Exactly the same, sold all my Transformers & Joes. No regrets, except I should have done it sooner.

Amen. Though that toylines and being a part of that fandom got me to here. I wouldn't be where I am without the numerous buy/sell/trade deals I've had over the years, initially with Transformers. I wouldn't be on staff here had I not begun as Transformer fan at TFW.

Yeah, my interest in transformers as far as toys goes has wained a little. I'm usually not interested unless it's master piece or third party…evidently, I kinda impulse bought my first transformer at retail in a long while:



finally stumbled across Generations Springer…my area kinda sucks as far as distribution goes. Also got Playstation All Stars: Battle Royale an three ACG Set 1 packs…note the price that's on the boosters.

This is from a couple weeks ago but I forgot to post about it:



HG Zedas, Vanguard Infinite Phantom Legion Booster Box, Dark Dictator Single.

Springer is one of 3 retail TFs I've bought in the last several months, and the only one I'm planning on keeping (gonna return the other two tomorrow, hopefully). It's quite a good toy. Makes me want to get Blitzwing, but I'm not going to bother right now.

Blitzwing is cool if you want to put in the work into fixing him. By default he comes such that the shoulder bits aren't secure. You have to take apart the chest assembly and sand down the insides a considerable amount. It's quite stupid that it doesn't function properly out of the box, but I've done custom work before and I enjoy it, so I didn't mind.

Glad they arrived safely.

Blitzwing is a great figure. The shoulders are a minor problem that has been blown extremely out of proportion by a very loud portion of the fanbase, partly because he was released with the (almost?) perfect Springer.
He's an excellent triple changer with an awesome face gimmick and he looks great in all modes. The shoulders aren't even noticeable unless you plan on putting him in bizarre poses.

Blitzwing is great. I think another issue why everyone is so down on the figure is that the G1 Blitzwing was almost perfect (minus articulation), so any new version that is less than perfect seems like a downgrade.
Springer, on the other hand... sheesh. Anything is an improvement from his G1 figure and the mass of 2-form repaints that got released with his name attached.
