They are pretty dodgy, but if I see any for $2.50 it'll be hard to say no...

They're perfect for keeping my boy away from my real Transformers ;)

Those two were the only ones my local had, which was quite convenient, as my boy was starting to develop a hankering for Voyager Ironhide. :eek:

From The Damned....

No not the whole Fort Max but the Brave Max BFG and Double Cannons. Also something that could potentially contravene Rule 15 so I didn't say anything....

Thanks mate...you're an absolute champ! :)

Received the following today! Thanks Jay, Icy and Sifun! :)


http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee16/Kyle_Chow/DSC00188-1.jpg


The Animated Legends single packs are quite different from those from the Rescue Ratchet Stealth Lockdown pack!


http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee16/Kyle_Chow/DSC00191.jpg
(L to R: Rescue Ratchet Stealth Lockdown version, Single pack version.)
At first glance, you might think only the Autobot logo's different. But the colour of the plastic is also very different! The Rescue Ratchet Stealth Lockdown one feels more like the Deluxe BB, while the single pack one is more like Activator BB. I definitely prefer the single pack one, which feels and looks nicer. The windows are painted differently too. The Rescue Ratchet Stealth Lockdown one is just gray, while the single pack one is metallic-like (on the face too).


http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee16/Kyle_Chow/DSC00193.jpg
(L to R: Single pack version, Rescue Ratchet Stealth Lockdown version.)
The two Primes are also very different! The single pack version's red paint is dull, just like the Voyager version or the Battle Begins version. On the other hand, the Rescue Ratchet Stealth Lockdown one is glossy red. The mid section of the single pack one is painted like metallic, while the Rescue Ratchet Stealth Lockdown one is glossy gray. I would prefer glossy red + metallic mid-section instead. :p
Hmmm... the blue is different too, as can be seen from the pic.


http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee16/Kyle_Chow/DSC00195.jpg
Thanks iceburn for the Prime Dangler! Had no idea the shell is soft plastic. I think I might put this on my phone haha. :p The little truck mode is so cute!


http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee16/Kyle_Chow/DSC00196.jpg
Thanks Jay for the Thundercracker! The blue (purple) is much darker than G1, but looks very nice and classy! Beautiful. :)

Sheesh. They actually made different quality of the Animated Legends figures? Surprised to be honest. Time to buy them again...

Received Autobot clones from jgon, thanks!!

Just saw a very lonely Universe Silverstreak at the very back of the shelves in my local Target, took the plunge and bought it, thank goodness his paint apps are not a disaster. Quite surprised his face is painted white. I prefer silver for it , might have to touch it up a little.

That Grimmy shirt looks snazzy!

Got me AHM #5.
It's better than the previous issues, (not hard) but the pacing is still terrible and the cutting between Earth and Cybertron is jarring. At least it's a very pretty series.

Just got back from taking my daughter and nephew shopping and what did I pick up.....

From Big W:

http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q305/Redboost77/Acquisitions/acquisitions135.jpg

General Grevious SW TF and Movie Robot Heroes pack on clearance for $9.88

From a local community center garage sale:

http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q305/Redboost77/Acquisitions/acquisitions137.jpg

G1 Prime MIB missing all accessories and rear trailer door, heavy chrome wear but includes foam insert, used missle sprue and paperwork, and G1 Starscream missing all accessories but includes box, insert, used sprue and sticker sheet and instructions. Both are genuine G1 and get this, I scored them both for only $15!!! The toys will probably go to my nephew but I'm keeping the boxes and placing my own complete versions into them. :D

Nice Zippo, where did you get that from? I've been wanting to get the set to keep so awhile.

Anyway my acquis over the last couple of days:

http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r70/milassilem/Transformers/Tfn-67.jpg
Picked up Animated Leaders Megs and Bulkhead at the right time where TRU is having their $59.99 animated leaders with free activators, so just had to refund to Kmart and repurchase at TRU. One thing though I noticed the Kmart Bulkhead had brighter orange eyes as compared to the TRU one. Some of the ones at TRU didn't even light up or were very dim. Is this the case wth everyone? :confused:

Also found Activator Ratchet to complete the current wave that's out and my first ever Bumper Battlers Bumblebee. Lego Stego and Onslaught were from layby too. :) My early Xmas pressie for myself.

http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r70/milassilem/Transformers/Tfn-68.jpg
Brought my mum to Docklands on friday and was surprise they had a Toy World at the new waterfront city shopping area. Had sms all those who haven't had them: Universe Special Editions for $29.99 each. Extra Overkill and Drag strip for Icy.

How is it that a diaclone item has autobot symbols???

The following taken from Alex Bickmore's Super Toy Archive website (http://www.toyarchive.com/Diaclone/Joustra/JoustraGearsMOSC.html):


Joustra Diaclones were only produced in France. They not only were exact re-issues of the original Japanese Diaclone toys, but they also featured some amazing artwork. Also included was a comic telling of their adventures which are quite different than the Diaclone or Transformers series. Joustra produced Seeker Jets, To Optimus, to Browning to even the Microman Mini-Cars.

Aw Mel, it's not like that at all. It's a bit like the game "telephone". Stompy MMS'd me and STL because he knows we were local to the specific shop and the type of bums that can just shoot off in the middle of the day like that. I was in front of my computer for another 5 minutes before running out the door and told everyone currently in my buddy list at the time (Icey, GP and Kyle) and I can only just hope that they spread the word too.

Strangely the colours are slightly different which i plan to investigate further. Also a G1 Hotspot and powermaster joyride that need some love. A very sweet little Windcharger and finally a VERY sweet G1 Powermaster Prime- many thanks to jgon for that.

Try Ebay Wheel-J. I got mine from a local seller...that was last month IIRC. They were never issued here so when I found one from a local seller I grabbed one even though its of higher priced ... but then considering they would have to compensate for their shipping costs and all, its all good.

Hey! that's fracture!!
Who else here have Movie Fracture? :confused:
Where'd you get those? I mean was there a group order from walmart before?..

Yeah her name is Crasher just as his name is Octane ;)

I bought mine and Dirge's off ebay, it seems to be the only avenue.
