Picked up from Castle Hill TRU - Transcan Deluxe Ironhide
I love this deco, hopefully they continue this for more figures. I like this concept.

My first Deluxe DOTM figure :)

Now where's my Dino figure? :D:p

GoktimusPrime
1st July 2011, 02:32 PM
I'm not a huge fan of transcanning figures, but to each their own. ;) Technically speaking I must admit that the transcan decos are very nicely done though. The paint apps on Transcan Sideswipe kick the crap out of the regular one!

Autobot Ark from Big W - its okay.

1st July 2011, 04:39 PM
My Toy Sale haul !

Deluxe Scream, Voyager Shockwave, Leader Ironhide, The Ark, Supreme Jetwing Prime and of course a bit of Lego.

Picked all these guys up from Big W, minus the Lego shuttle which found its way home from Kmart. There is definitely a hole in my wallet, but alas I am very pleased with my grab. I would have loved to find a skyhammer but with only one shockwave there, I'm not complaining. It was a tough decision on jetwing but with my two mates grabbing one each I easily caved to peer pressure :o

What size is the jetwing prime? Voyager? Leader? Or in-between?

He is leader size. He is stated as being supreme class, but that would be due to his extra gear.

Ooh wow, that's cool! I used to have 2 S.T.A.R.S. bases (1 for my Autobots, 1 for Decepticons ;)), but unfortunately I've since lost them. :(

Still managed to take a photo of one of them back in '99 ;)

Here's the opened TF Mini Library book. Pretty kiddy, probably something to keep for the kids in future haha. But still at $4.95, I'm not complaining. :p Inside there's a short story of each of the characters.

Wanted this for ages. Never thought I'd see one. Came in the post today :D

omg, scan it! :D Seriously though, that's very cool.

I was only going to Big W to get the 3 pack for Rodimus, and some none TFs because I'm over movie toys, but it turns out I have a weakness for little Bees and ended up adding to my layby 2 legion Bumblebees and his cyberverse playset. :/ y u so cute?

Also, someone had punched in the cab windows of the cardboard Optimus truck display at Mt Ommaney. :rolleyes:

Had to get this after seeing similar ships in the movie, and the Starscream is in better colouring compared to the upcoming Wave 3 Legion release.
As for the actual item - its rather meh. But I see it does connect to the Ark ..

My final self-sent parcel arrived today, which contained my Billy (JP Buzzer-Bot) and reissue Seacons! Woo! Now that I've added them to my TF spreadsheet, it actually pushes my collection count over the 1500 mark -- although technically I purchased these toys when I was overseas in April... so I guess it means really my 1500th Transformer would've been something I purchased; one of the Transformers I purchased during the Big W toy sale -- which I bought on the same day so... erm... I'm just gonna claim Jetwing OP as my 1500th TF. :)

Razorbeast - the coolest maximal (that doesn't have Convoy in his name), along with the treacherous and slightly insane Tarantulas.

Razorbeast has long been a favourite of mine (how could anyone not like him after the Gathering?) and this one replaces my slightly pre-loved, partially-disabled auto-transform-feature, current Razorbeast figure which I picked up from a Nexus Toy Fair for a couple of bucks.

Very jealous Kaiden of your tech spec cards.

im jelly for your jetwing prime which also has a tech spec card. i wish hasbro would keep tech spec cards as it would be in english and cheaper than importing the takara versions.

I wish Hasbro would bother to put effort to writing decent tech specs bios! (-_-) This morning I filed my Hasbro reissue Seacon tech spec cards into protective sleeves... and they're actually narrower than the standard size of a collectable card ("baseball card"). Takara(TOMY)'s tech spec cards are all the same universal collectable card size... I wish Hasbro would also adhere to this size. Even their BotCon tech specs don't conform to this size. :( I've translated Jetwing Prime's tech specs into English -- posted it on the Jetwing Prime review thread. :)

Anyway, picked up PCC Heavytread today.

I picked up the commander-sized Sentinel Prime today. used a $5 voucher for doing an online survey and TRU's current sale to get him for less than $10. Alas he's too big to fit into the Ark's cockpit :(... but he's already had a run in with my son's legends Ironhide :p

A package of junkers via ebay arrived today too. Included was an animated Lockdown with a broken hand I picked up for 99cents... fixed it within five minutes :D

My first G1 since around maybe 2005 or 2006

http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i128/sajica_2006/TF%20Collection/IMG_1370.jpg

I already have one with his targetmaster but grabbed this one because it looks like it's in better nick then my current one.

And now that the G1 drought is over there's quite a few more on the way. :rolleyes:

Like a G1, like a G1 not a G6 ;)

Wow! That's really good. It's so rare to find this toy in decent condition.



Holy cow! :eek::eek::eek:
Those are some freakin' cool acquisitions man and so horribly rare too - Congratulations dude! :D:cool:



Wow man for those prices, which are quite annoyingly good :p, that is a sweet pair of pickups! :eek::cool:



I love my MP-04 Prime, so it's awesome news to hear of another being able to experince the joy of owning him. ;):cool:



Nice find man, having them complete would be SO cool - very envious indeed as I need both teams entirely. :cool:



Sir... this is the coolest thing I've heard about Movie Sideswipe - Pics or it didn't happen! :p:D


...

Here are my acquisitions obtained between 29/06 & 08/07:

G1, Actionmaster Soundwave's partner - Wing-Thing
Beast Wars II, Maximal Leader - Lio Convoy
Beast Wars II, Predacon Leader - Galvatron
DOTM, Cyberverse Playset - The Ark w/ Autobot Roller
DOTM, Cyberverse Commander - Optimus Prime
DOTM, Cyberverse Commander - Megatron
DOTM, Voyager Class - Shockwave
DOTM, Voyager Class - 'Poncho' Megatron




Wow! Hursty! Congrats on your massive Pile of loot and special congratulations on Lio Convoy.

Thanks Kup, he is definitely a cool 'Prime' that's for sure. :D

A harsh ruling but I honestly can't think of a better place for him to reside, such a cool figure! ;):cool:

My younger brother is really into the Dreads at the moment and is eagerly anticipating the release of a Deluxe Crowbar, I wonder if his Alt mode will be that of a Van/SUV or a Squad car? :)

Thank you very much HD, whilst they're certainly not the best I do enjoy and take pride in my attempt at figure photography. :D

Man, Lio Convoy is a popular bloke it seems. :p

He's a cool figure and I'm really glad to finally own him, but I actually find BWII Galvatron to be the more fun toy as his various modes are better thought out and you can really see that the engineers put quite a bit of effort into armaging G1 Galvatron. :cool:

Lio Convoy has some exquisite proportions though, even considering the lack of length to his forelimbs in Alt mode but my main gripe with the figure is his main getting in the way in Bot mode as well as his arms and shoulder assembly not really firmly affixing anywhere. :o

Both are great figures though and I look forward to adding some more Japanese Beast Wars figures to the ranks. :D

Man, Lio Convoy is a popular bloke it seems. :p
Lio Convoy was the first Transformer toy ever to have a Matrix! That made him incredibly cool to me! :D He was also the first Beast Wars Convoy/Optimus figure to come with a torso that resembles G1 Optimus Prime -- other toys have had faux-truck torsos before (i.e. PM Optimus Prime/Ginrai, G2 Hero Prime, G2 Laser Prime) - but Lio Convoy was the first to have this feature even though he isn't Optimus Prime and doesn't transform into a truck. And did I mention he has a Matrix? ;)

Sure, the Matrix is non-removable, but the fact that he HAD one just made him all kinds of sexy. :) Then of course Takara upped the ante with Big Convoy in the next year who featured a gooderer faux-truck-torso and had a removable Matrix that he could wield! :eek:

Also, I like how your Lio Convoy and Galvatron look so minty fresh - whereas mine definitely show signs of being well loved in the past 13 years. ;)


He's a cool figure and I'm really glad to finally own him, but I actually find BWII Galvatron to be the more fun toy as his various modes are better thought out and you can really see that the engineers put quite a bit of effort into armaging G1 Galvatron. :cool:
His vehicle mode is also... giggity! :cool: *ahem*

I agree that Galvatron is the better of the two Beast Wars Second leaders, but arguably he's a less ambitious toy because his alt modes are fantasy modes and not based on reality, whereas Lio Convoy transforms into a lion. Sure, not many real life lions may have Kimba-esque white fur and a golden mane - but the beast mode sculpt itself is based on a lion. Then Lio Convoy has the additional constraints of having a faux truck chest too. The Lio Convoy mould was probably too ambitious in that regard. Arguably Big Convoy too. I find all the Optimus Primal toys to be more satisfying to play with that Lio Convoy and Big Convoy - and I think a large part of that is because the engineering didn't need to incorporate a faux truck chest.

I'm also not fond of the gnashing teeth sculpted on Galvatron's face, but to be fair, a LOT of the Beast Wars leaders had this (Ultra Megatron, TM Megatron, TM2 Megatron, Magmatron etc.). The Galvamatrix in his chest (that marble thing) was also an interesting touch. ;)


Lio Convoy has some exquisite proportions though, even considering the lack of length to his forelimbs in Alt mode but my main gripe with the figure is his main getting in the way in Bot mode as well as his arms and shoulder assembly not really firmly affixing anywhere. :o

I agree, although a bigger gripe I have with the toy is how the torso doesn't lock in very securely or tightly and has a tendency to fall open during play. :(

I never knew he was meant to be called Bruticus. In fact, I had no idea who you were talking about either. All I knew was that you were talking about some PCC 5-pack figure which you paid $5 for... which is a great deal, but a lot of other people have been critical of these toys because they normally retail for $40. Doesn't really matter which PCC Commander you're talking about, none of them are really worth the full RRP IMHO.

Bombshock's one of the better PCC 5 packs, shall we say, acceptable, if you ever bought the plane ones (Autobot) you'd see why a lot of people are dissapointed, the limbs should add to the play value but at times it just gets in the way and feels like it wasnt thought off properly - improper execution, dont balance well, doesnt look like a proper limb - those are some of the gripes about the PCC 5 packs.

I got Fansproject Explorer and Munitioner today. They are awesome. I have had a Bruticus sitting around boxed waiting for me to finally get these guys.

The payoff of the combined Bruticus is outstanding. I really like the Onslaught alt mode with all the new add ons. I am now going to buy Warcry and Flameblast to play around with instead of pulling off the limbs of Bruticus.

I just hope the Insecticons are going to be just as good, so far the pics point to them being great. And I hope Crossfire 03 is going to be the Stunticons as rumoured/wished for because I can only imagine how good they will look.

If it wasn't for Hasbro still continuing with Classics I would only be buying Fansproject toys.....

I don't usually post anything here, but figured my biggest ever acquisition might amuse people....

The Calamvale BigW were kind enough to let me have their display, and it arrived today (had to borrow a trailer and friend to help me).

I only found out this morning that it was only a one-part trailer display at this particular BigW (because it is a smaller store), but it is probably better this way, as it can leave me with enough floor space for the table I have in there (which is to the left, behind the shelving).

http://www.toycollectors.com.au/bwtruck1.jpg

Since each part is the width of a pallet, I had to disassemble them to get them into the house, and then reassemble them. I still have to fix up a few parts and reinforce it with tape on areas that are load-bearing. I also need to rig up something for them to sit on, because they are designed to be on wooden pallets, which is why the skirting on the trailer part is covering up part of the bottom shelves.
Once that is all done, I'll have all the TF3 toys in it, and on it, and maybe later, I'll look at creating a third (central) cardboard section to hold/hide empty toy boxes and stuff which would make the trailer section look longer.

I only found out this morning that it was only a one-part trailer display at this particular BigW (because it is a smaller store), but it is probably better this way, as it can leave me with enough floor space for the table I have in there (which is to the left, behind the shelving).

http://www.toycollectors.com.au/bwtruck1.jpg

Since each part is the width of a pallet, I had to disassemble them to get them into the house, and then reassemble them. I still have to fix up a few parts and reinforce it with tape on areas that are load-bearing. I also need to rig up something for them to sit on, because they are designed to be on wooden pallets, which is why the skirting on the trailer part is covering up part of the bottom shelves.
Once that is all done, I'll have all the TF3 toys in it, and on it, and maybe later, I'll look at creating a third (central) cardboard section to hold/hide empty toy boxes and stuff which would make the trailer section look longer.

:eek: Thats awesome! will look great when its full of toys :D

This week I have picked up

RTS Grappel (my fourth... three have been for custom jobs)
DOTM commander Blackout
RTS Strafe (his rub sign refused to work until I held him near the oven while I was cooking tea. his wings are kind of a giveaway about his allegiance)
HFTD Tomahawk (going to try make my own Vortex. I dont like the head on the DOTM version)
HFTD Axor (I must be one of the few who like his colours)
PCC Leadfoot
and another Botcon Autotrooper

and I also swapped a bunch of superhero figures with my six-year-old son for his busted animated Sentinel Prime (for a ... wait for it.... custom job)

my local big W told me they'll return it to the supplier :(

One of the stores said that to me, but the other stores were destroying them in their cardboard compactors...
I cant imagine Hasbro would want them back either, because they wouldn't be in a good enough condition to re-issue to other stores, and they have 'BigW' all over them (not stickers either - actually part of the printed exterior image), so no other chain would want to use them.

I think that store might have just said that, to avoid any begging from an interested person if they said it was to be destroyed.

I worked for target in the toy department about 4 - 5 years ago now and this is true and display items would just be crushed in the cardboard compactor out the back. They never asked for any displays back, We had a cool Playmobile display diorama in a plastic display case that when it was over we put in the bin out the back.
But a lot of the time the posters and displays would just go to the staff there, a mate of mine has all the display items from the first movie, posters cut out etc.

i bought topspin and jolt today from target as well but went to TRU and grabbed a bumblebee and ratchet ($19ea) and took those back to target and got a refund.

normally i wouldnt have done this but when i asked a staff member what their price matching policy was (they don't anymore) the guy gave me a rude response and it just pissed me off so much.

You should have seen his eyes bug out when he unwrapped Lugnut. His only sighting of him had been on the blink-and-you-miss-it on Target shelves and he thought it was gone for good. For about a month I had to sit on the fact that the local Toyworld had it marked down to half-price. It was worth it.

His legs were pretty loose so I got the old jeweler screw driver out and tightened those bad buys up. Now he can pose any which way I want :)
