Just the figure, no gun. A shame but can't grumble at the price! I thought you'd be more jealous of the cannon transport judging by your sig. It's beeaauutiful.

hehehe that micro one shows up ( in pieces , which is how I collect) every now and then. I only need the back part trailer component to complete it. Fearswoop though ,sigh, I got no luck finding a cheap one like that, even incomplete:(

[TheHandsomeCrab]

What about the wings?

[fatbot]

What about the wings?

bugger, your right, need them too.

[mknell]

This came in the mail yesterday, shame the box isn't in better condition

[Sky Shadow]

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b148/klownkiller666/001-3.jpg

I know where you got this from. :) Although you're missing three pieces, if you put the helicopter blade on his Decepticon-symbolled shoulder, you get a great dayglo AM Bruticus homage down to its representation of the asymmetry of Vortex's helicopter blades.

[kup]

At least it doesn't say 'Dinobot Bommander' :p

[mknell]

At least it doesn't say 'Dinobot Bommander' :p

Thats the part i'm most happy about lol

[stencilator]

Just got a box of goodies from BBTS... including HA Bumblebee and HA Sideswipe. I'm at work and haven't opened them yet and it's killing me! Can't wait to get outta here and bust them out.

what's really scary is the fact that i put the rotor blade there just after i took the photo, without even thinking about that

[kaiden]

went to TRU in Tea Tree plaza today (SA)

http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z290/phaeby/IMGP2120.jpg

sadly Ultra Magnus didnt have a bonus activator too

[jaydisc]

Are the Leaders w/activator $40 too?

[autobreadticon]

BT Ravage i think !!!! (can't wait to pick him up tommorrow @ post office )
Received 2x I am Optimus books (1 for me :rolleyes: and one for my friend's kid)
Brought Armada Tradeback vol 2 & 3

[snaketales]

Are the Leaders w/activator $40 too?

They are at Toys R Us in WA (I admit it's not much help to you, but WA members may like to know).

[Blink90210]

Henkei Minibot Spy Team thanks to Jaydisc. Neat little figures, though the Spy Team really should be composed of Cosmos, Wheelie and Beachcomber (and the Attack Team of Brawn, Cliffjumper and Warpath). Surely Beachcomber is the better spy than Warpath.

[kaiden]

Are the Leaders w/activator $40 too?

YEP! I wouldnt have payed extra for the activators anyway.

The ultra magnus was the last one there. they still have megatron and bulkhead and nothing else.

The inferno was the last one too.

[GoktimusPrime]

Got another TF jacket from Jayjays and ROTF drinking glasses from Insanity.

WOW!!! Nice one fatbot!

Gok, are those glasses only 2 packs or are they more?

As for me, passed by tonight at my local Kmart ( thank goodness for 12 pm closing) and got me finally a RoTF sideswipe. They've put out some old stock there so anyone trying to find Sideswipe and Sideways, youll find some there...

[Autocon]

Today's Loot:

http://www.geocities.com/wow_frostwolf/loot/210809.jpg

This completes my Micromaster stations.

[Tabias Prime]

just got my Shadow Commander today.thanks to all who led me in the right direction.:D:D

http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd33/Tabias_Prime/P210809_1657.jpg

I have to admit,i am very impressed the quality of these.someone put a lot of time and effort in making the molds for these.the quality is certainly there.
Just one question though, there is a bag of bits that came with it but it doesn't tell you where to put them? i understand the faceplate but the other bits don't make sense..

[Sky Shadow]

Today's Loot:

http://www.geocities.com/wow_frostwolf/loot/210809.jpg

This completes my Micromaster stations.

Congratulations! Conversely, these two were the very first Micromaster stations I ever owned (back in 1989). :)

[Kyle]

Just one question though, there is a bag of bits that came with it but it doesn't tell you where to put them? i understand the faceplate but the other bits don't make sense..

They are for covering up the screw holes.

[Tabias Prime]

They are for covering up the screw holes.

Thanks Kyle i would never of known, the instructions are a little vague on what to do with them....:confused::confused:

[kurdt_the_goat]

Today's Loot:

http://www.geocities.com/wow_frostwolf/loot/210809.jpg

This completes my Micromaster stations.

That is a pretty blatant mispelling of Microtransformers on the face of the box!

[Tabias Prime]

That is a pretty blatant mispelling of Microtransformers on the face of the box!

i think they must of run out of space on the front of the box..:p:p:p

[TheDirtyDigger]

That is a pretty blatant mispelling of Microtransformers on the face of the box!

It's because they're foreign isn't it?

[kurdt_the_goat]

It's because they're foreign isn't it?

I thought that might be the case but on the flap it's spelled correctly?

[Sky Shadow]

I thought that might be the case but on the flap it's spelled correctly?

Yeah, GiG originally called their Transformers 'Trasformers' in the '80s and had both Transformers and Trasformer logos on their boxes until 1988. 'Microtrasformer' is an anachronistic fallback to the old name even though they generally just had the 'Transformers' logo in 1989.

[Doubledealer]

For those who don't look in the G1 acqui thread. :D

http://i661.photobucket.com/albums/uu332/Doubledealer_83/Transformers/G1/G1ShockwaveMIB.jpg

http://i661.photobucket.com/albums/uu332/Doubledealer_83/Transformers/G1/G1Shockwave.jpg

[dirge]

Consonant clusters, while common in English, don't work in Italian, hence the dropping of the "n" in Trasformer.

[kup]

Yeah Dirge is correct - They are Italian and they came in MISB! It's been decades since I opened a brand new G1 toy :eek:

Its pretty nifty as erverything within is written only in Italian including the techspecs but I can read it so no probs :D

[GoktimusPrime]

Also, "MicroTransformers" is a term never officially used in Anglophone Transformers marketing. Hasbro just had "Micromaster" + whatever kind of Micromaster it was. In this case the top line would've read "Micromaster" and the line underneath it would've read "Station." It would then read "Micromaster Station" before the character's name on the front of the box.

Here's a pic of my English-language G1 Blackout & Spaceshot w/ box - you can see the format that was used:
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y227/goktimusprime/Transformers/acquisitions/acquisition_20090720.jpg

I suspect that "MicroTransformer" is just some kind of pseudo-English used by GiG for some exotic appeal.

[Sky Shadow]

It's been decades since I opened a brand new G1 toy

Really? Wow, that surprises me, considering your collection. I enjoy devaluing MOSC and MISB G1 toys. I currently have a backlog of carded and boxed collectibles that I open one by one when I feel the inspiration. :D

[kup]

Really? Wow, that surprises me, considering your collection. I enjoy devaluing MOSC and MISB G1 toys. I currently have a backlog of carded and boxed collectibles that I open one by one when I feel the inspiration. :D

Despite my ever closer to be complete G1 collection - I have only come across 80s MISB specimens in the last couple of months which are carded Micromasters that I got from Jgon.

I have not opened those Micromasters as vintage carded figures to me are kind of like centuries old wine - It's been sealed and undisturbed for so many years - Who em I to open it? It's something that could be shown just as it was on store shelves back in the 80s to future generations :)

I don't have such issues with vintage boxed figures since opening them does not ruin the package in any way and the figure can be placed back. Those Mircomaster stations were the first I had come across.

[SentinelPrime]

Recieved FansProject items... Superion upgrade kit and D.I.A Commander from Kyle, cheers buddy.

for those of you who havent already got the G3 trailer, GET ONE! dont make the same mistake I did and pass on it. Totally worth it... even the box is out of this world.

[Vector Prime]

Can you actually tell me? I thought nike's transform?

These ones don't transform... they're just re-issues of Nike shoes in a TF theme.

The one's that transform are called Nike Free 7.0 (Megatron & Optimus)

Megatron (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Megatron_%28G1%29/toys#Sport_Label)

Very Jealous

[jaydisc]

holy crap i need a spare swindle. busting down to kmart asap.

is this true for other kmarts?

I went to my Kmart this morning, and Animated Deluxes are still priced at $23 clearance, and with the current 15% off, that puts them at 19.55, so it doesn't look to be a nationwide clearance reduction.

I forgot to tell you at the fair - When you get your Roadbuster don't push the rifle down as I have done in this pic or it will break the top handle as the plastic is not flexible enough:

http://www.geocities.com/wow_frostwolf/fun/rbkit2.jpg

Mine broke when I folded it down into the key holder so now I just let it hang which still works as a display.

[iceburn]

anyone knows if it's really "worth" to get the short antenna variant scalpel too?

[GoktimusPrime]

It would make transformation easier. But I personally don't care.

Well at least i was on the right line with my comment about the repainted sprocket...

Reason i never seen rumbler b4 is because he's a european 91 version...

I should stop using transformerland for my references and start using TFU. :)

Cool :cool: That sold for only 50% more than the one I saw at BotCon but the free shipping helps you out. (And I can tell you finding a postage tubes that can fit something that size is an expensive matter!)

judging by the fact that he put botcon 2009 on it i imagine that this is that very one. i've no doubt i've saved $30 in shipping :D
i've actually never seen one for sale so i jumped

I asked him if he'd throw it in to Australia before I hit the button. Luckily he was quick to respond as I don't know how much longer it would have lasted.
Poor bugger, just not sure he realises how much it gonna cost to send :P

Augusts acquisitions.

A second Razor Claw for parts. A few G1 accessories including Predaking head and blaster! G1 Overlord (my second personal holy grail - missing only a few stickers and a few placed in wrong spots, missing main gun and leg ramps), Gnaw, and Alternator Jazz.

Is paramatta like botcon?

[TheDirtyDigger]

Is paramatta like botcon?

Yes. I heard Botcon was actually inspired by the Parramatta Fair.

[Vector Prime]

Yes. I heard Botcon was actually inspired by the Parramatta Fair.

Lol :D


Is paramatta like botcon?

Nowhere close to it unfortunately mate... just a gathering of stalls selling stuff to collectors... actually, sounds very similar to Botcon, but on a much smaller scale. :p

[optimus1]

Picked up the Transformers Animated Allspark Almanac yesterday :)

Am fully enjoying every part of it, a pity though that it is only about Seasons 1 and 2, but does include some info on IDW's 'The Arrival' comics

can anyone ID the dark robot next to the Dr who cyberman?

[GoktimusPrime]

The Sabretron 2004 and OzToyCon 2006 Transformer conventions were the closest we've ever had of seeing anything like BotCon in Australia.
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y227/goktimusprime/Conventions/th_sabretron1.jpghttp://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y227/goktimusprime/Conventions/OzToyCon%202006/th_oztoycon19.jpg

Otherwise we do have booths at other existing conventions like the stall at Smash! this year.

Roller, I have the strangest déjà vu that we've had this conversation before:

http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showpost.php?p=117472&postcount=23

It's still Aquablast. :)

(And thanks for the Dorian Grey comment before. It was also the most literary reference I've ever read on the forum. Classy.)

[liegeprime]

Erm isnt Dorian Gray a guy who cant die, unless you stab or burn or cut his painting which grows old instead of him .....?

[Sky Shadow]

That's right Liege. Hmm... you seem to know a lot about this. Plus you too never seem to age a day and still look as sprightly and young as ever... You don't have any old, mysteriously aging paintings in your attic, by any chance? ;)

[blackoptimus]

Was oztoycon done by griffin? Why did he display his entire collection? It must of taken months to do that!!

[liegeprime]

I only have Chibby paintings:D

[Sky Shadow]

Was oztoycon done by griffin?

Yes.


Why did he display his entire collection?

In order to have the biggest display of different Transformers in the world at that time (about 1500 toys). 99% of it was Griffin's collection. A few were mine and other Ozformers' toys.


It must of taken months to do that!!

If you replaced 'of' with 'have', 'months' with 'hours' and deleted one of the extraneous exclamation marks, your sentence would be more accurate.

[roller]

Danke Skyshadow :o my memory for toys isn't what it used to be :)

The snarl in the pic is an old old junker i got, which i restored the other day

[Wheel-J]

All these came in this month and needless to say, each and every item were acquired through group orders and generous offers from fellow otca members.
So to all lurkers out there, this is just one of the many perks of becoming an ozformer. Oh yeh! :cool:

Not included in the pic is the MP trailer which I may just put in for next month's group shot if only I can showcase it side by side with the requested FP G3 trailer. :rolleyes:

I see your Encore Steeljaw also suffers from mismatching yellow like mine. How's the quality of your ENC Combaticons?

I finally got myself a non-defective Dunerunner yesterday!

Lol! Just a mere product of "indoor boredom" these past gloomy weekends. Really nothing special. :rolleyes: But pardon for the blurry pic, don't have any fancy camera so I just went decorating em with fonts and frames - all thanks to photobucket. :D

And to add on that (I knew I forgot something) I also got these two new TF shirts from target (left) and bigw (right). I like optimus design but the quality of the shirt is meh too thin. Though I was glad that was on sale ($20 after the 20% discount). ;)

*cause it's a lose-lose situation when shoulder mounted rockets are used for pesky close combat.


EZ Devastator - Griffin! Big thanks :D
Warpath, Wheelie & Cosmos - Zippo! who makes them ;) Big thanks :D
Universe Countdown - kelvinchang99! Big thanks :D
Aerial Rivals Legends 5 pack - Big W! No thanks :mad:, my Skydive has 2 left feet

Wow! I'm LOVING that Prime shirt, nice! As you said, a shame of the quality (I can tell just from the pic, as I've had similar ones before), but even as a display piece, very nice image indeed =o)

[griffin]

Very late, but have been bit busy since last month. Still wanted to show off a few things though...

My August stuff.
http://www.otca.com.au/0908a.jpg
The game at the front is the one I got from the Jayjays competition. Now I gotta get a PS3 to play it on...

The two items of interest (to me) are JP PVC 'chase' figures, Mega Zarak (Scorponok) and Black Zarak. I was pleasantly surprised to find that they weren't straight redecos of each other. Black Zarak has about half new moulded limbs and bits. Got them fairly cheaply from the UK too, despite being rarish.

http://www.otca.com.au/0908c.jpg

And most of these were bought in August - RPM Minivehicles (all of the different vehicles from wave 1 and 2).
At the front are the first Movie Autobots. At the back on the left are the first Movie Decepticons. In the middle are the new second Movie Decepticons, and on the right are the new second movie Autobots.

Now to post up my September toys...
