Now have to decide whether to display Dreadwind and Darkwing with my Dreadwind/Darkwing display or with my Overlord base display...

This is to be expected. The toys may be made of better quality materials but the QC is equally as bad since they are likely coming from the same factory as the Hasbro releases. We saw that with Henkei.

NUT CONVOY: Hi Pipes!

NUT CONVOY: Aarrggh! Pipes! Someone ripped your face off and put it on the back of your head!

PUFFER: I'm not Pipes, I'm Puffer.

http://img545.imageshack.us/img545/5431/puffer3.jpg

NUT CONVOY: Hey� you're that guy from the little box photo that's always above my stories!

PUFFER: Yep. In the early days of third-season Transformers, Mexico didn't have the retooled Minibot moulds, so they released Pipes using the Huffer mould. I'm super-rare and Sky Shadow's ultimate holy grail.

NUT CONVOY: Wow, you're awesome! You probably even know who killed Flash Lio Convoy!

PUFFER: �No hablo ingl�s.

NUT CONVOY: But you just�

PUFFER: �No hablo ingles, se�or!

BURNING CONVOY: Detective Sergeant Garboil, are you any closer to finding Flash's killer?

GOD NEPTUNE: Yeah, Garboil, we need his body for the funeral.

GARBOIL: Soon, Neptune; Burning Convoy. I appreciate that you were Flash's best friends and you've been patient, which is why we have Max and Mol here right on it � the force's two top forensic experts.

NUT CONVOY: Oh. Is one of them a serial killer who only kills other serial killers?

GARBOIL: Of course not.

MAX-B: Actually, I am.

GARBOIL: Okay, Max is.

MOL BURRO: And I do that too. On weekends.

GARBOIL: And Mol, apparently.

NUT CONVOY: So� if they're both serial killers who kill other serial killers, doesn't that mean they should kill each other?

[MAX-B and MOL BURRO share an uncomfortable look.]

MAX-B: Um� Anyway... you got the murder weapon wrong, Detective Sergeant. Flash wasn't stabbed twice in the chest by a sharp object.

GARBOIL: He wasn't?

MOL BURRO: No, he was stabbed once in the chest by two sharp objects. Two long, sharp, curved objects.

BURNING CONVOY: What? What are you looking at?

PUFFER: �Ay, no es bueno!

Seeing as my one's still locked away in his cardboard and plastic prison and I have no intention of opening it, I think Gok (and the rest of the forum) are keen to hear your thoughts on him in the review thread G. ;)

Well, I was looking for windchargers for HD on my local Kmarts (read: accessible by train) but found none:( sorry HD the search continues...

I ended up seeing - FINALLY- RTS (rub the sign:p) Goldbug, Prime , Megatron and non painted head Starscream -Woolies - which is $2 :(more than TRU price. Ah well....

Finally picked up a RtS painted-head Starscream :D I'm gonna leave the other MOSC as a variant :p

Also scored a second Megatron and Prime so I can open them up and play.

Thanks to Paul Agnew for the tip-off!

Damn, if only I could get there.

Anyone willing to grab one for me and I fix em up at the next fair?

I should have mentioned this last week. Got Generations Darkmount on Thursday. This is an absolutely insane toy, from the upside-down-for-a-tank-transformer transformation to how perfectly it gets the look of Straxus without too big a concession to the need for an actual alt mode.

Energon Minicon Perceptor Combiner - courtesy of Vector Prime. :D

A big cheers to Jimoinj as these 3 books leave only 4 left for me to complete the Titan Books - US G1 Marvel Reprints collection! :eek::D:D:D
Equally huge thanks to Vector Prime for the Minicon Combiner, I'm not a fan of Armada/Energon/Cybertron but I like the Minicons - They're sort of a modern day Micromaster (Not quite as cool but close ;)). :D:cool:

man thats painfull to hear..... $89? a few months ago? even the KO is out of stock. Been a TFormer fan since i was a kid but I had managed to not buy the toys now that im all grown up...... generations finally broke my resistance and ive been spending like crazy since. Just CHUG's and relevant RTS but im also branching into 3rd party shortly..... knowhere has City Commander(or Shadow) cept ebay at like $200+

also really want munitioner/explorer since Swindle and Bruticus in general are some of my fav cons.

just ordered protector/sidearm and im thinking the Perfect effect Rumble/Frenzy Eject/Rewind sets will be next.

No problem. They do cost a tad extra, but it can be far better picking them up immediately rather than risk never seeing the figures again.
