Sweet. Love Singapore toy shopping.

Meanwhile, in sunny Surfers Paradise, Legacy Evolution Beachcomber (price matched to Myer's sale) and Dirge from JB. Think I will wait for a discount for Scarr.

Noice! Did you meet up with any collectors there? I organised a little fan meet back in April... I should type up a report about it. :)

No Meetup. Just family trip doing tourist stuff. But a visiting Robo Robo was on my to-do list.

Underlabs underwear from Kmart Belmont. They have been on clearance for a while at $10 for a 2-pack, from $20 (they have large and XL left, I think). I also got the Underlabs 2-pack socks for $5 from Kmart East Vic Park. They are doubly cleared from $10 to $7 to $5. Belmont also have them, in all sizes I think.

Shattered Glass Delta Magnus from JB.

I do not like Ultra Magnus (never have) & as such would never buy an UM figure. So this is clearly Delta and not Ultra.

Yes I made him Delta Magnus. Toyhax stickers and added some silver on Delta Convoys windows.

How is the quality? And is it worth $30+ shipping from JP?

Quality is good as one would expect from Takara, nice tight joints. Including shipping mine only cost $97, so yeah I believe it was well worth it.

I bought the Buzzworthy SS86 Ironhide/Prowl set from Popcultcha. I used my loyalty points (Popcultcha pennies) and bought some other things on sale, so I got free shipping and the set worked out to be the price of 20% off JB Hi-Fi's price - I figure that's probably the cheapest I would ever get it for, as JB's price is already the lowest I've seen and it might just coincide with their 20% off sales. It also worked out to be about the same as Popcultcha's 20% off sales. Popcultcha only allows one discount code at a time e.g. general sale code or rewards code, and I never have anything I usually want to use my pennies for, so overall I think I made a good purchase decision. This was important to me as I'm not sure I really dig this set at its usual price - repeat of SS86 Ironhide, annoyed at the better paint job that should have gone to SS86-17 Ironhide, not really a fan of battle damage, childhood trauma of Prowl's death, possibility of normal Prowl later... but I didn't want to spend a fortune on Earthrise Prowl.

Received Devcon via Amazon on July 31. Based on previous experience I now expect to see him on local shelves in a couple of weeks :rolleyes:
