Nice figure. Has good articulation except for the leg but the Transformation is pretty superb.

After fruitless trips to the Post Office all week, I finally received my Encore Minibots from HLJ and SDCC Nemesis Prime, Henkei Rodimus, and two spare Longview (for Cosmos repaints) from Robot Kingdom.

HLJ's items took two weeks from the item has shipped notice, RobotKingdom's only took three days. Props to RobotKingdom.

I saw the paint on his doors on your one at the meet. It was sure poorly applied it looked dirty instead of white. Lucky that Reprolabels released stickers to make it for it for those who bought universe.

While I don't like the way AFA Grade the reissues, it was cheaper to get this graded one over a non graded one.

Due to its below-average paintjob :(, That particular Prowl has since been completely disassembled & sent to the Junkion Planet... & will soon be replaced by another Prowl arriving in my BBTS loot :)

Hey kelvinchang99, how much did you get your dai atlus for? I saw one instore the other day (Japan rocks!) going for about $415 AU... i have no idea what price it usually goes for (and wasnt about to spend that much regardless!)

kelvinchang99
2nd August 2008, 03:57 PM
kurdt, the dai atlus I got on special. It had a little rip on the box and also a little yellowing on the leg. It set me back $250. I thought it was a good price considering all complete.

Pulse, none of the ones you mentioned, but there are some exciting ones coming soon. I will update one tonight on another item I just picked up.

It was a really good price and I think the seller didnt know what it was and sold it to me. He thought he had a good deal and so did I.

I will update the surprise tonight.

Okay. As I mentioned earlier in my post, I picked this up at a bloody good price.

I think the seller didnt know about this product, and I thought it must have been a knockoff. On close inspection, Takara 1989 on all the bots.

Yeah, this one is a super score.

Awesome clip Pulse. No, I didnt get the breastplate animal partners. Forgive my ignorance, what do they look like and do they go onto Liokaiser in combined mode...

Thanks, I was very happy to get this piece.

They're not essential for Lio Kaiser mode but are a major part of the individual breastmasters themselves. Having a Breastmaster w/o the breast partner is like having a Targetmaster or Powermaster without their Nebulan weapon/engine. The breast partners transform from their breast plates into animals and their guns.

Thanks Gok,

Very detailed explanation and excellent reference. I do love the liokaiser, but I think these Breastmasters go for a bit. Oh well,... If I come across them, I will get them but I am sure they are rare as can be.

Thanks for the explanation.

I would never get a ~master if they were missing their binary-bonded partner. The only exceptions I make are:
1) Action Masters
2) Fortress Maximus - mine is missing Spike but he's not needed for Fort Max (just for Cerebros really)

...otherwise if I ever get a Targetmaster, Headmaster, Powermaster, Breastmaster et al., I would always make sure that they have their partner(s). I can deal with having most other accessories (although the 1988 Headmasters would have to have their helmets and head-guns) missing, but not the partners.

Picked up Transformers The Game for PSP during the weekend.
http://www.tycromedia.com/images/PSP%20Transformers%20The%20Game.jpg
Was pretty disappointed with the graphics especially since I just finished playing G.O.W. But then again it's still better than the other console versions cause it had different storylines as compared to the PS2 and DS versions. You can play as other characters like Shockwave who have not appeared in first movie. (I'm surprised how come they didn't come up with that toy yet).

As for the label, have a look at www.reprolabels.com for the set. Will save you stuffing around.

As for my aquisitions, got the g1 minibot set. Well, I assume it is because it's in a HLJ box and that's the only order I have with them. Yea, I havn't opened it up yet, will soon though.

my fiance is already questioning why i'm still buying when i'm suppose to be saving up for marriage. i can't escape from her because my parcels get posted to my office. i meet her after work everyday and i have to carry home everyday in the train...

my current excuse is...Hasbro manufactured lots of toys in June/July..so i can't stop buying! Give me a BREAK....slow down slow down. my pockets are burning

Sorry guys didn't mean to rub it in. :o

Nah bro, my partner just nags about it sometimes only because after buying I complain to him that I'm broke, otherwise he's fine since it's my money anyway. I suppose its more difficult for guys because the guy is usually the one with the "heavier" burden of having to save for the wedding. :p

But seriously, maybe you should cut down on some of the series. I don't collect beast wars, energon or armada, so that's 3 series less. ;) Pause on some series for awhile continue again after the wedding lar.. :)

This pic will have to do me until I move into a bigger place so I can give these guys the display they deserve.

I gave up hope after fanboys went crazy over the "bra-less" version of Transmetal 2 Blackarachnia and those who tried to find ways to force the bra off. (-_-) The fact that the show model is also topless doesn't help much either... lots of fan boys ripped off those tops supposedly in the name of "show akkuracy"... yeah right. :p ;)

strangely, this seller has inserted 2 booklets and a brochure for me.
infact it came with 2 DVDs too - one containing an intro to gundams and other the first 4 episodes of Transformers G1 series in JAP.

Here's the covers of the booklets aka comic:

Yes I do, thanks to Iceburn for pointing it out :)

I don't want to touch that debate about the Classics vs Commemorative issue with Soundwave. I just put him in there as it evens things out.

I'm going to complete my TFC collection as well as I'm pretty close to doing it.

I'm buying Encore reissues for the actual purpose of opening up and playing/displaying these Transformers (god forbid!). I may double up even as they aren't hard to come by and cheaper than earlier reissues.

At the moment, I've just got Alternators and Classic transformers loose, along with some Junkers.

That seller's a dick. Tried to rip me off completely on a Tf once. Never sent it and relisted it at a higher price. Lied to Paypal about the postal registration (gave a reference number for an item going to regional NSW) and threatened retaliatory feedback if I gave him negative.
All his prices are generally in the ludicrous range and he doesn't even allow pick-up under any circumstances for local Singaporeans. Tosser.

I grew to despise primary school teaching (no disrespect to parents here, but some of those kids are the devil-reincarnated :rolleyes:) so I took their money, told the Casual Department of the DET & CEO to shove it and I'm using some of those accumulated funds to buy the TFs I want... :)

So now I'm using my pieces of paper & experience to work in TESOL, where the students want to be there...
(I'm enjoying it a hell of alot more than I ever did casual teaching :D)




Oh & Happy Bday K.wong23... :)

It was off evilbay. I was actually very fortunate. The seller listed one or two Galaxy Force items and then offered me a whole lot more that he hadn't listed yet. They were all at great prices so I didn't even bother with haggling. I was reading somewhere that in Japan, these are very easy to find. Just no noob thinks of putting them up for sale online! :( I'd love to go to Japan if knew someone who knew the language that would go with me.

I hate the reissue SixWing colours, although that's the version I have. I really wish Takara hadn't tinkered with that set.

AFA Graded U95 Reissue Blitzwing

While I don't like the way AFA Grade the reissues, it was cheaper to get this graded one over a non graded one.

Seems odd to get a TFC AFA graded since the booklet idea is ruined that way. Just for curiosity's sake, how much was it? Secondly are you going to bust it out or leave it?

Got some KO Constructicons yesterday...
Okay, not really KOs, but the crazy colours give them that vibe.
Considering how rare and expensive these are, they were becoming a bit of a grail for me. They were released during Generation 2, as a US Store exclusive (Kaybee Toys I believe), so very few exist, and even fewer in packaging.
I got these loose though, which still go for $300-600 on ebay, or about $100 each when sold individually.
The seller was very nice to make an exception and send them out of America, despite preferring not to (I begged before bidding, but could have got them posted to someone in America if necessary).

http://www.otca.com.au/g2c1.jpg

All complete and in almost perfect condition (they are so rare and expensive, I was not going to buy anything incomplete or damaged and later have to buy duplicates to complete it).

http://www.otca.com.au/g2c2.jpg

That'd probably be the only time I'll have them combined, after I put them on display in their individual robot modes. I don't like to 'play' (convert or combine) the rarer figures, in case they break.
For the rest of their lives, they'll probably be looking like this on my shelving:

http://www.otca.com.au/g2c3.jpg

But before they do, the other G1/1.5/2 Constructicons want to give them a proper 'Decepticon' welcome to the collection... :p

http://www.otca.com.au/g2c4.jpg

(left is Gen1, middle is orange G2, top right Euro 'G1.5', bottom right is yellow G2)

The goal I made at the start of this year to complete my G2 collection by years end is almost a certainty now with some fairly common recolours left. :)
If only Hasbro and Takara stopped releasing so much stuff this year, I'd be able to afford the older lumps of plastic more easily... :D

Nah, june was the last month I did an end of month posting. It's just easier this way, and looks a little less boasting from my end as well. Hopefully. :)

Well done anyway. Can we ask what the total on them was?

Ah yeah, I meant the orange ones in that case. My Euro ones were modified with an added Hook's peg and Scavenger's...doodle (sorry:o) so I could combine them as I don't have the G2 set.

ZOMG! indeed Jay, although I see one box under that armchair..... is it empty or are you looking for a missing TF lately? :p

That'd probably be the only time I'll have them combined, after I put them on display in their individual robot modes. I don't like to 'play' (convert or combine) the rarer figures, in case they break.
For the rest of their lives, they'll probably be looking like this on my shelving:

http://www.otca.com.au/g2c3.jpg

But before they do, the other G1/1.5/2 Constructicons want to give them a proper 'Decepticon' welcome to the collection... :p

(left is Gen1, middle is orange G2, top right Euro 'G1.5', bottom right is yellow G2)

If only Hasbro and Takara stopped releasing so much stuff this year, I'd be able to afford the older lumps of plastic more easily... :D

Once you have jetfire, don't even bother with the rest, they'll never compare.

US$350 shipped.


The G1 yellow ones (lower right corner of photo) can't combine.

Actually, it is the ones on the TOP right that can't combine (the Euro ones). THe ones at the lower right are the yellow G2 set, which you can see the 'Generation 2' printed on Scrappers shovel.


Congarts on the G2 Flouro Constructicons, Griffin.Honestly, I never really did think they were rare as they were quite plenty back then in the shops when G2 was in boom, until you told me.

The orange ones are the rare ones, as they were only released in the US Kaybee toystores. The yellow ones were everywhere though. And we had heaps of the Euro non-combining yellow ones here too (I don't think we had the Yellow G2 set here though because of their release a couple of years earlier).

Since they weren't released in Australia, your chances of finding them at a collectables fair here is pretty slim.

Only thing now is the bad exchange rate and I heard the aussie dollar might fall even lower. Feel like asking him if he can give shipping discounts. :p

Okay... Orion, the cost I paid will make you cry. Mine was less than 1/2 yours.

I'm sorry.

Maybe next time, I can help some people source items. Though I have paid extortion prices in the past, if you are looking for something and prepared to pay x amount, I can help to see if I can find it cheaper.

Usually, its the rarer items I find fun to find. Wouldnt really go for any of the more common retail items.

I found a complete Fort Max for a guy previously for $600.

Pulse, no, I havent dealt with him before.

I am trying to hunt down the japanese version of Nightbeat at the moment. Minerva. Maybe I can ask this guy to help. He hasnt listed any prices on his site so abit hard to guess if he is competitive or not. But doesnt hurt trying.

That would be most wonderful kc99! :D Id like some of the stuff youve been getting of late but Im too squeamish to go buying internationally. mebbe you could help me get these, seeing as you've already got the contacts, and I'll pay you instead :D.

Yeah, I agree.. man, if I count how many times I got stung we all get the items we believe its worth. I knew I got it cheap but to someone else, they might still think I got ripped off.

I see what Gok normally quotes and I feel that I have overpaid for most of my items coz I think Gok can find bargains for under $100 even for hard to find items... :(

Though what I have found helpful is getting some of the guide books and being patient with items so I know when the seller is having a go.

liegeprime, let me know what you are interested in and I will see if I can find them. Sometimes, it takes patience and a bit of time.

Those prices I quote are from ToyFare Magazine's Price Guide as calculated by Jon Guiterriez.

I don't really buy these kinds of toys myself, even though I have been a long time fan of Japanese G1. :) I might change my mind after I complete my Hasbro G1/G2 collection and there'd be little else for me to spend my money on... but until then I'm focusing on completing my Hasbro TFs first. :)

P.S.: Remember that they are just guide prices. For toys that are so rare (especially outside of Japan) it really becomes a seller's market.
