Check this place out... feel like paying 70000JPY ($857) for Computron? :eek:

Anyway, I got my first December acquisition today! Picked up the grey Megatron トランスフォーマー shirt from Jayjays today. :)

I just wanna go there to see the cherry blossom festival, but since its prime holiday season at that time in Japan , flight costs would prolly be prohibitive, and also I wouldnt be able to communicate with most of the locals would frustrate me even more :(

ah well, prolly would have cheap stuff if we knew when is their toysale there or something...

Another that you may be interested in is the Transformers Generations book. It can be quite hard to track down a copy (not to mention expensive), but it's well worth it for the photography alone. It's written in Japanese.

It is a great book. I also have both GI Joe versions from Mark Bellomo aswell.

The only reason I didn't get Transformers Generations is I can't read Japanese :)

Got me an animated Waspinator and a Sentinel Prime for one of my sons for $14.88 each from Perth Target yesterday.

I like the waspinator figure but I found the transformation very simple. It seemed to be a case of fold his legs together then stand him up.

Picked up a pair of TF shorts from Jayjays today. Not cheap. :(

Which ones were they Goki? I have been waiting for these. Oh, and how expensive were they?

The black shorts with blue outline logos. They're $40 a pop. :[

Buster Prime thanks to Tober.

Wow, his gun is EPIC. Any chance of a face close-up, gamblor?

I got given a Philosophy of Transformers book the other day.
Just started reading it. It seems interesting
