April Acquisitions.

[Paulbot]

Pulse, I am a sucker for that one! But I usually scour the store before they need to talk me into it!

+1 :D

Arrived today: My first issue of the Collectors Club magazine, an RID Stormjet from Griffin, and a Doubledealer from the UK.

[Bartrim]

received Beast Wars season 3. Let the journey continue. (I may even go into Beast Machines after this)

The feeling of spending unplanned-for funds has subsided today & the anticipation has kicked in - I'm getting a Silverbolt & Inferno!

Yay, Yay, Yay-Yay-Yay,
Ya, Ya, Ya-Ya-Ya!
:D:p:D

[Fungal Infection]

Arrived today:

Might end up selling it though because the sticker sheet is incorrect. Seller has offered a partial refund so I'll see how much he offers before I make a decision. Such a shame as this was only one of three items I needed to complete my G1 collection and its in fantastic shape.

I don't know how you're gonna get a sticker sheet for that. Reprolabels has squat & Demonbay has zilch. What if you just went without?

[iceburn]

Melbourne's Group Order all thanks to Kyle and his friend!

The funny thing is the sticker sheet this belongs to, Barrage, is currently enroute to me from the same seller with the same sticker sheet. And since my collection consists only of c8 or higher, 100% complete with stickers transformers, I can't go without the stickers which means it will probably be sold off.

Well done dirge! My tongue is dragging along the floor...

'Tis the eHobby way

[dirge]

e-Hobby packaging is often fairly generic, and not toy specific. However since these toys represent the same characters as the standard Encores, they've just used the existing packaging.

I can understand why - it keeps the production cost down on these low-production-run figures. And when you consider that e-Hobby toys sell for retail prices, that saving is passed on to the buyer.

[Pulse]

Those 6 eHobby's must have set you guys back a goddamn fortune! :eek:

[dirge]

Nah, Pulse. Picked them up for about $55-60 each. I have a friend in Japan who pre-ordered them on my behalf. He actually sent eight, the others were picked up from work (I have a PO box near work) by Klownkiller.

Oh :), in that case I wonder why BBTS jacks up their prices so high?

[dirge]

I'd say they are likely to pay more than I do, because they're probably paying import duties. Of course, they have to pay their bills and take some money home to feed the kids and such.

In that context, their prices aren't all that bad. BTW, in 12 months, you'd be lucky to find either toy on eBay for less than $100US.

[sanbot]

I got Jetfire from DJ's the other week for $50. I'll post pic later.

I'm having lots of fun with this one.

[i_amtrunks]

Spotlight: Grimlock.

Was lucky as they were putting him out on the shelf as I walked in, and Phantomzone Chatswood do not normally restock until Friday morning. (had to go in today to get MarioKart).

[Borgeman]

almost 3 weeks after i had paid for it, the Matrix statue finally came in the mail - they took 2 weeks between payment and posting - wtf??? anyway i have it and i love it :D

George

[iceburn]

very nice and full of envy :P

[Paulbot]

I got the Grimlock Spotlight comic today and am a little annoyed that it's been printed badly with text running off the page in several places. Do others have that problem with their copies?

[Kyle]

Finally found myself a Legends Bumblebee vs Scorponok 2-pack from Kmart today. My collection of the little bots is complete~ (for now~) :)

[autobreadticon]

i got a starscream table cloth, y oh y did i buy it?

[STL]

Wow. Lovely Smokescreen, Kelvin! That's just hot!

[kelvinchang99]

Thanks guys for the comments. I say, its the 1 time in the year I get to spoil myself without having to worry too much about my better half.

This was my April Acquisition. I have a few more things coming and will update in May when they arrive. I think you guys will like it as I was amazed by this customiser. Learning from this dude too.

Here's the awaiting May items list:

Alternators/Binaltech:
Grapple Custom
Inferno Custom
Ironhide Custom
Ratchet Custom
Bumblebee Custom
Cliffjumper Custom

And this little beauty from my mate at Cyberfembot. This was a WIP pic he showed me of the figure I ordered. Still yet to undergo the Green G1 colour makeover.

Looking forward to it..

It's being made by these guys = http://www.cyberfembot.com/CustomToys/index.htm (scroll down a bit)

[jaydisc]

:eek: Holy Shi...


*Jaw Drops*

I had both reactions!

[i_amtrunks]

Cryo Scourge arrived yesterday.

Never got the original, so he is my stand in. too bad he doesnt come with the leader Jungle key.

[Saintly]

nice customed devastator!

[kelvinchang99]

Yeah, the cyberfembot guys do a nice custom. I got them to change the head so its more G1 look and they love the new head. They will probably sell their devastator from now on with the option of the new head..

But I will get mine first hehehehe....

I got in touch with them end of last year. Very nice bunch of guys. Also, they have the awesome Arcee range too.

I got them to do me up a Pink version. Will post some pics when that arrive too.

Regards,

kelvin

[liegeprime]

Do the pieces of Devastator transform?

[kelvinchang99]

No.. unfortunately, they are separate vehicle pieces and not tranformable robots. Thats the one thing I wished he could've gotten right so its just the devastator.

Glad you have received them. :)

Be careful with the axe. What we noticed is that the guy who made these has made the connecting pin a little too thick. I recommend sanding it slightly before trying to fit it into the wrist holes of Prime.

[Tiby]

No probs - thanks for the tip!

Recent Acquisitions:
proto Prime & Sscream (and one for jay - THANKS GRIFF)
Premium Prime and Megs! Awesome!!! :D

[Pulse]

I was in Richmond/Windsor today on a work-related matter when I stopped into this store http://www.truelocal.com.au/business/the-toy-barn/richmond I hadn't been up that way in more than 6 months but over the years, I've acquired both Alt Nem Prime & Binaltech Blue Prowl from them (Sometimes you find pure gold in these "Mom-&-Pop Stores"). So when I popped in, I found this guy :). Being a reasonable price was all the excuse I needed, so Binaltech Swindle ended up coming home with me. :D

http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn204/Pulse_Warrior/Acquisitions/BinaltechSwindleMISB.jpg

http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn204/Pulse_Warrior/Acquisitions/BinaltechSwindle-Free.jpg

http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn204/Pulse_Warrior/Acquisitions/BinaltechSwindle-Transform.jpgThat's the flash doing that to his visor

He's Awesome! :D

Swindle's ended up replacing Alt Rollbar in my Alt/Binaltech collection (I know it's really frivolous but I want to keep my Alt's/Binaltech at an even number of 20) but not before Rollbar donated his chrome bullbar to Swindle as out-of-the-box, Swindle's bullbar was beginning to let the black basecoat show through (I ended up swapping the bullbars after I took the pics). I'm sure Alt Rollbar will find a good home when he's donated away to those kids in my street :).

I'm really impressed by the TS Bumblebee. Much bettter than TS Optimus and the parts fit together better. Those put off by TS Prime might find TS BB a better buy.

[dirge]

Yeah, I'm running out :D

Overcast and Cliffjumper Deluxes! Thanks lhec! :D

[sifun]

It was fairly expensive, 3680 yen from hlj shipped = 38aud. Though cheaper than most places actually.

[i_amtrunks]

Remind me to bring a backpack to carry those titaniums home Dirge...

And I would never have guessed that a Richmond store would have BT... anything else decent out there Pulse? Like older tf stuffs?

Got me another G1 Kup and Dragstrip for me to try and ruin by repainting.
Gonna have to get the sand paper out this time.

I guess this is one of those "Mom-&-Pop" stores that exist out in the blue yonder... :D

The last time I was out that way (some 6 months back) I can also remember finding a Binaltech Ravage & Hound (but my Alt Hound & Ravage are great figures :)). Neither the Binaltech Ravage or Hound were there yesterday.

No older TFs. Like everywhere else, they also have the current lines.

Thanks Ice for Alpha Quintesson. He's coming out later tonight.

The stuff I got this month. In setting up this photo I lost 9 TF movie cards behind my shelves likely never to be seen again for months :(

Oopsy...what are the numbers??? need replenishment??

[STL]

Wow, Paulbot, you got Doubledealer? Cover me green.

And you finally grabed the the Premiere HC. ;)

[Paulbot]

Iceburn, I lost the last nine cards behind my shelves but I know I can get them out again, eventually.

STL, Doubledealer is very cool. I was surprised that both engines plug into the same place but cleverly only unlock their appropriate alt mode. I got the Premiere HC via Amazon along with the GIJOE/TF Hardcover to save some money, but the dustcovers got a bit banged up on the way over :(

[iceburn]

ahhh no spares for those as bread was excited about the "animation" cards and i gave him the last 5

[jaydisc]

I'm disappointed that I've posted this so late as it probably won't get as noticed as it should... Some of you might have already seen the artist's thread with pics anyway.

My First Custom

I recently acquired Protoform Prime. I had no intention of collecting either Protoforms, but the price was right ($15). Anyway, I was chatting with LCZ about how much I surprisingly liked the figure. He was on the lookout for the figure as well with the intention to paint. With that planted in my head, I thought about how the figure's finish really didn't do it justice. Here was this blob hurdling through intergalactic space. It shouldn't look so pristine and like dark blue plastic. It should look like worn metal. So, I cut LCZ loose and got a fantastic result!

Without further ado:

http://lindalane.com/temporary/tf/protoform1.jpg

Thank you LCZ!!!!!!!!!!!

No. I don't find that mold nearly as impressive.

[Kyle]

Very nice work by LCZ!

[griffin]

Very late, but have been busy editting 256 botcon photos, and now working on the full report (mostly for my own records, but also for anyone else interested in reading it).
This photo is pretty much all my April Acquisitions, which is actually my 'BotCon Haul' photo. I only got two items in April that weren't from BotCon, which I guess could be a little disappointing, but March was a huge month, and I was really cutting back on TFs purchases before the big trip. The only two items I got in April that are not in this photo are Animorphs Viser 3 Ultra sized figure (no one will care if it isn't shown), and Time Warrior Watch (just a bit of merchandise most people either know or don't care... or both). :)

At the top - box to the convention set, RobotMasters 01 Convoy, Kissplay Worlds Smallest Autorooper with Atari figure, Anniversary Superlink Convoy with Kicker, BattleScene Bumblebee.
Next 'row' - Convention Comic, Animated mini-poster, Transparent BT Mirage, Worlds Smallest TFs Megatron Vs Optimus box, Ehobby Black Ironhide, BattleScene Scorponok, Animorphs box.
Next 'row' - Name badge, Postcard-sized flyer, Biocards, ANimated DVD, TFs post-it notes, Animorphs Tobias/Hawk, X-Dimension Space Team, G2 green Slag, Black RobotMasters Megatron, JP Beast Wars Returns Stryka (in show colours), Cybertron Poster.
The rest from left to right, going from top to bottom - Animated Starscream, 2-pack Optimus, Voyager Megatron, Prowl, Bumblebee, Lockdown, Bulkhead, WST Megatron and Optimus, Animated 2-pack Megatron, Deluxe Optimus, Premium Barricade, Premium Jazz, Premium Bumblebee, X-Dimension Street Speed Team (Blue), JP Beast War Returns Thrust (show colours), JP Paradron Medic (green Energon Arcee), BotCon Jazz, Botcon Ricochet, SCF Super Ginrai, SCF Victory Saber, SCF Grimlock, SCF Minerva, SCF truck mode Convoy, BotCon Rampage, BotCon Divebomb, BotCon Razorclaw, BotCon Rodimus, Optimus, Megatron, Bumblebee, Starscream, Blurr, Grimlock, Whisper, Sideswipe.
Looks like I didn't include the various comics I got over there as well, which included Trades/compilations of both IDW Beast Wars series, Spotlight Vol 2, Megatron Origin, Avengers Vs Transformers, plus the first issue of the Movie Sequel comic, Focus On Decepticons, Official Convention 2004 program Guide (one I didn't go to), GI Joe Vs TFs Vol 3 and half of Vol 4, and the Takara Visual Works book.

From last year's BotCon I brought back more Transformers items, but many were figurines like Robot Heros or SCFs, making this the best year so far with actual transforming Transformers. And that was despite having unexpected money troubles. :)

http://www.otca.com.au/m25.jpg

[Paulbot]

You win April! Wowzers.

[Kyle]

Drool... :p

[STL]

Looks like Griffin didn't get very much at all for April. I'm sure he could use a few more TFs.

[Pulse]

and Time Warrior Watch (just a bit of merchandise most people either know or don't care... or both). :)


Wowza! If you don't mind me asking, how much did he happen to set you back?

Oh & I happened to notice that you acquired no new late Japanese G1 at Botcon. Did you not find anything that interested you or you did but their asking prices were over-inflated?

[1orion2many]

:eek:OOOOOOoooooo, very nice haul Griffin:).

[autobreadticon]

wow Griffin, good haul
Kissplay Worlds Smallest Autorooper with Atari figure - interesting.

[Tropisetron]

Cool! Love those animated TF!

Time Warrior cost me about $60. And there wasn't much to offer this year for JP Gen1. The two JP dealers who are there most years had heaps of recent stuff (like from the last year). Probably good that there wasn't anything there this year, because I wouldn't have been able to buy it.


wow Griffin, good haul
Kissplay Worlds Smallest Autorooper with Atari figure - interesting.

That's one way of describing it. The set is both amazing (Autorooper's complex tiny transformation is almost identical to the BT transformation) and disturbing (Atari's unnecessary panty pose has me thinking about the perverted pleasure some Japanese sculpter had moulding the figurine and putting in all its curves and grooves). Not to mention all the depraved artwork covering the entire packaging, with multiple semi-erotic poses by the girl.
Glad that toyline didn't last long, so that collectors of Transformers toys didn't have to end up with too many of those weird figurines or packaging.

I'd still wish they didn't cancel the set with WST Kiss Convoy in it. :/

[autobreadticon]

Griffin i was more interested in the WST transformer :p
cant excatly look it up cause im at uni , but its the first time i heard Kiss player having mini transformers :cool:

Well, it was just the one WST for Kissplay. But the odd thing about the toys released for Kissplay was the inconsistent variety. They had three Binaltech recolours (each with girl figurines that show off their underwear), then the WST and Atari figure (who also shows off her underwear) I got above, a 3-pack of recoloured Cassettes, a 3-pack of 'Sparkbots' eggbots (transform into spheres on keychains), and a black recolour of the Atari figure (doesn't come with the WST though).

The Dodge Ram Convoy was initially to be released in WST scale as well, also with a bigger Melissa figure. It got cancelled due to low sales of certain items in the line.

A bit late, yes, but I finally got off my ass and took the pics from Aprils stuff.

Most of it was from Robot Kingdom (love that mob). A lot of the Galaxy Force I already have the Hasbro versions of but just wanted to get the improved/better paint apps on the GF versions since I love these figures a lot.

And you might notice that I'm a proud owner of a MIB Overlord that didn't cost me an arm or leg. :)

And Terrorsaur completes my Season One BW figures. From Season 2 I now only lack x-9.... :( And Season 3 I still need a fair few. I get this custom Terrorsaur for a very nice cheap price and probably close to what I'd have to pay for a normal one anyway. I'm very happy and it is substantially more show accurate which certainly helps.

Ah STL, Can I ask where did you happen to get that boxed Overlord from?

Was it through a friend of a friend of a friend or something like that?

Nope, nope. It was just very fortunate. 'Twas eBay who was my friend. A guy listed it at a very decent price and then had a make an offer. I couldn't really afford the decent price so threw in a cheap offer expecting it to be rejected immediately. To my pleasant shock, he accepted it. And the rest, as they say, is history. :D
