Ratchet is one of the more difficult ones to get. I did see an MISB Henkei Ratchet in an obscure shop in Japan for 3000yen though, which I thought was cheap.

That's really cheap! Did you get it?

I'm in the opposite situation- I have henkei ratchet- but need Ironhide. He is pricey on ebay- including shipping is like $70-80 which is really expensive. I've been patient and checking ebay constantly but even the auctions end up within that price range. I'm tempted to pull the trigger since I need him to finish off the henkei bots. I can appreciate since at least there are a few ironhides available compared to Ratchet where there are little to no listings at all.

hmmm... that's an odd situation. I'm not understanding why Ironhide is rare since there were really plenty around when it was released and many were even shelf warming. Since I "completed" my Henkeis, I no longer look out and don't know what the prices are. For me, the hardest pieces to get were Henkei versions of Ratchet, Red Alert, Cyclonus and Smokescreen.

Computron is the only one I need now too - Do you have the Micromasters combiners? what about Raiden or Landcross? ;)

@Heroic - You continue to set the bar in astounding finds and purchases, well done mate and :eek::eek::eek: on that Diaclone Sunstreaker! :cool:

I only started collecting at the beginning of 2010- I got most of Henkei at close to retail prices from RK- that was based on the stock they had available at the time. Henkei Ratchet was available for a while which I got 1 for about 30ish. But there was no ironhide. At the time I did not value henkei ironhide as I do now...

As for rarity of henkei figs in general- I think they all shot up in value towards latter half of last year as:
-regular retailers dried up in stock,
-the demand increased as generations/united was announced/released
-Prevalence of 3rd party releases last year compared to previous.

Now if you found one whilst hunting in hk... id be interested :D

I received an ebay lot today, containing energon scorponok and rodimus, legends cybertron megatron and soundwave, three minicons, a micromaster and what I have found out to be cybertron/energon ratchet (the x-brawn repaint). To me it's bot mode is uuugleeeeeeeeee... but my eight year old liked it.

Also weakened and bought rotf leader starscream from big w. It was either that or a bottle of spirits and I think screamer will last longer.

I have finally got the chance to put up my stuff from the Parra Fair:

Most from fellow board members:

Thanks to Vector Prime :

Generations Thunderwing
HFTD Fallen (with a new staff!) - I'm glad I have this version, it feels more like a G2 style Decepticon, I'm feeling some Leige Maximo vibes here
Henkei Smokescreen - my 2nd Henkei (after Red Alert). Now I see all the fuss this one has over the Universe version. I love the paint job and nice chrome.

Thanks to funkyaw:

Alternator Camshaft - simple colour scheme, would look good on a Deluxe sized figure
Alternator Rollbar - I love this mould!

Thanks to Sky Shadow via Liegeprime:

Universe Stormcloud
Micromaster Skystalker - I just realised he's a Porsche 959, one of my favourite cars :cool:

And from the fair itself:

Euro Snare
A red Lambo Gobot :confused:
Energon Devastator :D Now if only a 3rd Party will create some add-on parts for proper hands and feet

Hehe, isn't it fun trying to play catch up after missing the boat the first time around! :p I was rearranging my Classics shelves the other week, marveling at how wonderful they all look together now that there's a decent amount of them. "Crud, why didn't I buy Smokescreen." I think. "Damn, missing Streak & Ratchet too!!"

My wallet didn't even have time to steady itself before the almighty three hit b*tch slap of the millennium clean knocked it out of the ballpark as all missing toys were bought in one quick ebay session. It managed to block one attack though, that being Henkei Grimlock. Eh, you can wait, Grimlock. Go eat a sandwich with your toes ya weirdo." (Grimlock is the only Classics toys I'm not fond of it you can't tell :p).

Out of interest, does anyone else not include the Ultra Class toys in their Classics collection? I prefer to pretend they don't exist...

I'm with you on Grimlock. Totally no interest in this toy. Lousy design too. Grimlocks are still floating around HK shelf warming for HK$100-120 per piece.

*Gasp!* You can't not have the horrible awesomeness of the Classics Ultras in your collection! all or nothing I say!
I am certainly feeling people's pain when it comes to trying to find Classics/Henkei Ratchet. he seems to be rarer than black diamonds.

I missed out on one last week and I was almost in tears i was that frustrated over losing one again. It's horrible.

Erm nooo;) In my world the Ultras actually have Micromaster G1 counterparts so they get included. In liegeverse there's a "conspiracy theory" that Hasbro are issuing micromasters in the classics line as larger (Ultras) figure's just to upset the balance sizing wise - Size issue has always been a constant (it's tradition) in TFs and therefore should exist in this modern interpretation of G1 toys:D:p;), thus in my collection though the backstory Ive come up with is, is that energon isn't scarce anymore that the micros who have originally been downgraded - size wise- have opted back to re adopt their former large energy guzzling forms...

e.g - Hasbro white Powerglide is Hothouse in liegeverse, as well as that green repaint of Cyb Scattorshot is Flak in liegeverse, Big daddy of course is big Daddy in full size car now not a micro:D

I'm sorry Tallest, I just can't bring myself to hand money over for those over sized embarrassments. :p Sure, there's no Silverbolt, Onslaught, Powerglide (not for long, thank you Cyberverse) etc. in my collection but when they're that disappointing, I really don't mind.

re: Ratchet, I'll keep my ears & eyes open for one and let you know if I find anything. I can't remember how many there were when I bought mine but there certainly weren't many...Might also be worth posting on the NZ forums as I know they received Universe Ratchet.

And wow liege, that's quite an interesting justification of the Ultra's! How many are there in total in the Classics line? Are there more than 3 Ultra molds?

well, there's a couple of Ultra's Ive considered in the fold of Classics and 1 deluxe which are all micromasters counterparts for G1 I think I posted pics in that thread of G1 Vs Classics that Gok started. It has pics of the new figures with their micro counterparts, just cant find the link. But so far theres about 6-7 figures Ultras and 1 deluxe

Oh, I don't know about that - A little bit of 3rd Party sprinkled on some of these figures can work wonders... ;)

Is that in the Liegeverse or an estimate as to what has been released dude? :confused:


My acquisitions for today are courtesy of eBay AU and Tropisetron:

I bought the RTS Cyclonus and Rodimus 2 pack and the Wave 1 RTS deluxes from a US eBay seller a few weeks ago.

The day after I ordered them the 2 pack appeared at Target. They arrived this morning, and a few hours later Jazz and Tracks appear at Toyworld.

Oh the joy! A part of my childhood came back to me today - received TFC Hound in the mail.

Hound was my first TF toy back when I was a kid, so this holds a special place in my heart (even though it's the re-issue and not the real deal G1 version).

One thing that has annoyed me is that the seller I bought it off listed the item as being 'brand new, never been opened', yet the tape at the top had been cut. :mad:

Everything else is still intact and as described, but it's no longer MISB and is 'only' MIB.

I've messaged him and his reply was: "thats how i received the item myself. i have never opened it myself so did not notice if the tape had been cut. to me it never made a difference so i never noticed"

I'm trying to work something out with him at the moment, but I'm somewhat disappointed - even contemplating returning it if he gives me a full refund.

I purchased a MISB and received a MIB - Hound was meant to stay sealed for all of his eternity in his plastic and cardboard prison. :(

This is dodgy. There's a HUGE difference between misb and mib...how can you sell something as misb without ever checking it to see if it's misb? Hopefully you can work something out with the seller.

Congrats on getting Hound man. Sucks about the MISB/MIB thing. A piece of tape matters less and less to me now, but he should give you some form of partial refund or refund, just out of principle!

Will try best for tomorrow. Damn, I can't remember where I saw the Superion appendage kits... was only about HK$500.

I'm having a hard time finding Scourges too... prices around HK$139-168. Varies. Are you in HK already?

This is dodgy. There's a HUGE difference between misb and mib...how can you sell something as misb without ever checking it to see if it's misb? Hopefully you can work something out with the seller.


Congrats on getting Hound man. Sucks about the MISB/MIB thing. A piece of tape matters less and less to me now, but he should give you some form of partial refund or refund, just out of principle!

Yeah the guy claims not to be a 'hardcore collector' so doesn't even know the difference between MISB and MIB apparently ~ he wasn't aware of what the significance of a piece of sticky tape means.

Nonetheless, he's offered to refund me the postage costs, which I have declined since it's obvious that he may not actually be a collector and has no idea (by offering a partial refund is good enough in my books, so I'll let it slide).

Happy to get Hound anyway, so the price doesn't matter to me all that much at the end of the day seeing as the item is complete and bar the cut sticky tape, is still as minty fresh as you can get.

I bought the RTS Cyclonus and Rodimus 2 pack and the Wave 1 RTS deluxes from a US eBay seller a few weeks ago.

The day after I ordered them the 2 pack appeared at Target. They arrived this morning, and a few hours later Jazz and Tracks appear at Toyworld.

It's funny how these things work out! :o

Did it work out cheaper?

Epic haul and a great day dude! Red Alert was a truely good find. I had a tough time finding him in Oct/Nov last year. I also hope you like device label Blaster, which I recommended. Get the blue device label Soundwave from CTMA basement and you will have the 2 "Classic" communicators!

My haul for the day (truely, the day of toy hunting was more exciting than the haul) :D

Man, so many people want Ratchet... As the situation appears, one would have to shell out the cash for a shot at Ratchet...:cool:

Haha, I've seen you've been bitten by the Heroic Decepticon-bug, huh Ultra Magnus? :p:D
That is one incredible haul man, glad to see you've picked up the Ark books as well as the Superion Upgrade Kit - Both are great additions! ;)
I also 100% agree with Heroic in that DL Blaster and ML Soundwave are the best fits for Classicsverse versions of those characters, as that is exactly what I've done with both figures too. :D:cool:


Picked up #1 and #2 of Transformers Infestation.

How do you rate this line Goki? - Worth picking up you reckon?

I only have the 2 TF Infestation issues, but they're surprisingly better written than what I was expecting. I thought it would be a mindless Zombie-fest with little substance to the story which would be out-of-continuity, but it's actually a fairly decent fantasy tale and it's in-canon! :o

I suspect IDW will release the entire Infestation series in a TPB which I'm seriously considering picking up when it comes out.

Scourges are pretty much sold out here in HK now. I have seen a few a week or so ago. There may be some at Sogo or Toys R Us?
Alternatively, wait for United and buy a stack of them, yes they will cost more, but they will make your sweep army complete!

Yup, they are sold out! I can confirm that TRU and Sogo at causeway bay has none.
