Received TFC#04, 08, 10 and 13. All great condition except the postman has damaged 08's box! Big torn dent in it :-( Not the senders fault either, they bubble wrapped and put foam inside the box but something was jabbed through the side of the cardboard box and hit infernos box. The saddest part is that the rest of the box is in fantastic condition to the point that I can't see any shelf ware at all. So I think I'm in the market for an undamaged one again :-(

Reissues are real dude. They're not unlicensed fakes or KOs. :) If it's plastic then they'd be original G1s. The reissues were all die-cast metal. There's also a really slight difference between the original and reissue Predaking heads... it's really small... you can stare at the two side by side for ages before noticing it (IIRC it's around where the main head meet the antennae... around that area. Can't remember that the exact difference was, it's that slight... but I do remember noticing something was different).

Some are, some aren't. Like that Gen Hot spot he got for costs around Au$37, but he then went to a hobby shop coz the local retailer ran out of Springer and it costed the same price (which he still got with my consent) I think sellers from Taiwan so far have been selling the cheaper priced on ebay for these exclusives. Generally though, its cheaper in retail there a week after release coz it goes on sale and prices are almost at par with uS pricing. Like the Prime deluxes cost Au$16 each compared to how much here retail, but hobby shop price vary from being like retail priced to ebay match price.

Masterpiece Optimus Prime, today bought at retail toysrus. Thanks for the voucher also!!

First retail purchase in a long time...

Be really careful with that toy, dude! It unfortunately suffers from brittle plastic syndrome (what's commonly called Gold Plastic Syndrome, but in this case, it's brown plastic). :( Had I known you were looking for a Transmetal Megatron I would have recommended getting the Takara version - FAR superior quality plastic that won't crumble on you. If you haven't opened this toy yet, maybe consider selling it and buying a Takara one? <shrugs> :confused:

As a mostly MISB collector i'm probably not the best person to ask as these bad boys will stay locked in plastic for the moment. I agree with you however that brawl and swindle look awesome and are my favourites. Onslaught's colours and size does not make him as good as he could be. Blast off and vortex vehicle modes look really good but robot form lacks a little,

Megatron is larger than Browning, and engineering-wise a substantially superior figure. Browning's transformation isn't quite as clever as Megatron's, e.g the fists are detachable missiles whereas they're retractable on Megatron. And Browning has plenty of groin emphasis, plus that embarrassing "hitch" on the end of his... thing. ;) The yellow trigger on the barrel also detracts from the realism of the gun mode somewhat, whereas Megatron doesn't have anything like that.

Also, Megatron has the sniper accessories that can combine to form a gun emplacement. Maybe Hasbro wanted Megatron to have some cool "battle platform" accessory that could rival Optimus Prime's Combat Deck. But yeah, Megatron's a much better toy than Browning.

Sorry to get slightly off topic, but where Microman figures ever released here? Was just looking through the catalogue scans and from the 1983 section, I've definitely got the ones called R4 and R8 from the combiner team that make the Micro Robot V. I remember a friend gave them to me around 1992, to this day I never knew what they were. They were pretty worn out by the time I got them, wondering where my friend would of got them, he was born in 1981.

Thanks for the pics goki, ill grab some repro labels for him so he will look more legit

44 magnum - he is sick, heres a cool review

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfzLKaBrobo

That barrel/chamber popping out is the best gimmick ever!! :)


It does, doesn't it? Check it out here (http://1501bc.com/pretf/mm_toys.html), I hit up Google - turns out it's an MC-11 Gun Robo S&W Magnum 44.
I can get by in hiragana/katakana and a few really common kanji, but I couldn't make it out in the image above. Cheers nevertheless @Goki, I never knew there were so many Gun Robos.

44 Magnum is so cool! They really should have brought him over to the Transformers line. I don't think he'll make a Megatron, but he certainly fits the description for a big silent bruiser with his rocket punch :D

If Optimus Prime can have his Ultra Magnus, then why can't Megatron have 44 Magnum?? :)

@Suspectimus... well megs already has his Shockwave so 44 Magnum prolly was too much gun overload :D. Still he is quite a good figure I agree... he does look like actionmaster Treadshot in a way. :D:D

@ Ultramarginal: That is one lucky shipping!! NO padding inside at all to protect the statue?? :eek:

Okay I have to confess... I did not pick up 3 Maximi for $250 at retail. I already own both Fort & Brave Max (and both cost me more than $250).

The Grand Maximus is griffin's acquisition. He flew down from Brisbane for the day to pick up a Grand Max he sourced in Sydney, and so came over here before his return flight. We decided to have some fun with posting his acquisition.

No, it's the repaint. It has double door. Its hasbro. Have the box too, wonderful!

GoktimusPrime

Hmm... I used to have Hasbro reissue Soundwave, and the one in your photo looks different. I got rid of my Hasbro Soundwave after I got Encore Soundwave, but I did take comparison photos before I offloaded it...

L-R: G1 Soundwave, Encore Soundwave, Hasbro reissue Soundwave
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y227/goktimusprime/Transformers/soundwaves-1.jpg
When I compare this with your photo, differences include:
+ yours has a richer gold chrome colour (more like the other Soundwaves) whereas Hasbro Soundwave's gold chrome is more 'pale'
+ The arrow on the chest door is unpainted on Hasbro reissue Soundwave, yet it's painted gold chrome on yours (and the other Soundwaves)
+ As a repaint of Soundblaster, Hasbro reissue Soundwave's chest door has the "tech detail" moulded into the top left (Soundwave's right) side, same as Soundblaster, whereas the one in your photo lacks this.

As you can see in the comparison photos, Hasbro reish Soundwave's chest door sticks out like a sore thumb, because it is the double-cassette holding door. I can't tell if yours is like that or not because it's a front on photo - but if you look at the middle photo above you can see how Hasbro reish Soundwave's door really does stick out whereas G1 and Encore are perfectly flat.

Here's a comparison between G1 Soundwave, Hasbro reissue Soundwave and Soundblaster - it shows a more close up look of the chest doors too.
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y227/goktimusprime/Transformers/soundwave_soundblaster.jpg

Was your toy mint in sealed box or loose in unsealed box?

No, mine has all the features you listed for hasbro version. It's the spare warehouse find that bbts found. It says 2012 hasbro so they might have given them more. The difference, I think, is the lighting.
Maybe it's a slight repaint by Hasbro, since it says 2012 Hasbro on it? Idk, I just got it MISB, from BBTS.
Here's copyright:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/68801062@N05/8107045172/in/photostream
It's also weird that the only one with double tape door is Soundblaster and classics Wave. Mine has double door. So this is really confusing. Variant??!?!? I HAVE NO CLUE! Has ar ubsign on the arm, decepticon logo on the door. has those marking indent techy thingos on the top right and left. That's all I can see. Oh yeah, came with Ravage and Laserbeak (shortened boosters) and two cassette cases.

I can clearly see the thick chest door in that picture - so you're right about the double door. Odd how it doesn't have the tech markings though. Maybe it's some kind of variant ... the 2012 copyright marking is odd too... maybe it's some kind of limited re-release of the reissue? <shrugs> :confused: Seems that you've stumbled across an interesting find there. :)

Scouts are from evilBay :) Paid a little more than I would like :(

I came across them from BBTS at first (http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/search.aspx?search=gunbarrel) - they were on clearance for a few months, and I had them on my POL since April, but then they lost Reverb :(:( I took my money back and they offered Gunbarrel at a discounted rate, but he's useless for my purposes without Reverb.

Yes, the blue helicopter is Whirl. Didn't transform him because I mainly got the set for Bludgeon (to go with the Headrobots Blood DX set :D).

Real Gears - Zoom Out, Wire Tap, Power Up, and RotF Scalpel. Not grails or even figures I want personally, but I got them for a game I'm planning for my 5th graders to practice asking and answering "What's this/that?"
Loose DotM Crankcase.

Mini-grails:
MP Lambor. About $60-odd.
United Bumblebee and Growing Pains upgrade kit. I was gonna get Alternity Goldbug but the set worked out to around the same price and he should scale a little better with MP10 and Lambor.
Loose Leader Class Deep Desert Brawl (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Image:Movie_Leader_DeepDesert_Brawl_toy.jpg). Been after this one for a while and he looks pretty sweet.

And on the non-TF front, Kaiyodo Eva 02, cheap due to the box being faded. I already have units 00 and 01, and am considering trying for the full set of Evas if I can find the others.

Wow... didn't know they had Transformers at that Fair (and yeah, I totally forgot about it). Besides... currently scrimping to save for Encore Fort Max. :p :p Lucky I already have all those toys anyway. :D Was Sunstorm an original or reissue? (the original has Takara logo on the box, reissue has Tomy logo and comes w/ the comic book - original should also come with Hauler, but that was in a separate box so it's possible for the seller to separate them)

Not a lot, only 3 tables had TFs and mostly loose stuff. Was a decent complete Metroplex for 80.

Hey Starscream77, which sellers did you get those from? I saw a G1 Dirge in the back left corner with no stickers but in good tight condition. I must have missed the Sunstorm. The guy with the card tables on top of his other tables bugged you while you looked at his stuff and he smelled really bad.

Are those alternators MISB? you planning to open them? :)

decepticharge is MISB :), but when i got shockblast i noticed that it was MOSC even thou the seller said it was MISB:(. so i am not opening decepticharge as i'll leave him MISB and with shockblast i resealed the package and will also leave him boxed.

Also picked up my MP 10 from TRU today for $150, and also got Optimus Maximus from K Mart for $29.99.

Mate, didn't know that they released him in those colors, would have been awesome if he was released in that scheme for the TM BW version. i have the TM BW primal prime, but i reckon that one would have been a lot better. Sad to say that BM was not a line i collected.:(. Damn wish i had of now, that i have seen that version of Primal.

The TRU store on Mulgoa Rd in Penrith, they had none on the shelves but they must be out the back as that's where they got mine from. I went on Monday and asked if they had any and they put a hold on one, so i went to pick it up today and they had it. I think they have not put them out down there yet, because on Monday they said they were not due to go out till next week. Here is their number so you can call them 0247 22 3677.

<shrugs> AFAIK there's no difference in quality between the original and reissue Sunstorm. I was just asking out of curiosity. But yeah, sounds like you have the original. The reissue comes with an exclusive comic book, which isn't much good to you if you can't read Japanese (although it features awesome artwork from Yoshioka Hidetsuga :)). I guess there's a Hauler out there somewhere with no Sunstorm then. :p My Sunstorm's an original too... but I managed to get the reissue's comic book off another member who got the reissue but didn't want the comic since he can't read it. :D

Lucky enough to pickup MP Thundercracker over the weekend. I was uncertain how I'd feel about the different mold from the previous 2 hasbro seeker releases, but now in hand, I like the idea that there are structural differences. I never really liked the idea that the seekers (first 3) were all constructed in exactly the same way, yet were apparently completely unrelated, like say Sideswipe and Sunstreaker, who despite being twins, looked completely different including different transformation processes. The other item in the pic I'm just super excited about cos I got it for only $20 :D

I believe the company/factory these are produced at is based in New York and the site has been down since the hurricane hit. I would presume their server is full of water or no longer there. When it goes back up you'll be able to order but for now if you want to see the products go to google and type fakebusker83 (think theres a thread on TFW2005) or search for Ariel Lemon on Facebook.

Haven't been on the boards for a while, but have still picked up the following over the past few weeks:
- G1 Skydive (to replace the average condition one I have)
- Softimus Prime
- Transformers Vault book
