Saw Cyberverse Playsets at Kmart discounted to $13.75 each - making them cheaper than even Commander Class figures on their own w/o the Playsets! So I picked up Megatron. :)

Technically October acquisitions though they arrived today. I also got a DLX ROTF Breakaway not pictured, though he is to re-gifted. Can't wait to receive my HA Barricade and 2x DOTM Crankcases which are enroute :D

[snaketales]

For my birthday I received a Decepticon badge for my car and a wallet embossed with 'Transformers Armada'.

Then I went and bought for myself DOTM Jolt and two Crankcases (one of which I will call Crowbar) from TRU for $16 each.

And today DOTM Space Case arrived in the mail.

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

The Encore Metroplex I had my eye on was gone today, so I settled for a Hasbro reissue TM Rattrap for ~¥750 instead.

[KillinSpoon]

Received Universe 2.0 Ratchet from Zippo.

It's MISB (and very very pristine) and I don't really feel like opening it. Any MISB collectors out there who need one and have one opened they could swap/chuck in a few bucks?

[Arcee]

Where did you get that?? How awesome!

Satan's Evil Bay (ebay), all the way from US...

[Trailer Park Ninja]

Picked these up yesterday afternoon from the post office:

Universe Octane & Smokescreen, RTS Wreck-Gar and Generations WFC Megatron from K.Wong23

But most prized of all was the TFC Folder and Booklets 1-13 from jimoinj. Probably best buy this year.

Received my Specialist Ratchet from ebay on Tuesday. Got sick looking for it here. Love it to death but I think I'll redo some of the paint apps

[valkyrie_76]

Thanks to Dante112011 for these very nice items:

[iamirondude]

my targetmasters finally arrived from the UK.they look like they were just taken out of the box.

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

Found an Encore Metroplex at Mandrake, and a MP10 for ¥14000. Shame I got one from Joshin for ¥18000 already...:-(

Either way, big thanks to heroic decepticon for his Osaka TF map.

Thar be Beast Wars Second Megastorm (Korean version) :) Same mould as 1993 G2 Megatron, but different character, different colours and they removed the electronics.

[Aqua Prime]

He also has different stickers too. Not a bad toy, just very brick-esque. I think that's the charm with him. I'd love a Classics repaint into that colour scheme.

Ultimate battle (ie, the 2 pack with floptimus prime) megatron?

http://cdn.tfw2005.com/resources/attach/4/0/5/9/7/Two-Pack-Mega_1218322552.jpg

Apart from all of the purple he's pretttttty close (I'm sure you knew of this toy though)

[GoktimusPrime]

My favourite tank Megatron mould would be 1994's Hero Megatron (http://tfu.info/1994/Decepticon/Megatron/megatron.htm) - even if he is purple with a fluro orange air pump! :p He's like a smaller version of 1993 G2 Megatron, only with an articulated robot mode (making that toy a pioneer of articulated Transformer action figures).

Ultimate Battle Megatron does have nicer colours, but mouldwise it's not as neat as Hero Megatron - I mean, in context of their vintage. UB Megatron is a fairly ordinary figure by 2006 standards (the lack of a right hand and the way the gun-hand falls out so easily is disappointing, though the rest of the toy is fairly nice), whereas Hero Megatron was just an outstanding piece of engineering by 1994 standards -- among the first of a new breed of articulated TF action figures that we take for granted today.

And as weird as it looks, the air pump launcher gimmick is pretty fun. ;) (although the pump and hose can sometimes be cumbersome) THOOMP!

NOT ACCURATE ENOUGH!!!! :p I want fluro green with purple "glam-oflage" G2 Represent. Since that mold first came out that's what I've been wanting. I'm a sick sad man. ;)

[GoktimusPrime]

NOT ACCURATE ENOUGH!!!! :p I want fluro green with purple "glam-oflage" G2 Represent. Since that mold first came out that's what I've been wanting. I'm a sick sad man. ;)
He wasn't fluro green in the bulk of his canonical appearance (http://tfwiki.net/w2/images2/0/00/Megatrong2idiot.jpg) though -- although he did still have his purple "glamouflage" (ah that Cobra Commander... always the prankster! :p) And to be fair he was bright green in his early canonical appearance (http://tfwiki.net/w2/images2/6/6b/Megatrong2cobra.jpg) (during the GI Joe crossover, his green darkened when it switched to pure G2 Transformers) ;)

In any case, Megastorm =/= Megatron. He's a completely different character being a Predacon from Beast Wars with different colours... he lacks the purple glamouflage! Megastorm's camo decos are a more sensible/realistic brown! (gasp!) :p :p And he has that neat super hero "mask" around his eyes, à la The Incredibles! (heheh) :D Check out the underside of Megastorm where Takara have placed a massive sticker to cover up the battery compartment! (lulz) :cool:

[Doubledealer]

what is this? a legends figure? looks neat!

He's a Japanese exclusive Legends toy in the same vein as the more recent United Targetmasters (spend a certain amount or buy a certain something and you get one). Pretty cool eh!

I'd love to get them all (there's quite a few), especially Skywarp but they appear really infrequently on ebay. The only other alternative is BBTS but their prices for them are a joke! I got Sunstorm for $35 inc. shipping, still pretty expensive but he's great and it's a mold I don't have. :)

[GoktimusPrime]

The United Targetmasters were freebies with a min. purchase of 3000JPY ($38). :)

[Prowl]

Quite the haul so far this month.

CA-03, CA-04 & Ca-05

MP-05, UN-06 & UN-09

I would put up photos but the camera needs charging & I can't be bothered charging it tonight.

I got a replacement AM Jazz, because my other one's visor is all scratched up, and it didn't come with a sticker.
Also this:

Hazaa! - Congratulations on Classicsverse Skywarp Arcee! :D
He's my favoured Seeker as his colour scheme is just awesome, especially on that particular iteration of him ;):cool:, I honestly can't believe how crazy hard to find and expensive he has become :eek:; issues that never crossed my mind when I bought mine, along with Ultra Magnus, in the 2 Pack from Target for $40... :o


Besides acquiring a wonderful bug that contained gastro for the past 72 hours. I got this guy the other day. Of course I can't remember what day it was.

And I know it's more of an action pose but. I couldn't stop them doing this. It took them all night to think it up.

Skullcruncher is seriously mint I would rate him as 9.5/10. From the BS grading system I've seen some people grade stuff us he'd be an 11 :p

Oh man AP, congratulations on that divinely fresh looking Skullcruncher! :eek::cool:
I love this guy, especially as I bought mine from a guy with the same name... :confused::p, as I love Crocodilian TFs as well as the fact that he's a Headmaster although my own is missing his gun. :D

LOL, as soon as I saw that last photo I knew exactly what you were referencing :p:D, that shot also make me want to track down my own Mindwipe and Weirdwolf... Argh! :o

Ooh! A big congratulations there KS, a hard to track down figure indeed as I also have Zippo to thank for my own, vicariously through 1AZRAEL1 as I wasn't a member at the time :o, as for not opening it... Are you crazy man!?! :D


But most prized of all was the TFC Folder and Booklets 1-13 from jimoinj. Probably best buy this year.

*snip*

A very nice find and I'm also glad to see yet another happy customer of Jimoinj's, he's a top bloke/seller indeed eh? ;):cool:

Are they all complete?


Found an Encore Metroplex at Mandrake, and a MP10 for ¥14000. Shame I got one from Joshin for ¥18000 already...:-(

Either way, big thanks to heroic decepticon for his Osaka TF map.

HD's efforts in his TF Hunting Maps (http://heroicdecepticon.blogspot.com/p/heroics-toy-shop-locator-guide.html) certainly seem to be helping quite a few people out, which is good as that'll please him greatly. ;):cool:

I had a couple of Takara goodies come in over the last couple of days :)

My Classicsverse needed some SEA-S.P. RAY Goodness.

*snip*

And tank/ Brick Megs.

*snip*

Hmm, I think I should've gone with my initial inclination and bought the Takara version of Seaspray after having seen these pics AP; I just couldn't turn up the Deluxe Price Point I paid for the Hasbro version I bought at the time though. :o

Ooh! you got Megastorm! :eek:
I'm in the market for him now, you'll see why at the bottom ;), so I'll have to see if Jimoinj still has his available for sale! :o


And this arrived today. LOVE HIM!!! My son keeps annoying me to open him so he can have a play. May have to get an Armarda version for him.

*snip*

Congratulations man, if you're interested; Odelay (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=10350) has an Armada Unicron for sale with a free Cybertron Unicron avaiable? - I can vouch greatly for Odelay too as I bought his Cyb Primus, Enr Omega Supreme and Arm Tidal Wave from him earlier this year. ;):cool:


Today (FINALLY) After nearly 1 and half months of buying my Reprolabels order arrived :D

Holy crap, a month!?! :eek:
Mine have only ever taken 2-2.5 weeks at max, was it a massive order was it? :confused:


*snip*

You always know how to make me jealous Deceptic, and you do it in such a stunning way! :eek::D


*snip*

$29 at Target.

Is that a Bare-Bones release like the DVD too Jena?


Quite the haul so far this month.

CA-03, CA-04 & Ca-05

MP-05, UN-06 & UN-09

Oh yeah, some damn nice acquisitions there dude! ;):cool:
How are you finding the FP Insecticons and Masterpiece Megatron?


Last stand of the Wreckers from Target
and from Kmart Cyberverse Megatron blastwave set.

Wow!, I didn't think any copies of LSOTW were still floating around at Targets - Congratulations Defcon. ;):)


Also this:

*snip*

Yeah, couldn't resist. :D


Holy Crap TinyJazz! :eek::eek::eek:
Do you know how incredibly http://i1032.photobucket.com/albums/a409/Darkone666au/Webpics/jello.jpg you've made me right now? :eek:

A HUGE congratulations mate! ;):cool:


Thanks to Verno ... Transmutate has arrived!!:D:D

Hazaa!, yet another proud owner of Transmutate and again courtesy of Verno! - Congratulations Liege, your show cast collection would be getting pretty close to complete now yeah? :cool:


At last, picked these up from the Post Office:

MISB Perceptor, MIB Rodimus Prime and MIB Hot Rod.

*snip*

Oh wow, those look to be in stunning condition Valkyrie, well done and congratulations mate! :cool:


My next post, my own acquisitions thus far from this month... :D

[Cat]

My local Kmart is so crap, they don't even have the blu-ray.

Yeah, mine had a whole front aisle display of the DVD ($18 for those poor souls who still buy DVD :P )

It took me ages to find the Blu-Ray, it was pretty well hidden, not by people, by the way they'd stocked it.

They had a MASSIVE amount of...........TWO copies.

$18 for just the DVD, or $26 for the Blu-Ray, DVD, and a digital copy (yeah, digital copy is silly, but easy to use for your average person I guess).

I can't see why, even if you didn't own a Blu-Ray player, you wouldn't spend the extra $8 and get the extra two formats.

[Hursticon]

Been rather busy this week, so without further ado... :D:cool:
My acquisitions thus far for the month of November include:

@ Hursty...

thanks... yep only Ravage remains I can settle for the Tripredacus agent ( black repaint of TM2 Cheetor if that would be cheaper as it is still Ravage, but if I get a chance for the X9 well why not, after him, it's complete showcast.:D

[kup]

He also has different stickers too. Not a bad toy, just very brick-esque. I think that's the charm with him. I'd love a Classics repaint into that colour scheme.

That mold's biggest appeal was it's awesome electronics. I love G2 Megs for that alone as he is a brick ;)

[liegeprime]

Massive haul Hursty!, Completing BW Neo I see;)

[Aqua Prime]

Massive haul Hursty!, Completing BW Neo I see;)

I've got a couple great pieces to add to that collection ;)

[tinyJazz]

Thanks TJ! I see you're a fan of the more unusual Animated offerings too, that white Soundwave is wicked. :D TFA forever!!

Yeah! You wouldn't be wrong there, I have a candy bucket shaped like Optimus Prime's head.



Holy Crap TinyJazz! :eek::eek::eek:
Do you know how incredibly [wobbly?] you've made me right now? :eek:

A HUGE congratulations mate! ;):cool:


Haha, thanks dude! You're in luck too, the ebay seller listed more of these for two dollars less than what I paid. :p

Also, nice haul man! Your pics of BWII BB and starscream make them look mighty tempting, so shiny and pretty! I love how BB has "FOR STARSCREM" printed on what looks like his arm? They're bros alright. :D

[Hursticon]

Ah excellent, glad to hear man; I reckon you shouldn't settle for second best man, grab yourself an X9 so you've got the best of the best but also so I've got someone to share in my sorrows after forking out such a hefty sum for the figure when I get myself one. ;):p


Massive haul Hursty!, Completing BW Neo I see;)

Hehe, cheers man; As it stands, I'm going after the unique molds of both of the Japanese Beast Wars series and once I've made that milestone I'll look at starting to actually complete Neo and II - The vast majority of both lines though are comprised of repaints really, some good and some bad but it gives me a prolonged journey in collecting Beast Wars figures for a while yet. ;):D


I've got a couple great pieces to add to that collection ;)

Ooh! - I know of a set that you've got that I'll be after, but what else may lie ahead? ;)


Haha, thanks dude! You're in luck too, the ebay seller listed more of these for two dollars less than what I paid. :p

Hmm...,
If he can hold out until after the Parra Fair this weekend then I might have to give that a shot! :D


Also, nice haul man! Your pics of BWII BB and starscream make them look mighty tempting, so shiny and pretty! I love how BB has "FOR STARSCREM" printed on what looks like his arm? They're bros alright. :D


I've always loved the molds that BB and Starscream use, the G2 Dreadwing & Smokescreen molds (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Dreadwing_%28G2%29), ever since I was a kid but these days I've found the original G2 iterations to be prohibitively expensive :(; The fact that the molds were reused in Beast Wars II and that a really good South Korean seller I'd dealt with before had the pair MISB for a bloody good price? :D, I just couldn't turn them down as I think the colours used on BB and Starscream work extremely well and with the little details, like the Predacon Insignia on Starscream's head crest and "For Starscream" written on BB's arms (He really is dedicated to Starscream huh? :p), I'd say definitely give them your consideration. ;):cool:

[GoktimusPrime]

Also, nice haul man! Your pics of BWII BB and starscream make them look mighty tempting, so shiny and pretty! I love how BB has "FOR STARSCREM" printed on what looks like his arm? They're bros alright. :D

More like BB is Starscream's beeotch. ;)
"Rogeeerrr!"

Also, the arm panels that say "For Starscrem" are located in the aft of the vehicle mode where Starscream docks with BB. So yeah, that's the meaning of those stickers. ;)

The unique moulds interest me more in those lines (I got most of them - just a few I still need). The repaints... meh. Some of them are identical to the Hasbro toys, but just with different names and are technically different characters. e.g. Apache is the same as B'Boom, Tasmania Kid is the same as Snarl etc. I have Apache, so I have intention of getting B'Boom, and I have Snarl so I have desire for Tasmania Kid. Even with the repaints I don't really have a burning desire to get them either. :/ I did get Randy earlier this year because it was a self-pity purchase after travelling halfway around Taipei TF hunting and not finding anything that day. And the toy broke on me as soon as I opened it... stupid gold plastic!! Just as well I already have Razorbeast. :p

They are indeed sweet sweet moulds. :) I got 3 different versions myself - G2 Dreadwing/Smokescreen, BWII BB/Starscream & RiD Dreadwind/Smokejumper. I skipped RM Gigant Bomb/Gigantsniper... 3 versions is probably enough. :p

Just such fun toys to play with... as the G2 commercial said, "His gatling gun is illin'!" :p :)


I just couldn't turn them down as I think the colours used on BB and Starscream work extremely well
The colours are actually based on an abandoned repaint of G2 Dreadwing/Smokscreen as G2 ATB Megatron/Starscream (http://tfwiki.net/w2/images2/6/6d/G2toy_ATB_megs_and_screamer.jpg) (G2 got cancelled before these toys could be released). So I think it's cool how Takara let us have these previously aborted designs, but of course repurposed & redecoed as Predacons. Also neat how they even kept the Starscream name for the Smokescreen redeco, but obviously they couldn't use the name Megatron (since there was already another grape-faced Predacon using that name ;))

[Hursticon]

Yep, I totally share your favour of the unique molds; there is just so much variety with them and I like the return to the more organic Alt modes too. :cool:
The repaints I just find frustrating as some are just ugly, i.e. Powerhug, others are nigh exactly the same, i.e. Hydra and Lazorbeak, but some like Survive are welcomed additions. ;):)
(The fact though that they're all different characters to their US counterparts too doesn't help either :o)

Lucky bugger, but yeah that Baby Blue colour scheme immediately repulsed me but the 'Treadbolt' colour schemed version wasn't all too bad; they really are cool though eh?, so much playability with 3 different modes and a combining gimmick - Way Ahead (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Magmatron#Toys) of their time. :D:cool:


Just such fun toys to play with... as the G2 commercial said, "His gatling gun is illin'!" :p :)

Oh god, I hated those 'Rappin' ads (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H79nBsSM8_A&t=5m46s). :p:D
I love how they smash the 2 Autobots at the end of their ad though! :cool:

So I think it's cool how Takara let us have these previously aborted designs, but of course repurposed & redecoed as Predacons.

Yeah, I read that and found it to be quite interesting and I agree that it is quite cool that Takara managed to find a way to deliver ATB Megatron and Starscream what; 6 to 8 years later?, with only minor alterations like the Predacon details, names and the dropping of the Grey plastic - An honest must have for any collection in any of their iterations. ;):)
(Except for that fugly RiD: Sky Blue (http://www.transformertoys.co.uk/content.php?/transformers-toys/toy-gallery/1544/Robots+in+Disguise/Dreadwind.html) abortion :rolleyes:)

Don't know if this really counts as an acqusition, but she is nummy.

Technically October, but here'll do, I've been lucky enough to be dating the lovely 'Arcee' off the board. Better than all my collection, but don't tell her that. ;)

Also got to meet/remeet Griffin last night (Sorry mate, it's been so damn long, I can't remember which it is), which was great again, and also means someone here should be able to share their newest acquisition, which is a nice TF piece that not many of us have.

I really wish there were some English Subs done for BW II and Neo, so that I can understand what's going on and the contexts of what they're doing/saying on screen. :(


3 years after the end of G2. :)

Really?, was it only 3 years? - I'd of thought it'd been longer...
(Considering that I only ever knew about the US stuff until someing like '99-'00 :o)

[GoktimusPrime]

It sounds even weirder after Starscream gets rebuilt as Hellscream (http://tfwiki.net/w2/images2/e/ea/HellscreamMovie1.jpg); the "girly" voice just seems downright strange coming out of such a scary/monstrous looking Predacon!

I think there are some fan-subs (and even fan dubs) floating about; not sure if it covers every ep though. You're not missing out on much though, BWII is a pretty ordinary story and the animation quality is horrible ('cept for the move of course). BW Neo is also fairly lacklustre (although it has better animation) until the Unicron arc at the end... but it's not interesting enough to sit through the banal repetition of the rest of the series. (>_>)


Really?, was it only 3 years? - I'd of thought it'd been longer...
Yeah, G2 ended in 1995 and Beast Wars Second came out in 1998.

Still, it'd be nice to watch them just once with some level of understanding though as I believe you're right in that there isn't a complete set of Subs done for either series I believe; it is a good thing though that the movie doesn't suffer this though. :o

Well, bowl me over and call me a snow blower (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kC1LSSL-d50)! :eek::p

[liegeprime]

BB with Starscrem was actually my first BW toy if I think about it.... though technically not beasts, they are of the line:p... it was a choice between them and Lio Convoy ( who I couldve bought as well but I wasnt into beast modes at those times - see regret thread) - got my BB for 600 pesos only and I thought it was an awesome bargain for 2 bot who combine and is ultraposeable:D plus I love the color scheme, the way the two figures combine and dock and the missle firing action - oooh tons of missles as well! Now that I think about it, this was my very first Starscream as well:p in a way until I got the Takara booktype one.

@ AP Im curious as well what figures you have in store to add to Hursty's BW2/Neo collecting trend..

[iceburn]

ladies and gentlements, may i remind you that this is an Acquisitions thread and discussions/views should be set to the minimum.

If there's a discussable topic, please create a thread and proceed from there. thanks and sorry if i do spoil any fun here :D

[Tallestblue]

Well, since the Transformers Pickings have been slim I caved and went to K-mart during their sale (Getting my first Myer paycheck also helped) Abnd picked up Leader Class DOTM Ironhide,HA Backfire with Spike Witwicky, HA Sandstorm with Private Dedcliff, HA thunderhead with Major Tungsten and HA Icepick with Sergeant Chaos (How did he pass a military entrance exam, his last name is CHAOS!!?). All neat figures (especially at Ten bucks for the Human Alliance guys!) Ironhide is on the same coolness level as Battle Ops Bumblebee and almost seems to be from that same sort of Autobot Alliance era of sculpting, gimmicks and large scale fun. He also looks really cool holding Back Fire as a Handgun, and along with Sandstorm as a shoulder mounted Rocket Launcher Ironhide serves as "Field Commander" For my Human Alliance Toys.

[Sharky]

Picked up the Cyberverse 5 pack, DOTM Bluray and IDW Transformers Classic Vol 1.

[snaketales]

Finally found a cyberverse Optimus Prime action set at Kmart, which I bought mainly to try see if the trailer could be shoehorned on to G1 legends Optimus.....

Now that is an impressive acquisition, thanks for posting up pics as I had never seen these sets before. Any idea if there are noticeable differences between the Japanese and European releases? I only note the weapon/missile sprues.

Ooh! - Very nice finds there Valkyrie :D, it is interesting that these versions come with the missiles on sprues; so the European version didn't have theirs on sprues did they?


Super sexy Vector Prime, as always.

Cheers Arcee, indeed; much like his real life counterpart, Vector Prime does look quite sharp huh? :D
I must say, I do prefer the extra paint apps on this version but I think I would've preferred the white base paint of the Hasbro version to the Takara's Grey, but again the extra paint apps make up for that. ;):cool:

Arrival today:

1986 Animated Movie TP (special thanks to UltraMarginal on the intel ;))

Some very nice acquisitions there, especially the '86 Movie Soundtrack and TPB; neither particularly easy to acquire to my understanding. :eek::cool:

[Cat]

The IDW movie tpb is still a relatively easy find.

It's not exactly the most popular product of IDW's. It's only worthwhile for the art.

[Krayt]

Not easy to find here in melbourne :-(

Arrival today:

1986 Animated Movie TP (special thanks to UltraMarginal on the intel ;))

Just curious, which intel ended up paying off?

[GoktimusPrime]

From what I understand, there is no difference between the European and Japanese versions.
So you're collecting them for the boxes?

[snaketales]

Found legion Flak and Roadbuster this morning, so I had to get Leadfoot and Topspin to complete the wreckers.
Also picked up a Kup for a custom project and DOTM Dark Steel

where did you find these in perth mate?

[snaketales]

The legions were at Morley target (flak, roadbuster and leadfoot) and toys r us (topspin)

Kup and Darksteel were from a private supplier.

[Arcee]

Just curious, which intel ended up paying off?

The Abebooks. I didn't get it from the UK section though; found out that they also have an Oz section which provides one more option, cheaper actually, so went for it. ;) Vendor still from US though.

Arrived today - UK Classics vol 1.

DOTM Powerglide and Guzzle (was cheaper to get the Japanese versions, no difference other than a sticker)

Encore Ratchet and Ironhide (extras just because they were cheap).

DOTM Powerglide and Guzzle (was cheaper to get the Japanese versions, no difference other than a sticker)

And collectible game/tech specs card. ;)

[Cat]

Doubt if this really counts, but hope someone finds it useful.

Picked up the Botcon comic from my LCS this week, the Diamond edition, naturally.

One for me, one for Arcee (along with the regular ongoing, bleh I dislike this art)>

[Paulbot]

Thanks for the tip. My local comic store didn't have it today when I picked up the ongoing (they probably only ordered it in for customers who asked for it). I'll be hunting the other shops in town tomorrow.

Oh what? That's one less post I've got to add to my count! :p

I've got Spotlight v.3 and For All Mankind today, shipped from US. For All Mankind...once again, rubbed. So now I have two copies of claimed-to-be-brand-new For All Mankind on hand, both with a big crease on the back cover.

I give up.:(

[hanprimus]

Thanks to Skullcruncher for the G1 Weirdwolf, been hunting the Tail for a long time and it's good to acquire one before the KO releases.

Wow! I found those in America back in 2008 or 2009, and even bought a box because I didn't think they'd ever be released here.
Never used any yet... I didn't want to waste them. :p

OVERLORD!!! SWEET. Would be be selling your spare Metrotitan?


A random tangent... did you sell a G2 Devastator chestpiece on ebay the other week?

Hi Aqua. I would be selling it but I really need $120 for it or something equivalent, I know I probably done my money on it. I was going to swap the pink bits for black bits from a metroplex if I don't get rid of it.

Overlord has definitely made me smile the most out of all the things I've bought, But I'm giving him to myself for Christmas so I'm not getting it out of the box till then.

I did sell that chest piece unfortunately. I just got that other parts lot pictured, if you wanted anything or recognize anything. I just bought it for the diaclone magnus head (I think)

[Hursticon]

Damn! - Sweet haul Geigerrock, many envious items amongst that lot mate, congratulations! :eek::cool:

Hey. You got marbles:) and whirl:D nice one. I like that micro stealth bomber too.
Man ,that power ranger thing is huge. I've got the green and black dragon bit, but i think i gave away the yellow and blue legs. I didn't figure out they went together.:rolleyes:

[Hursticon]

Hey. You got marbles:) and whirl:D nice one. I like that micro stealth bomber too.

Hell yeah man :D, Marbles was another one that I had as a kid but had lost it to time so it's great to have him back, Whirl was a completely unexpected find as was the price and I too dig the Flying-Wing/Stealth Bomber too, one of the more unique Micromaster Aircraft IMO. :cool:


Man ,that power ranger thing is huge. I've got the green and black dragon bit, but i think i gave away the yellow and blue legs. I didn't figure out they went together.:rolleyes:

Hehe, I've absolutely no idea as to the Japanese origins of the toys themselves so whether they were all designed with each other in mind or that each successive figure was developed after the other and retro-engineered? - Buggered if I know, lol :D, but all I know is that it was incredibly cool when I was a kid and I wanted the lot but could never afford them and as for big? - You're not bloody wrong man as they're a pain to try and store away when you've also got to stick them with the Thunder Megazord and Panosh Voltron. :p

My first TF purchase in AGES and a birthday treat to myself
Cyberverse playsets were on sale for $15 *rather than $36* so I got a few.

[snaketales]

Woah, nice find Snaketales! Did they have any other Beast Wars era figures there?

There was a Universe repaint of Optimus Primal (original gorilla mode) - it was a kinda browny colour instead of black.

And as previously posted there were a couple of Beast Machines Optimus Primals - the thread in the sightings forum has more detail.

Other than that there were a couple of "role play" Armada star sabres, plus an assortment ofaction figures (including the Shadow's motor bike!)

addition: sorry Verno, just saw your post in the original sightings thread. :o

[Aqua Prime]

Sorry dude. I really didn't notice it when I was down there. It may have even been one from out back.

And what is a standard ebay price.

A quick ebay search shows it to be $100-130 misb.. I got it for about half.

I feel extremely lucky.

BTW it was set apart from the other Beast Machines figures so don't feel too bad about not seeing it.

[JuzMel]

Yippers! Wedding is (done and dusted!), well sort of hehe so its TF and LEGO buying time again. Been a little picky with what I get lately as funds are still a little tight. But here's a little of what's been bought in the last few weeks:

http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r70/milassilem/Transformers/Tfn-160.jpg
Ultimate Gift Set from Kmart.

http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r70/milassilem/Transformers/Tfn-161.jpg
Cyberverse Bumblebee and Starscream set from TRU Sale. Been getting quite a bit of Toy Story Stuff lately. :o

[UltraMarginal]

Bullseye is so cool.

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

OMG Mandrake is sweet. I was gonna pick up some more HA basics but decided I'd try my luck at getting around the trains here a bit first. Managed to find my way to Umeda - illiterate gaijin victory, yay!
Checked out Mandrake Umeda, grabbed a ¥680 JP TM Optimus Primal, a loose incomplete Op Minor for ¥315, and a JP Animated Lockdown/Ratchet 2 pack for ¥1575. Already have a Ratchet in Oz but it was less than a Lockdown on his own.
Then cruised to Mandrake Shinsaibashi and found a loose Apache for ¥800 odd, and an encore Omega Supreme for ¥3150. Oh and a JP BW Scuba for ¥105.
To put all that into perspective, it all came to a little over the cost of 3 HA basics here, or about AU$75.

:D

Cheers man, I do like to keep a steady stream (I really am addicted :p) of figures coming in as it certainly helps when one is able to save up a little bit beforehand; Sixshot truly is such a cool figure, indeed, but his presence is immediately felt on the shelf which is so un-ninja but he's too damn big to argue with! :D

Yeah, those were common-as in Australia. :) Apparently rare in North America. I'm surprised you didn't go for Galaxy Force Primus - he has that sweet G1-style box! Unless you really wanted that Unicron head with Eeevil-Tentacles(TM) (http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y227/goktimusprime/Transformers/Photocomic%20Faith/photocomic_faith11.jpg) ;)Yeah, it was pretty much the tentacle-y head that sold it.
Wish I'd had the money when it was out in Oz though, it's pretty expensive to get a Cybertron with a moon these days.:(

Also, damn you for making me want that tiny Autorooper with cowering Atari.:mad: :o :rolleyes:

Yesterday I was made a very happy person, for 1AZRAEL1 delivered to me the final piece in a very expensive G1 puzzle (Well, by my standards anyway :o). ;):)
I am now the proud owner of a 100% Complete G1 Scorponok; including all parts, paperwork, box and foam! :D:cool:

Picked up deluxe class LunarFire Optimus Prime today from Kmart. I've got the other exclusive deluxe optimus from big w but o really love the new paint apps, especially the gold. Hadn't seen or heard of this version until I bought him.

[tinyJazz]

^ I remember seeing that on TFW a couple of years back along with many others and downloading them all for reference. I also am aware of the buyer when they were originally sold and made public for the first time. Be careful you don't have a repro there TJ if you paid through the nose for it.

Thanks for concern dude, I wasn't aware of that. Although I wouldn't expect bbts to sell a repro and not make clear that was the case. I trust pgt's honesty and I often rely on thehandsomecrab's advice when buying expensive TF . If that was something I'd need to be concerned about, I'm sure he would have brought it up when he sent me the link.

Besides, the thing came in cardboard folder in a box of packing peanuts. That's a lot of effort to swindle me with a repro. :/


No it's not. An awesome find like that trumps any mainstream release, no matter how good it is. Nice work there :).

You're absolutely right, thanks man. :)



Ooh! - Now that is one incredibly cool acquisition Tinyjazz, you own a piece of History! :eek::cool:
Thanks very much for saying so :D it's just used to transfer the art onto he box layout, but I love it!

Also, i hope you don't mind me reposting your pic because it's just so amazing

Finally, I've been looking for this guy for ages.

My Devastator army is nearly complete

Nice scores there Karni and Hursti.

Here's another Pre-TF that came in a few weeks ago that I just took pics for the other day:

Good stuff KP :) Do you mind me asking how much they set you back?

Noice! Together we have the set I think (I have the navy blue fella). :D

Awesome. How cool are they and how stupid is it they were never repurposed into Transformers? I'm in the process of doing a review on him too. I don't know about you, but do the Powermasters now feel like rip-offs of these guys in a way after owning one of them?

[KaRNiV8L PRiME]

$99.25 + postage eBay from US. I've been search for far too long for these and honestly I woulda paid more

[1orion2many]

I like to thank Rokdog for showing me something useful to do with Transformer Movie posters:D

Cheers mate :) Just curious as I am considering flogging off my set as I have Encore Devy incoming.

JMO---> That seems like a lot to pay for repainted reissues that were commonly available at retail! (I got Buckethead and Bonecrusher at Coles -- can't remember how much I paid, but it wasn't much) :eek: Gee, if a regular retail set like this is fetching $99.25, I wonder how much the limited chase Destron Sixbuilder (http://www.tfu.info/2003/Destron/SixBuilder/sixbuilder.htm) (or "Devil Builder" as he's called in the Gokiverse ;)) would go for! :eek: I only managed to get the limbs for Destron Sixbuilder, so when Micromaster Constructicon Devastator came out here, I grabbed Buckethead and Bonecrusher from Coles so I could make the gestalt, albeit a Hasbro-Takara hybrid. :p

Oh well. It's your money and as long as you're happy with your purchase then good for you. :)

[Paul Agnew]

(I got Buckethead and Bonecrusher at Coles -- can't remember how much I paid, but it wasn't much) :eek:

They were at Coles? The only place I ever saw them was at Clint's Crazy Bargains for $5 a figure (along with the overpriced Universe 2003 deluxes and unmoving Attacktix figures).

[Doubledealer]

Awesome. How cool are they and how stupid is it they were never repurposed into Transformers? I'm in the process of doing a review on him too. I don't know about you, but do the Powermasters now feel like rip-offs of these guys in a way after owning one of them?

Yeah mate, they're awesome! :D It indeed would have been great if they were made into Transformers. They could have been the comedy duo who always grumbled while hanging off someone's locker. :p Their patience would have helped them become pretty good snipers too!

[snaketales]

picked up masterpece ghost starscream from toys r them today during their sale.

[Gutsman Heavy]

Encore Devvy! Hoorah!

[Paulbot]

Imported from Robotkingdom, a case of Preview wave Prime deluxes.

They were also at Woolworths. From memory they were being sold for approx. $7-$8.

[Hursticon]

Thanks very much for saying so :D it's just used to transfer the art onto he box layout, but I love it!

Also, i hope you don't mind me reposting your pic because it's just so amazing...

Very awesome. Huge congrats man.

It's no problem at all dude and though it may of been only used to transfer the art; think of how many boxes would be without it had it not been for that cell? :eek:
(It's a stretch perhaps... But I still think it has significance :cool:)

Many thanks for the comments too about Scorpy, I still look at him with a big grin on my silly dial every time. :p:D

Wow! :eek:
Congrats man!, I remember seeing those back in the day in plague proportions but I have noticed that these days it's quite hard to find a complete set of this repaint let alone MOSC examples! :cool:


Nice scores there Karni and Hursti.

Here's another Pre-TF that came in a few weeks ago that I just took pics for the other day:

*snip*

Cheers dude! :D
Many big congrats to you too as I agree with DD on these Pad-lock bots as they are mighty cool indeed! ;):cool:


I like to thank Rokdog for showing me something useful to do with Transformer Movie posters:D

I had to lol at the use of the poster, but a massive congrats man; such an incredibly awesome figure regardless of it's paint work! ;):D


Yeah mate, they're awesome! :D It indeed would have been great if they were made into Transformers. They could have been the comedy duo who always grumbled while hanging off someone's locker. :p Their patience would have helped them become pretty good snipers too!

You're dead on with the Sniper concept dude, it's logical; so they would have to be the creation of Shockwave which means they could be quite sinister little buggers too! :D:cool:


They were also at Woolworths. From memory they were being sold for approx. $7-$8.

That's exactly where I remember them coming from too! :eek:
