I've gotta admit Kyle, that little Rice-Burner of yours looks pretty Kick-Arse dude! :D
The number plates really help to set it off and I guarantee you'll grab some peoples attention with them. ;)


Haha, my second acquisition for the day and the month? :p

...yeah, I'm finding that particular wave of PCC Commanders particularly hard to find. I found them all once like ages ago and I picked up Icepick and Leadfoot - but I skipped Sledge. But ever since then I don't think I've ever seen them again (certainly not Sledge). Weird.

The whole wave was in the Coles toy section I wondered past on a whim.

Everywhere else you can name has only wave 1 of the 2 packs. So annoying.

I really dig these guys, especially since the 80's originals are near impossible to find :rolleyes:, as they bring a new dimension to my Micromaster forces :D:D:D, but Ooh! do I want a Sixwing so bad! - he looks Freakin' Awesome!!!
The MP Starscream Coronation Set I'm going to leave in it's package until I can 1. display my MP Starscream behind glass, and 2. See if my Aunt is able to produce a better cape for me out of some better material. ;):)

Cheers guys,
It came down to these or the WST Dinobots... I went with the Micromasters. :D
The hard thing is going to be tracking down and acquiring both Sixwing and Sixliner. :o
I don't think I'll go for the alternate paint scheme versions that these guys came in though, I personally am not a fan of the Devastator repaint of Sixbuilder, myself.

It is nice to splurge on one's self once in a while though. ;):)

Last of the birthday vouchers/cash today:

another legends Long Haul (during the three hours I had with him at the pub I developed a liking for him.... or maybe it was the beer?)
a TFA voyager Starscream at the back of the toy shelves in Midland Target. Even better it scanned up at $16!!!

And in the mail from ebay a TFA cybertron ratchet, who has promptly stolen Lockdown's engine

BTW, energon Omega Supreme is HOOOGE

Nice score dude. Something about these guys you just
have to (http://heroicdecepticon.blogspot.com/2010/04/mib-micromaster-combiner-army.html)
get at one go. (http://inlinethumb45.webshots.com/44588/2951433710100811158S500x500Q85.jpg)

BTW, I like Sixtrain and Sixliner, but the body shell for the rest, which are generically the same, pisses me off because the most MMs don't really sit well in them, especially the sixth guy.

***

My latest acquisition - Hard Hero Unicron (man, I been so wanting this guy since 2002/3 when it was released but just can't afford it back then). Sits unbelievably nice next to the other HH busts fatbot sold me (oh, dude, you might be happy to know that my wife went and wrapped all the HH boxes in protective clean plastic wrap :p)

This is is MISB too. Box is almost the size of Fort Max, quite unbelievable really.

Cheers Heroic! :D

Indeed, there certainly is something about getting these guys all in one go. ;):)
I'd have to say that Sixtrain is definitely my favourite, due to my family's affiliation with trains but also, as you point out, the others have quite noticeable gaps in the chest area and heaven forbid they should ever need to hold their arms outright. ;):p

:eek: You've got a MIB G1 Sixwing!, The Reissue is hard enough to find but an original!?! :eek:
(You and your Wife's skills in seeking out and acquiring is truly aspirational! :))


Looking at your pics, it seems that both you and your wife are quite settled in your new abode now, it's lovely to see all those beautiful boxes on display too!:D
That Hard Hero Unicron's box though is staggeringly big!, much larger than I would've thought it was - so I am assuming that the actual statue must be quite sizeable? :eek:

I must say too dude that I love your Classics/Henkei shelf as there are a couple of pieces there that I'm quite envious of :D, namely: Thundercracker, Warbot and RC. :eek:

liegeprime
4th November 2010, 10:04 AM
Indeed finding the original Sixwing is hard to do, which is why I settled for the reissue - I actually like the reissue's color scheme better - more sinister hehehe

Nice pad HD! Lovin the display! I wish I wasn't in a rush before in buying/finding shelves - I should've gone for white ones instead of the beech color - White makes the figures stand out more. AH well.:p

I highly agree with you there Liege, I too prefer the Reissue colour scheme as it is definitely more Decepticon-y. :p:D
(Still, having the originals is still insane in my books! :D)


Today's acquisitions are the 2nd part of a large RobotKingdom order that is actually a Joint Acquisition between myself and 1AZRAEL1 :D:D:D:


http://i1032.photobucket.com/albums/a409/Darkone666au/NOV04ACQ-1.jpg

The 1st part arrived on Tuesday, whereas these poor guys were stuck in customs for an additional 2 days - But still swift and efficient service from RobotKingdom!
(Shameless Plug :p)

No longer will He or I have to be constantly disappointed when we go out to our local Brick & Mortars, in the vain search for the seeming rare Generations Red Alert, Dirge or Blurr! :eek:
The stupid thing? we've actually made money by buying over seas! :p:D
(We'll elaborate more on the 21st ;))

4th November 2010, 12:53 PM

Can't wait to have my own Blurr, such a cool figure IMO. Love the whole sniper rifle mode for the gun, just wish his head could tilt back more. But I think I can fix that :D

They're $8 each and there is only 2 types available, Devastator & The Seekers, the only problem though is that you have to cut the box one way or another as the box is one solid piece! :mad:

I still have a passing interest and buy new TFs every once in awhile if I see something I like at the shops, but gone are the days of trying to track stuff down and hunting from store to store for something in particular.


it's just my interest in TFs come and go, I still buy them every once in awhile but I'm not really an active collector/fan at the moment...

It's just from a local toy shop. Bar the really rare stuff, there isn't much that isn't available at the hundreds of toy shops here. It's just that they are all in Kowloon and I have to change trains to get there which is slightly inconvenient.

I don't mind telling you the prices of how much I paid for all 3 sets.
D304 an D305 individual boxes = HKD$4000
D306 (first set, C9 box, no flap crease, complete paperworks) = HKD$3600
D306 (second set, C8.5 box, toys never transformed, but no paperworks) = HKD$3800


No Bingo!

His dislike for homo sapiens began shortly after seeing the high price of bananas at his local Coles, a mistake the store manager would live to regret.

In the mail yesterday...

Issue 35 of the Club Magazine, and the Autobot USB stick (with TF2 movie).

Plus, Marvel TFs Carnage - from Wave 3, which I've been trying to obtain since mid last year. A very nice, and large, figure.
(below - size comparison with Generations Red Alert, Alternator Ravage, Human Alliance Jazz, and Alternity Magnus)

http://www.toycollectors.com.au/1011b.jpg
(anyone who says MTFs should be priced as Deluxes, should just see how much bigger they are to a Deluxe first)

And another hard-to-find loose end from even further back (2003), is the White chase (Berserker) version of Reissue Sixwing.
(shown between the Hasbro Aerialbot Universe version, the 'regular' Decepticon/Destron reissue version, and the original Gen1 Autobot/Cybertron version)

Congrats man on both acquisitions, Carnage is an awesome character, had I of known that they did a Marvel TF of him I might of tried to pick one up as I liked the Venom figure but couldn't bring myself to buy one Marvel figure if there was only one I liked, this may change now. ;):)

Yes you can HD, trick is slanting the legs. As long as the knee joints are good and tight it will work and there is no need to prop his back - of course it helps if you have an even flat surface to stand him on heheh, no carpets.

You really wouldn't have to give that much, Mr. Hursticon - affordable ones turn up every so often. (Heck, there's even a slightly yellowed, but MIB with unused stickers original Sixwing on eBay at the moment for $120 shipped: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Japanese-Transformers-TF-02-Original-G1-Sixwing-UNUSED-/400141178390?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5d2a45d616) A bit of peroxide and it would be a mint set of toys.

I highly agree with you there Liege, I too prefer the Reissue colour scheme as it is definitely more Decepticon-y. :p:D

Today's acquisitions are the 2nd part of a large RobotKingdom order that is actually a Joint Acquisition between myself and 1AZRAEL1 :D:D:D:

There are still G1 TFs here, but there's no more arbitrage like in the past. The prices are very close to and in some cases, more than eBay prices. So you can find them, in face more so than SG, but they won't be 'cheap' anymore.

I nabbed the second Darkwings set 1 day after a toy shop owner came back with Japan with lots of goodies. Chances are it'd be gone under a week if I didn't get it.

hahaha... that would be nice, a TF museum.

Actually, they were of the 'permanent display' variaety. Had to convince owners to dig through layers of toys to the display cabinet (just bearing in mind how small and compact and dense a HK toy shop would be) and because they are on display and obviously not priced, we have to there and then negotiated a price with me trying to come up with something so that the owner won't feel I'm trying to have him/her on and buy something he/she would otherwise be able to sell at a higher price... and half way through negotiating they would discover from my Cantonese that I am not native to HK and ask whether I am a 'dealer' from Singapore who will bring it back to Singapore to sell at twice the price (cos that is what people ordinarily do)... and... and... you get the idea.

Wow Insane. How do you do it? :eek:
And I am way jealous of those prices- at least half if not a third of ebay prices.

If you don't mind me asking, how is the henkei situation? Are there alot available in multiple stores or scarce now?

I is lucky, since Gentei Dirge was a freebie! And yeah IMO the Generations Dirge is the best of the three - uses the best mould and better colours than the Gentei one (which is actually my least favourite of the three, due to the colours). All are great though (:

i have not broken them out of the box yet but looking at it i like this version of cyclonus, the colour of it seems to suit it a bit more and nightstick looks more like nightstick from g1 days, my galvatron appears to be ok... the face generally looks small and bland but i t isnt a bad job

Yeah, no golden stickers on the front. The figure is a little dirty, and a bit off-white (plus 2 items missing), but Victory Leo is almost mint... even has the missiles on the tree.

Yep, the more expensive and fancy figures must have packaging to make it a 'complete package' for me to want to spend that much on them... but I was a bit iffy with these two though, as I wasn't too keen to buy them incomplete. But for $400 for the pair, I took the chance, and had to hope I find replacement parts, and not find anything significantly wrong with the toy itself for that price.

$400 for these 2 figures in today's market is a steal. Not too worried about the SS gun, but the blade is something that would really make the figure stand out. :D

It's not bad for Smokscreen, roughly AU$40. For his final Henkei, I bet he was willing to pay it :p And Broad Blast is cheaper than I have seen it.

I think it's a tad high, but Smokescreen is one of the rarer ones to find. For some reason the Henkeis toward the end of the line is more difficult to find than the earlier ones. Eg, I see quite a few Prowls, Sunstreakers, Sideswipes, Streaks around, but hardly the later ones esp Red Alert, Ratchet, Smokescreen, Cyclonus, etc.

It's the final one bar stuff that I don't consider G1 like Henkei Hot Shot, Cheetor, Dinobot(?), which I am of half a mind whether to get. These are all quite cheap at HKD$120-150 though.

This is the cheapest Broadblast I have seen. The most common price range is between HKD$490-580. I was pretty surprised the guy was only asking HKD$399, which he discounted to $360 after some persuasion from me. heh.

The Cheetor Universe/Henkei mold is pretty crap so don't get it unless you only want it for the character. IMO the original 15 year old Cheetor mold is a lot better even if it looks like a generic big cat than a Cheetah.

Cheetor's are definitely aplenty every where, but when I was in HK, I had a hard time finding a cheap Hot Shot. Only found a couple, both over HKD $200. Grabbed one at $230 (A$32) from In's Point Shop #221, which I was quite fond of.

That being said, as the G1 fan I perceive you to be, these three are easy passes, so congrats on your quasi-completion. There will similarly be a few skippable figs in United, such as G2 Prime & Lugnut.

Without a doubt, this is my most satisfying Transformers haul ever. :D Here we've got a MIB Takara Sixshot in beautiful condition, pretty much brand new. I have to say, this guy is easily one of the most amazing G1 Transformers I've had the pleasure of owning. Fun doesn't even do him justice, he's just an absolute marvel of design and engineering.

http://i661.photobucket.com/albums/uu332/Doubledealer_83/Transformers/G1/Sixshot.jpg

Next up is my holy grail of all holy grails, MIB G1 Turbomaster Thunder Clash. :D
I've been slowly collecting the Turbomasters over the last few years and purposely saved Thunder Clash for the last for one very good reason...He absolutely kills the other Turbomasters in every single way. His colours are more wild and vibrant, his gimmicks are equally over the top and entertaining and come on, just look at that box. :cool:

http://i661.photobucket.com/albums/uu332/Doubledealer_83/Transformers/G1/thunderclash.jpg

Last but certainly not least is Takara Books Re-Issue Sound Blaster. If there's one toy I'd love to own the original of, it's gotta be this guy. His original Takara packaging is simply awesome and has some of the coolest box art going. Shame then that the original goes for ridiculous sums of money well above what I'm willing to pay. :p And that's where I'm left today, missing the original boxart but with the same outstanding toy that imo takes the coolness of Soundwave to the next level. In the second pic you can see the extra detailing on Sound Blasters tape deck, as well as the mini 'Fortress Maximus' logo on the accompanying Ravage (Buzzsaw has this marking too). One thing if you do manage to track down one of these (and I highly recommend you do!), the sticker placement guide is allsorts of dodgey. And I dunno if the original said to do this but it reckons you put those black and red stickers I've put on the front of the tape player at the back of the guns...Snow way bro, I'm putting them at the front where they belong! :mad:

Thanks mate, twas a good way to end the week. And I know what you mean about Sixshot, he's certainly a curious one! I was a bit worried when I picked him up from the post office as the box was ridiculously light, so much so that I thought I had been sent the box and that was it. Once you get him out-of-box though, he's (as you suggest) surprisingly huge and very solid. You definitely get your moneys worth!

Glad you appreciate the glory that is Sound Blaster, he's definitely an intimidating sight when displayed amongst his comparatively friendly looking Decepticon comrades. :D If anyone hasn't seen the boxart for the original Takara realease here it is, although I warn you, a bib is required :p

Today I present the aftermath of another restoration job. I caught this here Scourge hiding in a hot dog factory. Taken by surprise the silly sausage fell into the mustard tank and, as a result, caught a bad case of 'Look ma, I've got jaundice!'. It's okay though, I brushed him up, gave him some new 'cals so all's well in the world again. Move along now Scourge, but don't hit on Red Alert's missus!

Yep it's from Jizaitoys thanks to Sky Shadow. I think it's great, especially as it's a hand crafted, sculpted and cast resin kit. It's a bit fragile in some areas like the feet but it has a nice heft to it being solid resin. I'm contemplating taking it apart and repainting as Powerglide but the Bad Boy scheme is nice. Hmmm decisions.....

No, it's actually Jizaitoys's own work, and he seemed to have moulded it in Bad Boy colours rather than painting it. Here it is on his site:
