March forth and manhandle your new Transformers memorabilia

New month new thread

Been a quiet year so far for me with unicron coming in 14 (all going well) days
Did get the decepticon jet micromasters from wayyyy back in wave one of siege though. Only 2 years late now.

[Omega Metro]

Selects Red Wing from Popcultcha arrived today.

[SMHFConvoy]

Kingdom Cyclonus unexpectedly arrived from Amazon UK today

[Dan]

It took six months from placing on pre-order with Little Toy Company, and finally got my Quintesson Judge, Slitherfang as its pet, and Rung as a perfectly sized prisoner with (to my mind anyway) a passing resemblance to a Lithone. Am pretty happy with them and did not even suffer too much with attaching the spare heads.

[nalops]

Siege Blowpipe and Caliburst from Kmart, Energon Snow Cat, Starscream, Preceptor and Star Saber from MayzaPrime on eBay and Siege Bluestreak from Amazon US via AU (box was a bit crushed but I'm taking it out of packaging anyway.)

[SMHFConvoy]

Won an eBay auction for a busted up TFA Magnus over the weekend and he showed up today.

The right facing shoulder was glued shut and both the antenna were snapped off, perfect candidate for some radical customisation.

[nalops]

Golden Lagoon MP Optimus from eBay
Man, Afterpay makes it way too easy to spend on eBay now.

[nalops]

MP Shattered Glass Optimus Prime from eBay.

Edit: Just realised after transforming it, that the right side mirror has been broken off. Does fit in with the broken window aesthetic, so I'm not too upset plus it only cost me $160 shipped and otherwise complete with everything.

[Omega Metro]

Kingdom Blackarachnia for $23 at Target. And ER Thrust arrived today from Amazon.

Funny you should mention that, when I was rearranging my collection a short time ago, I realised my Prime was missing a piece too. Back of his shoulder. So doesn't bother me too much either coz I display the front lol

[shockNwave]

Got Vertebreak.

[Sam]

SS86 Grimlock! :)

[Krayt]

Kingdom Inferno and Dinobot....

[Handsprime]

Gen selects Red Wing from Popcultha

[nalops]

I think today has been the day I've gotten the most Transformers at once.

I got T30 Scoop from Amazon US via AU,

Prime Hades Megatron, Prime Breakdown and Vehicon plus Gen Selects Deep Cover from TCCA group buy,

DotM Voyager Sentinel Prime, RoTF Jazz and 5 legends from eBay seller,

Phew.

[Deano85]

Titans Return Brainstorm from Target (the only re-issue headmaster they had left)

A random find. I was looking for newer Kingdom figures. Would of been better if it had of been Chromedome

[Omega Metro]

Galactic Odyssey Micron Micromasters box from Amazon.

[Jaxius._]

Gen Selects Deepcover from Zing

Fingers crossed tigertrack will ship soon from popcultcha

[Tha_Phantom]

Kingdom Inferno and Dinobot from Toyworld Docklands.

They're already cleared out of voyagers just to save anyone else the trip.

[klystron]

Kingdom Blackarachnia

[Paulbot]

Earthrise Sunstreaker, Trailbreaker, Runamuck, and Gen Select Tigertrack and G2 Sandstorm all via The Little Toy Company.

Finished what I want from Earthrise now. Having now finally seen Sunstreaker in person I’m sadly unimpressed by the chest (which I was hoping was just looks-odd-in-photos thing)

[sideswipes brother]

Could you explain your chest issue please? I also find the chest quite off putting due to what i can see is a massive color mismatch but everyone i have spoken to online says it doesnt look that way in the flesh.....

I'm not speaking for Paulbot, but I can confirm the chest (and forearm) colour mismatch is horrible IIRL. Altho will admit it does look even worse in some photos.

I've seen many people saying the same, that's it's not bad in person, so that was my expectation.

But in person, the difference is noticeable to a degree I'm not happy with. In the right angle, under the right sort of globe it can kind of pass, but for the most part I can just see the yellow paint standing out.

[Robzy]

Kingdom Inferno

[nalops]

Keep forgetting to mention I got SS 86 Jazz and Kup from Big W 2 Saturdays ago.

[shockNwave]

On the weekend I got Kingdom Cheetor.

[Dimi194]

Reissue Siege Jetfire & DK SS Prime, Blackout & Sentinel Upgrade packs from BBTS

It most definitely is a mismatch - I also have a copy on my shelf.
I was just looking at your photo and it's glaringly obvious from here.

[nalops]

Yellow paint and plastic are notoriously hard to match. Just look at pretty much any movie Bumblebee ever.

[Skyfire]

Yup, Sunstreaker's yellow paint is obviously different in photos and real life. Here's mine. (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php/27608-A-curious-Earthrise-Sunstreaker?p=636522#post636522)

[nalops]

Netflix Megatron from Kmart; Armada Thundercracker, Tidal Wave, Wheeljack and 21 Minicons from MayzaPrime on eBay; Gen Selects Black Roritchi, SG OP and Ratchet and 3rd Patrol Cassettes from DorksideToys.

Also was able to get in an order during Target's toy sale for click and collect. 4 Deluxes and 2 Botbot packs. Managed to get 1 of each deluxe. Was going to return Paleotrex since I already have one but decided to keep it.

I was fully expecting at least a double-up so pleasantly surprised to see the entire wave.

[Omega Metro]

Siege Springer from Amazon. I did buy it previously over a year ago but sold it off as I was never a huge Springer fan. Kinda needed it again to complete the cast since they are now releasing Blurr, Kup etc.:rolleyes:

[Jaxius._]

Tigertrack from popcultcha finally

They shipped in such a huge box filled with what seems like a full newspaper to pad it out. Seems like a waste but oh well

Kingdom Dinobot (Toyworld) - a good figure, but I found it a bit of a let down because I was very hyped for it

That's it for retail figures for me for this month, unless I can find Airrazor.

[shockNwave]

Completely forgot to mention I previously got Transformers Back To The Future #2 & #3.

[kovert]

From Big W, now reduced to $5 each (from $10 from $19):

The price is now much closer to the 1989/1990 price for these little bots. :)

Found these at the Collector Con fair on Sunday:
