November

As I while away my time, trying to choose between purchasing pieces to fill gaps or ones to display as packaged samples of things I already own, I find myself doing my best to appease both schools of thought.  My eBay watch list ebbs and flows, and my Stack and Pile of Loot at a certain pair of online retailers continue to swell.  This month was very productive, as I hope the following images detail:

Camshaft, one of the Omnibots...

Downshift, one of Camshaft's buddies...

...and this little guy.

The Micromaster Off-Road Patrol...

Roadgrabber, one of the harder to find Pretenders in this shape...

Flattop

"K-Mart" Legends Starscream...

The Record Store Day exclusive pressing of the TF:TM Soundtrack...

...and finally: Minerva.  Her box is opened, but her stickers are unapplied.  She looks amazing.

     So I guess that wraps it up for November.  Be sure to check out my next post, which should feature more carded G1 stuff, and a smattering of BotCon odds & ends.

Forever Destron  

Doha - October

...Grumble, Grumble...

     I know.  It's been a year since I last posted.  I've been busy, sure, but not too busy to shop.  As a result of my endless meandering, this is less a post about setting up my collection and more a brag-reel of my latest purchases. I will endeavor to at least maintain this as a monthly recap of my disdain for money.
Enjoy.
