Well, I now have Shadow Command Megatron (black RotF Leader Class), Hobotron (DotM Megatron), Wheeljack, Kup, Scourge and... someone else who escapes my short-term memory on laybuy.

The four Deluxe ones are just a normal laybuy, while the two Megatrons are a xmas laybuy.

Actually I'm glad about SC!Megs, I was expecting I'd have to laybuy him in the city but I've found him down at the Hyperdome, where I have all my other laybuys.

Maybe after these guuys I can finally get onto buying MP Nemesis and Rodimus - at least, after Mum's birthday.

ETA 1:18 PM: Oh, the one I forgot was DotM Laserbeak.

Also, the first part of this post was done while I was waiting for a bus - my first mobile post outside the house! (This ETA is being done at home.)

ETA 9:16 PM: Also, SC Negs is officially going to be known as Blacktron. I don't know how many people understand the irony there, you have to have knowledge of early 90s Space Lego lines. For those who don't know... This is first wave Blacktron Space Lego.

Also? I own that set. It is still one of my old reliable sets in my Lego collection. If I recall the storyline correctly, the original owner was a Blacktron officer transferred to the Base after Blacktron cut a deal with Space Corp. I think his name was Marcus and he was in a relationship with the Base's resident space cop, Stella, until her brother (also a Blacktron) got transferred there as well. Let's just say Marcus didn't like how close Stella and her brother were and jumped to conclusions of the incest kind.
The Stell's brother's (whose name I can't track down) commanding officer, Josh, has Marcus removed from the base on grounds that the new relationship between Space Corp and Blacktron, and more importantly the Space Police and Blacktron didn't need a lover's spat messing it up.

Suffice to say, naming Megatron "Blacktron" has a lot of fond reminders for me of my great Lego saga.
