The weapon certainly does look out of place on Grimlock's back, but on Overkill it's almost right! If only they gave him a second one, and both were all chromed-up, and were able to attach onto his sides ;)Quote:

SO we have TRU Masterpiece Optimus Prime, Masterpiece Lambor, TF Prime Airachnid, Rumble, Dead End, Kup, TF Prime First Edition Entertainment pack and Vehicons and Mattel Voltron Classic Black lion (Combined with his fellow lions in all their massive brightly coloured plastic glory) All right, he's not a Transformer buy my god. it's epic. All really, REALLY awesome toys. I wasn't expecting Lambor to be so small,but I love Sideswipe, and he is pretty awesome.
Airachnid is nowhere near as awful as people have said,but the hands do suck. The only one that dissapointed me was Kup. Kup is TINY. Frustratingly so. So much so that i pray to toy jesus that they won't repaint him as ironhide but rather give us an Ironhide voyager (which is highly unlikely due to Beast Hunters.)
but all in all an epic haul of giant Transforming robot goodness.
I love Classic Grim's alt mode, it has and articulated tail and you can either have him 80's T-rex stomper with the tail dragging on the ground, or you can have him 90s onwards, balancing act with tail in the air. Brilliant!:DQuote:

Where was that picture again?:o

Recieved a MIB Encore Sky Lynx today from an eBay seller (and I suspect it was an OTCA member - so if I'm right, thanks again!!).
Was never interested in owning this guy when I was a kid but now I've got him in hand, I don't mind him. :)
That Matty voltron is super sweet!!
I dare say that most of us never had Sky Lynx as kids since he was never released in Australia. ;)Quote:

Found and purchased Legends Quickblade Bumblebee and Decepticon Flamewar.

Got this today from the post office, target, and myer. I'm happy that they restocked Kreon Micro changers but they had NO GALVATRON and he is the only one I am missing for the preview wave. Also arms micron Swave is a Christmas present for a friend.

received this from the U.S. today to help with the last of my classics collection which I'm stoked with finally getting.:D:D:cool:
http://i1219.photobucket.com/albums/...4/DSC05206.jpg
I think I might get into the classics cars. They look so good. My classics is still in infancy but i'll get there. I really live that Prowl.
Just so you know, here are some pics showing the differences between the Hasbro Universe (right) and TakaraTOMY Henkei (left) versions of Prowl:Quote:

I personally prefer Henkei Prowl myself. But Universe Prowl is nice too, and it's a nice mould either way. :D
Recieved Classics/Universe Starscream from VERT. Finally have a Classics Starscream that actually looks like Starscream! :)
bwahhhahhahaahha:DQuote:

The best thing about that mould is probably the in-build shoulder cannons. The mould has a really odd way of transforming the doors/front side panels that makes them pop off during transformation if you're not careful.Quote:

I'm happy with this little haul today.
Foc and soundwave from eBay. Rest from target.

Received Botcon 2009 Thunderclash thanks to Gutsman Heavy :)

- Loving the terrible clash of colours!
Congrats on the Soundwave. I love that one.
i like those prime toys.shame target hasn't pulled thier finger out and shipped some up here
Dark EnergonWheeljackSlicer pics as promised.
Forgive the iPhone quality pics.
niice, he doesnt have any faction symbols on him does he Odie?
hmmm a bottle of Smirnoff next to the soy sauce ;);):D:p lol
First thing I noticed, along with the Tabasco :D:D:DQuote:

He's got Autobot symbols on the arms/car sides, so anyone wanting to repurpose him will want some kind of Decepticon stickers of roughly equal size to cover them. I'm gonna use the spares that came with AM Breakdown and Soundwave.Quote:

There's also usually one bottle of sake and one bottle of Kahlua on hand, and right now a bottle of Malibu is visiting for a while too - I got it to keep me company during a typhoon, but the typhoon ended up missing us so my "Drink Rum and Watch Pirates of the Caribbean" day got cancelled.
Japan is pretty convenient as far as alcohol goes, though it's hard to find any decent Aussie beer.Close but not quite - I find Bloody Marys to be better for hangover days.Quote:

Picked up FOC Soundblaster from Target Bass Hill this afternoon - very happy, thought I missed to boat on this one :)
Found a package in the carport yesterday (Sunday)... god knows how long it had been there.
It was slightly dinged but the contents were OK: United Ultra Magnus courtesy of TF Source's Thanksgiving sale!
Just got my Art of Fall of Cybertron book in the mail.
In one word, it's... AWESOME!!!
