Looks like your right about it belonging to TFP Megatron. Looks like his Arms Micron.

Was that in the shipping box or in the figure's box?

The cheapest I've seen so far is $130 PLUS shipping... so I think you got a good deal, especially since you got a bonus black Micron, which used to be $20-50 (being store exclusives), but ehobbybaseshop seemed to have quite a few of them.

On ebay at the moment, the Shadow Microns are about $30 each or $50-100 for the set of four... so don't throw it away if you don't want it. You might get at least $10 here for it.

EDIT: Why aren't the pics working? What has Photobucket changed into?!

It seems you're using the URL tags, you just need the IMG tags like this:


http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m80/KJ_81/IMG_4756s_zpse97f404c.jpg

Just copy the "direct link" from photobucket and and paste using "insert image" in the reply tools.

Anyway,
Holy cow! Congratulations on getting that Prowl dude! That's got to be pretty exciting. :D He looks so good too.

Hi Guys,

I am still a bit of a n00b when it comes to Transformers collecting. So I think I picked up a great score at a Brisbane Target store this week. I was doing the rounds checking out what is what, then on an unrelated stand I saw a large DOTM box.

On further inspection it was a Supreme Class Jetwing Optimus DOTM...

The box was slightly water damaged, but at $49.00 I couldn't help myself. It is very cool, actually freaking awesome. Inside only thing not perfect was the transformation instructions.

http://holdobotvsfordacon.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Optimus-DOTM-Jetpack.jpg

So now a pic of full collection as it stands, I know it is little at the moment. But I am in the process of eyeing off a few different Ultra-Magnus figures to add to the collection.

http://holdobotvsfordacon.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Group-transformer-pic.png

So did I get a great deal or am I getting a little too excited?

Cant go wrong with $49. They were originally $169 on sale for $149 when they first came out at Target about 2 years ago. TRU picked them up also, but he kept many a shelf warm, still does in some stores. Fast forward to 2013 and considering a BH Voyager sells for ~$45 at Target, i think he's a really good buy, just take a look next to him at what $19 bought you. Check out some of the insane eBay prices when you have a minute

Yeah, have found some good ones, I just have not pulled the trigger yet, especially the new beast hunters ultra magnus which isn't here yet. Looks like I can get that for so much cheaper that when it comes here (if at all)

Hey guys, been a while but ive been getting bulk amounts of stuff since last time. Just never got around to showing it off.

Recently picked up this Soundwave soap, was supposedly MISB but wasnt when i recieved it, so got half my money back. Cant complain about that.

Now i can do the whole bathroom package again after 25 years

Also picked up a G1 Trainset that i won on ebay, it isnt complete. Missing the carboard buildings and a few of the generic robots. So if anyone can help me out with finding those i would be very appreciative.

I haven't bought much for awhile but saw a Legions Fallback at Woolworths at Frenchs Forest when doing grocery shopping so I picked it up.

There was a Knockout too but decided to only get Fallback as I keep a set of Legion figures as a play set for Fort Max and I believe Fallback is meant to be Outback?

Transformers Collection Vol 8, MTMTE #17 (to go with my digital purchase) and ReGen #92.

When ReGen was announced the last thing I would have ever expected was that a cover would have Huffer fighting Snarler. I don't think I would have imagined that ever appearing on any comic ever.

Re: Collection Vol 8. The Chaos issues by Ramondelli come out really well oversized on glossy paper. One double page spread gets a bit lost though. Also, the James Roberts issues with their smaller font sizes look great at this size too. Can't wait for a MTMTE hardcover or two (although there's been no confirmation of what, when or if Vol 9 will be coming).

Paul, are the hardcovers really worth it, i have always wondered if this format would better suit my bookshelf then the trades, in some instances i really didnt want to quadruple up on the comic...but i might replace/sell my TPB's

(i still think digital copies should be free with purchases IDW!!)

I'd say they are better value than the trades (this recent volume for instance reprints for trades for $50). They are well put together, nice quality paper. I like the way the look on the shelf. There is some gutter loss, and the inclusion of more covers as chapter breaks would be good, but otherwise this is my preferred hard copy format. I'm buying digitally for the most part since the delay makes it too hard to follow the series only this way.

I'm hoping that they reprint the Marvel series in this format too like they are doing with Marvel's GIJoe.

Yes.

Unequivocally.

The only downside is that you don't get all the covers. That may matter to you, or it may not.

They're better value than the tpbs, in a nice hardcover, OVERSIZED, and just make for a nice presentation when you have multiple volumes.

I absolutely love the two Premiere Editions IDW did, but they're TOO big to read comfortably.

These are the perfect compromise. Really.

I still buy the single issues, and the tpbs, and any other way they release the material, but it's the IDW Collections I turn to, without fail.

I forgot to list that my copy of volume 8 also arrived. Very nice, and I don't care what anyone says, I enjoyed this chunk of Costa's run the most (Chaos Theory of course, but also the Earth story circa 13-18, with the return of Megatron. It's really under-rated, IMO).

Besides the covers, I really can't see a single thing to dislike about them.

Oh wait. The idiotic chronology that they're organising the material, but that's not really an issue for current volumes, and you can always flit back and forth between volumes if you'd prefer. It was always a mistake to do the material chronologically, because some stuff is ambiguous, some just doesn't fit (looking at you, Spotlight Mirage), and because their reading order was screwed by the time the books were out, as it's not like the early days are never getting revisited.

Publication date would have been MUCH more sensible to start with. And that's what they have to do now anyway, unless they're going to release negative numbered volumes (although a volume zero would cover it for the moment, it'd be just as short-sighted).

My dream would be for expanded volumes in this format - Regeneration One would make a great single large volume, and I'd love to see them do two Dreamwave volumes. One containing the 2 and a half War Withins and the MTMTE profiles, and the other containing the two present day miniseries and the third ongoing volume, plus the summer special. It won't and can't happen, but even with the shortened material they can use, I'd be thrilled. Frankly, War Within 1 and 2 deserve the deluxe treatment.

And they could do Marvel US in 4 volumes, with an extra volume for RG1.

I can dream...

6 of the G1 Foils

3 of the Movie Foils/Puzzles

1 Sketch card - Cliffjumper, by David Girdley. No idea who the artist is, but it's a pretty nice piece

1 Autograph card - black Leonard Nimoy sig, as Sentinel Prime. #42 of 90. Couldn't ask for much more than that, I guess. I'll be selling it though, as I have no interest in Star Trek, so I'd rather sell it to someone who'll enjoy it, and I can get something I'll enjoy more

Also included was a relic card. It's..................a piece of DOTM Ironhide's tyre. Yes, that's right. His tyre. Hold back the crowds!!! Still, nice enough for what it is. I just have no idea what to do with it, as the card is super-thick, so it won't fit in any sleeve.

No problems for me with the packaging as it always comes with the big bubble wrap. Although my parcels are always in big boxes as I try to take advantage of the reduced shipping. But I have had smaller ones with the same quality, always bubble wrapped. Usually they have good quality packaging, and personally have never had any trouble that's why I use them.

Also got Hatchet for a good deal at Woolies, it didn't scan so I had to get a price check, I think it should have been $16-ish but I think the person checking the price was a bit apathetic because it came in at $7, not bad for a toy I think was scalped and I never saw in my area at the time it was supposed to be released.

After much searching I finally picked up YOTS Platinum edition Omega Supreme yesterday from Big W. He is an impressive looking figure. They went with a mustard colour instead of yellow, which I think works ok for the best, but the box art of the figure has yellow parts. So I think he really needs some yellow! Price was $98. Thanks Ravagecat for the sighting!!

Mine
Resealed FoC Starscream.
Real Gear Speed Dial 800 - I've been using a few real Gears in class for a lesson topic ("What's this/that?") lately and the kids love them, so I'm trying to get a few more. Japanese 10-year-olds can be rough on toys.
Kaiyodo Mass Production Evangelion. 2 down, 7 to go.:D
Perfect Effect Backpack for City Commander. Not really worth the cost but a nice addition to a still-beautiful set, especially since I have the first run without the vehicle-mode slots/holes for the missile launchers.

Eventual Sales/Trades
Loose United Scourge.
Resealed Arms Micron Thundercracker.
Resealed Animated Blackout.

Must go back and get one of the United Ratbats I saw but forgot to pick up, and an Arms Micron Thundercracker.

I got them off a fellow forum member but he got them from overseas so ultimately no.

Picked these up on Sunday at TRU chatswood. The small amount saved with the 20% discount over the cheap undiscounted price at Kmart wasn't worth the time stress and struggle of getting in and out of the shopping centre. when I could have picked it up at Kmart on Thursday night for maybe 4$ differnce each.

Ultimate Predaking for $20 from Target Parramatta.
They had them on 3 full shelves all with the Weaponizer shelf ticket. Once brought to her attention, the sales assistant agreed to the advertised shelf price.

Thats so cool.
