Theres a shortish story here.

As some of you will know I've been looking to acquire an Animated Ramjet for a long time now, being pretty much the last character from the show that has a toy that I don't have a representation of.

a couple years ago a legendary member here, TinyJazz notified me that she had seen one for sale on the Mandarake web store, I checked it out and spent a half day looking to see what else I could add to the order to save a bit on shipping. by the time I built up my basket and made the order, someone had purchased the Ramjet from their bricks and mortar store and I missed out.

They turn up on eBay once in a while for around $100 AU, more often more than this. It was an exclusive only available with purchase in Japan during the run of the show, so fairly rare.

A few weeks ago another legendary member here notified me of the same thing, a MISB Animated Ramjet available on the Mandarake web store. With shipping it worked out at about $45. not cheap but below the threshold I've set myself for completing the animated collection.

The legendary member is Sinnertwin.

I jumped on and ordered straight away. I also threw in one other item but didn't spend much time looking.
it turned up this week in a massive box, shrink wrapped to a thick card and then all bubble wrapped.

A big Thank you to Tinyjazz and Sinnertwin for keeping an eye out and thinking of me.

here is my acquisition:

Congratulations! I'm jealous :p

Ramjet's on my animated wants as well. One of my goals for this year is to complete my Animated collection (depending on finances ofcourse).

First haul in a while...a loose Generations Megatron (the stealth bomber one, Hasbro version which is kind of a bummer but it's still a neat little toy), a loose Cybertron Defense Red Alert which I intend to paint into an Odieverse Stalker someday, a loose-but-super-cheap RiD Strongarm, a Microman Asuka Langley Soryu to ride my Human Alliance Reverb, a copy of the Watchmen comic, and a MicroBlaze Creations Military Titans set for my G2 WfC Combaticons, which I also need to get repainted G2-style.
Not a bad haul, though I missed out on a loose Animated Shadow Blade Megatron. Gone when I went back for it...:(

These arrived in the last week or so. The yellow guy was the one I referred to in the waiting game thread as being my most expensive individual TF purchase ever. Sad considering this is a heavily re-used seeker but I was playing catch up.

Shout out to Raider who kindly swapped boxes with me for Ramjet and one Shockwave.

I just opened up mine and transformed it for the first time last night. a great transformation and very good toy. I just wish there was a little more foot articulation. I can live without it of course.

Aw, UM! I'm really glad you finally got one, and at a good price too. (BBTS was selling these for $80USD when they came out) Now I don't feel so bad about dropping my mosc one a few weeks ago, haha.

Picked him first... Ill grab the rest later on... no rush, might even grab them overseas instead , they'll be much cheaper with the sale price I hope, lol. If I miss out, not a big loss since there's already the versions of this set before... Just need a Skylynx.

MP Ratchet came yesterday. Pretty impressed not a single chrome scratch on any of the parts compared to Ironhide with heaps of tiny scratch at chrome bumper and a quite obvious long scratch on one of the headlights. well looks like QC is getting their acts together this time for Ratchet :rolleyes:

Snagged the Record Store Day release of Transformers: The Movie (1986) soundtrack on 2x12" vinyl. Super cool, despite the sleeve artwork on the inside being from Combiner Wars/Generations, etc.
