Those TFC Terrorcons look fantastic. As does the Cang Toys Predacons we've seen so far. I currently have five different 3P combiner sets awaiting completion and I don't know if I should jump into two more.

I'm also probably going to wind up ordering the IF Heat Death and Honekumoki just because they look cool (were these actual transformers or just something IF made up?)

They are, they're just filtered through IF's "house style". Heat Death is Beast Wars Transmetal II Megatron, Honekumoki is Bludgeon but with a big oni face on his chest cause he's a samurai.

Edit^^^ Gotcha, thanks for the info. Can't see myself not getting the heat death.

I watched a couple of reviews on the TFC Aquacons and thought they looked really fun. I knew no matter what I was going to get that rippersnapper so I figured why not.

I have purchased from them in the past. Shipping took ages and the price was inflated but it was a hard to find figure. What are you looking to buy from them?

The Selects Seacons. They seem like the cheapest option.

TF Source has Overbite and Tentakil up for pre-order still so I was going to go there for those two. It's more than I'd like but the best option I can find, unfortunately.

Does Pulse have an in stock alert? A couple have gone back into stock 3 or 4 times over the last week or so. Or what about the Tomy Mall box set? I don't think that's gone up for preorder yet.

Struck out, unfortunately. I can't find Seawing or Nautilator for less than $100 each so I'm just going to wash my hands. Throw 'em on my Source wishlist and hope for the best.

Also I picked up that Apollo guy; him and Sheridan should be here some time next week and then you know I’ll actually touch the package a week after that.

He's an extensive retool of Hun-grr (who's base engineering is derived from Silverbolt). He's a pretty good figure but I'm pretty sure when the rest of the team arrives I'll never uncombine them.

Thanks for this post. I also put in for them. Just short Tentakil now. Was originally going to stay away as I'd much prefer a box set but these look pretty great now that folks have had some in hand.

Same. Seacons are great, the turtle was one of my favorite bots as a kid, but I’m trying not to get spend happy until after I get back to work.

It’s up to the rest of you to post pictures, so I can once again live vicariously through you.

Thanks for the info everyone! This hole excursion started with me stumbling across the TFC Toys upcoming Rippersnapper, which was one of my favorites as a kid.

The backlog of IF stuff made me a bit wary of trying to get some of the older releases. So I wound up with Newage sort of by default. I also really like the simple cartoonish look of the new age stuff.

All in all I wound up picking up the Newage Jazz, Megatron, and Shockwave along with the TFC Toys Sinnertwin. I'm also probably going to wind up ordering the IF Heat Death and Honekumoki just because they look cool (were these actual transformers or just something IF made up?)

I'm going to have to kill collecting something else, because oh man...

I'm telling you, the Newage Ratchet/Ironhide mold is pretty fantastic if you like Ratchet or Ironhide. Maybe I can get my phone and the Awful app to cooperate later and get a picture.

His turtle mode is abysmal, but the other modes are good. He's one of those figures who's clearly a torso first.

Gross. I never took the original out of his turtle mode. A lot of the monster type alt modes were far superior to their bot modes.

I almost grabbed Ironhide and Cosmos, but decided I'd rather not miss out on Megatron if I was only grabbing a few to start with. If I like these as much as I think I will I'll definitely be ordering Starscream and Ironhide at some point (would love to have them all, ha).
