Got this guy at the end of last month, but with having used all our broadband up was not able to load the pic onto photobucket until today:


Behold the 5 (technically 6) in all their glory :D

Massive cheers to UltraMarginal, Goktimus and Sinnertwin who had all offered to try and grab one for me when he hit our shores :D Glad you guys will be able to concentrate on finding ones for yourselves without having to worry about getting an extra for muggins here out in the bush :)

For the record, your Girl Friend has a great sense of humour. :cool:

No worries, I'm so jealous, he looks fantastic. I grew up in country Victoria so I know what it's like not seeing things on shelves (I never knew there were transformers comics until I saw a G2 comic on a shelf by chance once in Sydney), or being hours drive from a proper department store. the owners of the little toyworld in my hometown still greet me by name, and I moved out in '97 to go to uni.

The Decepticon Fracture I bought from the UK turned out to be the K/O
pretty damn annoyed, but it's my fault for reading the comparisons wrong.

Nah picked him up locally, I too loved the weapon name, though it is not reflected in the instructions. I am not usually into garish colours but on this guy pink, blue and brown look epic!

Legally you're not at fault and still considered a victim of fraud. It's not necessarily your responsibility to know that it's fake, it's the seller's responsibility not to sell things that are unlawful/illegal. I reckon you should demand a refund... failing that, report the excrement out of that person-born-to-unmarried-parents!

I sent a message basically giving the guy a head's up that it's the K/O as moc the two are identical,asid from the "Only at walmart" sticker. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt basically.

Hardly worth mentioning, but my copy of the 30th Anniversary HC arrived today from Amazon.

I had pre-ordered it from my LCS, only for it to not show up in the week's order, and a note that the order wouldn't be filled, as Diamond was out of copies. This was on the day of release, and I had pre-ordered with my LCS the second it was on the system.

Oh well. Amazon had copies, of course, so I had to wait two weeks, but saved $20.

Thanks to Iamirondude... upgrade time for a few G1 figure hehehe :D

Misfire - just transplanting of a good part and viola, a complete good one... the old one has the left hip ratchet missing and also the thruster on the new got broken so a transplant was in order - all in the left leg - guess it takes from it's owner (me) having a bad knee on the left leg hehehe

and Slugslinger - my older one looks yellowed next to this new pristine grey figure I got heheh. I never noticed it before, til now that it's got one to compare with side by side - and yes that is a repro TM partner coz I cant justify paying $30-60+ for the original...

These guys are so cool! Hard to pose because of their back packs but totally sweet regardless.

Also got my first Gen 1 character figures. These guys are totally sweet looking, I am really impressed by the packaging and figures in general.

Yeah, I turn Rampage's claws down so that they can act as back supports. He actually stands better than Depth Charge though who's very much reliant on that third back supporting leg.

Yeah, I'm just trying to get a seller in Australia so I don't get boned on shipping but I'll probably just end up biting the bullet.


the backpacks actually can be used as stands - eg. Depthcharge's - bend the remaining tail piece to stabilize him standing straight... same goes for Rampage - cool haul there Zand.



Yeah, I turn Rampage's claws down so that they can act as back supports. He actually stands better than Depth Charge though who's very much reliant on that third back supporting leg.

Yeah, I pretty quickly found that using the tail as a stand was just about the only way to do it. I've found Rampage to actually be pretty decent at balancing on his own though. Pretty tempted to display him in tank/crap mode because I think they both look pretty sweet. One of the few transmetal vehicle 'modes' I actually like.


Oh yes! - Bloody well done Zand, very nice purchases indeed! :eek::D

Apparently? No apparently, he is brittle. Xman, if you're not sure what Liege means, Megs brown plastic is brittle, and is prone to breaking/shattering, much like gold plastics from G2 era figures. Takaras version of Transmetal Megs is alot sturdier.

Yeah, overall I'm not a huge fan of the Transmetal vehicle modes; but I agree that Rampage's is really nice. I saw Rampage on the show before I found the toy in stores (I was importing taped off TV VHS eps from the US at the time cos I was too impatient to wait for Channel 7 to air them - all those ads for The Nanny still haunt me :p) ... I remember when I first saw him appear and he transformed into the tank mode with the treads coming out, I thought that it was so cool but there's no way the toy would be able to do it. I assumed that the toy just had wheels and it was creative licensing from the animators to give it treads. You can imagine how pleasantly shocked I was when I did get the toy and it did have those treads! :D

TF Prime Voyager Shockwave tries to do the same thing but just doesn't pull it off nearly as well as Rampage did. :)


Thanks dude! :D I can't get enough of the Beast Wars line at this stage, I'm looking into getting a Scorponok but I don't know what I think of him yet.
I think it says a lot when 15 year old Beast Wars toys are still outclassing current day TF Prime Beast Hunters toys. ;) Makes you appreciate just how Beast Wars saved Transformers... after years of weakening G1 and G2 failing to boost the franchise, along came Beast Wars with these amazing figures that blew our socks off and gave us the 'Transformers Renaissance.' :D

As fans, we're often dreaming about G1 toys getting the Classicsverse treatment so we can have G1 toys with modern day engineering, but there isn't quite the same call from BW fans because IMO BW toys haven't become as 'dated' as G1 has. We are having new BW toys coming out in Generations for next year, but for the most parts the improvements are relatively minor; mostly cosmetic changes to make them look more like the show models. But the BW toys are still, for the most part, inherently just as good today as they were then. :)

I still love all the Beast Wars stuff, I really need to get my hands back on it all. They really are an amazing line.

As for today though, added some more vehicons to my collection and weaponizer prime has a couple of new buddies. I'm spewing the giant prime beast hunter thing, has such a crappy fluro red color to him. Would of looked so much better if they kept the red color from his non-beast hunter prime voyager.

[EDIT]: I absolutely love Weaponizer Bee. His posture, design, stance, face, all look amazing. He just has some weird hands, but facing them on his hips makes him so clean and tv show looking. Love him, first Bee toy I've liked from Prime.

Nice haul though. I don't own any Animated figures as they dont fit in with what i collect but think they are great.

It REALLY is an extremely sad sculpt isn't it? :confused:, I honestly feel a little depressed for him every time I look at him. :o

Cheers man, I was in the same place for quite some time until I bought Blitzwing... It's been a steady, but highly enjoyable, downward slope from there. :D

Alright, I tried not to go off-topic but I kind of have to know...what's the Tachikoma in the background there @Hursti?
I thought it was a Revoltech at first but the underside looks a bit different from mine.

Nice hauls.

RG1 #94 was another REALLY good issue, I reckon you'll enjoy it (and the GIG missiles!! Coolest easter egg EVER).

Classics Astrotrain - great figure, and I think it's a bit under-rated.

Octane - Bloody terrible. Can't believe it's getting the release in the new Decepticons 3-pack. I can't stand that toy.

Nice score though, and you can't exactly skip Octane either. Got to have him.

Animated Ratchet's expression instantly makes me think of the story of him losing a chevron. It's depressing. It's like the TF:A version of Fry's Dog from Futurama.

I might have an idea of where you could find one. Last time I was in HK (Year ago) I found an arcade where all they sold were toys and collectables. This is all from memory but Argyle street is it? Don't remember the exact location but it was around the end or the shopping district of the street.

Edit, maps can do wonders.

Thanks.:D They had plenty in this hobby store in Sham Shui Po. They had a life-size mark 42 iron man with lights and stuff as well, as well as Encore Fort Max, Encore Ironhide and Ratchet (about $24 AUD each) and Takara Generations Skywarp, Blaster and the Autobot Cassettes.

Happy to pay that much for Hot Spot anyway, about RRP here in Australia anyway and he is a good toy. :)

In fact, the whole area/suburb thing was filled to the rim with hobby stores. Plenty of Encore and newer stuff to go around as well. :D

Hi
The Sham Shui Po area u mentioned is it where it's a street of shops and they seem to be wholesalers selling not only toys but novelty items to decorations to other toys too?

As long as u r happy with what u paid for is good enough.

They're about the same, actually. Maybe just a tad cheaper, but not significantly. The real trick is finding legit Transformers in a freakin' ocean of KOs! :eek: But the place I'm at has a collectable toy store (the couple that runs it recognised me instantly when I walked through the door even though they haven't seen me in 2 years!). Hot Spot and Powerdive were both loose; Hot Spot is missing his missile and Powerdive missing his gatling guns. The missing missile doesn't really bother me that much, but it gave me leverage to haggle. :p So I ended up paying 450RMB for the pair of them, so each figure cost me about AU$22, which I think is okay for loose Voyagers. The missing missile doesn't bother me that much (it's only fifth version of this mould I've gotten! :rolleyes:); the gatling guns would be nice to have, but considering the price I paid (plus the benefit of owning it immediately) I'm not going to loose sleep over it.

Mighty Machine Men were indeed what they were known as here in Oz, more generally however they're known as Gobots. ;):)


Gobots!

Hehe, glad they've brought back some memories guys - Hopefully mostly good ones. :D

I really wanted to get a hold of a Crasher figure and thought I'd have to look abroad to do so, but a week or so ago she popped up locally along with Loco (A childhood favourite of my own + Steam Locomotive! :cool:) & Tux (A transforming Rolls Royce who's Bot mode dons a top hat? - Professional :p), couldn't believe my luck when I actually won the trio! :eek:

Gobots may of been the lesser of the 2 competing 80s franchises, but there is definitely some cool aspects to it & these 3 are shining examples in my opinion. :cool:

Great pickup with Tux Hursti, he's the machine man I always wanted! I think he was based on Baron Samedi, the voodoo lao of the dead, hence the top hat and eyes that look like glasses, and I think he was also supposed to be a hearse, at least initially. I couldn't find anything online re Baron Samedi being the inspiration so naturally I stand to be corrected, but it lines up with his use as a hearse!
