kelvinchang99....I might have to take your offer on that too. There isnt much I want but its a bugger to find and find it at a good price.
Also just found out that my house got broken into last night but luckly they didnt take much. Looks like they left all my G1 TF collection, HDDVD/Bluray discs and thousands of dollars of Anime cels which I am really glad. Looks like they took a black money tin though with over $200 and two passports which is going to cost $600 to replace but I wont know till I get back home on Friday *sigh*

:eek:THUNK! THUNK! THUNK! (head hitting the desk)

Many times I also spent heaps more than what I came across later. At the end of the day you get the toy you want. You can always make more money later, but you can't always find the same toy again. Cheer up. :)

Hi guys,

I couldnt afford the crazy prices going for a Raiden set these days so went with a Diaclone version that I spotted at a good price. Worked out better actually as it comes with 6 drivers and the rails that the later released versions dont have. Stickers not applied on this figure but are included. The seller told me its complete and only missing 1 instruction for one of the figures. Anyone see anything else missing. The 2 guns on the leg is there, I just didnt attach it for the pic.

So, it finally arrived after much anticipation.

Valkyrie, sorry to hear that man. Gotta be careful, there are a lot of breakins lately in Sydney. Time to up that insurance policy.

Kyle, even you get burnt and you are the source of info and contacts. So orion, I wouldnt worry too much. I have had thoughts I paid too much for a figure but in a couple of years, I end up knowing the figure I got was cheap compared to today's prices. Like Kyle said, its the toy you want.. Money will come and go.

Skystalker, A Grail Item for me since it was such an ordeal to get him. He is not perfect however, I still need to fix a broken wing and the main canon's stand is missing but overall I am just happy to get it after three failed attempts.

2x Titaniums Skywarps (one for Dirge)

1x Stranglehold (thanks to Griffin for the gun)

Assorted Micros which I already have but came with Skystalker.

Kup, I'm guessing you couldn't wait (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=1706) on Warpy there... :)

Actually, I did. I only ordered them last week when prices became more moderate and after combining with Dirge the shipping price for each figure went down to something that I am very happy with.

Overall, I didn't pay much more than one would have for a retail Titanium in AU.

Anyway, waiting any more would have either caused the remaining figures to sky rocket in price as the supply diminishes. Also remember that since it has been confirmed that there will be no retail Toy World release, it became the best way and time to do it.

Premium Jazz and Bumblebee. Have to wait for camera battery to recharge.

Both much nicer in their shininess than standard editions, especially Jazz, but Premium Bumblebee still doesn't hold a candle next to the brightly shining flame that is Lawson's Bumblebee.

Hey Gok,

The raiden diaclone set still wasnt cheap. This little piece set me back $600. It was expensive but the closest condition to this is an MIB set going for 3 times the price on eBay and I havent seen one under a thousand for a few years. Reprolabels is a great idea. I dont really want to use the original labels. Thanks Gok.

Anyway, like Kyle says, the toys maynot come around again.

Encore Ratchet and Ironhide with their new heads. I've gotta say it makes them look much better although the heads cannot rotate left or right. I also love how they can be folded when the figures are transformed back into vehicle mode, making it look like totally part of the figure itself. :)

Nothing too spectacular, as it is all current items, from Universe, Animated and some JP figures.

Animated - Rollout (Supreme sized) Optimus, Grimlock, Lugnut, Snarl, Oilslick, Soundwave with Laserbeak, Jazz, Activators Optimus, Activators Lockdown, Activators Ratchet.
Universe - Onslaught, Powerglide, Blaster with Blockrock, Heavy Load with Drill Bit, SDCC Nemesis Prime.

From Illamatron and courtesy of courierin' Iceburn:
- Energon Bruticus Maximus: the limbs are slightly different colours to the Superlink ones. I think the only one I like more is the yellow tank which fits the Swindle motif much better. However, I don't like the Energon weapons colours. They're not as bright and vibrant as the Superlink colours. But I had to get it, my favourite modern combiner.

"Prime takes cover against 2 Destron Leaders..."



I forgot just how many twist-ties are included in a Titanium figure... :rolleyes:



That Prowl is replacing my first one who's paintjob went to sh#t & is now long gone...

I heard my first Prowl was part of a batch with very dodgy paint & this one's paintjob looks really nice :)

Still, I'm gonna let it completely dry for a week before I transform it.



Oh & Galvatron, he can be a b#tch to transform for the first time but now that I've figured him out, I like him alot... :)

They can be found on ebay for around $50 each. Sounds expensive but its actually not a bad price as other Max Accessories go for much more.

The Master Sword alone can reach up to $700

$700 Thats crazy, as cool as that sword looks at that price I might have to give it a miss, or possibly track down a KO. $50 each for the Fort Max Guns doesnt sound to bad, alot better than $700 :P

Anyway, after seeing pics of him on Tfans many moons ago, I just knew I had to acquire him one day...

& here he is... :)

http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn204/Pulse_Warrior/Acquisitions/Notaverycreativename.jpg

The box states "Made in Japan" but I've got no idea when he was made... :confused:

http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn204/Pulse_Warrior/Acquisitions/Justalittlebitsmallerthana2008can.jpg

the colours are very vibrant & it seems as though he's hardly been played with (not that I'm complaining :))

http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn204/Pulse_Warrior/Acquisitions/Notmuchofawarrior.jpg

to transform him, You pull on the tab which makes his head, arms & legs pop out. Then you extend his arms, extend his legs & fold his leg panels around.

He's got articulation in the shoulders & elbows but the only thing he doesn't have is a gun... :D (which means he's of no use to Prime or Megs :p)

Overall,
I really, really like him - He's awesome! He'd have to be one of my favourites (I bet you can tell :D)

I'm guessing not that many TF people are interested in him but if any Sydneysiders would like to see this guy at the Parra Fair Meet-up, Let me know & I'll bring him along... :)

I think the chest is a bit different to the older figures as well.. but i'm the opposite, SilverDragon, i'd prefer the faceplate up head of llamatron's figure)!

They're awesome but Meg's head is ever so slightly off - it's a bit too squashed. Still, they look gorgeous in person.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiice.

I know the heads are supposed to be show accurate, but I prefer the original's heads to these. Mind you, I've seen neither in person. :p

I personally like the new heads (and paint job) much better than the original. That also goes for Primal's Gorilla head which looks more realistic and menacing.

Whoever resculpted those figures did and excellent job and Hasbro did an awesome overall job with the 10th anniversary line.

You're joking right? hasbro did a pathetic job with the 10th Ann line. It was as if they were painting them from memory. The people at Takara however, very nice.

I got the hasbro ones just to get the bits to Transmutate but have since sold them and got the Takara ones which are superb, plus the incentive of Tigatron and Black Arachnia which Hasbro didn't do.

I agree with Verno. The Hasbro BW reissues were fail.
I bought some Transmutate parts 2nd hand from people who got the reissues but didn't want the parts, I picked up Waspinator (he's the only Hasbro reissue that I thought was okay) and I grabbed Dinobot for the Transmutate part and sold the toy off to kuzzy. :p I got the Takara reissues of Dinobot and Cohrada and they are niiiiiiiiice. It's cool how they come with DVDs too. :D The animé-nerd in me gets off from listening to a lot of the famous voice actors in the Japanese dub (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aq2niGcjF0c) (especially those from Weiss Kreuz like the bishilicious Koyasu Takehito!) :D

When it comes to the BW 10th Anniversary line, I really don't mind them. I know that Takara did a much better job but Hasbro's were still rather good in my oppinion and I prefer their paint jobs more than the originals even if Hasbro did not do them no where near as cartoon accurate as Takara.

Got to say the G1 Hot Rod is in good shape! Still looks like a pretty new figure, if it weren't for the the sticker peeling a little on the leg and the original character card and the 1985 printed on the figure, I would have thought it was a reissue!

I've heard this 'lost mould' rumours shite before. They said that they'd lost the mould for original Rattrap, thats why they released the TM version.

Has anyone checked with the BotCon people? It seems that whatever glorious BW figures get spat on for that convention the mould then dissapears. And now the same with Ravage.

(Although the Ravage one dissappearing might not be so bad, for those of us who have one, cos now they're worth more :P)

Welcome to the club! I've gone through 2 or 3 Sinnertwins, and I should have remembered to tell you about it.
For the next one, here's the fix: Disassemble the toy and file down either the sides of the chest cavity, or the sides of the head piece.

Very awesome that Polar Claw. Him and B'Boom are too on my get list but I never seem to get around.

And Icey, I've been through 3 myself. It annoys the hell out of me. But glue should work yea? It worked for me though it took a lot of patience for it to set. The last time I transformed it no problems at all. Though that has been over a year now since I've even seen that toy.

nah..the head's totally busted.
i've got the bits and pieces still and i'm wondering if lcz could have a look and fix it back for me...
gonna take some steady hands to repair that..
we'll see, meantime i'm hunting for another

Have you looked in Bunnings for some high quality superglue? (One with a bonding agent)

I can't remember which brand I've got at home but as long as you follow the instructions to the T, It bonds the parts together perfectly... :)

- GF Soundwave: very happy w/ the paint applications on this one compared to the Hasbro one.

Even more so though I love my certificate of authenticity as well as the pic that FFN came up with. It made it one of my favourite packages for the year as I pretty pissed myself laughing though my girlfriend had no idea what was so funny. :D

Just because P#% L@$ used Dreamwave's funds to buy himself a Porsche instead of paying his Artists' wages doesn't mean he deserves to be the b#tt of jokes for all of eternity... (What am I talking about? Of course he does :D)

Thanks to the damned's great sighting, I just nabbed these on sale:

http://lindalane.com/temporary/tf/DSC03978.jpg

I picked through and choose the ones with the best paint jobs, but I'm admittedly not that excited. I've already had a play with Sunstreaker and Prowl. Blaster seems ill-imagined. The only one I'm excited about is Heavy Load, as recent repaints have been my chosen method of acquiring Cybertron molds which I'm enjoying.

26th August 2008, 05:25 PM
Nice Jd. :)Conversely, Heavy Load is the only one I'm not excited about as he is the only one in this lot that isn't a G1 homage. Can't wait to grab the rest though!!:)

What's Weetabix? Is that the NZ version of Weet Bix? But I thought Weet Bix came from NZ (isn't Sanitarium a NZ company)? Or do Sanitarium use different names for this product between the NZ and Australian markets? Hrmmm... *rubs chin*

It seems like everyone scored something today :D & so did I... ;)

2 packages arrived today. The first one brought me some Beasties...

which has filled my Beasties shelf right to the brim...

while the second package delivered a whole bunch of Seacons...

which IMO look miles better than the upcoming "G2" ones :)

It looks pretty solid. The pieces I compared (from the window) to the Monsterbot and seem to be a replica in every way... Damn, you are encouraging me to open it and find out.. I will give it a day or 2 to sink in. The entire box is quite heavy too. Compared to the real Dinoking, its a replica only some colours on the Dinosaurs are different by being slightly lighter.

Hey, I just did some research.. You seem to be right these are post. They are unfortunately KO versions or Taiwanese versions.. Oh well, guess you win some and loose some. It means I can open this up then... :)

I really didnt know.. Oh well, at least its a good enough replica of the Dinoking.. I just wanted something for that set without having to pay the $2,000 price going on eBay.. So this is good enough in the collection :)
