May things-n-bits

[Vector Prime]

Fishpond.com order arrived today:

I still haven't bought a DOTM toy at retail yet (and very likely will not do so until the ridiculous prices they're asking for them drop).

[Zippo]

Cheap Blackout from Toyworld and Bumblebee from Fishpond (have emailed them regarding the poor packaging - if a box looks to small and you have to bend the card to fit the toy in then get a bigger box!)

[1AZRAEL1]

Just got these today on my hunt.
The puzzles I have never seen before and just fortunately noticed them on a stock cage in myer. Much better than those terrible movie ones they released and couldnt resist the dreamwave illustrations.

oooo more puzzles? How much where they? I have to get them.

[Hursticon]

oooo more puzzles? How much where they? I have to get them.

Argh! - Why'd they combine 2 previously released puzzles in that 4 pack and not release the Devastator and Optimus ones separately!?! :confused::(

Nice find though LambOfPrimus. ;):cool:

Wow... someone who actually likes Pat Lee's "art"! :eek: Ah well... to each their own. ;) :p

Argh! - Why'd they combine 2 previously released puzzles in that 4 pack and not release the Devastator and Optimus ones separately!?! :confused::(

Were the other 2 released? I don't have them, I have the Devs and Seekers ones, but not the ones in the 4 pack.

[Hursticon]

Were the other 2 released? I don't have them, I have the Devs and Seekers ones, but not the ones in the 4 pack.

Sorry man, I just had a double take and it turns out that none of those contained in the 4 pack have been released individually...
Argh! - Now I wanna track that down now! :mad::p

[Sharky]

Sigh, all other Kmarts are stocked and selling the last generatiojns figs, all but the ones local to me, garaaaaagrhggh:mad::mad::(:(!!

not true nothing near me either or within 3 i looked today

[5FDP]

Argh! - Why'd they combine 2 previously released puzzles in that 4 pack and not release the Devastator and Optimus ones separately!?! :confused::(

The Optimus one has been released before (http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/generation-1-1/official-images-of-australian-release-100-piece-transformers-puzzle-with-robot-heroes-optimus-prime-165618/) in 2008 - in a cylindrical container which included RH Optimus Prime. They were available in Kmarts from memory.


Wow... someone who actually likes Pat Lee's "art"! :eek: Ah well... to each their own. ;) :p

Come on... it's not that bad :rolleyes:

[autobreadticon]

TF love coming back, went and looked around at the new DOTM toys
Gonna start collecting the legions and human basics:) coOol

Got that PCC cause he reminded me of Guzzle
Kup is displayed with G1 Recoil, i like the idea of Kup being old school and using the G1 Targetmasters rather than the United version, need that igear head now

Ah ok cheers dude :cool:, I should've specified that I meant released in the little 'impossible to open without destroying' boxes that came out last year. :)


Come on... it's not that bad :rolleyes:

Some of the style is pretty cool, but think of it like this Goki - Chances are Pat Lee didn't do any of these particular pieces himself anyway. :p:D

[UltraMagnus]

Went to Northland this afternoon and purchased

Tomahawk (so I can turn it into a Classics Whirl)
Thundercracker
Wheeljack
Warpath

Got the last ones.
To confirm what alot of people are saying. Go to Kmart, find a generations figure there on shelf, then speak to the toy person and say that your friend told you that there were more at the back.
The guy at Northland Kmart brought the box with the last figures.

Warpath is going to the hands of Heroic Decepticon when I return to HK.

[GoktimusPrime]

Come on... it's not that bad :rolleyes:
Oh no, aside from lack of proportions, "Stay Puft" body parts (how the hell do Transformers with such fat fingers form fists or operate a gun??), a lack of sequential story-telling in his visual narrative, poor linear perspective, dull surprise (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Dull_surprise) and the occasional completely misplaced body part (http://tfwiki.net/w2/images2/2/2d/DWPrimewhatthe.jpg)... yeah, aside from all that he's not bad at all! :p:p:p (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggXmKPMaHMo)

They all look like Pat Lee's art^handiwork to me.

[Sky Shadow]

They all look like Pat Lee's art^handiwork to me.

In this case they all are, except the Devastator and Superion one, which actually has a background, so he got James Raiz to draw that bit. (True story.) I agree that Pat Lee is an abysmal draughtsman - his robots are awful and he can't draw anything else either, so he would just fill pages with robots regardless of perspective issues, or if he actually needed a background he just got someone else to draw it. And then didn't pay them for it. Or, in Alex Milne's case, Pat drew absolutely nothing, got Alex to draw entire comic books for him, wrote 'Pat Lee' on them, and then also didn't give Alex the money for it.

Pat Lee's only talent is being a )!@*head.

From Kmart Bondi Junction:

Thursday night I picked up the ark playset
--SNIP--


Very nice. How big is it? I haven't seen one in person - any chance of a size comparison pic with a deluxe figure or something? :)

[swoop]

Sky shadow asked me to do a review so hopefully I'll get the time to do it tomorrow morning before I head out and I'll do a size comparison then

[GoktimusPrime]

Where did you find it??

[swoop]

At toy world in epping plaza

Picked up a fair bit from today's Parra Fair - some of the purchases I'm still questioning and have buyer's remorse, some I'm quite happy and content with. :o

Man... you cleaned up!!!

After seeing the actual size of Energon Omega Supreme at liege's place- I'm tempted to seek it out. That MISB Superlink OS is so sweet! :D

(Also picked up Universe Blades for you from kristofferer)

Cheers for grabbing the Universe Blades off kristofferer for me - just hang onto it since it's only a loose duplicate so I'm in no hurry for it at all.

As for my haul, yeah some of it I'm still questioning - like the Galaxy Force ones which in hindsight don't make any sense to me as to why I purchased them (as I have both loose and MISB Hasbro Cybertron equivalents already).

I guess those guys at that stall know that I'm a sucker for MISB Jap releases so they kept throwing package deal prices at me that I couldn't refuse. :o

OS will remain MISB as I don't have another one, but I'm tempted to go find a cheap loose Hasbro one to buy so I can have a fiddle with it since the transformation/separation intrigues me.

And yes, he's quite large and imposing! Bigger than Primus and roughly the same size as Unicron - he certainly looks very impressive on display.

[GoktimusPrime]

My haul for today. :)

:)Thanks to Pretty boy Valk I now have a Metrodash to go with my Metrotitan and he picked it up for me at a very cheap $35.00 compared to what I thought the damage would be:D. Also got G1 Scourge, Book Soundwave and 2 Landcross guys, don't know their names:o. Thanks to DD for selling me Soundblaster book version earlier in the month as well:)

[Sky Shadow]

The larger lego set had a pre-determined destiny:

The fish exploration HQ is awesome - I'm envisaging them transforming it and driving off in their new submarine.

And re: Nut Convoy - I don't know if you've tried it, but there's a way to make his missile launcher potentially more useful in robot mode (à la G1 Megatron) - Vector Prime displays it in this post:

Thanks, Skyshadow.

Finally got less lazy when I got home, so I took a photo (this one I took a while ago, just finally uploaded it lol)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v502/1AZRAEL1/SANY1847.jpg

Most came from the Hornsby Fair from various people.

Then I got this lot from Parra Fair. Wreck Gar is just there for aesthetic value to ride Scrapheap. Mostructor is now complete to stand, got foot and waist. Springer holding his newly acquired sword (though he needs a little blue pill to keep it upright :p) Cliff is from Blink90210

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v502/1AZRAEL1/SANY2020.jpg

The new head for Kup makes him look even better, big difference in heads. Hip joints on Cyclonus are week as, but stands fine.

I never realised it, but with my Universe Galvatron, I had his knees transformed wrong. Wasn't until I got this one that I realised it :o

No great photography skills, maybe when I get the time this weekend, I will take some better photos for the action pose thread.

Might also add though that when I opened him up, the thumb on one hand was missing and don't know where it is :( oh well can't complain as I am only using it to display in Jetfire Prime mode

[dirge]

I gotta say dude, it's easily one of the coolest Fish Tank displays I've ever seen, well done. ;):cool:

Glad you like it as it was a b**** to set up.

Lego itself doesn't float, but assembling a lego set like that in an existing aquarium is not really feasible, so I had to place the assembled model into the tank, complete with air inside a lot of the bricks.

The base is half buried under the gravel, but the top part (the actual workstation bit) is meant to rest on the base using gravity. So it floats - I've had to wedge it underneath the (top mounted) filter box. Which took a long time to do, as Lego tends to unclip very easily in water. It works well enough, but if it moves I'll have to carefully place it again.

Thankfully they're a fairly friendly & calm group of fish, who didn't so much mind my hands placing everything!

heretic, good luck with Warpath ;)

[LambOfPrimus]

My latest stash of plastic goodness acquired today.

First off, G1 Soundwave thanks to Blink90210.

I'm really happy with the costco giftset I got it for a really good price. I probably over paid for classics devastator but if fansproject does release a cross fire set for devastator in green I expect this sets value to skyrocket so I figured I better grab one while its still relatively easy to get a hold of

Did you get taxed at customs for that amount of toys? :)

Thanks, HD!
Did you get taxed at customs for that amount of toys? :)

Good point. Your question got me worried for a moment, but I did remember the HK does not tax people on such things.

Toys are not dutiable commodities.

From the HK government website:

“HKSAR is a free port and does not levy any Customs tariff on imports and exports. Excise duties are levied only on four types of dutiable commodities, namely:

Liquor
Tobacco
Hydrocarbon Oil
Methyl Alcohol”

Bringing in Megatron in gun mode also does not appear to be an issue - http://www.customs.gov.hk/en/trade_facilitation/prohibited_articles/imports/index.html

One of the many reasons I love this place. They don't try to fleece you blind and yet the country turns a surplus of $75 billion last year. :p

Looks like there was more in Osaka that you wanted than i thought!
I don't remember seeing half of that stuff around, did you find some more good places?

I'm still in Japan at the moment but my hauling is done, excepting a Revoltech Ironman coming at the end of the month.
It never looks as impressive following a HD post though, so i'm listing it all out to begin with!

*snip list*

Wow, kurdt, impressive list! Very impressive indeed. What's the blue Valkyrie? It looks a Macross Plus VF-21 (but I am way out of date for Macross). Looks good.

Kurdt, thanks again for the information you provided to me. I know I have yet to officially says thanks and to acknowledge the immense help your information was to me. I will do so in a proper post later and on my blog-site. :D

There are actually only a few places that really has G1 in Osaka and you mentioned most of them:
1. Hero Gangu
2. G-One Super Position Capsule
3. Entertainment Jungle
4. Mandarake Shisaibanshi (ie: Grand Chaos)
5. Mandarake Umeda (near Sega World and Nep Navio).

I think the one your didn't mention was Entertainment Jungle which is next to the 7-11 next to Hotel Hillarys (ie: across the road from G-One Super Position). They have lots of G1, but some not cheap.

BTW, Hotel Hillarys is in the most awesome location, it's right in the center of shops (1) to (3) and just 1 mins walk from each. Highly recommend.


Nice, HD - customs tax exempt HK :D

Heh. It's good eh. I understand (but don't quote me) that Singapore is tax exempt up to SGD$10K too. So unless one buys $10,000 or more worth of TFs, there still isn't much to worry about. :p

You see, now I understand just how much of a constraint you were under whilst living here in Aus when trying to collect. :(

[rampagesss]

Lots of Movie toys talk, not enough G1... heh.

These are my hauls from Osaka. Not going to list them at the moment, going to subject you guys to an eye test to pick out the goodies... :D

picked up DOTM Roadbuster, Crankcase and Sentinel Prime today.

Pretty much got halfway through turning Sentinel into a firetruck and gave up. God knows how the hell he turns into a truck, even with instructions.

What's the blue Valkyrie? It looks a Macross Plus VF-21 (but I am way out of date for Macross). Looks good.

It's a VF-22S from Macross 7... based on the YF-21 from Macross Plus.
It is indeed very good, but the red one below is better!

ARG! I saw that place and asked my wife what their sign said they had - she said it only had naughty girls figures :rolleyes: Whether their sign was a bit wrong, or my wife was a bit exhausted... i'm not sure! Strangely enough, i was flicking through the latest Hobby Japan today and noticed an advert where they promintently featured some G1 toys... so I had a go at my wife and will wait patiently for next time :D

IMO $200 is to much, I've been watching and bidding on these sets since febuary and I've seen misb set go for as low as $75 us but no higher than $160 us. But if fansproject does release a add on set for it I'd snap it up at 200 before the price goes up

Think it was toywiz or toyarena but checked again and it's no longer there. So someone may have bought it for $200.

...and that's all you'll need rampagesss, the rest of the CDMW Dev upgrade is not necessary. The legs alone works a treat and improves the G1 Dev well enough. Adding more like the fist, head etc will cheapen the look of the figure.

You should. It's a fairly chunky book (about 394 pages) and the average price is around $12 to $15 depending on where you go. The logo and movie title are embossed, giving something of a "3D" feel. ;)

Thanks Hursty! :)

To be honest, I'm not sure how close I am to completing Cybertron/Galaxy Force MISB/MOSC. :confused:

I think I probably do have them all if I combined all the MISB/MOSC ones with the loose ones across both the Hasbro Cybertron and Takara Galaxy Force releases (but definitely not close for the entire line MISB/MOSC)

May try and pull them out of storage next chance I get and do a count. :o

[Hursticon]

May try and pull them out of storage next chance I get and do a count. :o

That may be worth it seeming as though I think that the next annual member's personal collection count is not too far away - Goki could probably clarify that I think. :)
Certainly a massive effort you've made dude, those figures will just be happy that someone likes them enough to own them. :p

[Vector Prime]

That may be worth it seeming as though I think that the next annual member's personal collection count is not too far away

Yeah but I think they use the universal counting method - my numbers are over inflated since I own multiples of most of the stuff in my collection.

For example, I have the following:
1 x MOSC Generations WFC Prime
1 x Loose Generations WFC Prime
3 x MOSC United WFC Prime
1 x Loose United WFC Prime

By my count, that's 6 figures, but by the UCM, I think it's 1, maybe 2 figures at most (1 since it's the same mold, 2 since they're separate releases - Hasbro and TakTomy - can't remember how they count it) :(

That's true as that is what the UCM requires, but there is nothing stopping one from adding up all the 'plastic objects' one owns. ;)

[Sky Shadow]

As much as I think counting Transformers is daft enough without there being an 'official' way, according to this Counting Method:


* ARTICLE 10: Multiples count. e.g.:
- 2 Seasprays = 2 Transformers.

So Vector Prime, you do have six Transformers there. Congratulations!

[GoktimusPrime]

The counting of multiples is the one article in the Universal Counting Method that I find most objectionable and just don't like it. As Vector Prime says, it kinda "artificially inflates" one's collection count. But anyway, the majority of people voted for multiples to count... so they count. That's democracy for you. I used to keep two collection counts - one was the Substitution Rationale method, similar to the UCM but multiples and variants don't count. I can't be bothered keeping track of my collection count under two different counting methods anymore, so I just use the UCM.

[JuzMel]

Some of my May stuff, pretty happy to be able to get some more TF love:

My first DOTM figure thanks to the TRU sale. Took quite a few button presses and quality paint checks before I was able to find a good one. Also this was one of the rare ones that the mouth actually moves quite a bit.

[theheretic]

Just got the car services and on the drive home I blacked out or something because some how I ended up in the checkout at target with Transformers Vault, DOTM voyager ironhide, megaton and optimus

this is simply something i never understood the argument of to begin with and why i voted multiples count... as we are counting a collection not the number of characters or moulds and it doesnt really artificially inflate you numbers... i like to have multiples of my g1 i have three blitzwings... there are three toys, 3, not 1.....

this is the reason i do not even count my collection it seems way to complicated and if you ask me how many i have i wil say lots. hehe or maybe lots and lots.....

Well, at the end of the day, the majority of voters agreed with you ... so multiples count. And so I count them too, irrespective of my personal opinions. :)

Anyway, I picked up Commander Class Sentinel Prime from Target today, and remembered to ask for a Collector's Card. The store clerk had no idea what I was talking about and had to refer to the catalogue - then call the manager, who also had no idea -- despite the fact that near the entrance of the store is a MASSIVE display of DotM toys advertising the Collectors Card campaign! So I had to wait ages for a staff member from toys to come down and give me my card. (-_-) I got a free plastic shopping bag for my troubles though. :o

Collectors card ehhh. I might have to check this out.

Hursticon, great toys, I never managed to score the RID Galvy, had a chance one day when he was still on the shelves but I thing I was too poor at the time :(

Cheers Jetfire, :)

That's unfortunate dude, but I have to agree with you in that after having mucked around with the pair this afternoon and getting Megatron into each of his modes, this mold really is quite cool. :D:cool:
I'm unfortunately not that big of a fan of the RiD and Unicron Trilogy eras, but I do like to make exceptions for figures/molds that earn my respect and hence; RiD Megs & Galvy join the ranks of Cybertron Primus, Energon Omega Supreme, Armada Tidalwave and Unicron, but also Animated Waspinator and Blackarachnia. :p:)
(Oh yeah, can't forget the Minicons either! :D)

@ Hursticon, Ive only got RiD Galvatro so I dont know what differences does he have (aside form the color) from RiD Megatron, I was told Galvy has extra transformations that Megs cant do.... which are these? and can you post why he (Megs) can't? does he have a peg or screw missing that Galvy has in his mold? Quite curious. Cheers.

Hey dude, I think a number of your questions could be answered here (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=11114&page=6), but asides from paint the Hasbro versions of both RiD Megatron and Galvatron are exactly identical as both share the Galvatron/Devil Gigatron additional peg - hence, Hasbro RiD Megatron is capable of all the additional modes of transformation. ;):)

I do intend to take some pictures at some point, stupid overcast and/or torrential rainy weather! :(, but would you like me to get you a shot of that specific peg? :)

Just ordered voyager shockwave and skyhammer for $35 total from fishpond.com. It's gotta have been a mistake because that's basically half price. If anyone is interested I'd order them quick while the last

[Bumbleb33]

Generations Kup and DOTM Sandstorm
Took theheretic's advice and ordered a set of Shockie and Skyhammer as well from fishpond :D
Just waiting on my DOTM Skids and TRON Quorra to arrive :P

Dude your a legend! I also just ordered Skyhammer what a bargain, I'm actually kicking myself for paying $30 for Shockwave on Amazon now lol.

Nice!
I've still yet to pick one of those up, so pretty envious Klystron. :D

What did you mean dude? - The Beast Wars TPB that Klystron got? :confused:
(If so, that is natively in English ;))

I love how there's so many posts of "I've just ordered such and such" :p

I thought this was the acquisitions thread? By definition, does that not mean that you have actually acquired the item (i.e. it's in your possession?) :confused:

(Call me a hater if you want, I don't care :cool:)

I understand that. I only posted it here incase someone missed the thread I started. So basically I was letting people know in two areas because it was such a good price :-)

It wasn't directed intentionally at you (thanks for the heads up btw) - I was merely mentioning something that's been increasingly happening a fair bit lately.
