Whoa. Drool. Blink. More drool.

1st May 2008, 12:15 AM
hmm, very nice!!!!

well, not sure if mine is considered as May 1st acquisition but has arrived in April and collected only last night (after being lost in Melbourne west suburbs itself)

- G1 Thrust, missing a short missile and a right/left first
- G1 Bumblebee minibot

(pics up later tomorrow)

Thanks to Kup and Dirge for getting them for me and Demonac for hitching his postal delivery from Sydney

These come from a customiser I know in the US. They do a very good job.

I have a few more orders with them including a Blurr (custom head), Kup (custom head), Wheelie (working this out with him now), and Hoist (custom head and hook).

Let me know if anyone is interested in commissioning any custom alternators.

If you are interested in any of the items you see, I can find out if they would be willing to take more orders.

kelvin, do they just have custom head of ironhide and ratchet???
cos from the pic above, they look like 3D moulds

kelvinchang99
1st May 2008, 09:37 AM
They are using heads from other alternators. I can ask them if can create these heads if you like and how much. They look pretty close to the original. I think the head for Ironhide comes from Skid repainted and i'll find out which head the ratchet comes from.

It would be Prowl's head wouldn't it?

Due to the custom sculpted heads, I was wondering if Sculptbot made these for you? http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-images/radicons-customs/tags/Sculptbot

kelvinchang99
1st May 2008, 12:38 PM
No.. it wasnt sculptbot but they are doing the Blurr and Hoist head for my next lot. This guy was independant I met on eBay a little while ago and I got a few customs from him. Although the sculptbot work is very nice.

I_amtrunks, I think you are right about the Prowls head.

Apart from Flywheels (who doesn't actually have any wheels) the rest is my Junk haul.
Seekers for customization, Sandstorm and Inferno for alt mode posing, black Sideswipe for love, Bonecrusher because sure...I needed a fourth one and Snarl for no damn reason at all.

ahhhh...my long long long long long awaited preorder of WST Junger Warrior (Sludge) and Bombardiar (Swoop in G1 colours) has arrived!!!

Pics will be put up later....

To cut the story short, as one of us in the bulk order has dropped out...i'm wondering if anyone here would be interested in buying off the extra 4th pair of WSTs at A$71 (price paid since May 2007). I originally sent a mail to exchange it for the Christmas Stocking WSTs but apparently they forgot to change it in the order. Please PM me if you do want it else it will be available at Sanddown

Also got myself some Transformer Danglers on the way home
(Left to Right) Bumblebee, Megatron, Jazz, Ironhide (more like off-road ironhide, Brawl and the exclusive Barricade
http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/9760/p5030016ce0.jpg

it seems that these figures are from United Kingdom and on ebay, there's a US seller selling the whole set but only consist of 7 figures (without Barricade). Here, i'm just missing Optimus Prime and Bonecrusher to complete :P

Hi Kuzzy,

They are from a customiser in US and these are custom Alternators. If you are interested, PM me and I'll ask if he is interested in doing anymore. But he charges USD so whether its viable.

Stencilator does custom too on Alt, maybe he would be interested in doing them.

Apparently you're not alone in the bubbles being on the edge of the page and in the wrong places. It's been a complaint I've heard a few times across the board.

Ah, Iceburn you're still a sucker for the repaints. We can't support them man! How could betray us? :p

Any thoughts, Paulbot? I've been giving the 2nd batch a think but I'm not really convinced about Blurr and Sideswipe tho I am somewhat partial to the new head mold that he's got.

Paulbot
5th May 2008, 06:46 PM
The deluxe sized bots are cool, I like the G2 homage in Sideswipe, the Jazz head on Ricochet and the sparkly blue of evil Blurr. Rampage is weak, but I never liked that set of Minicons.

My impressions basically mirror STL's review thread - Megatron would have looked even better if the silver on his wings was used for his body rather than the grey. One thing i thought was strange - the Decepticon logo on the fusion cannon seems to have unusually large 'eyes'! It looks awesome in metallic purple regardless though - as does the chrome on his chest. The little touches and crisp, simplified colour schemes really make these figures appear way more classy than their price would suggest!

Acquired today:

http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q305/Redboost77/Acquisitions/acquisitions35.jpg

Chevy Aveo Swerve
Star Wars Obi Wan Starfighter
Star Wars Clone Pilot Republic Gunship

I'm surprised the Aveo didn't get a wider release. It fits in perfectly with classics and its transformation is unique. Highly recommended if you can get your hands on one at a decent price (I scored this for $65 Aus shipped via ebay).

dirge
8th May 2008, 11:02 PM
Okay. I've only opened Ricochet for now (the others went straight back in the bags for now, will get to them eventually). He's the Evil Stepper I wanted (:

This seven toy acquisition marks 1331-1337. So my 1337 toy (something Goktimus alluded to a while back) is Evil Stepper (whom I secured after the pre-reg set anyway).

Originally saw it at Target and they had it priced at $16.99. That can't be right can it? Passed and bought it for $14.74 at Big W instead. Still a ripoff, but better (not much better though:mad:)

Probably ebay...

Very likely the seller opened the boxes very carefully then re-sealed them. Also possible he had an electronic scale to weight each box and knew what would be inside.

http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/4448/1001510uv1.th.jpg

Rationale for getting these , movie robot heroes are plain fugly looking i decided i only wanted one of each character instead buying all the sets and getting stuck with every ugly looking figures, so when i saw this auction i liked the choice of singles.I wanted bonecrusher but didnt want to get 2 ironhide, cause i would be getting one with the dispensor pack, i didnt want to get Jazz with frenzy cause i would get jazz in final battle but also i could get a plain jazz with megatron, i didnt want to get scopo with optimus cause i would get Optimus in the final battle pack.

didnt really want blackout or brawl (cause wanted protoform optimus)

but since i would rarely see a singles scorpornok, frenzy or bonecrusher not in pairs what the hell...

I got 4 Thrusts which is hate from the seller :(

I think that European Chevy website that started selling them on their website may have been told to stop by Hasbro, because they were produced and sold to Chevy on the condition that they weren't resold (at least according to Hasbro at BotCon). It's still bizarre to have a completely original Transformers design 'wasted' on a limited edition 'freebie' release, that Hasbro said they can't release themselves without permission from Chevy.

Damn that's a cheap price (the WA ebay listing above). I find it impossible to find them for under US$100, and then you have international shipping on top.

X

http://lindalane.com/temporary/tf/jrx3.jpg

A truly awesome and unique combiner!

Though I've seen him briefly before, I did not recall him being as tall. The transformations are clever, the combined JRX is more posable than most other combiners and all the weapons are stowable in train mode which I love... although most of the weapons end up being carriage hooks to link carriages on to their tails... although I know of no available carriages (Kyle? ;))

They're even quite handsome I might add*. Here is JRX:

http://lindalane.com/temporary/tf/jrx4.jpg

His visor does not obstruct his eyes as much in person... which was hard to capture. And here are the three individual head molds:

After many years, many missed auctions, and the threat of KO's, I finally managed to get myself a G1 Gnaw with all his weapons, absoloutely gorgeous chrome, and 100% original.

And it only cost me $126 (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=320233155282&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=011)

But I didn't care about the price. It was complete and not a KO and i've been after him for a long long time and i'm fairly certain he's last the figure I need from the movie cast.

griffin
18th May 2008, 07:10 AM
It always puzzled me as to why Gnaw has always been so darn expensive, because it is such an ugly, almost obscure, character. Probably it is one of those toys that very few bought when it was released, and is now just harder to find than other toys from that era. When I started buy TFs online in the late 90s, I wanted to have a horde of Sharkticons (like the movie), but it took about 4 or 5 years just to acquire 3 at a reasonable price (under $100). I ended up giving up on that idea.
Hmm, maybe there were other fans out there who also wanted hordes of Sharkticons as well, leaving less for others to fight over...

I ended up giving up on that idea.
Hmm, maybe there were other fans out there who also wanted hordes of Sharkticons as well, leaving less for others to fight over...

WOW Kup! I'm an super uber jealous of that Liokaiser. I've had my eye on that figure for a while but it has been way too expensive for me. You're so lucky to find that figure at the fair and for just an awesome price. Oh well, at least that's one less fan i have to fight with on ebay for that figure :D. I really have to go to these fair more often now with stuff like that showing around.

Oh and btw, for those who remember, i FINALLY got my refund from paypal for those fake TF casettes i bought from ebay. It took ages to convince paypal that they were fake, but justice prevailed in the end :D YAY!

Yet another thumbs up for Kyle and HK buddies! I didn't want to spoil all my retail hunting, so i just got the 2 for now. Not disappointed in the slightest with either figure. At first I thought Prime's top wasn't snug, but after going to robot and back, and slotting in the axe properly, it's tighter than Henkei OPs wind vane. I was also worried about the back of his truck mode, a video review on YouTube mentioned how they don't lock, and look split-apart. But, you just need to bend the spine-type piece and click, a perfect fit :) Prowl is just wow - Karate Kid all the way:D

I just bought an MP-04 from one online store & an MP-05 from another online store!

Even though these were the cheapest I could find both of them for, my credit card is still gonna be charged some $500 altogether!

:D :( :)

Well, the first MP showed up today & he is just_plain_awesome! :D

The only thing that bugged me about him was that when I tried to push in his fuel tanks to shorten his legs, his legs would not shorten at all! I thought there was something wrong with my MP Prime until suddenly his legs shortened with very little force! Does anyone else's MP Prime seem very stiff when shortening his legs or is it just mine?

Anyway, he's currently in Alt Mode (he's bloody massive!) but I won't be posting any pics of him until his sworn enemy gets here sometime next week (hopefully :)).

Yeah my MP02 has one leg that usually require me to undo the screws in his upper leg before it will shorten, yet works fine to lengthen.
