She’s going to kill me…

I won this kinda by accident on ebay. It’s a Transformer. Yep. The toys from the 80’s. I still love them. I’m 31. Almost 32. With a child on the way. I guess Beth already knows that I won it. $3.99 – retails at $9.99, so after shipping, it was $10.98. But it is also not in stores anymore.
Grow up? I play in a cover band! I’m male!
This figure is pretty sweet. Should be coming in the mail any day.
This is one of the better lines Hasbro has made of late. The Alternators line was pretty cool, 1:24 scale cars (model size) with some nice transformations. I have 8 of those (Sideswipe, Hound, Smokescreen, Wheeljack, Skids, Sunstreaker, Prowl, and Tracks), there are a couple more I wouldn’t mind getting, but these are impossible to find in stores.
The classics line (which is what Ramjet comes from) are some really nice renditions of the original G1 line. I’d really like to complete this collection. It’s not huge, probably cost about $120 to complete with some good bidding. I somehow doubt that will happen though.
If your interested, here’s the lineup:
| Autobots | Decipticons |
| Optimus Prime | Megatron |
| Bumblebee | Starscream |
| Ultra Magnus | Skywarp |
| Cliffjumper | Astrotrain |
| Mirage | Ramjet |
| Jetfire | Soundwave (TRU exlusive – remake of G1 toy) |
| Grimlock | Devastator (5 piece Walmart exclusive) |
| Hot Rod |
There is also a crappy 2 pack of a different Prime and Megatron. I don’t need that. The other ones…It would be nice. They also have those stupid “rub” stickers instead of the faction’s insignias. Some people thought those were cool? Dumb. This line is super poseable. I like them. Kinda fun to set up a work. People stop by to see what position it’s in!
Now, if I really had some money to blow, there are these Masterpiece transformers which would just be ridiculously awesome: Prime, Megatron, Starscream, and Skywarp! Only $100 a piece! I’ll just keep dreaming about those!
Someday I’ll grow up!

These are all on clearance!!! $6 @ Target! I managed to nail down a couple more: Mirage and Astrotrain. It’s not the worst habit, but there are definitely better things for me to spend money on…
