OK, here's my haul thread.

First off, some delightful stickers by the talented artist, fellow RPG party member, and good bean @Claudovel of twitter.
.

I picked the two on the top as they generally represent my two moods, while the third foreshadows a future tweet.

Thanks friend!

Micron Booster Reptix
Fandom stalwart and general nice guy @mellowshade of twitter was handing these out, and kindly gave me one.

Thanks Mellow', and best of luck with your current modelling projects.

Bandai Macross 1/55 VF1-J (Hikaru) 2001 Reissue
This is the second time time Toyfu has provided me with a personal holy grail.

Thanks Nick, special thanks to @KarlThurgood of twitter.
.

Oh, and Harmony Gold can fuck right off.

Urluck the Ork

Transformers G2 Hooligan
This is the third time time ToyFu has provided me with a personal holy grail. I love the cyberjets as designs, but this guy was always just outta reach. He's the platonic ideal of G2, not merely colourful, but having balljoints too.

Thanks Nick.

Gundam Universe non-scale OZ-06MS Leo
This oddly swole depiction of the otherwise svelte Leo was acquired from Gundam Mad. It puts me in mind of certain Leos from early animation. Good allrounder too.

Thanks GM!

Buzzworthy Bumblebee G2 Universe Cybertronian Trooper
Now, Skullgrin is possibly the worst Decepticon deluxe of recent times... but I did find this compelling. Possibly a superior retool, but not much in it.

Big thanks to KapowToys for splitting the troop builder packs.

Legacy Autobot Medix
A rescuebot, whom through the wonders of mould reuse, ends up with enough dakka to satisfy your average ork. Possibly the mould is showing wear, but a good time.

Thanks to In Demand Toys, for this, and few other items in this thread.

Blast Effects & repro bits
A few little things that are nice to have.

Thanks @the Glaugof twitter & Matt.

Rise of Tyranny 2-Pack Miner Megatron
Boy-oh-boy. Do I have some analysis about this toy and the character it represents. You know the mould, and its limitations, but its definately used well here.

Big thanks to friend-not-on-social-media for agreeing to split the box.

Legacy Armada Universe Optimus Prime
I don't know if he lives up to the hype. But if he doesn't, he's damn close. Serious ratchets, good looks, and surprisingly good engineering touches. I can nitpick here, and maybe its the new car smell, but this is nice.
