Gobots, Rock Lords, Machine Men Acquisition thread

[Slag]

Sub-bots, Shelf-warmers, call them what you will. I like them. If you have some, new or old, put them here:)

This is my collection. Some i have had since childhood, got one from my mate and couple i got from the G-Rock.

These things can be picked up cheap. Some of the bad guys look cool. Half the good guys look ridiculous.
My mates 6 year old son looked at Marbles (the green and brown guy on the left) and asked "why does he have a bum on his head?" Hilarious

Nice... I always thought it looked more like a pair of :confused::confused:

Mask Rock ,the Japanese version, looks less so. But yeah, not too sure what they were thinking when that head-sculpt got passed. I think it's meant to look a bit Brainish???
Anyway, looks like you have a great start:)

[spiderken17]

I've seen a picture of the japanese version, It looks way cooler than our "Marbles".
Seriously, Marbles?:confused: With a head like that and a name like Marbles why not just call him Genitals.:D

[Slag]

Speak of the devil.. got this guy today:)

Yeah. for sure . I gotta start putting more effort into the photo-shoots:o... I'll do the lot soon

http://i1229.photobucket.com/albums/ee476/teammembernumber8/IMG_6796.jpg If anyone knows where i could find the Japanese versions/colour variations of the battle-station type rock lords (the 3 round ones in front) It would be much appreciated. They're the last 3 i need.. ATM AFAIK.:)

http://i1229.photobucket.com/albums/ee476/teammembernumber8/IMG_3892.jpg I think this one is now part of Spiderken's collection:)

http://i1229.photobucket.com/albums/ee476/teammembernumber8/IMG_3896.jpg 1 of 2 rock-solid vehicles . I'll get the next one up on the next round of photos..:)

Got some more pics of the vehicles.... I can feel the excitement building

http://i1229.photobucket.com/albums/ee476/teammembernumber8/IMG_6891.jpg So it's Magmars Stonewing yet Magmar doesn't really fit.. And the Japanese boxed version clearly shows the opposition flying it :confused:around:confused:

[spiderken17]

The Japanese version of Marbles looks like some sort of wrestler :).

My brother says i should Cosplay a Rock Lord...

[Slag]

My brother says i should Cosplay a Rock Lord...

That could be intetresting. Shouldn't be too hard for someone with your skills anyway.. Might i suggest Rock-Roller. You might even be able to make it transformable (considering he is just a blue rock that the arms and legs pop straight out the side of... turtle style:p) He's sarahs favourite too:)
But then again you would probably want a challenge, and i can't see any as hard as Sunny:)

[Yukitora]

My God thats friggin cute! I'm too young to know what this series is. I have a blue rock dude in the he-man stuff

[Hursticon]

Good lord Geiger! :eek:
That is one deliciously awesome Geological-Automaton collection, I can see about 6 or 7 figures I'd like to eventually add to my own collection but seeing so many of them all together like that is just awesome! :D:cool:

[Metallikato]

Nice collection. You're Nugget and Brimstone appear to have pretty indentical paintwear to what mine have...

Need to see that Rock Lords movie again one of these days.

[Slag]

A few more thanks to Fungalinfection

http://i1229.photobucket.com/albums/ee476/teammembernumber8/IMG_6885.jpg

And i managed to get a few more pics of the vehicles up.

[theshape]

[Hursticon]

Awesome stuff liege. I really want a Crasher (any colour), she still keeps getting away from me no matter how hard i try:p
And 1 half of monstrous. Nice:D

[Slag]

A few more! this is the best BH-04 i've ever seen. If it wasn't for the sticky tape deterioration i would have said this was MISB before this picture was taken or only opened once or twice-carefully. No stress on the box at all!

BH-07 on the other hand. Interesting , a small amount of metal in the feet, A lot of detail, but seems very ,, fiddly. heaps of parts that i'm not going to worry with ATM

[spiderken17]

I like the yellow Mech-suit thingy. What is it?
The Rock Lord Dinosaur i am not a fan of. Its cool that they are in great condition.

[liegeprime]

The Mech suit actually reminds me of the ones they used in Aliens.. think there was a toy of it too with Ripley figure :D:D....

Grock - theres lots of Crashers on ebay, just be careful though coz mine here is pretty dinged up actually - bite marks prolly from previous owners, but she was cheap so I don't mind :D... need the other half still of monsterous :D

Bringing this acquisition thread back as I've just started getting back into Machine Men after a 30 year break lol.
Today I recieved a MOSC Pincher from ebay. He was pretty cheap compared to the other MOSC's so decided to grab him quick. Will open him later...

[shockNwave]

Ah the memories of Granite, Tombstone, Magmar and (my favorite) Sticks & Stones.

If this series was given a revival today it would be foolish to pass up the opportunity to create a Rock Lord combiner.:cool:

hey mate

is this carded on a Machine Men card? or GoBots?

if its on a Machine Men one, any chance you'd sell it? or let me replace it with a GoBot one if you just wanna open him.

chris :)

Hey nah it's just a Gobots card. Machine Men cards and box's seem to be super rare, even more rare than Machine Robo.

Hey mate... thanks for replying. It was worth a shot! :p lol

Yeah agreed, they certainly are harder to find... I've managed to nab a few carded and boxed, I should upload a few pics. :)

[Jay-Tron]

That would be cool.

[Jay-Tron]

Recieved another MOSC Gobot today. Dumper. He may have a terrible name but he's a great little toy.

[Jay-Tron]

I'll be opening them all up and displaying them.

[Jay-Tron]

Hooray! I've just recieved what is for me the holy grail of MOC Gobots, Pathfinder and Flip Top. Two of my favorites from my childhood, especially Pathfinder. They've both been very difficult to get on ebay for a decent price but I finally snagged them. Very happy.
