Recent Purchases October 2020
 

Happy Spooky Month everyone! Let's show off our new merch!

For me, the new Lightning Collection Goldar arrived(posted about him in the LC thread), but also...

Ankh is finally free from Nippon-Yasan Hell!

I haven't done one of these posts in a while, but when you get this much stuff in one day, a post on the Recent Purchases thread is the only way to make sense of it:

-A Kamen Rider Build reissue, so I can have a little trophy up on a shelf to remind me that I watched the whole series
-A Kamen Rider Joker Figure-Rise kit, my favorite type of kit to build
-MMC's "Mors", their version of Helex from the Decepticon Justice Division, putting me one figure away from a complete DJD years after they stopped appearing in the comics
-Earthrise Snapdragon
-and a reissued Baroness, bought when I bought the Snapdragon, because the only childhood toys I have any nostalgia for are 3 3/4" G.I.Joes

More next week! October's going to be a bad month for me financially, but luckily I've never cared about my finances.

Absolutely love how you have nothing to say about Snapdragon

He exists! I found him on a shelf at Walmart and bought him, but I haven't opened it yet. I don't... I don't really have any feelings about him yet? And buying him was a boring story? Buying Transformers is, like, an autonomic process for me. Mostly I can note that it happened, but additional details feel superfluous.

You and me both. Case in point, I just got back from my local Wal-Mart and saw this unexpected expense:

For context, the Wal-Mart damn near never packs any exclusives, so this was a pleasant surprise! And I gotta say, for once the hype was justified. You can tell alot of love and care went into these figures.

Got in my Tajadol! Any one else tend to gravitate more to the Upgrade forms?

I take it that stand is from the original release? It looks cool.

And for me it depends on the series when it comes to me liking upgrade forms more or not. Absolutely love Amazing Mighty Kuuga and Sagozo OOO, for example. But for Riders like Hibiki and Meteor I love the base suits way more.

This is very much a mood, and probably proof I should buy less.

Agreed, Riders like Fourze, Wizard and Drive, I much prefer the Base forms because their upgrades are kinda glaring.

Oof, that FangJoker. So beautiful. Love that shot!

But if we all bought less we wouldn't have a Recent Purchases thread, and that's too tragic to contemplate. Better to keep buying!

Early morning mail call from Hasbro Pulse. First up is the White Costume Silk.

Even though I prefer her Gray outfit(it being my favorite color and all), I didn't buy that one as I refuse to buy any Marvel Legends that doesn't come with accessories. Might just grab a gray Gundam Marker and paint over the white lines myself. Although I gotta say, for a ML, the paintwork is surprisingly clean on her.

Next is the guy I was most excited to get, EVO III Lord Drakkon!

https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...0d&oe=5F9E10FA

I'm not sure you can tell by this picture just how friggen big this box is. Like, it's a great design, don't get me wrong, but I'm not immediately sure of where I can store it. Regardless, there's definitely one picture I'm gonna wanna take with this guy later. As soon as a 'nother figure I ordered gets here in a couple days...

I’ve received the Swordriver I said I’d purchased in the last thread.

(Though I have run into a problem with it, which I’m not sure is worth going into here or requires another thread)

Picked up Lightning Collection SPD Red Ranger the other day, intend on using this one for a custom project later down the road.

Managed to get my hand on a better way of storing my Bakugan collection

On an unrelated note, I am preparing to sell a Pyrus Dragonoid and Haos Gorthion for those who are interested, complete with reference cards and power cells. eBay links will be coming shortly for anyone who want to add these pretty common Bakugan and their relevant support cards to their collection.

This guy was half off on AmiAmi a few months back, and now he's finally out of there and into my collection!

Flying out of Nippon-Yasan Hell, it's Iron Man!

https://scontent.fdet3-1.fna.fbcdn.n...c8&oe=5FA36D51

I keep falling down all these packages, help.

Got SHF TLJ Phasma and a squad of TFA Stormtroopers for her at a really good price from Chasing's sales thread. He's still got more stuff available if you want to take a look. While she may have never amounted to much in the movies, it was still a damn good looking suit

Bonus game, try to identify the two blurry shaped figures next to my fan!

Just throw them away, it's not like you're using them right? And you can always look at the graphics online.

*ducks flaming arrow*

These all showing up on the same day made working from home nearly impossible haha. But it's a first-world problem I'll happily invite!

Another one out of NY Hell: Leopardon!

Now only a couple more and all of my orders from Nippon-Yasan will have been rescued.

My set has been completed. Now to debate whether to complete the combos or go for Hayate.

What about Buster?

The Gekido doesn’t really appeal to me.

My Zenmarket order came in today. Featuring everybody's favorite toku robot 2020.

Not pictured: the big non-toku model kits.

First haul of the month, finally picked up Blaze and Lord Drakkon:

They're very good figures; Hope you enjoy them!

Don't you mean BLADES lol

Lol. His name is a little confusing. I thought it was supposed to be Kamen Rider Blaze but it's actually Blades? Probably because of the way Japanese is romanized but still confusing. Haha. Although having thought about it a bit more, Blades makes more sense because of the sword motifs they got and him being a water element.

Got an OOO CC so-do set I bought from KR Die.

...somehow I got the impression it was a set. Pleasantly surprised to get double bird and dino bois. Gave one dino to a bud, but maaan I was not prepared for how many stickers these guys have.

Non-toku, I recently upgraded my laptop, got some pencils, took an art com and snagged a mousepad.

Neat! Glad it arrived safe. Tajador is... hoo, boy. A lot of stickers.

Yeah, aside from a hiccup on USPS' part, it was perfect. Once I get some more cash, I might buy some more of your spares.

I did drop a Shauta sticker, cause it was super tiny. On the plus side, it's... super tiny and barely noticeable.

I got quite a few things today.(including a Lego set, an action figure two pack and a Lego minifigure) But this is my main takeaway.

I’d do a video, but things kept going wrong with the staging, so it was scrapped.

Probably not the best place to ask, but looking for a quick answer- are there any good Transformers based on trains? I already have Rail Racer but I'm hoping theres something more modern out now.

People seem to like Siege/Earthrise Astrotrain, who's as recent as it gets! Otherwise, there's Titans Return Sentinel Prime / Astrotrain, who's a space train!

3rd Party, and it'd probably be pretty hard to find nowadays since it's an almost 10 year old toy, but I remember MMC's' Annihilator getting alot of praise back when it dropped.

TBH I had totally forgotten that I had pre-ordered this. It was a pleasent surprise in the mail today!

Is that the one that makes the opening-chest sound from the Zelda games?

Got my Zaia Enterprise-sponsored corporate product in today. Looking forward to snapping pics.

Sadly no, it's just a fancy cardboard chest. But it's really fancy cardboard!

Yes hello I still live. And bought WAY TOO MUCH this month.
