Here are my 1st acquisitions for the new month.
Courtesy of Jgon and delivered by 1AZRAEL1, the G1 cassettes and G1 Blades from a bloke on eBay in TAS:
I've been purchasing a few more Transformer statues of late.
I have around 47 in total now
Shockwave and Thundercrack - both Decepticons

Battle damaged Optimus Prime with the Matrix of Leadership taken out of his chest. As you can see the Polystone detail is beatiful as well as the battle damaged look.

Here was my Holy Grail purchase - Soundwave.
It has taken me around 8 months to find him. I ended up buying him from EBAY from some fella in the UK. DHL courier delivery of $40! But well worth it.

Here is the purchase I just finalised with Grant (FATBOT)
He even gave me 20% off and his mum came to Brisbane from Sydney for Easter so I picked it up from here. I bought 12 TF statues in total .
The company who makes these TF statues are called Palaisades. They are not longer in business in the USA henceforth sourcing these are difficult if not impossible. They last made them in around 2005/2006.
I imagine I would have saved a fair bit on postage!!!!!!

From left to right in one row
1. Thundercracker
2. Sunstorm
3. Laserbeak
4. Padron Medic
5. Ravage
6. Grimlock
7. Megatron
8. Optimus Prime
9. Cliffjumper
10. Bumblebee
11. Ghost of Starscream (this is how he appears after Megatron kills in the TF cartoon G1 movie)
12. Ultra Magnus

In the purchase were two little rare ones - Laserbeak and Ravage. As you can see they are very small. These two TF belong to Soundwave and in the cartoons they were cassettes. The cool thing with Laserbeak was you can take him off his little stand and attach him to Soundwave's arm.

My tower cabinet is full now and I have to rearrange it!!
Nice statues Mr Ed.
I have the shockwave one (purchased from Case Fresh back in 2005), and I love it.
thanks.
Shockwave is pretty cool!
I used to prefer Diamond Select Toys statues, but I have grown pretty fond of the defunct Palisades statues now.
I truly wonder if they didnt go bust what would have happened.
As for Hard Hero - :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: yucky!!!!
Received this in the mail today thank to eBay. Now all I need is to get Cybertron Ratchet.

Today I got legends wheelie from Woolworths for $2. :)
It was so new, along with "armor prime", and some others, it wasn't in their system, but was advertised as $6.xx, $2 off, they sold it to me for $2. Sweet. :)
But then I went to msy and blew $1390 on a new asus n61ja laptop. :) Yes, with blu-ray too. :)
I went on a Cybertron/Galaxy Force binge at toystores today - partied like it was 2005. A Voyager, Ultra and Leader, all battery operated and all fantastic for just $83.99. Geez this was a great toyline - so much better than the couple that came before and afterwards. No Mini-Cons, well-designed toys, good gimmicks. The only annoyance is keeping those darn Cyber Planet keys when they're not plugged in. I love the Universe homage to RiD Bruticus - a great profile and concept finally gets a good toy. This is my second Crumplezone in the same colour - he's still simplistic fun and good for rolling across a table or floor. And I'd only owned the Hybrid Style version of Galaxy Force Optimus Prime before, so I was surprised that the (very simple) base mode wasn't on the instructions (it's in the Hybrid Style ones). I've pictured it below - it's the reason the wings can fold outwards - the toy doesn't use that joint in any mode other than this base mode:

Three great big toys for less than ninety bucks. Thank you Target and Toys 'R' Us.
Recent arrivals:
Animated Cybertron Ratchet
Animated Arcee
The Fury of Fearswoop set
All from eBay

Got the Shanghai Showdown set today (Tuesday), plus two Battle Chargers (Megatron, Stealth Bbee), so that I could use a $20-off voucher (for over $100 purchase) but still be elligible for another free Ravage (for Zippo). Which is being traded for a Scout 2-pack.
Not too bad then, as it works out to be $50 worth of free toys, after spending $90. :)
Bought Shadow Command Megatron to match my Amazon.co.jp Black Optimus Prime.

Complete Metal varient g1 Blurr came in the mail. Thanks again to lamatron.

Knight Morpher Commander arrived today from robotkingdom.
Awesome mold but ridiculously tight joints. I had to loosen up some of the screws to make the double-jointed elbows move smoothly.
Now that I've bought mine, I bet that they will release a re-paint with more cartoon accurate G1 colours or something...
Sixshot!
Via the 'bay. Very happy with him. The orange/yellowy tint of his arm stickers is due to the red-eye reduction thingy on my camera - although this doesn't seemed to have worked on Sixshot himself. :D
No idea if he is G1 or Reissue (so posted here instead of G1 thread).

Crazy Devy parts :D. 5FDP already put in the link in his reply :), it is sweet as. The plastic quality is really good and colors match very well. Ive only got the hip/thigh part, didnt order for the head and hands yet. BUt, I think I will, they also came out (or ewill be coming out) with a superion upgrade head ( just some light up feature - no biggie). Got it from BBTS.Quote:

Picked this up last week (not sure if it was March or April when I got it but I'm putting it here)

Hey HD, is there an ASSORT # on the bottom right of that card (next to the bubble)... I can't see one.Quote:

Got my MOSC Micromasters from Jgon yesterday, so nice. Only bummer thing is some of the wheels have rust on them and some with white powder (which Hursticon alluded to electrolosis)
I will post some pictures tonite when I get home after I takes them out :D
Yeah, he does look a little MOSC, but he isn't. The bubbles are actually not firmly attached to the card, in fact, I think the glue so dried up that the bubbles just detached themselves from the card without causing any tears or damage to the card (which is really great).Quote:

Unfortunately yes. The Constructicons were recently KO'd on individual cards (as opposed to the giftset that we all know about) and the main difference between those and authentic G1 carded Constructicons (including the Chinese reissues) is the absence of the ASST number on the front of the card.Quote:

The glue used to secure the bubble to the cardback has also been known to 'dry-up' causing the bubble to lift.
I'm fairly certain that the one you have is the recent KO. I hope it isn't :(
Where do you find these vouchers from? I've searched the net and found nothing!Quote:

It was on a purchase receipt from when I bought Shadow Command Megatron the week before. It had the condition of requiring a purchase of at least $100 of regular priced items, and expired on the 6th. When I used it on the 6th, I got another one on that docket, but still had the same expiry date, so appeared to be a limited time offer with no explination of how it was earnt.
Hmmm... I suspect that you may be onto something. I thought it slightly odd that the bubble did not fit Hook correctly and that's not something that should happen because I had a Hook when young and it was fine.Quote:

Finally another 2 Decepticons to add to my Classics/Universe 2.0 ranks, bringing my collection up to 296 - getting ever so close to that Golden 300 count. :D

Joining his comrades for this next shot, Darkwind:
Picked these up today.

The two leaders and free Recon ravage thanks to the current Toys'R'Us sale
Was a little dissapointed that my Toys'R'Us didnt have leader Ultra Magnus and that Countdown didnt count towards the sale but thankfully it was only $50 and not the $100 that they were marked on the shelves.
Man I hope you didnt get ripped off on that Constructicon there HD, those bl#*@y KO people, if I get my hands on them :mad:
