I’ve really been looking forward to picking up Sockade when it was released at actual stores. I saw him on eBay for like 40 bucks and I wasn’t about to pay that much for an unreleased toy. Well, I found a small collectable toy shop that had one in stock….this toy shop was across the street from another toy shop whom also had stockade in stock. SCORE! 2 for one – to play with and the other to archive!

Stockade in robot form

Super bad ass! By far my favorite movie toy.

Stockade in his Sector 7 SUV form

Sector 7 SUV mode

Stockade packaged and loose!

Just to prove I have two =)

Barricade!

Well it’s been a few months since the initial release of the live action film Transformers and I’ve been busy hunting specific toys from the movie. I have been rigorously hunting Barricade’s police car form. I actually stumbled upon it (for the first time since the toys were released 8 months ago) at a consignment toy shop in Huntington Beach, California. The name of this place is pointless because they are closing their doors by the 3rd of February 2008.  Packaged Barricade from 2007 Transformers Movie 

Anyway, here he is in all his non existent toy glory.

Recon Barricade

It’s kind of sad, I had been looking for Barricade’s movie (police car) form since June 2007. I happen to stumble across the pile of crap known as Recon Barricade at a Target in Encinitas. My girlfriend picked it up for me and I couldn’t care less about keeping it sealed. After all, I wasn’t about to stop looking for the other version. A security car…whoopty do. Anyway I still dig it. For some reason it’s a pain in the arse to get back into the Saleen Mustang form. Only Transformer toy that gives me any grief =(

Rawr!

Hidden clunkiness

For clarification i love my girlfriend and appreciate her picking it up for me. 

Anyway Girlfriend is with me @ and we’re about to have dinner with my mother and brother.

Peace out.
