there were 2 V. Drift at Blacktown Kmart Gok.... was it priced the same at TRU?

[laproblematique]

AoE Voyager Drift from TRU & AoE Deluxe Hot Shot from Big W.

These are $17 right now on Amazon. Not sure if I should jump on him and Slog who is also $17.

I just don't really want anything associated with that movie. Apart from maybe Black Knight Grimlock.

Theres been a ban on toys shipping from Amazon since the 29th of October. You can read all about it in the Amazon feedback thread

[laproblematique]

Wow that sucks. What do we think is the deal? Trying to force us to buy at inflated local prices?

Good timing I guess at least as I've got most of what I wanted for the year in the past two weeks in 2 x Jetfire, Rhinox, Masterpiece Smokescreen and Wheeljack. Hopefully no problems with Wheeljack as he was shipped a little over half a week ago from a Japan seller.

[koolkollectibleskhai]

My brother picked up the Hasbro MP-03 Grimlock from Toys'R'Us on Saturday, so I did a quick comparison vid between it and the original Takara MP-8 Grimlock. Here's the vid :)

Hope you can check it out. In a side by side, it's definitely clear that Hasbro cut some corners!

TRU was actually about $10 cheaper than Kmart. TRU are currently discounting their AoE toys.

There was one left at Liverpool Big W at 4pm after I got mine today.;)

thanks but it would be cheaper and less of a pain to import one than it would be to drive to Liverpool and get one. :cool:

I'll wait for it to appear at my local, hopefully round the time of a sale.

[crankcase76]

These 2 guys arrived today of an eBay sale. :)

this actually happened in september but i wanted to wait until windblade arrived.. mairghread scott held a competition on her tumblr to suggest a song for any of the characters/relationships in the windblade series, and I WON A THING for the first time ever in my life, a signed copy of #3, for my suggestion of Gun by Chvrches (http://youtu.be/ktoaj1IpTbw) as a song for windblade / her character development via starscream :D

also if you remove the flippy panel on metroplex's shoulder and fold in windblade's heels, she slots in so perfectly that it almost seems intended

[UltraMarginal]

That's really cool!

[Hursticon]

So I finally received my "Transformers: Legacy - The Art of Transformers Packaging" book from Amazon, although, not entirely in a fashion or state that I was expecting...

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B1o85DkCMAEPWJ8.jpg:large


...and with trepidation, I removed the poly-composite "Hessian" bag to reveal the package-proper...

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B1o86Y2CEAA5_5P.jpg:large


...to reveal what I've gotta say is the single worst packing job I've ever received from Amazon, all I can say is that this is very telling of their recent packaging cutbacks resultant of their recent fiscal losses (I suspect)...

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B1o87qVCAAADGFX.jpg:large


...which lead me to contemplate for several minutes evening turning the book over to see what awaited me, I did and was elated in relief by what confronted me: A safe & sound "Coffee Table" reference book of glorious art! :D

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B1pFiCgCcAAy78_.jpg:large


Besides some very subtle impact-creasing to the spine's bottom end, I'm really rather surprised it's in as good a state as it is, as Amazon's effort in preparing such a highly anticipated and malignly delayed tome for a trans-pacific journey is just piss-poor. :mad:

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B1pGUvMCYAAi5tb.jpg:large


I've had this thing on preorder since January 17 and it's awesome to finally have it, I just would've preferred for it to have arrived in a far superior manner to how it actually did. :o

[Bumbleb33]

AOE Deluxe Snarl and Autobots United Platinum Edition 5 pack.

[UltraMarginal]

Hursti, did you mark it as a gift during checkout? I find they tend to add a little extra packing if you do that.

[Initial_G]

Mine arrived similar to yours Hursticon, the outer package was in taters ... it must've been tossed around a bit I suspect, as the bottom left corner on the front was torn :( ... I even marked it as gift too :(

At least I have it now though, just wish the condition was better

[Sinnertwin]

Hursti, did you mark it as a gift during checkout? I find they tend to add a little extra packing if you do that.

i did consider that option, but luckily mine arrived safely, with bubble wrap too. I guess it might be a case of who's on shift during the packing process and how items are shipped out? Doesn't seem like it's a consistent effort on Amazon's part

[Magnus]

Got AoE Lockdown at TrU Parramatta today.

[Spitcurlboy]

I've never had any bad packages from amazon, always plenty bubble wrap and box in great condition

could be you postmen tossing the packages about?

[klystron]

Hmmmm, poorly packaged books about packaging...

I'm sure there's some irony somewhere in that.

[crankcase76]

Picked up these two tonight from TRU. :)

i was doing research on it ...and the difference is that it doesn't have the autobot logo on the bonnet but come with a sticker instead like tiger tracks

You are correct.

[FruitBuyer]

Received my Amazon-decoed Jetwing Optimus Prime! He is absolutely fantastic and amazing, right behind my King Grimlock in terms beauty. I fear we're not going to see another Prime on the same scale and detail as the RotF Leader Prime mould.

[crankcase76]

Scored these tonight from Kmart in penrith. :)

Couldn't you send some warmth in the box with the plastic bags?

Got one off my wants list yay Cybertron/Primus ,forgot to put AOE Snarl in.Also anyone got any good tips for dusting my toy, Primus needs a wash :D

[Sinnertwin]

I use a cloth and a make up/paint brush or cotton bud for those hard to reach places. I'd try and avoid using a damp cloth as the excess dust may seep into the cracks and make it more difficult to remove. Primus is a large figure, so even a vacuum with the appropriate attachment may be a quick and easy option

[VERT]

Generations Brainstorm arrived today. Did not know he had the built in tech spec gimmick. But done badly so dont expect much.

[liegeprime]

I've bought six of those 3 tier racks and I must say they kinda makes you see the figures better since it raises the ones at the back. Got it for my G1 decepticons. Must get more now for my G1 autobots as well but my local Kmart keeps only low stock. Must check again after a few weeks to see if they've restocked.

For those considering if they'd fit on your shelf, the dimensions are: 37.5cm (w) x 8.5cm (h) * 25.5cm (d)

I bought two.

[CoRDS]

i think it looks cool even if it looks like it has a diaper

Ironically enough this is kind of a negative acquisition. I recently bought a Deluxe Beast Hunters Bumblebee, but the left shoulder peg (or whatever it is) was very stressed or something and just broke. Well that just sucks :(

Just realized something I never did before... I had this toy too when I was a kid and I never picked it up...

When in bird mode and the missile is attached... it certainly looks like a gianormous reproductive weapon of mass destruction! :eek:

and it looks like its ready to be fired!

MP Wheeljack for $75 from TRU.
Most excellent! With the discount you're paying about the same as what preordering the TakTOM version would've costed you plus postage, only with the added bonuses of immediate ownership (so much better than the eternal wait for shipping!), easier exchange/refund options if there's any issues, and the instructions & bio in a language that you can understand! :D

[SuspectimusPrime]

Got my Generations Jetfire from TRU offline.

I hope it was off those lovely 2 we seen at Granville. :D

What's the difference between Takara and Hasbro's Cybertron-mode Ratchet? I don't see any metallics.:confused:

As far as I'm aware the Takara animated figures aren't necesarily metallic so much as they are shiny and the Habro ones are a matte finish, much more like the appearance of the show

[ITZTRU]

Received my KO MP Ratbat today...quite impressed actually!

[1AZRAEL1]

Fairly small haul lately, trying to slow right down on spending. Got BW Cheetor (with green eyes) and junker G1 Flame off Demonac via Liegeprime. Good stuff. Cheetor looks good on my small Maximal shelf. Need to bolster their ranks a bit :p

+1, exactly what UM said. They look shiny on the red parts. Instead of a matte finish, just looks good to. :)

hehe why doesn't it surprise me you got that particular Angry bird TF Hursty.... btw have you picked up the Mashers one?

[Hursticon]

Hehe, you know me all too well Liege! :D

I have seen the Mashers one a couple of times at my local Big W and whilst I quite like it, I don't like it enough to spend $30 on it :o

That price to me is just a joke so I'll wait until it hits $20 or less and in the meantime I'll enjoy this awesome little mashup-ridiculousness that is Angry Birds: Soundwave-Pig! :D

[crankcase76]

Got these from Kmart last night. :)

[Handsprime]

Finally bothered getting myself Deluxe Lockdown from Macquarie Target (30% off Transformers :cool: )
Considering getting Masterpiece Wheeljack online though. Haven't seen him and probably won't see him at all.

[Krayt]

http://t.co/M09wuoJvc4

Only bad points are Grimlocks yellow, and the fact he has 2 right hands (dino mode) also slog has now vac metal on him.... But all the others do!

Guess someone screwed up the fossils back at the museum!!!

But the black washed silver looks amazing on

[GoktimusPrime]

Picked up #1 of Drift: Empire of Stone and #35 of Transformers MTMTE Days of Futures Past^Deception ;)

Have you tried calling every TRU in the Sydney metropolitan area? Because that's what I did when I was after MP Optimus Prime until I finally found a TRU that had one in stock, then got them to reserve the toy for me. If that doesn't work, call TRU head office and ask them to source one for you.
P.S.: Gofigure is selling an MP Wheeljack at <AU RRP here (http://otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=19838) ;)

I haven't, but I looked online and it's cheaper and easier to just grab wheeljack from there. Sure I have to wait a while but once it gets here, it'll be worth the wait :D

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

Got my masterpiece bumblebee yesterday. Very nice he is!

Finally got around to framing and hanging a couple of prints that I got last christmas
