Excellent man, I'm glad you were able to find the pair, I've only got $19.96 left on my Lay-by :D
(P.S. I got your msg today) ;)

[fatbot]

Takara Animated Rodimus - Thanks Paulbot!

[Doubledealer]

Must...resist...opening. :p Would love to see photo's though, persuade away!

[Lord_Zed]

Today from Target:

Haven't opened Breacher yet, but I'm slightly disappointed by Insecticon.

How odd the exact two TF's I got this week.

Now if I can just find some deluxes.

its the same.. but orange... :p

[dirge]

I finally managed to find a Terradive (Target Hurstville) and also nabbed Tomahawk on my search (Target Bankstown).

Breacher, from the other night, seriously rocks, BTW.

[Hammerstorm]

Got Cyb Megs and Darkmount from Big W, awesome figures.

I finally found these two strangers last week, things are to slow down here. :(

[Doubledealer]

Gah! I'm flailing like a Sloth in a washing machine trying to find a Terradive. I tried 3 separate Targets yesterday and today and did the same last weekend with no joy. Tried the same amount of Toyworlds over the last few weeks and nothing newer than Wave 1 Generations...Bleh.

On the plus side I've had these fellas drop in from ebay. Had fun today restoring them as best I can before new reprolabels arrive. Below is how they look after the plastic was bathed in Polident Denture Cleanser (this stuff is seriously frickin' awesome), the screws were bathed in Diet Coke to remove rust and the stickers were removed using Ventti Premium Lighter Fluid. If you're wondering where Cyclonus' gun is, it's sitting in a jar of H202 in the back yard. Gonna send the chrome parts on Galvatron off to NSW to be re-chromed if it's not too expensive (waiting on a quote for his 3 chrome parts) but otherwise I'll be spraying them with Spaz Stix Mirror Chrome. Will put up higher quality pics of the finished products in due course. :)

any Straxus? Help me buy if you find one please! :D

[GoktimusPrime]

On Thursday I found the reissue Transformers The Movie soundtrack at JB Hi-Fi. I've been looking for this album since Autocon mentioned he got it a while back... and I was expecting it to be just the same as the original TFTM CD (or cassette or LP :)) - but I was pleasantly surprised to discover that it's not.

Aside from an entirely different cover, it also features additional tracks that were never in the original album, such as score music from Vince DiCola and the Stan Bush version of the movie theme song. While these tracks are nothing new themselves, it was great to have them on the same CD as the vocal songs from TFTM. Yay! :)

[kup]

where from may I ask?



From Big W Chullora. It seems that today (Saturdat 25th) several Sydney Big Ws stocked on Generations wave 2.

Now that we have Starxus, they should release a Generations Scrounge :p

[Vector Sigma 13]

Generations Megatron and maybe Darkmount today? Im still not sold on darkmounts alt mode.

[GoktimusPrime]

I must say it's a lot better than his original G1 alt mode (http://tfwiki.net/w2/images2/2/20/Straxusaltmode.jpg), which is just too bizarre to sell to joe public. I don't mind the tank mode. I'm not a fan of the battle platform mode though... looks rather half-bummed.

[heroic_decepticon]

I must say it's a lot better than his original G1 alt mode (http://tfwiki.net/w2/images2/2/20/Straxusaltmode.jpg), which is just too bizarre to sell to joe public.

"Completing his transformation to his flying cannon mode, Straxus searches for his enemies..."

[kup]

The 'Battle platform' mode is supposed to be his flying canon mode but boy! It is certainly something they just made up, it's not part of the design at all, it's something someone clearly made up. At least they are not advertising it as a triple changer as that would be deceitful otherwise you could leave any TF in mid transformation and call it a 3rd mode.

[Gutsman Heavy]

Generations Megatron and maybe Darkmount today? Im still not sold on darkmounts alt mode.

I like half tread tanks, they're like the sporty cousins of the real thing. If it helps seal the deal, Darkmount is f'ing awesome, I'll also be grabbing the Skullgrin retool aswell :)

[Vector Sigma 13]

I got a better offer! Happened to stop by my local toyworld and discovered Generations Red Alert and Soundwave.

I like Skulgrin more than Darkmount-I like the head and i like the colours!

[1AZRAEL1]

I got a better offer! Happened to stop by my local toyworld and discovered Generations Red Alert and Soundwave.

Damn, lucky you. I can't wait to get my hands on those figures. Red Alert because I love that mold, and Soundwave because he is Soundwave :D

[Paulbot]

I purchased Darkmount and WFC Megatron from Big W on Friday night, and am disappointed in both, particularly WFC Megatron. I've put my comments in the review threads.

[GoktimusPrime]

Got Insecticon and Tomahawk today.

[Haphazard]

Yesterday I got HFTD Legends Ravage - he's so cute! o3o - and today ROTF Deluxe Dead End. I am quite pelased with both. X3

I'm also expecting Animated Deluxe Ratchet, Jazz, Elite Guard Bumblebee, Sentinel Prime and Soundwave in the mail sometime next week-ish. :D

[Lord_Zed]

Finally found Cyber Megs and Darkmount at Big W


I finally managed to find a Terradive (Target Hurstville) and also nabbed Tomahawk on my search (Target Bankstown).

Breacher, from the other night, seriously rocks, BTW.

There were no Terradrives on Thursday lucky duck, were there many there?

http://i1032.photobucket.com/albums/a409/Darkone666au/SEP28ACQ-1.jpg

http://i1032.photobucket.com/albums/a409/Darkone666au/SEP28ACQ-2.jpg

I'm actually surprised with Sandstorm, for a repaint he ceratinly does give off the feeling of G1 Sandstorm, albeit not a Triple Changer, and fit's in well with the other CHUGU Legends Class figures. :)

WFC Megatron and Straxus are absolutely awesome, really fun to Transform and muck around with I found, especially Straxus as I've become quite a fan of this Tyrant since reading a number of issues of the Marvel Comic. :D

[Doubledealer]

Yeah Darkmount is blardy awesome, Geologists can only dream of owning a pick that hardcore. :D

For me, WFC Soundwave, RotF Elita-1 *shudder* and the new Takara Prime & 'bee sets arrived today! The TFA sets display fantastically in the box as expected so that's where they'll stay. I'm interested to hear the 'Story' on the back of 'bee's box. If anyone who knows Japanese could translate it pour moi it would be very much appreciated!

TFA Jetpack Bumblebee's Story

[Eruntalon]

My second Fortress Maximus, in a little dirty but very tidy condition. This is to be combined with parts from my first Fort Max so I have a complete minty-ish Fort Max. I will then sell the Fort Max I am treating with H202:

[5FDP]

Received 2010 Unicron today. No pics cause I'm pretty sure you all know what the box looks like by now :p I will however be posting updated collection pics in the next couple of days as I have finished arranging both of my cabinets.

[1AZRAEL1]

All these people getting Unicron, where's mine dammit lol

[Bartrim]

Got myself a TakTom Animated Rodimus:D

[GoktimusPrime]

5FDP: does the box have a flap that opens up to reveal a window? Cos I don't think anyone's posted any pics of that if it exists.

Unfortunately not Goki. This is the one thing that I would have liked since I am displaying mine in the box. Also, the box is smaller than the Armada / Energon versions if anyone would care to know.

[Doubledealer]

G1 Turbomaster Scorch arrived this arvo. Very happy to finally have one in the collection as he's not easy to find at a decent price with his gun!

If I could complete the Turbomaster collection by finding a Thunderclash at Nexus that would be udderly sensational. :D

Just picked these up from fatbot.

I just love the Hard Hero statues. Would be great if I can find the Hard Hero Op Prime and Shockwave statues too :D

Very nice! My bro bought me Hard Hero Prime for my 18th birthday, he's great so I hope you find one. Only problem was that our new kitten at the time took a shining to his antennas and mid-chew knocked him off his perch! Prime being Prime though, he faired okay after the fall and the damage was pretty minor considering (one of the antennas snapped off). Luckily dad's a dab hand at the old DIY so he managed to fix him up so you can hardly tell! :D

[snaketales]

It never rains, it pours...
Orders from the past month all arrived on the same day, of course, ticking off the missus but sending me and the kids into raptures.

From Paulbot: classics Smokescreen and carded Longview (thanks!)

From Popculturepooka: movie Wreckage, energon Sharkticon, robot masters Starscream and Mirage, and energon Grimlock and swoop (thanks!)

From ebay: crystal henkei/classics Optimus and Rodimus (I thought I had missed out on this for good when Robot Kingdom sold out, but I saw this on ebay with an option for an offer, so I offered about RK's price... and it was accepted!:D)

and from target today: Breacher (mighty fiddly transformation for a scout - vehicle mode is great. and even better, target's toy sale was still on so it was 20% off the price! :D)

Calm down, calm down :) I will be posting pics, most likely tomorrow which will include all new photos of my collection. It will be my last major update for quite a while as I have semi-retired from collecting (my pre-ordered Predaking will be my next and last acquisition for this year).

It definitely does come packaged in bot mode from the photos / reviews I have seen. And yes, I won't be opening him either... he's sleeping :p

Cyclonus


Hard Hero full statues:
