Wow! Must be nice to be rich! Lol. Can I ask how much you paid for the scanning series Sideswipe at TRU? They have put their prices up to $29.99 over here. Grrrrr

lol... far from rich, just hadn't bought any new stuff & i waited to get them on sale. ( mrs janda says no more toys for a month... :p lol )

i got quite a few from toys r us and they price matched big w.... at $19.67
and the exclusive 2 from kmart were $15.95 ea

i can grab a sideswipe for you... but postage will probably kill what you'd save. lmk if i can help you out

It is huge. I'm not sure if it is worth the $80 because the transformation is very simple but if TFC can manage to release the rest then Hercules is going to be massive combined

cool, when you can post some pics that would be great. where did you get it for $80? a comparison pick next to something else would be good to get an idea of scale. I'm assuming your in for the Long Haul and planning on Hooking up the whole 6? I'm really excited by this but I can't really justify the $600-$700 it's going to cost with postage, for essentially 1 big figure. if they were $50 each I think I would find it easier to do. I wish Hasbro could produce something along these lines.

there is the Paperclip icon at the top of the reply box, click on that, upload pictures and then select the picture you want to thumbnail.


I got my iGear cup head in the post today. attached it tonight, I like it, pics later.

Awesome man, I used to have a Red Autobot car, named Cliffjumper. But he died in the great battle of Rearendus Uteus. Now I have a black Decepticon car, a rounder Crowbar if you will. If you ever drive down to Adelaide we may cross paths and engage in an epic car-chase!

Btw, got a TakTom Primus coming to me very soon, a couple of days.

Hey Rob, can you tell me about the Megatron in the pic with Hurricane? Is it a pvc and is it from a particular line or promotion in Animated?
I thought it looked like the activator but I can't tell from the photo. :o
Which reminds me, I used to nick Hurricane off my brother all the time, he just ended up giving it to me eventually. :D I can't resist a robot with a pink cravat!

Here is a crappy pic that I posted in the 3rd part section;

http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj221/TheFallenTonyStone/P1010553.jpg

I will try to take some more pics today. I only have a crappy camera at the moment, I will have a better one in a week or so (currently in transit).

I got it from RK so it was $90, not $80, that was a typo.

I will probably get the whole 6 providing they all see the light of day.

My exgraver was $80 shipped from robot kingdom.... I got 4 PE sets as well when I placed my order so shipping cost was divided by the 5 items, so exgraver+1/5th shipping was $80.45 after currency conversion and that's with paypals conversion rates which were still 3cents off)

Ordering longhaul
today, I got a few things in mind to work out a better shipping average but I've never actually pre-ordered from RK before, just in stock gear. So what happens when I place a mixed order? Separate shipping or wait till it's all instock?

http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lpcj9rg9Bz1qbguy1o1_500.jpg

A little disappointed. I thought it was going to be the same size as the first two Premier Hardcovers. But this is just regular size, only slightly bigger than a softcover trade, but with a lot of pages.

Oh well. I also got Fortress Maximus today. That's big enough to make up for it. ;) It was too big to bring home tonight though.

They always wait till the last bit is in stock and ship it together. If you want separate shipping, make two orders.

I love that cover so much. I asked Trevor if he was going to release a desktop image of it like the Prime (which I currently use (http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_loyuhtIM661qazoo2.png)). He didn't reply :(

I might try and get a loose God Neptune so I can keep 1 in box on permanent display and the other combined. I'd love to do that with the TFCC one but don't really want to pay ebay prices for him. Next on the hunt is a Giftset Piranacon (either Jap or US)

Today I received my Botcon 2007 Box :)

http://kupscigar.com/2011/060811.JPG

I had the loose Botcon'07 set for 4 years now but for some reason I always wanted the box. With the high AU$ and an opportunistic relatively inexpensive ebay auction, I went for it.

It came with the pin and comic. Now it feels like my Botcon 2007 collection is truly complete ;)

I will probably keep the Botcon seekers in the box for safe keeping and display the recently released Hasbro ones.

Wowsers, there's some great acquisitions this month, the Botcon box is very pretty and the Voltron cleaned up beautifully-so many wheels!

From Sideswipes Bro I got the following in the mail this morning:

http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/l541/UltraMarginal/UltraMarginals%20phone%20pics/2011-08-08174106.jpg

Including my original ThunderCracker, and My sisters hand-balled Starscream I now own all three of the original seekers!!
really nice condition, did the tape encores get re-designed? they seem so ratchety and well built. everything clicks into place perfectly.

Saved my sanity on the drive this morning. took 2 hours and 20 minutes to do a normally 40 minute drive due to an accident. I had enough time to transform all of the tapes from tape to robot and back again.

now all I have to do is decide which one is Fumble and which one is Renzy?:D

From BBTS via JayDisc, the Tomy Takara Voyager DOTM Optimus with trailer. Notwithstanding the bulk order, cost was $111. Compare this to $120 for Ultimate Optimus Prime from Target. It looks great and its exclusive!

Last weekend, there was a Diecast Model Expo at the Gold Coast for which I was a volunteer at the event.

Here is some purchase I got from the infamous Geoff Sheriff from Sydney. I didnt know that he bought/sold Transformers. I am feeling that I paid too much, at $30 :confused:

Here is a Kabaya TF of Optimus Prime -

Finally Incinerator from Zippo across the ditch. Zippo was kind enough to bring during his trip here. Finally an impulse buy Onslaught Toyworld for $40 -

i left my girlfriend in charge of winning that Soundwave cassette player for me (im assuming its the same one) because i was actually at work and couldnt bid, she lost, mini domestic ensued and i dont think ill get over the hurt.

I had one as a kid and i remember listening to the Ninja Turtles movie soundtrack on it, i still have the clear plastic from its chest at home. No idea what happened to the rest of it.

Most of this gear was payed for with my Nexus toyfair earnings and whilst alot of it was ordered in july all of it arrived in august.... Im off work today and supposed to be packing everything up and getting the house ready for painting but todays surprise arrival(botcon clench, Stronghold, Jazz, Wreckgars) has made me want to play with my toys!

I went PE crazy recently and ordered all their gear(except godswords) in 2 orders on Robot Kingdom, the first shipped with exgraver and the second half is waiting on Heavylabour.

I dont think pics do Ex justice... hes way better in hand than even the most fancy camera and lightbox pics can make him look.

http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo170/mindtaker27/P8190584.jpg

Next lot are all off TFW2005's b/s/t forum... back when the Aus $ was at 1.10 I caught up on some stray gear Id been meaning to get.

It's been a good month and some of the items that I purchased close to the end of last month are coming through. Over Friday and today:

Rodimus Major - been thinking for a while that I ought to get hot rod in some form or other and this reissue is great, metal feet and all!

TFC 14 Hound - I got G1 Hound a few years back, but not in his box which is not cool for a MIB collector like me. I really like this edition and the package kicks tail!

eHobby Gold Jazz - I've only really started looking at these reissues this year but I'm really taken with them. Jazz was always a fave and he looks extra cool in his all gold suit.

Chop Shop - Really never thought I'd get even one of the Deluxes. Don't know if they were even released in Oz back in the 80's (Does anyone know if they were?) He's a little dinged, but nothing broken, only a couple of paint flakes off complete.

Korean Galaxy Force Vector Prime (which I think is the same paint scheme as the Japanese one).
Anyway, Botch was right -- cool figure.

(hmmm, thats a pretty ordinary pic :o)

I had heard reports of some bad figures - misaligned pins, sloppy paint apps, bent spoilers - but mine seems to have come with no or minimal defects. The instruction sheet was bent (but not the tech card), which I can live with.

It's not the best of my pics but I'm too tired to do another.

Wow, well done!! Instant big collection!:D:D

For uploading pics, you might wanna use a hosting site like Photobucket. Create and account (it's free anyways :D)Upload your pics in the album you create there and when you wanna post it here just copy paste the image link that they provide for each photo you upload. hope that helps

Yea he sent me some WIP photos and they were all awesome then the final picture showed the horns and wings and i thought oh well i can make them better but could never paint it as good as he has

It cost me $70US which at the time was around $60ish AUS but that includes the Mighty Mugg and postage to Australia so to me it was well worth it heres his site so you can see his other work, Tigra has to be one of my favorites

Last Stand of the Wreckers TPB from my local Target. Combined with my other comic purchase (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showpost.php?p=261158&postcount=140), I have spent a whopping $9 on Transformers this month. I better slow down...

I went up to townsville for my sisters 30th this last weekend, there I picked up the box I got her to bring back to Australia for me... from Botcon because I couldn't travel with it.

see below, the polycarbonate sheeting that I took over, it's out of my custom made drum cases. helps keep your transformers/drums bullet proof.

http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/l541/UltraMarginal/UltraMarginals%20phone%20pics/2011-08-29221415.jpg

All the stuff that was in the box
http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/l541/UltraMarginal/UltraMarginals%20phone%20pics/2011-08-29222035.jpg

It is soo hard not buying things like skyhammer when you know you already have it, but just can't access it.

and all the stuff I jammed into the space inside the skylynx box
http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/l541/UltraMarginal/UltraMarginals%20phone%20pics/2011-08-29222544.jpg
Nuthing up my sleeve!

on top of all the above, I have picked up animated ratchet and oilslick off eBay
G1 Blaster with gun off eBay in pretty good shape. and a fairly good price since a guy at Botcon was asking for $45 for just the gun!!:eek::eek: it was still there at the end of the weekend.

a cheap airbrush set for my future customizing work.

Animated Leader Megatron from KillinSpoon
Animated Swindle a clutch of 3 from Paulbot one to keep, one to customise and one as a backup.

I see you have Bruticus mistransformed too.. I had mine like that for years without knowing.
If you move Onslaughts arms so that his hands are pointing behind him. It makes him look less "solid" and raises his shoulders up a bit (also the "correct" way to transform him) Like I said it wasn't until recently I found that out :o

Fluro Bruticus..... The humanity.....
