Classics Starscream
Walmart exclusive Fracture
Generations Optimus Prime
Challenge at Cyberton set (some thoughts: Rodimus' flames on his chest need a tad more contrast, and I'm not thrilled with his exhaust flame now being a solid colour instead of clear. Cyclonus is great and Galvatron is... Galvatron)

I'm not very familiar with buying figures on web-stores (although I do shopping on eBay and here), what's buying from RobotKingdom like? How do you pay for it? How long does it take for the item to arrive? Was it cheap/expensive? I know I can go look on the site myself but I'd prefer a customer opinion on this matter :)

G1 Apeface thanks to klystron

Damn you loophole! I was coming in to post an interest in that Apeface in the sales thread but was an hour too late.

It really is a great figure.

I so far have received just the one package from RK. But shall be receiving more, I find that their prices can be at times way cheaper than other stores and their postage is quite reasonable too. The package i received was well packed, very sturdy and safe. It is very easy to order and they ship fast. They accept pay-pal and credit card as far as i am aware. From my experience so far i would recommend them. :D

Challenge at Cybertron Set arrived from RK today- missing Galvatron's missile. :/ Of course I only noticed after pulling the inset tray out. I've emailed them with pictures.

I love the box bio though! They build up Cyclonus and Galvatron as terrifying warriors, and then the best thing they can say about Rodimus is that "he's brave". COURAGE!

Also arrived today: Henkei Rodimus, ROTF Sparkcrusher and (ahem, lunchtime) TFA Black Optimus, which looks amazing. I might get a boxed version later and keep the loose one for play. ;)

Yesterday was SE Overkill from Paulbot. Thanks!

Nice! I wish we had a 'local japan-anime import' store in brisbane that stocked something other than naruto.

I don't normally post in this thread, but these acquisitions were too cool not to share:

Is a 'happy birthday' in order?

It is awesome - a surprisingly complex yet intuitive transformation for a deluxe toy that looks quite simple, but everything locks into place neatly in vehicle mode. I just noticed that the copyright stamp says 2008 - a written reminder of how long the 'new' animated toys have been delayed.

It was on Saturday and it was happy, thanks. :) This is my second Optimus Prime birthday cake - my wife has said she's going to keep making me an Optimus cake every year until she gets a new cake tin. (Unless I want a snowman cake.)

Mmmmmm yummy looking cake. Happy belated Bday then :D
