As I hadn't obtained any new TFs for over a month, I decided to go and pick one up.

So I headed to the Big W in Macquarie Centre after uni was done for the day and obtained Animated Soundwave.

I have to say, the SUV mode is a brilliant means of both giving Soundwave a much-needed alt mode update and of making a cool tribute to his original alt mode.

Also he has a transforming guitar. This is awesome.

Haven't seen him yet. I got spooked when Mindwipe was released (wave 7) and Bludgeon is wave 6 so I just got Tomy Takara version from ebay AUD$39.99 + AUD$15.00 postage. I can live with that.

BTW awesome figure and more available

> Icepick gun (This completes my Monstructor set 100% :D)
> Botcon'09 Thunderclash - I must say that I am disappointed by the Energon Rodimus mold and the use of a creamy color instead of white. However the toy is a decent enough tribute of the character and since I didn't pay much for him, its alright.
> Two G1 Prime missiles for a G1 OP I am building up as a side project.

Ratbat arrives! Looks great but unfortunately he's very fragile (mine is at least). I managed to snap his head off about 5 seconds into his transformation so a word of warning - be verrry careful when twissling his head around, it's on a ball joint and mine was incredibly tight so as soon as I applied too much resistance the whole thing snapped off. :/ Another thing that bugged me is he can't stand independantly - he can only stand if attached to the roof of Soundblaster or if propped against something.

Australia Post was good to me today... arriving in today's mail (in order of preference and awesomeness!):

1. Chevy Aveo Swerve - courtesy of eBay purchase.

The quickest I have ever received anything internationally, let alone from Canada! :eek:

This guy is just pure awesome! So poseable and just an all round cool looking dude in his robot mode - his alt mode (as a Chevy Aveo aka Holden Barina sedan) sucks ass though! :p

I love this guy so much at the moment that I decided to post close ups of him in various kung fu poses in the action pose thread (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showpost.php?p=154084&postcount=1042).

2. Cybertron Defense Scattorshot - courtesy of OTCA member Sleeve.

Thanks for the hook up mate. Finally!!!! Now my collection of this mold is complete... :D

3. Henkei Strafe - courtesy of OTCA member jgon2098.

Thanks also for the hook up mate. Redeco of Cyclonus - cool mold to start with... 'nuff said! :cool:

4. Universe Hardhead & Skyfall - courtesy of eBay purchase.

US Walmart exclusives - big fan of the Onslaught mold, not a fan of the Silverbolt mold, but they were a package deal at a decent price and besides, they're US exclusives, so why not? :)

Came in the mail yesterday and I open and inspected together with my wife late last night - Mega Pretender Vroom.

Something that kup, liegeprime and myself have been hunting for some time, with each of us playing musical chairs as to who is going to bid on which Vroom auction. Bidded and won this at 7.30am on the day of the Parra Fair (21 Feb).

Got this one from an English lady. Very nicely packed and surprisingly very good condition. I'm glad that the stickers are all very pristine and new (since reprolabels do not have Vroom repros yet).

Comes with box, bubble and insert (missing instructions).

Here is the Aussie Vroom:

http://p11.hostingprod.com/@kupscigar.com/2010/040310.JPG

Unfortunately he is pretty yellowed despite being intact and complete. It's not possible to pull him apart either as he has massive pins holing him together. Removing them would mean breaking the plastic. I will have to think of something.

I think the key point is that he is complete. Can you soak the whole thing in peroxide solution do you think or would that be risky?

Yeah I am grateful that he is complete as that is really the hardest thing to accomplish with this toy.

When it comes to getting rid of his yellowing - I have put the whole shell minus his lower legs (can be removed) into a large glass container. I had to mix my new Hydrogen Peroxide solution with some older ones I had (which I felt had lost their effect) in order to fill it. Thankfully shortly after I placed the Vroom shell inside, bubbles begun to form on the surface so the chemical reaction that whitens the plastic is indeed taking place even if the new liquid is a bit diluted with some old and well used Hydrogen Peroxide.

That's what I thought too but its way too soon. Must be a visual effect from the glass container unless Vroom's plastic is more susceptible to Hydgrone Peroxide. We will see tomorrow evening after it has been exposed to the sun for the full day.

Also purchased City Commander upgrade kit from TFsource, Masterpiece Skywarp from eBay US and my Music Label Soundwave arrived on monday.
I'd like to thank JGon too as through 1AZRAEL1, JGon purchased ML Soundwave for me whilst in China so if you read this JGon Thank You So Very Much :D.

Last but not least I also purchased 2x City Commander and 1x Classics Soundwave Sticker sets from ReproLabels.

I wouldn't go that far but it is indeed a fine Legends toy. No reason for it to shelfwarm unless they are way overstocked.

I remember seeing the first few initially fly of the shelves and then after a few weeks, dozens of them reappeared and stayed.

Legends Hound is like $5. That's how much I bought him for over a year ago - Deluxe Universe Hound is $25-$30.

toy scale still applies even with Ravage. Both toys are excellent but given the amount of engineering that goes at the different price scales, its not really fair to compare them 1 one 1 with or without Ravage.

No home pictures - my camera has died - so here is a pic courtesy of TFwiki of my latest acquisition

http://tfwiki.net/w2/images2/d/de/UniverseDarkwindToy.jpg

$50 during the TRU sale. Better than the usual $70-$80 price tag. One of the battery covers is loose. I think the screw thread isn't locking or something, so I have temporarily used stickytape.

This was the ONLY other Ultra figure there apart from rows of Predacon Bruticus.

When my camera is working I will take a pic of Darkwing next to my custom classics Dreadwind.

Got this in today. So excited that I decided to take some pics now (rather than wait for the weekend as I usually do). This is one of my rare few early years G1 purchases in a long long time, maybe in the last 3 years (since I only buy early years stuff to upgrade).

These guys are the minty-est toys I've seen that are not MISB. The condition is unbelievable. The cardbacks (main reason I got these upgrades) are similarly immaculate.

I'm just swooning...

Yeah but that seems to be a full figure not an armor set for the 'white Prime' Magnus.

It's a model kit much like the Kabaya Primes, and you gotta paint it. You are right though, it is not an armor set. Don't think the Revoltech Magnus was released in abundance to warrant an upgrade though to make it profitable. Although I would hunt down a Revoltech if they made an upgrade for him that looked good :p

G'day guys, look who just landed at midday today:

I must say though, the quality control on MP Skywarp is a little bit disappointing, in that his left leg rattles a bit - pieces are like 'a thou' out when transforming him and the plastic just doesn't feel as good a quality as MP Starscreams'.

http://i1032.photobucket.com/albums/a409/Darkone666au/MRCH15ACQ-2.jpg

That being said, I looove F-15E Fighter Jets and these two put a smile on my face :D.

Does anyone know if Hasbro will be releasing MP Thundercracker for that matter? I know this is probably the wrong place to ask but can anyone shed any light?.

As for TC, one can only hope Hasbro will release him as well. Otherwise, you and me both have gotta look for the Japanese version :p

It's pretty superficial, can only really notice it if you look really close. That being said, I will still give him a new face anyway, just need to decide on which one.

G'day guys,

Blackie: Very nice acquisitions dude.

Happy Days today, here is what arrived:


Powermaster Prime - $36.50 from eBay

I was astounded at the condition of this guy, the only things missing are his white gun and black cannon. Stickers are in great condition albeit the ones on the rear of the trailer (feet) and the windows on the front of the cab.

Don't plug in any of the Raptor jets into Skyquake's scope before loosening the scews a little bit first. You need to do that in order to minimize the pressure on the plastic or it will break.

Most certainly the original one and not Encore. He really is a gorgeous piece as well. Only flaw at all I could notice was a piece of the foam was damaged and glued back on. But I'm not complaining :D

The reason why I got two Runamucks was because the auction had two in it, lol. Whilst I only needed one I thought I might choose the better of the two and sell off the other one at the Para-fair if I can make it as with my other Outback.

I picked up a JUSTITOYS WST Shockwave from Robot Kingdom and he rocks! Such an awesome little figure. Wish I had an upgraded Bruticus to hold him now.

Oh nice! I thought he came with the upgrade fist? guess not:D picspicspics!

This is going to be my last acquisition for a while. Construction has started on my new 'transformers / spare room' and the costs are already starting to pile up :mad:

Anyway, if this is my last for a while, I couldn't be happier as I scored myself (finally) one of my holy grails - MISB EHOBBY ANIME BLUSTREAK :D

Also included below are a few items that I picked up over the last several weeks, I just haven't had a chance to post photos.

Thanks to Jgon for four Terrorcon limbs to attach to my Hun-Gurrr (they arrived today - thanks J!). It was also a good security measure to stop me from liberating the MOSC ones I'd bought from him on a previous occasion:
