[TheDirtyDigger]

Finally something to post about!:rolleyes:

He is, as the French say, c'est magnifique! At least I think they do....:confused:



Pristine condition box as well. The pic doesn't do it justice at all.

Only $65 USD at auction. Sadly shipping was an extra $35 USD. (Just checked and his actual postage fee was $25.68. He did pack it nicely though I guess)

I'd love that Hauler too but haven't seen it cheap enough yet. Also the evil minibots would be cool.

[Bartrim]

From the Parra fair I picked up Energon Downshift and G1 Blades.

From phantom zone Parra Reign of Starscream 1-4

From The_Damned G1 Groove

From fatbot Encore Omega Supreme

From K-Mart Batemans Bay Universe Prowl (thanks to The_Damned for the tip off. Also I was trying to hold off for Henkei but for Prowl I just couldn't wait)

I've taken pics but the camera runs out of battery before I can load the pic up on photobucket.

[gamblor916]

Universe Sunstreaker from Kmart sale, leaving just a lonely Prowl on the shelf.

[STL]

Argh, Icey! There are better comics to get. That was one train wreck of a comic. :(

[valkyrie_76]

Received a complete G1 Galvatron.
Already have one but was missing the orange barrel and it was cheaper to buy the complete one than buying the barrel by itself.

[iceburn]

Argh, Icey! There are better comics to get. That was one train wreck of a comic. :(

it was cheaper than retail price so i aren't worried.
thanks for the info update on the other thread

[1orion2many]

:)Forgot to post that I picked up SDCC Nemesis Prime and Henkei Megatron last week from Kyle:D.

[TheDirtyDigger]

My woman just bought Blaster and Heavy Load and brought them into work for me. I feel special. Seeing Heavy Load though is a bit disappointing as I remember not too long ago that him and Vector Prime were the last of the Cybertron Shelfwarmers.

[Robzy]

Just picked up Universe Sunstreaker... I couldn't wait! :o It's an excellent figure tho!

[fatbot]

[TheDirtyDigger]

Proof.

Both of these figures have really deviated from what Classics have meant to me as a collector and wont be displayed with their brethren. Really disappointing in a vague, existential way I can't quite articulate with these tears welling in my eyes and this lump in my throat. Damn you to the 7th level of Hell Aaron Archer for scarring my man-childhood like this.

[Trailer Park Ninja]

I was never interested in Classics Voyager Heavy Load or Blaster (especially Blaster!!!). Dirty Digger's disappointment validates my judgement in not purchasing these two.

[Pulse]

Proof.

Both of these figures have really deviated from what Classics have meant to me as a collector and wont be displayed with their brethren. Really disappointing in a vague, existential way I can't quite articulate with these tears welling in my eyes and this lump in my throat. Damn you to the 7th level of Hell Aaron Archer for scarring my man-childhood like this.

So why'd you buy them?

[GoktimusPrime]

So why'd you buy them?
+1 QFT. I would take them back for a refund/exchange/store credit.

[gamblor916]

Encore Omega Supreme finally arrived.

[TheDirtyDigger]

They're going into the main forces of my 'bot and 'con armies.
They're just not fit to stand with the Classics.:)

[Paulbot]

Picked up the fourth TF Animated cinemanga comic today for $12. This one adapts the first Blackarachnia episode and the Soundwave episode.

:D :

And I picked up those Superlink Scouts from Golden Phoenix yesterday too.

[griffin]

A few items I got last week:

http://www.otca.com.au/0808b.jpg

First four Marvel TFs - Spiderman, Hulk, Venom, Ironman.
Robot Heroes - Hound, Blitzwing, Sunstreaker, Galvatron, Rattrap, Megatron, Cheetor, Blackarachnia.
Animated - Prime Blaster, Cyberspeed Bumblebee, Sentinel Prime, Swoop, Patrol Bumblebee.
SDCC Titanium Skywarp.
Universe - Blades, Dropshot.
JP Vadia Red Starscream.

And yesterday - Animated Ultra Magnus and Henkei Crystal Convoy.

With almost 300 figures since the last major update, I spent several hours over the last 2 days updating my collection page with all new photos and names. The collection is almost as much work as it is fun... :p

[Pulse]

Looking through your collection pics Griffin, I seriously don't know how you find the room for more display cases/cabinets...
(I guess when it comes to TFs, there's always room for more :D)

[i_amtrunks]

Thats one big lot to pick up Griffin, you use a crane to load that into the back of a flat bed truck? :p


JP Vadia Red Starscream.

How many overtime hours did that set you back???

[Soundwarp]

Where did the Universe come from?

[Gutsman Heavy]

MD-06 Shock... Shock... Shock... Waaaaaaaaaaave

Sadly no paperwork, if anyone has his bio card and doesn't want it...
I PAY CASH!

[GoktimusPrime]

Yeah no... but I can scan it for you if you want. :) (LMK if you want it translated into English too)

[liegeprime]

Thanks to Pulse for the sighting and getting me TFU 2.0 Sunstreaker.
Got Octane ( i dont care for the new name) and Prowl from local Kmart.

No worries Mate :) (I don't think you can get much more of a faster PM system than that :D)

[Vector Sigma 13]

Haven't posted for a while, so ill let the pictures do the talking:

http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/7091/newadditionsmb6.th.jpg (http://img522.imageshack.us/my.php?image=newadditionsmb6.jpg)

Ive also got a few animated deluxe figures not pictured: Ratchet, Bumblebee, Snarl.

Ive also got Henkei Rodimus(not sure if i put him in my last post?)

Im particularly fond of Encore megs. Guys at the store said they had about seven left then thats it- no more!

[Soundwarp]

Wow that's huge, Metro, Omega Prime, Ultra and i can't see the others........

[Vector Sigma 13]

Ive resized the pic now so hopefully you can see better- ive never used image hosting before.

[loophole]

picked up the prime t-shirt from big W the other day and tonight i found a megatron t-shirt with the words "robot revolt" at the bottom from target i'll try to post a pic of it soon cant be bothered atm

[TheDirtyDigger]

Well may the Lamb of God bless the eternal soul of one Aaron Archer for providing me with these divine homages of nostalgia immortalized for the ages in synthetic or semisynthetic polymerized product.

Loving them!


Haven't been bothered to open Octane yet as that giant comb just looks wack. Might find an arm from some other bot that can be attached.

Ha ha! It's just a weapon he holds. He's got two proper arms.

[TheDirtyDigger]

LOL!!!:o Ok then....going to open him now!:)

[liegeprime]

Yes digger he indeed has two combining double barrelled laser pistols which becomes a quad pistol. The giant comb is there in keeping with Hasbros fascination with "salon themed" weapons - remember Cyb Megs and his Hair dryer blaster?

[griffin]

How many overtime hours did that set you back???

That one (Vadia Starscream) wasn't too bad, I thought, at about US$139 I think. It had a slightly damaged box and window that wasn't noted on the listing (they used a stock photo, in that and another listing), but since it isn't unique packaging, it isn't a big deal for me. But would be extremely annoying for a sealed collector of a rare expensive toy.
But yes, a fair chunk of overtime was done to help me catch up on quite a few figures this month, including a number of expensive limited edition figures.


Where did the Universe come from?

BBTS. I got about 50 toys this month, and all were imported. BBTS is expensive with shipping, but a bulk buy like all that makes it close enough to retail here to make it more convenient. I really miss the hunt, but I don't like wasted trips to stores that either don't restock often enough, or have prices that are difficult for me to accept.
The last local purchases I made were Mudflap and Inferno at TRU some time in early July.
If our prices closer reflected the US or even HK prices, I would be happy to go out hunting, even if it meant coming back with just a solitary figure.

[swoop]

In the mail this week I got
armarda jetfire mib
cyb lugnuts x2
cyb armorhide
cyb undermine
cyb brushguard
cyb clocker

Some loose bots that were in the same auction. Suprisingly good condition - stickers, chrome etc...

[GoktimusPrime]

That Fireflight would be MISB, just that the B would stand for bag. :)

[autobreadticon]

Lol i love it!

haha coolness

That's the top I got today Mel. I would have liked one with just that Megs on it.

[iceburn]

I'm guessing you've converted him Mel? ;)

I didn't think he'd be able to hold out for that long... :D

Robot Heroes Rattrap vs. Megatron, Sunstreaker vs. Galvatron.

I like the red TF shirt from Big W, yet to find one though, left the Target Megatron one, was a bit meh.

[Pulse]

Huhh? what do you mean converted him? :p

And Icy what couple dressing?! *bish* :D

Well, You bought 2 T-shirts (one for you & one for him ;)) so I'm guessing your 300-odd TFs have baptised him into being a Transfan :D

I'm pretty sure Icy is digging at the same thing... ;)

[iceburn]
