage of that deal, because it would've been worth it with how good Rampage was.

Anyway, overall I've only gotten 4 new things. Reviews to come... someday. Got pics of Oil Slick and Blackarachnia, but before I even post the reviews I need to add the TFA synopsis of Endgame Part 2. GAH.

Also, I may not be getting more stuff in a while. Gotta save up to see the movie. And with my Birthday coming up (July 15th), I wanna have cash to spend there. Yup.

That is all.
