henkei red alert

http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=5559

Thanks for letting me know mate, I was aware of that one.

Kenny never responded to my PM and hasn't updated his page to show sold items either.

I believe snaketales had first dibs on it and he has since taken delivery of it already.

I found ebay helpful when it came to movie 1 ledgends.

Yeah I've had a look there and have found a couple, but the thought of paying $25+ AUD to get a single Legends class toy shipped to Australia doesn't seem all that appealing to me! :o

Paul, if you ever head out to Taren Point, be sure to check out Fraser's Cycles on Taren Point Road. They sell toys as well as bikes, and have stock of older Legends toys from the last film (:

Last time I checked, I saw Movie 1 Legends Barricade (aswell as a few others) available at Sam's Warehouse not far from my place. IIRC they were $6.99(?) each, so if you still need him I'll have a look there as soon as I can, although I'm working all long w/e =o( And I'm sure postage for something that size wouldn't be much...

Man, pity you need Dropshot now, he was warming over at Target back in August for $25

If you're completely desperate for the two Henkei seekers, Bigbadtoystore still has them in stock, however opinion on that place is divided at best

Yeah I know... he was on sale at TRU for $25 as well... grabbed most of the Voyagers except for him and Blades. :(

Yeah I've seen the Henkei seekers on a couple of online stores but was kinda hoping to pick them up from someone here for about $80 each ($100+ each for what essentially is a remolded Deluxe Classic Starscream is a bit hard to stomach) :o

20th October 2009, 12:06 PM

Wish you luck, but uh... Don't think you'll have much luck. They're cheap compared to the Botcon ones, at least

$250 US for Dirge or Thrust alone I think they used to hit. Yikes

Yeah I ended up succumbing to eBay and just went ahead and bought them seeing as it wasn't likely someone here was going to be offloading them anytime soon.

They worked out at about $100 each including shipping from Singapore which isn't too bad I suppose.

At least the pricing of the Henkei's are easier to stomach than $250+ each for a Botcon version (Dirge isn't even a proper remold with correct wings - just a repaint of Ramjet) :eek:

I think you did pretty well with that price. The Henkei Thrust and Dirge are good because they have the added appeal of wing modifications, compared to other exclusives which are basically repaints.

Botcon Alpha Trion comes with Huffer, right?

If you manage to see one that's got both for a non astronomical price, do send me a yell because I do want Huffer

Added the following to my wants:

Henkei Strafe (http://tfwiki.net/w2/images2/8/8d/Gentei-strafe-g1-toy.jpg) - Yes I know the redeco is rather fugly to look at and even looks worse than Henkei Cyclonus, but hey, it's such a great mold!

Universe Skyfall (http://tfwiki.net/w2/images2/c/cc/Universe2008toy-SkyfallUltra.jpg) - Despite how much I despise this mold, I think this redeco looks cool and I'm somewhat a completist since I already have Silverbolt & Darkwind, so need this one to finish it off.

Universe Hardhead (http://tfwiki.net/w2/images2/4/45/Universe2008toy-HardheadUltra.jpg) - Don't like the redeco too much, particularly his shield, but Onslaught is such a cool mold and is the best Ultra toy in the Universe range, so why not?

TFSource still temporarily has Strafe at USD 69 ("Holiday Sale! Box as-is") which is the best deal I've seen. Their shipping is typically reasonable for their location.

Removed some previously wanted items (secured Skyfall & Hardhead via eBay and Strafe via jgon)... added ALTERNITY CONVOY (RED) to my list.

Anyone got one spare they wanna sell? :D

Can be loose as long as it's in tip top shape - the thought of paying $120+ for one off eBay is kinda hard to stomach. :o

Still searching for:

Cybertron Defense Scattorshot (so many members have expressed interest in offloading and then reneged/changed their minds/disappeared for some reason?)
Movie Fracture (seeing as it was a US Walmart exclusive, I can't imagine there being many here in Oz)

Vector Prime

23rd February 2010, 02:26 PM

Added this guy (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Swerve_%28Chevy%29) to my wants list... only just stumbled across it randomly the other day and I found the whole story behind it very intriguing... plus he looks great and would fit in perfectly with my classics/universe collection.

So does anyone here have one they're willing to offload at a reasonable price, or do I have to resort to paying drug money on evil-Bay? :D

That Swerve is nice, it's a shame it never got a wide release. You can get them for about $80. (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/TRANSFORMERS-MOVIE-ROTF-CHEVROLET-AVEO-SWERVE-MISP-RARE_W0QQitemZ190375241942QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_De faultDomain_2?hash=item2c533fa8d6)

Yeah I've been in negotiations with that seller ;)

I was hoping to get one closer to home since he's based in Canada (and we all know what shipping from Canada is like) :rolleyes:

But if there isn't anyone here who has one for sale, I might just bite the bullet and get one from him.

They were initially only available in China if you test drove an Aveo. They dried up, price went up. Then, GM Europe had a few for sale from their site and the price dropped again. They dried up, price went up. Lastly, GM Canada released a bucketload in Canada, and the price dropped again. I'm not sure there'll be another opportunity for the price to drop again.

I am also interested in getting a Aveo Swerve, maybe we can buy 2 or 3 from a Canadian to reduce the shipping?

I already went ahead and purchased one off eBay seeing as it was unlikely that someone here would have one for sale.

I managed to negotiate it down to $80 USD including shipping to Oz.

It's the cheapest price I could find anywhere.

This is the guy (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/TRANSFORMERS-MOVIE-ROTF-CHEVROLET-AVEO-SWERVE-MISP-RARE_W0QQitemZ190375241942QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_De faultDomain_2?hash=item2c533fa8d6) I got it off... his BIN price is $74.99 + shipping, but msg him and ask him to confirm shipping costs to Oz (should be about $20) and then make him an offer at $60.

He originally declined and wanted $90USD inc shipping, but if you stand your ground with him, he'll eventually cop $80.

Good luck with it. :D

I've copied my other thread to here.

Due to my fascination with robots wielding large swords (and my recent acquisitions of Energon & Dark Saber (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showpost.php?p=206460&postcount=302)), I'm trying to track down the Cryo Saber (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Blizzard_Saber).

It comprised of Snowblind, Lens & Quantum who were only available individually blind packed in the second wave of the Micron Booster packs in Japan so I know it's a tough ask (since there aren't even any listed on eBay), but one can only hope I guess.

So, if anyone has a set they want to offload, reply here or shoot me a PM.

To a lesser degree, I wouldn't mind getting duplicates of the other 'saber teams' either (Star Saber (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Star_Saber_(Armada)#Armada), Energon Saber (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Energon_Saber#Energon) & Dark Saber (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Vorpal_Saber#Micron_Densetsu)), so let me know.

So in order of priority and preference:
1. Cryo Saber (http://tfwiki.net/w2/images2/8/81/BlizzardSaber.jpg)
2. Star Saber
3. Energon Saber
4. Dark Saber

I've also added Henkei (or Classics) Ratchet to my wants list.

Complete wants list is on the first post (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showpost.php?p=132169&postcount=1) and on my signature... can anybody here help me out?

Heard he goes for a good price, which is what I need to feed my United purchases at the end of the month - though I have a feeling a pretty price is not what you wish to pay :-)

I've already got two of the one you're talking about - that's a Leader class size whereas this is smaller than a Deluxe figure and is partially diecast with massive amounts of articulation and poseability.
