I just remembered that I also got Wolverine today. I total rip off at $39.99 at TRU... impulse buy. (-_-) Photo updated accordingly.

It's okay if you bought him lipstick. He does have a need for them after all.Quote:

Optimus - at the moment - im a bit worried about purchasing from a new line. Once i start it's hard to stop until i've completed everything (really hurts the pocket) - Classics/henkei and MP for now...........

...... and parts for kit bashing (not that i'm any good), and things to complete some items Lige started for me...
I picked up Universe Inferno... wasn't really sure about it but at $25 I let the hype sweep me up. For a floppy mess he poses alright with my small classics army.
Encore cassettes from Tetsuwan.
I've played with 4 Infernos, and 2 have been very floppy (loose joints), but the other two were fine... bizarre.Quote:

Yup, I also did saw four (or maybe five) different hoodies at Jayjay's Melbournce Central last weekend. I said maybe five coz I saw that one with the decepticon logo but there might be some autobot logo ones hidden at the back.
Mine and blackies were too. That makes it 2/2 for me. I'm hoping I can just tighten a screw somewhere or somethingQuote:

Cybertron Shortround (surprisingly large) & Energon Sharkticon (stubby arms and back-heavy but otherwise cool) courtesy of llamatron's recent sale.
Doubledealer: on the bright side, in that condition the toy's probably legit and not a knock off! :) See your local hobby store and see if they have a paint similar to gold chrome that you can use to restore your Rumble. You won't find actual chrome but you may find similar. You can get actual chrome paints, but they're expensive (because people use them to spray-paint cars & machinery, not toys or miniatures). Like for silver chrome I would use something like Mithral Silver. Not sure what the closest approximation of gold chrome would be though. I'm guessing maybe Lord_Zed might know?
The cassettes are from Microman not Diaclone. :) And I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that toy appears to be a fake. :( According to the Transformers Variations site it's from a KO Microman line called "Transistor Robots."Quote:

Henkei Prime
Henkei Prowl
Henkei Octane
Henkei Galvatron
Henkei Ramjet
MP Thundercracker
This was the order that set me on my path to triple up on Henkei. I dunno, combination of the low cost I got each at (I paid $220 shipped for all that!) it made me think it couldn't hurt to triple up on all Henkei molds. Especially given once the movie hits, my O/S buying is going to dry up significantly.

Superlink goodness at some crazy prices.
SD-20 General Galvatron was one of my grails for a long time and I am so glad to finally have him despite missing out on him at cheaper prices. The SD-08 Shadowhawks came to about $11 each! The Chrom Horn Forest at $30! I couldn't be happier! Oh and the colours on Scorponok are just purely superior. Too bad I don't have a spare so I can keep this one boxed. :(
This was my first transaction from the Netherlands/Europe and I have to say it was completely hassle free - contrary to my usual perception of buying from Europe (English issues, shipping costs etc.) It cost 32 euro to ship all that (said on the box even though seller charged me 34) so the shipping cost is very good.
And all those tech spec cards make me giddy :o
ahh megazarak, ive been wanting one for a while. They are pretty expensive though. Very lucky :)
It's not a fake toy, it's a real toy. And to me it doesn't matter if was once Diaclone, Microman, Machine Man or Barbie. He's now a proud member of the Decepticon army named Buzzbeak. :)Quote:

Picked up another Universe Voyager Class Inferno. Also picked up Universe Voyagers Overload and Leo Prime.
Got all 3 for $25 each at Target. :D
He's definitely legit - he has a red waist, metal toes, solid build quality etc.Quote:

Haha, and what a nice looking Shockwave you have too. Looks in tip top condition from that photo! Is he pretty tall? I've always wanted to own him too, such a classic Transformer...Quote:

At that price I'm very tempted to pick up a second and work out some proper colours for him...
