I wouldn't worry too much, Bay usually likes to make a campaign on lies before his big movies come out. So unless they've seen the movie then nothing is set in stone true with this movie

Went to buy The Vault from my local target but somehow roadbuster got purchased too. Man am I a sucker! :D

Here's a few of my hauls ranging from recent to not so recent. I find myself not wanting to open these guys without having set time aside to actually enjoy them, so they wait...

Well there is nothing in Rockingham or Mandurah so dont worry about looiking at those areas (Rockingham had nothing for weeks and I grabbed the only Warpath in Mandurah just recently for 1orion).

Nabbed Kup and Wheeljack from a local Kmart.

Kup is awesomesauce, and Wheeljack is so different from Tracks it is weird knowing they are basically the same toy...

Dear Anubis VP! :eek::eek::eek:
You'd have the entire Cybertron line MISB/MOSC by now wouldn't you? :D
A mighty impressive haul, again :p, sir - Well done! :cool:

I picked up an extra three here in Melbourne to help and pass onto members here who are having trouble finding them, for the same price as I got them from kmart (25), as long as you're willing to pay for shipping? :)

Thanks Hursty! :)

To be honest, I'm not sure how close I am to completing Cybertron/Galaxy Force MISB/MOSC. :confused:

I think I probably do have them all if I combined all the MISB/MOSC ones with the loose ones across both the Hasbro Cybertron and Takara Galaxy Force releases (but definitely not close for the entire line MISB/MOSC)

May try and pull them out of storage next chance I get and do a count. :o

That may be worth it seeming as though I think that the next annual member's personal collection count is not too far away - Goki could probably clarify that I think. :)
Certainly a massive effort you've made dude, those figures will just be happy that someone likes them enough to own them. :p

Yeah but I think they use the universal counting method - my numbers are over inflated since I own multiples of most of the stuff in my collection.

For example, I have the following:
1 x MOSC Generations WFC Prime
1 x Loose Generations WFC Prime
3 x MOSC United WFC Prime
1 x Loose United WFC Prime

By my count, that's 6 figures, but by the UCM, I think it's 1, maybe 2 figures at most (1 since it's the same mold, 2 since they're separate releases - Hasbro and TakTomy - can't remember how they count it) :(

That's true as that is what the UCM requires, but there is nothing stopping one from adding up all the 'plastic objects' one owns. ;)

As much as I think counting Transformers is daft enough without there being an 'official' way, according to this Counting Method:

Quote:

* ARTICLE 10: Multiples count. e.g.:
- 2 Seasprays = 2 Transformers.

---

So Vector Prime, you do have six Transformers there. Congratulations!

I suppose there is always going to be differing views on this, without derailing this thread :p, I like to keep 2 collection counts; The 'official' one and the 'I've got this much plastic toy' one. ;):D

LOL :p:D
Nah man, you've got a method to your madness I'm sure. ;):cool:

likewise hoarder.... i mean vector prime

Decided to pick up DoTM Deluxe Starscream because of all the good things you guys have been saying. Gotta admit, I wasn't expecting much but I love this guy!:D

Yes a fine method indeed, it's all good from one mad man to another;):p oooh scrapmetal!!

The counting of multiples is the one article in the Universal Counting Method that I find most objectionable and just don't like it. As Vector Prime says, it kinda "artificially inflates" one's collection count. But anyway, the majority of people voted for multiples to count... so they count. That's democracy for you. I used to keep two collection counts - one was the Substitution Rationale method, similar to the UCM but multiples and variants don't count. I can't be bothered keeping track of my collection count under two different counting methods anymore, so I just use the UCM.

Some of my May stuff, pretty happy to be able to get some more TF love:

http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r...rs/Tfn-143.jpg
So happy to chance upon them at Kmart. Thought I was gonna have to buy them online.

http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r...vault_book.jpg
Found this at Target for $29, love it.

http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r...rs/Tfn-144.jpg
My first DOTM figure thanks to the TRU sale. Took quite a few button presses and quality paint checks before I was able to find a good one. Also this was one of the rare ones that the mouth actually moves quite a bit.

Just got the car services and on the drive home I blacked out or something because some how I ended up in the checkout at target with Transformers Vault, DOTM voyager ironhide, megaton and optimus

this is simply something i never understood the argument of to begin with and why i voted multiples count... as we are counting a collection not the number of characters or moulds and it doesnt really artificially inflate you numbers... i like to have multiples of my g1 i have three blitzwings... there are three toys, 3, not 1.....

this is the reason i do not even count my collection it seems way to complicated and if you ask me how many i have i wil say lots. hehe or maybe lots and lots.....


anyways i gots me a DOTM HA Thunderhead.....:p

G1-derful. Love these little guys! :D

Thanks to kristoferrer for bringing and selling me his doubles of Generations Thundercracker and Wheeljack, freakin local Kmarts are useless, no more generations figures whatsoever.:mad::mad: Im still after an extra Warpath, sigh. Maybe after this DOTM movie they'll show up in heaps... then they'll be shelf warming:p

My most recent arrivals:

Yesssss finally got my Shockwave!:D Now I've got all the DOTM Mech Tech Decepticons released so far except Lazerbeak hmmm. Thanks to Tets for the WFC Prime!

My acquisitions today are courtesy of BlackConvoy:

RiD, Predacon - Megatron :D
RiD, Predacon - Galvatron :cool:

A huge thanks to BlackConvoy for both of these awesome figures that are not only the record holders for the most official alternate modes but are also the last true Predacons of the original Beast era figures. ;):)
(If there is enough interest, I'll take some pics of the 8 other modes these guys share! :D:cool:)

Well, at the end of the day, the majority of voters agreed with you ... so multiples count. And so I count them too, irrespective of my personal opinions. :)

Anyway, I picked up Commander Class Sentinel Prime from Target today, and remembered to ask for a Collector's Card. The store clerk had no idea what I was talking about and had to refer to the catalogue - then call the manager, who also had no idea -- despite the fact that near the entrance of the store is a MASSIVE display of DotM toys advertising the Collectors Card campaign! So I had to wait ages for a staff member from toys to come down and give me my card. (-_-) I got a free plastic shopping bag for my troubles though. :o

Collectors card ehhh. I might have to check this out.

Hursticon, great toys, I never managed to score the RID Galvy, had a chance one day when he was still on the shelves but I thing I was too poor at the time :(

Cheers Jetfire, :)

That's unfortunate dude, but I have to agree with you in that after having mucked around with the pair this afternoon and getting Megatron into each of his modes, this mold really is quite cool. :D:cool:
I'm unfortunately not that big of a fan of the RiD and Unicron Trilogy eras, but I do like to make exceptions for figures/molds that earn my respect and hence; RiD Megs & Galvy join the ranks of Cybertron Primus, Energon Omega Supreme, Armada Tidalwave and Unicron, but also Animated Waspinator and Blackarachnia. :p:)
(Oh yeah, can't forget the Minicons either! :D)
