FINALLY got an Alternators Mirage today at SupaNova! I've been wanting this toy since 2006, but it was never released in Australia. I did get BT Mirage, but it's only clear -- really wanted a normal coloured version. I could never find one at AU RRP ($45) until today (well, $5 above, but near enough :o :p).
It only took two years, but... target acquired!Quote:

Very interesting orientation choice in terms of the packaging, considering the squareness of the Micromaster Station boxes.
My next grail would be a full set of the black Reverse Evolution Sixturbo Turbo Team. (Which is annoying as I used to own three of them and sold them back when I was even more of a fool.)
Good luck. Not many people can boast about having black discharge without needing medical attention. ;)
my holy grail would be a botcon transmetal tigertron and transmetal ravage they got in japan.
i would also love to have a complete collection of beast wars incl the japanese ones
Nice one Sky Shadow, I know you've been chasing that one for a while.
I think there are a few black editions on ebay atm.
Although 2 are throwing out the old "99% complete" i think they're about 9 bucks each but 25 for postage. + one in a sealed bag for 25 + 25 for postage
TFC Hercules. Always mean to put away money for it, but then there's always some new useless stuff that I must have... sigh...
A major pain-in-the-butt loose end for me has been the last Gen1 UK annual (in 1991/92 - with the five Dinobots on the cover)... and after many searches and missed auctions, I finally won a copy.
I can't remember how much I bid, and I don't get emails from ebay anymore confirming bids (???), but it wouldn't have been much above what I won it for (I was desperate, but not that desperate to go more than 40 pounds). Unfortunately, UK Pounds can be rather deceptive, as the exchange rate to AU$ ends up making almost double the numeric value that I bid (in pounds). I may have won it for £38 (GBP), but that ended up being AU$66 plus postage (£7 - AU$13).
It was still at £8 when I placed the bid, hoping that since it hadn't attracted too much attention yet, it would stay cheap. But someone else really wanted it too... bidding £2 at a time, until finally giving up close to what I think I bid.
Now to track down the remaining seven issues of the original UK comic I'm missing... which usually sell for big bucks. :(
Can't believe you paid that much! :eek:Quote:

Sold them off for less than 10 bucks for all after begging a fellow collector to take em off my hands... That was like 2 years back.
That's how it is eh? Lol.
I kept them for so long in mint condition and just decided to clear off all my comics and TF related books when I went thru a sudden need to cull phase.
Maaaaaan.......
I am not sure how many people consider this as a holy grail
But I was hoping for a reissue of train raiden and that did not happened and most likely never will.
Always loved train robots as a kid.
Congrats on the Grails guys :D
Mine's still the same, Lucky Draw Galvatron. I might find a loose Hasbro Deluxe and just get the sucker gold plated.
