Pics to come

My Dec pick-ups are:

Blue Bacchus MIB - with unapplied sticker sheet - planning to send scans to reprolabels to see if they can make them so I can have some spare. Box was pretty beat up but the toy itself was immaculate
2x Arcee Delicate Warriors
Japanese Galaxy Shuttle to go with my italian galaxy shuttle
Countdown so I can display one of the galaxy shuttles as launching
Go-Shooter - just need a minerva/minelba now!
Games of Deception Botcon - just need a Classics TRU Darkwind now!
2nd set of Boss Coffee PVCs - my contact sent me all his spares so I have a few extras.
Some random G1s to fill in gaps, Punch, Sandstorm, Springer, Broadside etc.

Pics will come as I am currently overseas and work this month was pretty busy. Although they will come next week in Jan.

Regards
Robert

Wow, very impressive acquisitions there. You must be the second or third member here to have obtained a Blue Bacchus this month. There must be something going on that I'm not aware of. :D (I need a Blue Bacchus BTW....)

Did you manage to get the painted-head Starscream? Just curious to see if the unpainted one is still circulating.

I think I might be the first to see them at a store that wasn't a Toys R Us. The store (Toy Kingdom) had three Starscreams and all had painted heads.

Thanks man! I never thought I would get them, but never did try to gun for them in the first place because I just thought it would be too impossible to find a set in a condition that I'm happy with. Seriously, all the sets I've come across in the past 10 years of collecting have been in dismal and disappointing condition, box-wise. This was a really unexpected find for me, and I'm very happy about it! :D

My pics of the main items I bought. The photo of the Boss Coffee transformers are spare.

I got the Blue Bacchus off a guy in Sydney who was selling a lot of his colection. I picked up a Grand Max, Jap Fort Max and will be picking up a Light Foot, Buster and Hydra off him as well.
