Was off sick on Friday and there was a knock at the door - IDW case of 4 came (BB, Megs, TC & Orion Pax). What a great way to help pass the day! Expecting in the next week or so Takara Go Smokescreen.

IDW Megs is a particularly impressive figure. Although now I want the Takara version, so much more comic accurate. And Hoist. But dammit, those pre-orders seem to be sold out everywhere. Dropped the ball there. :(

Great pickup Iriorne! One of my favourite figures from my favourite subline.

Figured out why my RK order has not yet arrived, I purchased them with MP Prowl back when it was supposed to have a late July release. Guess I'll be waiting till October to see them all. :rolleyes:

HLJ has both in stock for pre-order, but only in the double packs with Orion and Trailbreaker respectively.

Cool, thanks for that info. Checked it out, the price is around the same as RK for the TG-25 but can't justify shipping on just that item, will push the total cost higher than I'm willing to pay. Also not interested in another Trailbreaker or a Takara Hoist, will be happy with the Hasbro version of Hoist.

I'll ask my friend to keep an eye out, he gets a lot of Takara stuff from AmiAmi and also has a decent size POL going at BBTS at the moment. If he's willing to hold onto it until they get new stock of Hoist I'll ask him to add it to the pile.

Thanks again though, I appreciate it.

Hasbro Masterpiece Soundwave (x2): Awesome figure. Unfortunately one of my Frenzy/Rumbles is missing a pin that holds his head onto the "neck" point, so I've emailed Robot Kingdom.

SDCC Titan Guardians box set: biggest. piece. of. shit. ever.

Seriously, the Heroes of Cybertron line had better paint, better materials, and didn't come across as a hollow vinyl shell with piss-poor paint. I wasn't expecting much, but goddamn was I disappointed.

Today:
A so-far unopened box, containing a G2 FoC Combaticons set, a Henkei Ultra Magnus, and a copy of Aliens VS Predator 2 + Expansion set for PC...many hours of retro head-eaty goodness to come. Many thanks to Hursticon as always.:)

Yesterday: a set of 3 throwing knives, just for fun.

Late last month: a used copy of Star Wars: Jedi Outcast for PC from a Hobart op shop, and a bunch of mostly-loose Scouts/Power Core Commanders from last year. Thanks to Defcon for the latter.

That's a really nice toy. Arguably one of the best Leader Class figures ever made (more impressive considering that it's based off a cartoon design which always impedes on design/engineering). :)

So yesterday, I was minding my own business and all,
when suddenly there came a knock at the door...

To my surprise outside was a fellow,
by the name of Ultra Marginal who came to say "hello".

Inside he came and checked out the collection,
for a few hours he was here and liked the selection.

While we were talking about the series Animated,
he went to his bag and to me he said...

I got you this toy, I hope it's a fave,
it's white and its small, it was Electrostatic Soundwave.

Sure enough, as an unreleased toy I had missed it,
and many thanks to Marginal, no more prowling of ebay for it.

:D

(I couldn't believe he brought it with him just in case I didn't yet have it... noting that I had mentioned some time ago that it was one that I had trouble convincing myself to buy because it wasn't officially released. Now... I' seem to be having trouble convincing myself to get various Lucky Draw toys. :p )

Saying that you were a kid during BW makes those of us who grew up w/ G1 feel miiighty old! :p I'm really surprised you had Spittor when you were a kid -- to my knowledge that toy was never released in Australia (though I was living in Japan at the time, so admittedly my knowledge of the early BW stuff that AU got isn't first hand :o) -- they are both great toys, especially Inferno.

Spittor is a fantastic figure I think. The plastic isn't that clear except in the thinner parts like the webbing on his hands and a few other areas. Do you like the Transmetal Spittor? I think it's a wicked figure too, I love the hunched back and his head.

Haha, sorry man can't lie about my age. Cheer up though, we're all basically big kids here ;). I got him somewhere in Hobart waaay back when (I don't remember exactly, he was a gift of some description) so I'm pretty sure he was released in Australia!

That's cool that you met his voice actor! He was one of my favourite characters in the show. Inferno definitely sweet. He and Ravage were my favourite Predacon toys.

I think any bigger and it would be a split delivery. But I use UPS rather than USPS so I think they have more generous size limits.

There were a few other non-hasbro items in there besides what was pictured, the box was pretty tightly packed, everything came in great condition as usual, except for the 'Grimlock/Bruticus' set which was strangely soggy. Doesn't worry me too much since I won't be keeping the packaging but I'm sure it would piss some people off so I'm going to tell them about it anyway.

After watching the (sort of) end of TF:P I had the feeling that something was missing from my collection. Much like a few years ago after re-watching BW and realising I didn't have a (BW) Dinobot, I knew I needed my fav character to comemorate the conclusion of yet another TF cartoon series. So I bought this MOSC (from mightyape.com.au).
This is an awesome figure, and yes, I really do regret passing him up while he was busy peg-warming at my local KMart. Oh well. I think I was kinda holding off due to all the Beast Hunters toys - to see what characters were introduced in the show (predaons, thundertron), how the existing characters changed, how the series unfolded, etc.
I feel a bit ripped off that the BH toys had NOTHING to do with the show. Unless I missed something...
I mean seriously, what was with all those spikey autobots and predacon dragons?!?!?

I've been away a couple of weeks, so had a few packages to open. This is what I've got done so far.

First of all my commissioned sketch cards from AJ Sabino arrived. I can't even begin to say how thrilled I am with these. The guy is just an amazing talent. His prices are also criminally cheap (he wanted $6 a card. I paid more, obviously, but I believe I owe him more now, seeing how well they turned out!)

I highly recommend him, and I'm currently negotiating a new lot of work from him, including more cards and a full-size piece. Tell him Craig sent you. ;)

http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m80/KJ_81/TF_Cards_Web_zpsf8aa61a1.jpg

Then these bad boys arrived. I had to upload these with Imgur, as for some strange reason Photobucket refused to upload them, and kept erroring out on these particular images, no matter what I did to them.

http://i.imgur.com/ze1al5s.jpg

Gen. Sandstorm and the massive Metroplex, thanks to Amazon. I cannot overstate how big this box is!!
And finally, the SDCC Titan Guardians set. It is, quite frankly, horrid. NOTHING redeeming about it, and you'd be an idiot to buy it (hi!).

That's really sneaky.

I just had a look on eBay, and wow, such a huge flood of KO's. Were these produced by CHMS? I thought they were taken down some time ago, and from memory, their previous KO Fracture release was out of box.

This listing does not look like KO's, and a bargin considering that I had to pay $45 for my Fracture (shipped): http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Transformers-Movie-Allspark-Power-Crankcase-Breakaway-and-Decepticon-Fracture-/290959560987?pt=UK_ToysGames_ActionFigures_ActionF igures_JN&hash=item43be8a911b&_uhb=1

Honestly? whilst it REALLY pisses me off and I REALLY want a Fracture figure, I just couldn't be f***** to chase a refund in this particular instance. :o
As you put it CBratron, it was only $13 but I'll tell you what - If it'd of been say $25? it'd be a different story ;)...
I'd urge to reconsider your stance on not pursuing recompense (or at very least reporting the seller) for the following reasons:
+ $13... dude - you could almost buy a Commander Class figure for that! :eek: Also, it's not just the money, it's the principle IMO.
+ This seller relies on your inaction to survive. This time he's robbed you of $13... what's to say next time he won't rob someone else of $130 or $1300? Collectively this person could be making a lot of money through deceiving people.

The overwhelming response by all of you has convinced me to reconsider my poisition on this matter.

I have since forwarded a complaint to eBay regarding Seller: yilitec (http://myworld.ebay.com.au/yilitec/&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2754) for Item Numbers: 390634058735 (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Transformers-All-Spark-Power-Decepticon-Fracture-MOSC-/390634058735?pt=AU_Action_Figures&hash=item5af39ab3ef) & 390637435072 (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Transformers-All-Spark-Power-Decepticon-Fracture-MOSC-/390637435072?pt=US_Action_Figures&hash=item5af3ce38c0) and have entered into a PayPal Dispute seeking a Full Refund.

This probably isn't the place to do it, but I'd encourage anyone & everyone who's reading this to report this Seller & these items to eBay with regards to these Fakes/Knock Offs/Counterfeits - spread the word and help others to avoid the same mistake I made.

In your pic it looks like Metroplex's actually reaching his hand out of the box, an illusion I've never really noticed in photos of the box before. Metroplex want's some of the loot too I guess!

Luckily they are asleep now, so the unboxing and displaying can begin

So basically it's 5 months' (Mar~Aug) worth of acquisitions in one hit. ;) But I know the feeling of not really considering a toy to be truly one's own until it's in one's hands. :D On one hand, I'd like to tell you to take your time opening these toys so that you can properly savour each one and give yourself the time to properly play with them individually. But on the other hand... if it were me... they'd all be opened by now! ;) Toys don't stay sealed for long around me... I just lack the patience cos I have that "But I wanna play with it NOW!" instinct. :cool:

Either way, enjoy! :D

No pics yet, as I'll be getting another shipment by the end of the week, but today I received: Construct-Bots Ironhide, Starscream, and triple-changer Bumblebee

Botcon Rainmakers set (FINALLY A CLASSICS SUNSTORM!)

Gen Deluxes 'Thrilling 30' wave 1 - Orion Pax, Megatron, Trailwhatever, and Bumblebee

Kre-O Combiners wave 2 - Defensor, Abominus, and Piranhacon

And some Star Wars stuff: Star Wars Black 6 inch series 1, plus a few extras (can't wait to open them)

4 inch Black Scout Troopers x a couple (I have an addiction for them)

Of course, the day after I shipped this stuff out a whole lot of other preorders came in, so they should be here by the end of the week. I couldn't wait to get the new Generations volume.

They also had a couple of the older volumes on clearance. I already have them, but I grabbed them thinking somewhere here might want them, especially for such a cheap price. They're essential books for any collection, IMO.

As far as sizing is concerned. I think there was downsizing as BW went along from first iteration then on two BW metals on to BW metals 2 which is why the dragon megs got a smaller bot mode coz when you put it besides the "deluxe" during that time of it's release - it's big - leader class.

They're not the best in that respect. My last order with 3 items had two bits of that inflated plastic padding on just one side of the shipping carton.

Ditto, I'm always impressed by the thinking that padding on only one side will stop the other side being damaged...
My last shipment had several cd's as well and while nothing was noticably damaged, I think it was largely luck.


I work all day and have an 8 month old baby at home - if I get to one a night I'll be lucky ;) As it is tonight is pure cataloging, I have a feeling I've broken the 1300 mark :D

one a night is a good amount, otherwise you don't have as much time to appreciate them.
I sometimes only get around to one a week.

From Gok (in a supremely personalised and well packed box):
G1 Mirage. Great condition for its age, never thought I'd own one in this condition (especially for the price) due to the KO problems that exist. Very happy to have one of my long coveted toys on my shelves.

From Amazon:
Beast Hunters Dinobot Ratchet, Commander Shockwave and Trailbreaker
Classics Sandstorm
Kreon Abominus, Pirahnacon, Defensor
Kreon BH Trailbreaker and Windcharger mini sets
Constructabots Wheeljack, Soundwave, Ironhide and Starscream (Starscream has only 3 less pieces then Soundwave, yet is 2/3 of the price! :eek:)

Have opened some, need to go post thoughts on construct and Kreons now.

So yesterday, I was minding my own business and all,
when suddenly there came a knock at the door...

To my surprise outside was a fellow,
by the name of Ultra Marginal who came to say "hello".

Inside he came and checked out the collection,
for a few hours he was here and liked the selection.

While we were talking about the series Animated,
he went to his bag and to me he said...

I got you this toy, I hope it's a fave,
it's white and its small, it was Electrostatic Soundwave.

Sure enough, as an unreleased toy I had missed it,
and many thanks to Marginal, no more prowling of ebay for it.

:D

(I couldn't believe he brought it with him just in case I didn't yet have it... noting that I had mentioned some time ago that it was one that I had trouble convincing myself to buy because it wasn't officially released. Now... I' seem to be having trouble convincing myself to get various Lucky Draw toys. :p )

hey griffin, thanks for having me over.
I had a great time looking through your collection as always and chatting with a fellow collector is always a good time.

The Electromagnetic soundwave I was 90% sure you wouldn't have it, being it was never packaged for retail distribution. and it was the least I could do to thank you for all your Botcon efforts and post botcon shipping arrangments.

One day you'll have to visit my relatively meagre collection:D



That's rad. What an excellent guy. Soundwave too. :D

:o shucks. but hey it's the least I could do.

If you come over here while I'm around I'm all up for playing tour guide, otherwise check out Heroic Decepticon's toy shop maps (http://heroicdecepticon.blogspot.jp/p/heroics-toy-shop-locator-guide.html) for almost all the stores I know about.

Thanks as ever to HD for the heads-up.:)

Years ago, I paid a substantial sum of money for my original MIB Fort Max. Even though he was 100% complete, I always felt he was missing something. He needed his Master Sword. I really didn't want to get him a repro sword (I felt a repro sword was beneath him) but then TakTom re-issued him. Finally I could get him an official sword, a genuine sword.

Behold - his encore Master Sword:

& now he's officially complete. :)
