Picked this up today from the post office:

No photos for me atm, but
MOSC Classics Starscream,
TFCC Runamuck
and a Deluxe TF Prime Ratchet are this weeks acquisitions so far.
So envious of whoever it was who got Classics Screamer and Hotrod for $30
Most of us who got Classics Starscream and Hot Rod from regular retail stores like Kmart would've paid $25-30. How much are they going for now on the aftermarket?Quote:

I also won a bid yesterday or the day before for a MIP Battle in Space Rodimus vs Cyclonus for $15 that I was pleased with. After shipping it comes out to the retail price here, but as none of the shops near me stock it and it's out of stock on the TRU website, I'm really pleased to have won it at that price on eBay. I would have paid that much for Cyclonus alone, but getting a die-cast Matrix and a somewhat redundant Rodimus figure with that was pretty awesome.Quote:

I guess it's a good thing I like Rodimus so much! I'm even thinking of picking up the United Rodimus figure too... but not until I flesh out my collection a bit more with Jazz, Scourge, Wheeljack, Tracks and anything else I can find a good deal on. I'm also going to customise one of my RtS Rodimuses with the canopy mod and a new paint job. I want a really movie accurate Hot Rod, but none of the versions of the mould fit the bill perfectly.
Technically this acquisition isn't new or a Tf at all, but it is is TF related so Im still posting it here heheheh. I got the two artworks waay back but didn't wanna spend so much in framing them as framing here in Aus for some reason costs an arm and a leg:rolleyes: so I kept on scouting til I found finally in one of those dollar shops the frame that I think would suit it well. The artwork came with its own matting stuck to it so I had to adjust it in the middle but the matte kinda shows irregularity.... still, it's not so bad.
Hanging these two as overhead my headboard:)

and now for truly TF related stuff
PCC x2 - Didn't spot any of the dinos but mknell has me covered on that one so Im not looking for it anymore
Tf Prime Arcee - I hate to say this but this official toy definitely has a KO feel and look to it. The plastic looks so cheap :mad::mad:
Also picked up the latest MTMTE ongoing from PZ ( not pictured)
http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/b...s/DSC02002.jpg
^^Those pictures man!!:eek: sooooooo cool.
when/where are they from?
Thanks. I thought so too when I saw em which is why I didnt wanna just frame them with whatever but at the same time I didn't wanna spend too much that the frame is more expensive than the item itself. :o
I got them from ebay... uhmmmm not sure if it was 2 or 3 years ago.... as per the ebay literature in the auction - it was part of an exhibit of Transformers art in the US. There are still several from that same exhibit that that particular seller is selling. I just can't remember the seller's ID.
Like this one :)? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/CUSTOM-TR...ht_2869wt_1270Quote:

Big W Blacktown. They were not in the aisle where the TFs are . these were located at the powertools area - corner shelves. They seem to have scattered the toys to corner shelves all over the store so as to boost the sales but if one wasn't looking all over the store you'd miss it.Quote:

I have to say, he doesn't look like much in the packaging but once you have him in hand he's really quite fun. Much weightier than I expected too. I'm surprisingly enjoying this toy a lot more than I thought I would! And boy does the display look a whole lot better with a voyager sized Megatron leading the troops. *boots deluxe Megatron into the distance*
skybyte and desert storm ruination arrived a couple of days ago , along with transmetal 2 optimus primal and cyber shark :D
pics to come when more stuff gets here :D :D :D
Mind if I reuse this to represent what I bought from Big W last week? :pQuote:

So far have only opened Revoltech Bumblebee, very impressed, detailing is amazing, paint isn't the world's greatest but its still pretty good. I'd recommend picking him up, his scaling is also right to put him with the other DOTM figures.
Manged to score a Terradive for $8.50 from The Reject Shop :D
these came in today:

Picked up RTS Bumblebee from the reject shop sale today. 10 bucks for a deluxe can't really be beat in todays economy.
So jelly right now... :pQuote:

Am I right in thinking this is Ironfist/Fistitron?
Yep, sans weapon and stickers.Quote:

Where to find the weapon from now.
It's Ironfist. "Fisitron" is the name given to the BotCon figure because they were unable to secure the rights to the Ironfist name, but that's the original Ironfist which is either G1 or G2 depending on which packaging it came in -- but since you got yours loose, it's impossible to tell. Hence why a lot of fans call these toys "G1.5" :D
The weapon isn't that huge a deal TBH (it's a bit gatling gun with a scope on a skinny stand). I wouldn't stress over not having it. :p
Hey thanks for the info on him. It's nice when a chance score like this happens.Quote:

Couldn't find them. I only saw Leader BBs, masks and TF prime deluxes in the powertools area.Quote:

Hmmm I hope they didn't reshelf again, but that's where I found them. They also have the TF Prime Driller and Jackhammer CyberverseQuote:

My acquisition for today
Many Thanks to mknell for another PCC Im after and Skullcruncher for Metalhawk's sword accessory. :)

FOC Generations W1 with size comparisons and Gerneration Legion W1
Sorry for iPAD grainy pics
Up the price, lower the size... That's some BS right there. Love the figures but they should be the same size as the WFC onesQuote:

A Transmetal Tarantulas in very good condition. As a transformer he holds up well even today, apart from the arm articulation that is.
