August Acquisitions

[Hursticon]

Finally got the time to post this.

*snip*

So glad I finally have a complete one. Only need to fix up one hand by transplanting a hand from my other one with the peg still on it.

Congrats man, that's a damn nice Sharkticon you've got there and complete to boot! :D:D:D

[SharkyMcShark]

Is that Cybertron Scattorshot any good? I picked up the Galaxy Force Version from Freaks and Geeks in the city for $2AUD when it was closing down about a year back but I've not yet opened it.

[GoktimusPrime]

I think it's a nice figure, although the leg articulation's a bit limited.

[blackoptimus]

Got my hands on Masterpiece Grimlock. Very nice toy. Worth $150? I'm not sure. The other Half was not happy about. (Or could that be because I've blown 2k in last two days on Transformers?)

Is pac fair TRU selling them?

[Tallestblue]

Yeah they are, but After I bought mine there was one left, and that was on friday. Fingers crossed for you it's still there.

[SharkyMcShark]

I decided that I was bored enough to do a photo of my acquisitions thus far this month.

http://img843.imageshack.us/img843/1030/img0376s.jpg

Brakedown is to replace one I repainted, and the Classics Rodimus was Llamatron's slightly broken one that I combined with my own slightly broken one for a fully working one (which turned out to be a lot cheaper than just buying a new one... damn you FP!)

[liegeprime]

My Parra Fair haul :D

Selected some melee weapons ( :Dthanks to Gutsman for the idea) for my G1 Pretenders, an axe (sorta) for Doubleheader, a spartan looking sword fro Pincher and a Halbred which will be somehow "tapered" into a Hapoon like weapon later on, also appropriated a trident in the weapons that came with Castle Grayskull as it has a better look than Merman's

Dear Anubis!

How in the Hell did you get all that in your little cart Liege? :p:D
That is a very, very nice haul indeed, some very nice pieces to say the least. :D

[liegeprime]

Well Castle Grayskull folds so it fits diagonally in my Upgraded cart:D and all the rest doesn't really take much space, oh and I have a backpack as well coz I needed to pack Iceburn's stuff as well heheheh:p

[dirge]

Ah liege, so you got the Cliffjumper. I was trying to see if there was a Cliffjumper in Wickster's loot - you must've beat me to it.

No matter. I'm very happy with how much I found.

My haul today:
http://www.paxeiro.com/newstuff/220810.jpg
Strafe (from Skyshadow), Sandstorm (griffin) & WFC Prime at the fair. Yoda from Big W on the way home (and cheap - they had the wrong price on the peg, was only $25).

[5FDP]

I didn't even see you:p Did you manage to catch up with Rampage?

Sorry that we missed each other. Would've been nice to catch-up. I was the guy wearing the grey beanie (the only one there wearing a beanie from memory).

I spent most of the time talking to a friend that came with me. He's not into Transformers so he kinda felt slightly out of place otherwise I would've spent more time with you guys.

I didn't see Rampage. Did he show?

[optimus1]

Nice stuff guys! I also got a good haul: mostly from other board members though.

Will post up my stuff - when I find my camera. Argh!!!! :eek::o

[GoktimusPrime]

Yeah, Rampage was there. I did tell him that you were looking for him. Rampage was wearing non-TF "civvies" which makes him harder to identify too. :p ;)

[Autocon]

close up of airazors minicon please! :)

[liegeprime]

Ah liege, so you got the Cliffjumper. I was trying to see if there was a Cliffjumper in Wickster's loot - you must've beat me to it.


yeah it was with a packed loot with other Universe legends, I asked Jaime if he was willing to split him out as I only needed Cliffy.

@Autocon, sorry for crappy photos, my ol camera is getting blurrier and blurrier as it ages heheh:D but here's some close up pics for you. Included a pic of his recolours into other minicon characters, as the black colour scheme he has doesnt really show much his details.

[5FDP]

Not yet in my possession but something I won this morning on Ebay - Commodore 64 Transformers game. Got up early to make sure I didn't get sniped.

There was one featured on TFW (http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/featured-ebay-auctions-32/featured-ebay-auction---commadore-64-g1-video-game-170406/) the other week but unfortunately I missed out on that one.

Very happy with this rare and complete item :D

Very happy with this rare and complete item :D

That is awesome man!, I love old PC games (I still play Doom, II :p) so this acquisition scores extra points! :D
Now, I'm going to assume that you've got a Commodore64 lying around 5FDP? or are you going to make an image of it and run it on an emulator?

For those curious, see this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9vVSixDfCU). :D

[Gutsman Heavy]

hmm I wonder if I still have my copy of the C64 game...

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

That would be a nice assumption but unfortunately no :( I had a Commodore 128 which died loooong ago. I bought the game mainly for the 'novelty' factor :cool: :)

[1AZRAEL1]

[kelvinchang99]

My recent haul and new items arrived today. Havent posted for a long time so this is probably the first in 2010.

http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg67/kelvinchang99/DSC00384.jpg

Blurr, Counterpunch and Dirge are the ones that arrived today. Blurr is a great figure. Dirge is quite nice and Counterpunch, love it.

[liegeprime]

generations dirge?!?! is it out already?

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

Vector Prime got here from Blackie.

[1AZRAEL1]

I think he got it from overseas, as well as Blurr.

In the Immortal words of Eric Cartman to Kenny McCormack:
"God Damn I Hate You Kenny!" - :p:D JK.

Nice haul there Kelvin, I so want wave 2 and 3 of Generations to arrive over here already!

My acquisitions today come from RobotKingdom (http://www.robotkingdom.com/services/eshop/main.php?lang=us) and BookDepository.com (http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/):

Masterpiece Grimlock
Warman's Transformers: Field Guide


http://i1032.photobucket.com/albums/a409/Darkone666au/AUG24ACQ-1.jpg

http://i1032.photobucket.com/albums/a409/Darkone666au/AUG24ACQ-2.jpg

I must say, MP Grimmy arrived from RK damn bloody quick!
From payment to arrival was less than a week, so I'm definitely going to purchase from RK again and would like to thank Kurdt for pointing out the $45 saving (compared to TRU Australia) and Griffin for reassuring me on shopping with RK. :D

In contrast, the Field Guide took 23 days to arrive after payment though I still am impressed with the prices of BookDepository.com and I'd like to thank Bartrim for pointing out the site, as I've also ordered Transformers: Exodus. :D

And for the sake of it, here is a comparison shot between G1 Grimlock and his Masterpiece upgrade:


http://i1032.photobucket.com/albums/a409/Darkone666au/AUG24ACQ-3.jpg

I am digging the hell out of MP Grimmy - A truly awesome figure, regardless of his in-complexity (just the way Grimlock would have it IMO :p). :D:D:D

[iceburn]

lucky you Hurst..my 3 MP Grimlock got lost in the mail since 13 Aug!!! and it's been more than a week

[Bartrim]

Received Legacy of Unicron TPB from Book depository.

[primatives]

Hey Hursticon how were the books packaged?? Is it thich cardborad so it doesn't get trashed on the way??? I ordered some books from them too hope they turn up in good condition :) Thanks

[Hursticon]

I noticed that thread, I'm really sorry to hear this Icey, nothing worse than figures MIA in the mail - I'm still waiting on a complete G1 Astrotrain from Nowra... 3 years and counting. :(


Received Legacy of Unicron TPB from Book depository.

Oh how I love free postage! :D will you be doing a review Bartrim?


Hey Hursticon how were the books packaged?? Is it thich cardborad so it doesn't get trashed on the way??? I ordered some books from them too hope they turn up in good condition Thanks

The book was packaged really well in a Bubble-Wrap Satchel, no cardboard but then the book is extremely thick for it's size so that probably helped.
The book looks brand new really and they seem to take real pride in their service, they are trying to compete with Amazon after all, so I reckon you should be in safe hands Primatives.

[GoktimusPrime]

http://i1032.photobucket.com/albums/a409/Darkone666au/AUG24ACQ-3.jpg
That looks uncomfortable. Remind me never to use your lip balm. :p ;) :p

[Doubledealer]

Been busy moving from one side of Australia to another (absolutely loving Perth so far, what a brilliant city!) and after living in my new digs for less than a week, what arrived this morning? My first RK order while living in Perth of course (was sweating like a blindfolded lesbian in a fish shop thinking the below Animated toys would sell out before I could make my order :p)!

Package contained:
-Hasbro MP Grimlock (gobsmacked by this toy like everyone else!)
-Animated Ironhide
-Animated Rodimus Minor
-Generations Darkmount

I'll talk about Darkmount as he's not in full circulation just yet. Rest assured, this guy won't disappoint! His 3 firearms are interchangable and simply clip onto different handles on the figure - a neat little feature which adds a bit of extra play value. Unlike Galvatron, Darkmount does the whole deluxe sized tank thing so much better - He doesn't feel flimsy, his transformation is smooth and not too complicated and the bold blue and red colours make him stand out and look imperial.

Fans of ROTF Voyager Bludgeon (everyone, right? ;)) will also appreciate how they've integrated his melee weapon into the tank design, it's brilliantly done! Another feature I love are his forearms, probably because they look like Animated Ultra Magnuses only scaled down, with added detail and inverted colours. In short, buy this toy!

Ooh!, some nice items in that lot Sharky, congrats! :D

I sold my BW Laserbeak ages ago thinking it was just another Fox Kids Repaint of the BW Terrorsaur mold, oh how I've learnt since. :(

Is it just me, or are the BM Vehicons some of the weirdest designed figures that HasTakTom have ever produced?

i think beast machines in general had some bizzar designs and autocon, the movie figs you posted has not arrived yet but there was a parcel pick up card in the letter box, so that at a guess could be the stuff waiting.

[GoktimusPrime]

with yellow hands yes. looks so wierd lol. looks more movieverse in that lot
Motorcycle Drone is quite show-accurate, so he does look quite Beast Machines. I don't think he looks movieverse at all really. Unlike Thrust and Tankor, the Motorcycle Drone and Tank Drone figures were created _after_ the show was made, thus are more show-like than their General counterparts.


i think beast machines in general had some bizzar designs
Indeed they did... but the Vehicons weren't quite as bizarre as the Maximals, and consequently tended to sell better than the Maximals (at least in my observation). Of course, Motorcycle Drone (as well as the entire Battle For The Spark line) never came out in Australia. :( :mad:

While the Vehicons' vehicle modes were highly stylised, you could recognise what they were. You look at Motorcycle Drone and you know it's a motorcycle (albeit scifiesque). The problem with a lot of the Maximals was that you'd look at the toys' alt mode and think, "What the <expletive> is that?!?" Silverbolt's a classic example. Technorganic condor my waste disposal unit!

it is a shame we never got any of the better moulds avaliable at retail here.. i have managed to chase most of them down.. still after a hammerstrike and the later dinobots but silverbolt he looked so bad i actually have not opened him he is still sealed up nice and tight..... he will stay that way i think

[llamatron]

It sucks because the design for Silverbolt on the show is really cool. =/

Back on topic: got the challenge for cybertron 3-pack from RobotKingdom. Can't wait to open it up tonight. :D

I don't Blame you Sharky, I share Goki's and your disdain for that horrible, horrible figure/mold/character design.

I mean, how could you go from this; 2441 to this: 2442 ???

Im kind of an idiot, because I mentally mixed up Legends and Activators, so I thought Prowl and BB would be bigger. Genius right? But hey, Ironhide is awesome!

Curse your rucky victolians! I checked out my local stores yesterday and no sign of Elita-1. :( I did get that Starscream "Traitor" shirt from Jayjays though.

[liegeprime]

For some reason HFTD comes out in my mind as Hard Finding Toy Decepticons whehehehe.. I dont know, might be hungry or something :p

@HD - WOW:eek:

[JuzMel]

Deceptic_Optic, you have very nice posing pics of your acquis! Is that a custom Autobot Command Center you have in the background? :)

Anyway my acquis from Friday - went shopping with mum and we popped into Jay Jays and I saw these new TF shirts and just couldn't resist!

[Lord_Zed]

This one arrives today! :D

http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m205/de3dz/JPEG0145-2.jpg

Hehe, that crazy Blur!

I so need that figure.

First you get da speed, den you get de power, then you get the women.:D

[The Scream Man]

so I had an animated Shockwave arrived today....but he isnt what I expected! i didnt realise there were 3 versions of the character, so as well as the Purple one i had (which will stay in Decepticon mode) I now have a silver/green/black one! I didnt even know it CAME in this colour scheme, so I was just looking at the ebay pic and going "Yep, That's the grey one!

What a pain :(

edit: or is it? Maybe i am wrong, and there are only 2 versions? Is he supposed to have a Con symbol on the rifle barrel and Silver faction logos on the chest? i assumed that Longarm/Shockwave was a lighter grey and had proper coloured faction logos!

COnfused...

[griffin]

Post up a photo. I'm only aware of the 2 Hasbro versions, and the JP versions are basically the same colourings... so not aware of a 'green' version. (could be some other JP version though)

[SharkyMcShark]

The fun keeps on going with lose complete G1 Sunstreaker and Universe Inferno (blackoptimus and hanprimus respectively)

Thanks guys!

[Deceptic_Optic]

Hehe, that crazy Blur!

Fire engine this time out.

The Universe 1.0 release is one of the few versions of that mold I don't have (that and Sunstreaker)

[klystron]

This is actually a JULY aquisition, but I could not accept him into my collection until the missing part (see "messed up RK order" thread) arrived and he was complete.
But here is my BIG CONVOY (with his BW Convoy brethren).

http://i33.tinypic.com/71ts78.jpg

Funny how Big Convoy is actually the smallest of the Convoys...

Awesome shot and congrats on finally getting that part. :D

I'm seriously considering both Big and Lio Convoys, they do look rather impressive, hell I might even purchase Stampy - and reenact the closing scene of Doom. :p:D

[klystron]

Big Convoy has quickly become one of my most favourite figures. Not that I am condoning the proliferation of shellformers, but he is RAD!

[Lint]

My 10th Anniversary Waspinator slipped in before the end of the month!

[liegeprime]

i want that mug!!!!! so kawayi!!


nice acquisitions liege, love that you are photographing in the basement and using not-Teletraan as backdrop!

heheheh Cheers guys.:D

@ Icy: I got the mug from Ioffer.com. although I believe it would be cheaper to get it from the seller's source - www.l-house.cn.
I wouldve bought from there myself but my computer doesnt do the translation driver thingy from chinese to english. So I had to settle buying by third party. mebbe you can and when you do buy , order for me as well heheheeh. I wouldnt mind a lot of extras of it for gifts to relos in the future.
Theres 4 more design variation as well as shirt prints using this design.:D

@ HD: yeah hehehe, very convenient backdrop it is. rather than having the collection figures behind which makes it look too busy loosing focus on the current "feature" toy. Need better lighting though:o

[Stompy]

Been a while since I've bought this much in a month:

http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk269/StompBrother/2010AugustLoot.jpg

Locally:
- Takara Animated Arcee - from the cool cat himself, Iceburn (I finally have her!)

From RK:

[jazzcomp]

[Deceptic_Optic]

Deceptic_Optic, you have very nice posing pics of your acquis! Is that a custom Autobot Command Center you have in the background? :)

Sorta it was supposed to be in 3d dimension but its just freaking hard to put together il take photo when i get a chance. I only made it to make my back ground look good when i take photos :)

Some very late eBay purchases..

All purchased MISN, however, quite ironically, both Rotf Ramjet and Classics Ramjet both have their plastic packaged damaged... seemingly rammed.

After taking the photo, Movie 2007 Fracture crashed onto the floor.

(I know, it's Transformers humour so it's super-:cool:)
