First day of the month, and one of my holy grails arrived. I’ve been waiting almost a decade for a sealed Safety Convoy to come up. They were given out as prizes in "Kids Walk" events for Super-GT in Japan……. And so the first thing any self-respecting kid does is open it up, right? So to find one sealed in its original baggy, its a rare thing indeed. It’s been a saved eBay search for all this time, and it finally came up a fortnight ago. No one else bid on it.

I can’t figure out how to inline an image on my iPad, so here’s the eBay link for anyone curious what a Safety Convoy looks like. It was one of my favourite legion class moulds of a Prowl, but done up in Super-GT deco. https://www.ebay.com/itm/394206535038

And the history of the toy https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Safety_Prime

That is a great score... not so much the price though, as that is a LOT for a very small toy (not that I can judge, after the amount I paid for one JP Headmaster head).
Safety Prime is on my grail listing, and I don't think I have seen it anywhere before.

[Metallikato]

A G1 Scourge in good condition off ebay. Another Sweep...

[Handsprime]

Studio Series Ratchet from Amazon

[Deano85]

Legacy Red Cog from JB HiFi

[Seraphim Prime]

Dont often post here, but I did want to celebrate

After despondently going to eBay and almost buying one at $100 I thought I would check Kmart while getting some groceries and it was a matter of right place right time for the restock as on the shelf was a retail price Cosmos.

That's great news! Perth Kmarts have been restocking too, so there's still hope for other collectors who have yet to obtain theirs.

I bought Buzzworthy Bumbleebee Kup and Cliffjumper from Target. But I don't think they are worth $39, especially when Hasbro already took my money for Studio Series and Earthrise. Also a fault on Hasbro that BB Kup is more SS than the SS one.

[Bidoofdude]

Kingdom Rhinox and Tigatron on discount at Toyworld. Velocitron Blurr as a consolation prize for my fruitless search for Cosmos at 3 different Kmarts today.

This Kingdom wave (Wheeljack, Tracks, Scorponok and Wingfinger) is stocking in force lately in Perth, just when I thought Kingdom was petering out. $15 is a great price. Makes me wonder if we will see Slammer and Pipes at $15.
