Late, late night shopping and a BH Bumble has a new home

[Slag]

:D cracked open the champers too :p

Nabbed me a Playskool Energize OP from Target Campbelltown. Not much else there apart from a bit of BH Legions and Deluxe.

[SMHFConvoy]

Got home from work and the prid voyager Dreadwing had arrived from fishpond. $35 free shipping.

[Koroboo]

You actually got something from Fishpond?
I've heard so many horror stories about them they've been removed as a place I even look at now.

Though when I did order something from them years ago it did arrive OK :)

I've ordered Transformer products off them multiple times. So far majority of it has been perfect. Except one time the product never arrived, needless to say they refunded the money extremely quickly after I put in a claim.

[sideswipes brother]

I heard the same. I havent yet seen a positive review of them thus far so have avoided them bigtime.

I don't buy from them often but $35 for something that would retail for $50 here. The box was a bit dented other than that figure was in good condition.

[Zippo]

Excuse the dark photograph

Took advantage of a 30% of sale and got these.
My first Bot Shot and had to talk them into the discount of the Kreons as they were not technically included.

Paid for this in April but it arrived in May...

http://i460.photobucket.com/albums/qq323/llamasales/pdive_zps1ffba8c1.jpg

Pretty good! Love the "< DC" markings like on the original Decepticon Rotorforce duo.

Picked up an on-clearance PRID Optimus for $29. He's ok-ish...

Wow, it looks like the guns really are THAT purple.

I am tempted by that guy but I already have the first version. hard to justify a second. but it is a great mold.

[llamatron]

The guns are very purple indeed. From memory similar to the purple on the original toy. This is my first exposure to any version of this toy and it's pretty good.

[tjparkside]

One heck of an awesome haul tjparkside!

Thank you! Some fun to be had there! Cheers! :D

I'm probably the only person in the world who doesn't like the Animated Lugnut toy. :o It'd be alright as a Deluxe... I just didn't feel it was worth paying Voyager price for. JMO. ;)

Craphouse.* I can bring it to the next meet and you can have it if you really want. :)

--------------------------
*It's aimed at a young audience... I'm clearly not their target market. :p

[Sinnertwin]

Encore Black and Green Ratchet and Ironhide off The Black Sheep plus Skids and Screech two-pack and RiD Ruination online.

[Trent]

[Mythirax]

Received the t-shirt and Armada CD from griffin today. :cool:Thanks a bunch dude! :);)

Speaking of T-Shirts, I've noticed two of the Big-W's in Victoria I've been to this week have some new Transformer related clothing. Specifically in the western suburbs. Just plain grey shirts with Autobot logos and some random tiddly bits on them for $25~ from memory. Should of nabbed an image, maybe next time :P

[VERT]

Transformers Prime Kup and Rumble for me. $19.95 each for the two that I really wanted was great :D

[Koroboo]

Got a Takara MP-6 Skywarp arrive from the mailman this morning, looks fantastic in plane mode, I didn't quite get full time this morning to fiddle with the transform into robot properly... but it is a complicated beast at first.

[snaketales]

Received GDO Hot Spot and Powerdive yesterday from chimungmung. I had ordered them just before customs swooped on the shop and they apparently trashed the boxes checking they were legit (they were). In compensation I also received a Headmaster Optimus Prime.

Also picked up Beast Hunters voyager Shockwave last night and made my first payment for encore Fortress Maximus. Saw the box for that for the first time last night - good lord it's huge. How am I going to sneak that home?

[GoktimusPrime]

Finally came in today!

Your wife's not gonna notice that you've spent $300~400 on that toy? My wife notices if I so much as spend $7 on a Legion Class figure! :eek:

[Bidoofdude]

Nice, Gok! :cool::D

(You're right, the box makes it look like a KO :p)

[jazzcomp]

Fort Max headphone jack thanks to UltraMagnus. :D

(You're right, the box makes it look like a KO :p)
Did I say that? :confused: I think the box looks reasonably nice.

[snaketales]

Your wife's not gonna notice that you've spent $300~400 on that toy? My wife notices if I so much as spend $7 on a Legion Class figure! :eek:

Not if I stagger the payments on a fortnightly basis. :D

[theshape]

We have separate accounts, that helps. She doesn't know I spent 1k on a liokaiser :p

[Sinnertwin]

Prime Commander Dreadwing and Legion Ratchet from KMart.

[Bidoofdude]

Did I say that? :confused: I think the box looks reasonably nice.

It was some time ago, I think, or maybe someone in reply to you? :confused::D

[Trent]

Quite a few years ago now I managed to conceal the spending of $4K from my wife. (It was for a holiday). You're not trying hard enough Gok. Either that or you're a really bad liar :p

[Sinnertwin]

You concealed 4K and went on holiday without being noticed? :p :D Respect.

[Kazza]

I figured it was time I purchase the original cartoon movie while JB-HiFi had 20% off all dvd's and blu-rays.

[Ultra Mackness]

I like the art work on the cover there Kazza, is it a print of the cinema poster?

Gok, you're not alone, I'm fairly certain that my wife has somehow surgically implanted a "spending alert" chip in my head - she seems to know when I'm just thinking about spending money!

My acquisition comes from Robot Kingdom, Generations legends Optimus prime and Roller and Bumblebee with Blazemaster.

Great little figs (pics soon), but a touch confusingly, on the bottom of the package is the usual info about how the item is distributed in Australia by Hasbro Australia. I thought they weren't being released in Oz :confused:

[Koroboo]

In addition to my Skywarp this week, went and picked up MP Takara Rodimus Convoy today! (actually got a reasonable deal on gumtree).

Almost got all the MPs I want for my collection now...

[Paulbot]

I like the art work on the cover there Kazza, is it a print of the cinema poster?

It's Japanese (but I'm not sure if it's from the cinema release or their laserdisc release). I have a very large print of it for my wall.


... a touch confusingly, on the bottom of the package is the usual info about how the item is distributed in Australia by Hasbro Australia. I thought they weren't being released in Oz :confused:

We need an FAQ section as this is a "Frequently Asked Question". :) It's standard on packaging for Transformers in general and doesn't mean there's any intention for the individual toy to be released here.

[Sinnertwin]

It's Japanese (but I'm not sure if it's from the cinema release or their laserdisc release). I have a very large print of it for my wall.

Both, IIRC

[GoktimusPrime]

Quite a few years ago now I managed to conceal the spending of $4K from my wife. (It was for a holiday). You're not trying hard enough Gok. Either that or you're a really bad liar :p
It's both. I'm not into telling lies, and I really do suck at it if I try. I also suck at telling when someone is lying to me too. :(


Gok, you're not alone, I'm fairly certain that my wife has somehow surgically implanted a "spending alert" chip in my head - she seems to know when I'm just thinking about spending money!
Heh, tru dat. :) My wife's a former accounts clerk, so as someone who used to make a living out of tracking finances, there's just no pulling the wool over her eyes (at least, not for me). But to be honest... I wouldn't want to anyway. I basically just plan ahead when making large purchases. For example, the single most expensive purchase I've made since I got married was Encore Fort Max ($320* incl. postage) - I'd been gradually saving up for that toy since last October, so when the toy was shipped and we got billed, I just gave her the cash. :)

---------------------------------------------
*Making it my 2nd most expensive TF purchase ever - Brave Maximus still remains my most expensive at $400 incl. postage

[Ultra Mackness]

Found a couple of things at Toy kingdom this morning:

Rescue-bot-imus Prime at $10 cheaper than Target (couldn't resist :)). He's exactly the same size as the original Rescue-bots OP and looks almost exactly the same, except the autobot symbol is slightly different and all the clear blue plastic looks like form molded toothpaste!

The Kreo blind pack was just at the counter and there was only one so I picked it up. As luck would have it, it turned out to be Galvatron :)

All in all a very happy liege!!:D:D:D:D

[Tallestblue]

Ooooh that Overlord looks minty fresh!

[Soundwarp]

WOW!

[Sinnertwin]

Awesome haul, LP. :) Overlord *drool*

[Bumbleb33]

Beast Hunters Shockwave and Grimwing.

Grimwing is absolutely fantastic!

[Slag]

:eek:Nice one Liege.. That Overlord looks crisp, and a Detolf for Soundwave! I guess even Transformers need to display their Transformers.:rolleyes:

That display looks sweet too. Scorpy looks like he's having a good time.:p

[Slag]

We have separate accounts, that helps. She doesn't know I spent 1k on a liokaiser :p

doesn't she???:cool: :p

[stencilator]

Just received Generations Voyager Springer and Blitzwing. I'm a bit disappointed with Blitzwing (although he'll look pretty awesome in my display) but Springer is amazing. I haven't even transformed him yet, but his robot mode alone is perfect in my book.

Also got a Quakewave this month so I'll have to do a little display rearranging.... my favourite pastime :D

I hope you've never opened that door/wardrobe door into your shelves :D - Either way, awesome loot.

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

Got these little spankies in the post:

Stuncticon Bot Shots, Aerialbotshots Air Force, and kreon packs of the bots that came with those big sets. Woot!

Oh and japanese Prime Shockers

[liegeprime]

I hope you've never opened that door/wardrobe door into your shelves :D - Either way, awesome loot.

What do you mean? I always open that wardrobe door :D. It's got the boxes of some of the TFs that I keep, also there are shelves in there where I put my Comics in :D. I do open it gently hehehe.

[GoktimusPrime]

It's true, he does - I've seen him open that wardrobe door a few times. ;) My TF room wardrobe is full of TF apparel and TF packaging, as well as small PVC figurines and my crappy custom TFs. :p

[Robzy]

Picked up MP-16 today!

[Mythirax]

I just have a fear of opening those sorts of things into my collectibles. I've had someone accidently do it to mine before. Thus why I never keep anything near a door anymore :D

[Ae-Evolution]

My haul this month so far, also have an Energon Sledge that came with the wrong weapon :o

and these as well, only thing was when i opened them and was inserting them into Blaster i noticed that Ramhorn has been painted with the same stencil as the Decepticons and in a slight error has a decepticon logo on him instead of the Autobot one?:confused: has anyone also noticed this?

Sweet Haul there , Crankster! Excellent background if I may say so.

@ Mythirax: - did they knock your collectibles right off the shelf?

@ Mythirax: - did they knock your collectibles right off the shelf?

Sadly yes, it only broke a few mini-cons in the end though. Which were easily replaced. Thankfully.

[gamblor916]

Yep I'm getting it framed along with some other stuff once I get my act together.

Decided to pick these guys up. I love how optimus looks, but I'm not going to bother transforming him. Due to the stress mark horrors I hear of. Both of them are really lose though. Predikings wings fall down all the time, and ops legs are super weak. None the less, the look great :D

[crankcase76]

After seeing the posts on the new BH Predaking had to go to Kmart to pick this guy up :rolleyes:, and he is :cool::cool:.:D:D

[doublespy]

Sweet haul there U.M. Darn I just had to check this thread before going to sleep :mad::D

Jealous of those who got their Ultimate Predaings! Can someone offer some thoughts on him or perhaps a review?

[liegeprime]

even removing the hauls your offloading UM it's still quite indeed an epic haul :D... Im soo going to my local Kmart tomorrow. I want that giant Dragon!!

[GoktimusPrime]

Decided to pick these guys up. I love how optimus looks, but I'm not going to bother transforming him. Due to the stress mark horrors I hear of.
:confused: I've had no problem w/ stress marks in transforming him or playing w/ him at all. I think the stress marks come from the holes toward the front of the vehicle when people insert the launchers there. I tried inserting it once, but it wasn't gonna fit unless I forced the suckers in, so I just gave up instead. :p But you can plug the launchers into the holes on the sides of the trailer section (i.e. the wings) as they're made from that really soft almost rubbery like plastic. I've had no problems with plugging the launchers into those holes at all.

[Slag]

EPIC MEGA HAUL!!!

Na, Liege. Picked this guy up from Penrith Kmart.

[liegeprime]

It's alright. Went to Parramatta Kmart today after night shift, and was rewarded with an Ultimate Predaking on them shelves. There were only 3 and 2 of which are on the top shelves, so I poked at em to select which looked better.

[GoktimusPrime]

nice stuff, i assume you didnt pay secondary market price for the g2 ramjet?
The seller originally wanted $30 for it, I tried haggling and he brought the price down to $25, which I wasn't willing to pay... then Starscream77 worked his skills and brought it down to $20, so it's not a terribly inflated aftermarket price*. It comes with both fists, both wings, both stabilisers, both missile launchers and the landing gear. It's missing the f'ugly oversized G2 missiles and voice box which I really couldn't care less about. So really, it comes with all the accessories that I would want.
-------------------------------------------------------
*G2 Ramjet would've sold for over $20 when it came out in 1993, so I'm paying below original RRP.

[theshape]

oh yeah great price!

@ Nexusnixx: It was priced at $80 each, but managed to haggle down by only $10 so $70 each. He had 3 but I couldn't afford all three in one go :(. Deceptic Optics said he bought his 7 last year from the same fella for $50 I think IIRC, so that got me down a bit coz I bought mine quite overpriced then, but its all done, no need to cry over spilled milk. Besides I only need 2 more since Ive already got 1 I bought previously. I just need 3.

Assuming from what Deceptics had said this guy must have a few more in stock, hopefully next fair he is there again with a few more Sentinels. How many are you after? prolly just PM me a few days before August 18 so I can remember and check and prolly I can buy for you if ever and just post it to you - hopefully end result still cost less than ebay.

@Crankster: oooh nice Abominus!!

So here's some new stuff I got from big Bad Toy Store (and K-Mart)-
Generations Springer, Transformers Go! Hunter Optimus Prime, Predaking,Generations Blitzwing (Don't you mean Blitzving? AHAHAHAHA!!) Beast Hunters Ratchet, Generations Legends Optimus Prime and Roller, Generations Legends Bumblebee and Blazemaster, Beast Hunters Abominus (Hun-Grr, Airrazor, Twinstrike, Blight and Rippersnapper) Beast Hunters Skystalker, Beast Hunters Dreadwing, Beast Hunters Commander Class Trailcutter and Hardshell.

fyi Predaking is the only toy from K-mart. Which is shame. It's practically criminal that kids won't get the awesome new generations toys.

Generations Springer, Transformers Go! Hunter Optimus Prime, Predaking,Generations Blitzwing (Don't you mean Blitzving? AHAHAHAHA!!) Beast Hunters Ratchet, Generations Legends Optimus Prime and Roller, Generations Legends Bumblebee and Blazemaster, Beast Hunters Abominus (Hun-Grr, Airrazor, Twinstrike, Blight and Rippersnapper) Beast Hunters Skystalker, Beast Hunters Dreadwing, Beast Hunters Commander Class Trailcutter and Hardshell.

fyi Predaking is the only toy from K-mart. Which is shame. It's practically criminal that kids won't get the awesome new generations toys.

Did Springer and Blitzwing ship now from BBTS? :confused:

[llamatron]

BBTS received an initial small batch of Springer/Blitzwing and only filled very early orders. The vast majority of people are still waiting on the next shipment which supposedly will be arriving to their warehouse this week.

[Bidoofdude]

Sorry. Thought he had the later shipment. :o;)

Still waiting on mine. ;)

[Sinnertwin]

Armada Starcream, Cyclonus & Hot shot. I'm surprised to see Hotshot's LED gimmick still working straight out of the box even after 10 years. And not an ounce of battery leakage etc in the compartment

That's very cool. (Although it has to be Micron Legend Hot Shot. If it's Armada Hot Shot lighting up, the reason there's no battery leakage is because it's magic. :cool:)

Still waiting on mine. ;)

I'm waiting even longer now. I cancelled my order of blitzwing/springer for the order of blitzwing/springer/sandstorm x2 4 pack they put up recent. A little longer wait, but ultimately better to get sandstorm fairly cheaper than ordering him alone later, and I'll be able to offload the 2nd sandstorm to someone when I get them too :)

It's the same toy you were asking about here (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showpost.php?p=356059&postcount=371).

I see. It could possibly be the best Generations style Soundwave there is.

Got it with UFO hands and chrome Cubex guns + smokestacks. Love him.
Some defects on mine though:
1) missing red flames on blue part of his left chest
2) original right hand kind of have a minor split in the middle making it not able to hold weapons tightly. Using UFO hands so doesn't matter
3) got 2x left cubex smokestacks didn't worry about it though still looks amazing
4) on one of the cubex guns the bit when you attach the blue flap fell off because the screw on it is too short (bad qc)

They are all pretty minor though doesn't affect the look of the figure.

[Cat]

My month so far: BBTS order arrived with- Gen. Springer
Gen. Blitzwing
Gen Legends Optimus
Gen Legends Bumblebee
FP Car Crash

Then I spent a bit at the local Toyworld, seeing they had in all that cheap DOTM stuff. I got DOTM deluxe Specialist Ratchet
Darksteel
About 5 of the RPMs, which are from the 2009/2010 lines
All 4 Kreo Combiner sets
All 12 Kreo Microchangers wave 1, and doubles of a few like Springer and Dirge.
Prime Legends Twinstrike


I think that's it so far.

I've got some really cool stuff coming, but I think it'll slip into June by the time it arrives.

[GoktimusPrime]

Hey ILikeSoundwave, did you get the PMs I sent you last week?

[liegeprime]

From Ebay.

BH Grimwing

nice figure, could use a bit more poseability for the wings unfortunately - as it doesn't spread out. NO rubbery plastic parts, hmmm. That's good I guess. Comes with Blackbeak which is apparently his weapon and is a semi sentient drone /companion. Reminds me of G1 AM targetmaster partner gimmick.

This sketch card arrived today. It's from this year's Breygent set. Don't know much about the cards, but liked the sketch.

Not sure who the artist is, sadly.

I've only just noticed that he has a little bit of a Pat Lee DW v2 style bubble proportions. Ah well.

http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m80/KJ_81/KGrHqRrgFGNJKYuY2BRkkCVGJ2w60_12_zps82ad784a.jpg

Another eBay purchase also arrived: an Ironhide Kreon. I finally have one, after being ripped off TWICE on eBay for one. Technically 3 times as one seller screwed me twice.

It looks too good to be Pat Lee (seriously - that artist at least has a sense of proportions and linear perspective). Possibly Pat Lee influenced, but it ain't Lee's. ;)

He knows it's not Pat Lee - it has a signature. Cat just doesn't know who "EAD" is. (Neither do I, unfortunately.)

Well spotted! And that's interesting - he's the guy who did the good art and lettering on two of the pages of Verno's Beast Wars comic.

Anyway, This is all I've acquired in that time...

About my MP-16, I ordered it from an online store when it was released in mid-March. About a week or so before that, I updated paypal with my new address (this online store only takes payment via paypal). So what did this online store do? They posted MP-16 to my old address! The package ended up being returned to the sender (it took two bloody months!) & they got it back about 10 days ago. They re-posted it & my MP-16 finally arrived yesterday. So I ended up waiting 2 & a 1/2 months in total for my MP-16. All I can do is shake my head...

[Sinnertwin]

Blitzwing looks extremely proud of himself...

[jazzcomp]

Springer the Kreo version :)

[Cat]

Elmer Damaso?

So it is.

Thank you!!

I checked out some of his other pieces. He's got a really neat style. Cartoony, yet detailed, with a nice sense of fun to them.

Whoa, nice. That's a really gorgeous card! I noticed a lot of the sketch cards on ebay recently and some of the artwork is absolutely killer. Also, Cat, pls post your RH hardcopies when they get here, I can't wait to see them. :D

Only picked up one little thing this month. I had it sitting in my watch list for aages and thought, why haven't I bought this yet?

http://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/tinyJazz/may1_zps4877e864.jpg

Oh yeah, I forgot to leave feedback the last time I bought something from the seller, but he was still cool about it. All I need now is a loose one. 13 to go. :D:D

whaaaaaaat? You're crazy. :D He looks awesome. I'm really tempted to get one, I've just never dealt with that store before. Did it take long to arrive?


Oh, nice one, congrats! I think I only need this one and Megs w/ mace to complete my MOSC HoC collection. ;)

Thanks! :cool: There's another one on ebay right now. Also I think there's a knock off of Megs, but I'm not sure if it's carded.

Hehe, I think being a little crazy is a necessary prerequisite for a MISB collector. :p I always buy a loose version of a toy that I really like, though, so if/when another Quakewave crosses my path I'll probably get it.

It didn't take too long to arrive - one to two weeks - which is about standard for First Class USPS mail. This was my first purchase from them; I found the service to be quite good and the price was reasonable, so I will probably buy from them again.

Oh yep I see it, cool. I didn't know they made KOs of this line? Anyways, I'm after the MOSC ones first, so that should help identify the genuine ones from the KOs.

[Cat]

Also, Cat, pls post your RH hardcopies when they get here, I can't wait to see them. :D



Oh I will be.

One's an absolute grail for me. It was a grail in test shot form, never could have dreamed about a hardcopy.

Just a pity that the gun's broken.

I'm talking with someone about casting it and sculpting a replacement gun to put on the cast. Not sure if I'll go through with it, as I'm petrified of damaging it.

Oooh you got the Energon cubes as well! It comes with an insert for the chest of MP Soundwave. Don't loose that , it's actually pretty cool - it has glow in the dark feature which they didn't mention in marketing it - I only discovered and noticed when I turned off the lights of the TF room and it was showing a faint glow, awesome when you have it on Soundwave's chest. unfortunately I tried to catch a photo but it's not glowy enough to be captured.

You should be okay then, I can't remember exactly, but it might have been the SCF versions of Megatron and Optimus. Anyway, cheers for all the info, I might look into ordering from them in the future.
