Oh no!! Your toys will get sunburn...you really want to avoid that :)

Even though I have to admit that, the sunshine does make the photography of TFs sooooooo much better...

ARGH I can't find Guzzle anywhere. He looks awesome! Keeping it in theme...

My first acquisition for the year and for the past 6 months: Legends Roadbuster, pictured with his Wreckers buddies:

I believe Kmart's are the best place to try for Guzzle. I got mine while on Xmas break in QLD but I'll let you know if I find any here in Perth. :)

Haha, better later than never eh? ;) Hopefully the shelves will be stocked up with Prime goodness before long. Will be nice to see something new, even if we'll probably scoff at the local prices and order online. :p

Got the 3 legion wreckers the other day, most happy with leadfoot, great detail on such a small figure IMO.

I opened up HFTD Highbrow the other day, absolutely fantastic figure, great appearnce in alt mode, enjoyable transformation, and a great poseable robot mode, the only complaint is the arems are a little mongy but apart from that i love it. another great aircraft transformer.

I have also acquired and opened cyberverse shockwave and ratchet and their playsets. nice.
no pics at this stage.

Was that Highbrow ever released here? I got one off ebay over a year ago but dont remember ever seeing him here in oz.

That Cyberverse Shockwave is good! Especially for $14 at Kmart! Only got the Ratchet for the Lunar repair bay really.

I don't think Highbrow ever came out here.

I believe it didn't see any Australian release:(.

I gotta keep looking for that Shockwave playset!! Ive gone on a binge in Cyberverse playsets lately due to the lack of anything Tfwise in my collecting lately :p
Still have to track down a Cyberverse Topspin legion to complete my trio of Wreckers...

As far as I'm aware it was not. I was lucky enough to find one at Botcon last year, to top it off it turned out to be the Japanese release with better platic colours.

I bought a lot there, and at other times, my opening rate is a lot slower than my acquisition rate has been over the last couple years, I'm becoming a misb collector without even trying:(:o

Highbrow wasn't released here by Hasbro, but import stores may have had it (if anyone claims that they bought it here).

Thanks to AX83 I have Beast Wars Transmetal Megatron and Depth Charge!
These guys are in excellent condition are perfect replacements for my broken and incomplete older toys.
Megatron is seriously really really nice looking. I've transformed him once already and the arm joints that are notorious for breaking are VERY tight so i'm thinking he's staying in robot mode for the rest of his life.

BTW if anyone wants a Depth Charge missing a missile and one of his discs and a TM Megatron that needs reparing I can probably let them have it for a very good price.

Two magnificent toys!

You could always track down a DC missile and disk and sell him for a great price instead of incomplete for a good price.

More Cyberverse Playsets and figures. These will go well with the previous Ark playset I purchased - since I dont intend on getting the full size figures, for DOTM characters this will do...

For the love of all things Cybertronian TB, don't transform that Megatron if it's a Hasbro release; it's truly not worth it to risk it. :eek::o
A huge congratulations though man as both figures are freakin' sweet but if you want a TM Megatron dude go with the Takara release as you wont have anything to worry about then. ;):)

What a most interesting haul! Those Prime kids actually look pretty decent, miles better than the 3rd party TFA humans and HA freaks. Might have to look out for that set when the toys hit Oz. :D

I think you'll be kept busy going through and sorting out all that paperwork, if only regular paperwork that arrived in the mail were as exciting rather than the regular bills. :p
