October's Occasional Obtainments

[GoktimusPrime]

Studio Series Lockdown

[kwanzaabot]

I feel this is probably the best place to ask. Anyone had any luck getting Predaking from The Little Toy Company?

I preordered in July (along with the wave 3 Terrorcons and the wave 3 Prime Masters) and I haven't heard a thing yet.

Their site says "estimated arrival is August/September" for Predaking, and it's now October. I'm starting to get a little antsy.

[Paulbot]

I believe, from my last pick up with them, that they have received some but not all of their orders of Predaking, maybe only a few cases out of the total, so if you’ve not been contacted yet your’s might be in a second shipment.

[G1Optimal]

I picked up the one and only Studio Series Jazz at Target Blacktown in Westpoint Shopping Centre today

[TaZZerath]

I picked up TR Triggerhappy yesterday and am expecting PoTP Vector Prime/Metalhawk end of the week.

I'm a little behind the 8-ball with a few of my figures thats for sure but glad I'm getting them now!

Triggerhappy has SUPER tight joints! A far cry from my original 'Loose hips' Skullcruncher.

EDIT: Vector Prime/Metalhawk arrived, very happy with this little dude. Gun mode colour-matches Ginrai, works as a great as a head on Triggerhappy (another Functionist stand-in with Skullcruncher!) and as a Matrix fill-in for Nemesis Prime. He suits quite a few accessories in my collection!

[GoktimusPrime]

Studio Series Grimlock

[FatalityPitt]

Scored a PotP Sinnertwin from Target :)

[CHILENO20]

LG26 Scourge & TG10 Sideswipe from Deza-Con 😁

[Bemblebuu]

Bought the new Power Charge Bumblebee. He's a huge figure with a fairly simple transformation but both robot and vehicle modes look cool. Switched off the 'power charge' feature...too annoying. :)

[jazzcomp]

Walmart G1 Reissue Starscream and Hot Rod from Changi Singapore Airport.

[snaketales]

Picked up potp Predaking today. Chunky individual bot modes, fairly straightforward transformations... Predaking looks good but the back is a bit of a mess. May need to revisit.

[CoRDS]

got an optimus prime fidget it's (fidgit cube) yesterday from toyworld.

I ordered in July also and queried when my order will get filled. They responded saying that the Sept stock was used to fill the May and June orders and that they are expecting more stock at the end of this month. I am hoping that means the July orders will be filled with that stock.

I don't usually buy toys off the secondary market, but Mandarake was having a spot sale (not sure if it's still on), so I paid...
TAV Strongarm = ￥1200 ($15)
Sharktron & Sweeps = ￥1500 ($19)
Bumble & Excel-Suit Spike = ￥1500 ($19)
Plus $25 for shipping - not too shabby. :)

As for little toy company ive got 2 preorders with them and have been writing them an email every 3 weeks they said preorders were being sent in September then at the end of September they said posting out in 12days! That was 20days ago it will be my last purchase with them thats for sure!

[tinyJazz]

Trying to wait until December but I dont think it will last that long..

[1AZRAEL1]

I'd be interested in buying 2 sets and seeing if they are random or set figures in each calendar

[Omega Metro]

[reillyd]

I just bought two sets of G1 Walmart minibots from an Aus store, only to fund they have NO tech specs whatsoever and are the foreign edition. So I am now going to have to source a new set for mosc. Knew the price was too good to be true. It has a Hasbro rrp sticker of 14.99, which means that the set we will get at retail is probably no tech spec too :(

Turn over the back Goktimus, I think you might have them too from the different look to the front packaging

Already mentioned (http://otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?p=597349#post597349), but thanks. :)

It personally doesn't bother me as I'm just displaying them front facing forwards. But yeah, for those who want authentic looking card-backs, I advise going for the North American releases.

Although the N. American reissue's French bios are completely re-written and not the same as the wording on the original 80s Francophone bios. No idea why. <shrugs>

Pounce and Wingspan wouldn't happen to be in that pile would they?

If you got them, maybe mine will come soon. I ordered them from TLTC way back in March..

Ummm.... wow. That's an insane haul.

[KELPIE]

Slight segue: Should I get Takara or Hasbro Overlord?

Also, things I learnt: "The Little Toy Company" is a place.

Nice haul Raider.

If you mean G1 then get whichever is easier/cheaper for you as the difference between the toys is negligible. If you mean CHUG then it depends. LG Overlord is more visually G1 accurate but the faces are more cartoonish and it does sacrifice the chest gimmick. TR Overlord still looks nice in its own right, just not as G1 accurate. The face is much less cartoony in appearance and it has the chest gimmick (i.e. 2 cavities that can hold a pair of Titan Masters). I personally prefer LG Overlord, but both toys are quite fine in their own right - depends on what your preferences are.

CHUG.

Thank ya, I'll have a read and grab one.

At a point in time, I was hoping he'd get repainted into a Flywheels. I guess I'm happy with the one we're getting in Siege but still......

The only one I can think of is the Disney Label series from a few years ago.

[1AZRAEL1]

Received Takara Legends Astrotrain thanks to Paulbot. Completes my Titans Decepticon triplechangers.

[TaZZerath]

Received Titans Return Cosmos via FatalityPitt for a good price. A very fun little guy! Putting him with my 'green-n-gold' team of Hardhead and Springer.

G1 Bumblebee from cottonon. Card a bit warped but okay.

[Dimi194]

BB Movie Legendary OP and POTP Novastar

[FatalityPitt]

Full set of G1 Minibots from Cotton On in better condition this time (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showpost.php?p=597957&postcount=1522). Yay!

So I sent Cotton On an email about my bent card, and they apologized and said they'll bring it up with upper management. They also gave me a discount off my next purchase. I won't say how big a discount it was, but it was good enough to provide an incentive to buy the whole set!

REMEMBER: If you plan on keeping your figure MOC/MISB and you're buying online, make sure you message the vendor telling them to pack it well!

https://tracking.i-parcel.com

I use this. And when you enter the tracking number it should tell you which company it has been transferred to with a new tracking number. In my case it was Fastway.
