October Overindulgence

Went out on a toyhunt today, hoping to find Masterpiece Prime. No luck on that front, but found some stuff at Frasers Cycles. Three of the same mould, they were quite pricy at $100 each but I managed to talk them down to $250 for all three.

^^^^What!!!!! Is this real life??

I wonder if they had more.

Nicely done dirge! Nice find, and very goodluck on your part!

Wonder how they came to have all three, and what they must have paid for them to sell them off at that low price? :eek:

That is simply incredible Dirge, I can only imagine how you must have felt at the time of purchasing them! Bargain of a lifetime right there, no doubt about it. :)

Dude, I know you love Soundwave (btw bidoofdude, that's not Classics Soundwave, that looks to be the Encore reissue -- the Hasbro reissue in the Classics style box is a repaint of the Soundblaster mould) -- but 3 Maximi for $250... dirge just won every acquisition thread past, present and future!

Hehe sounds like you had a time machine to go to 1987 , 1988 and 2000 all in one day!

All serious, are they recent acquisitions? any way, congrats, they look amazing

Okay I have to confess... I did not pick up 3 Maximi for $250 at retail. I already own both Fort & Brave Max (and both cost me more than $250).

The Grand Maximus is griffin's acquisition. He flew down from Brisbane for the day to pick up a Grand Max he sourced in Sydney, and so came over here before his return flight. We decided to have some fun with posting his acquisition.

Congrats griffin (:
