Cryptic clue to my acquisition today: What's a four-letter word that starts with F and ends with K?
Answer: Flak :D
"You're only young once, but you can be immature forever." :p
From the Post Office today:
From 'Operation Combination', Spin Road vs Dark Jet and Checker Road vs Moon Jet.

This completes the 4 2-pack of the Road Corps/Jet Corps that I have.
Now that is an impressive acquisition, thanks for posting up pics as I had never seen these sets before. Any idea if there are noticeable differences between the Japanese and European releases? I only note the weapon/missile sprues.Quote:

Ooh! - Very nice finds there Valkyrie :D, it is interesting that these versions come with the missiles on sprues; so the European version didn't have theirs on sprues did they?Quote:

Some very nice acquisitions there, especially the '86 Movie Soundtrack and TPB; neither particularly easy to acquire to my understanding. :eek::cool:Quote:

The IDW movie tpb is still a relatively easy find.
It's not exactly the most popular product of IDW's. It's only worthwhile for the art.
Not easy to find here in melbourne :-(
Just curious, which intel ended up paying off?Quote:

Kup and Darksteel were from a private supplier.
The Abebooks. I didn't get it from the UK section though; found out that they also have an Oz section which provides one more option, cheaper actually, so went for it. ;) Vendor still from US though.Quote:

DOTM Powerglide and Guzzle (was cheaper to get the Japanese versions, no difference other than a sticker)
Encore Ratchet and Ironhide (extras just because they were cheap).
And collectible game/tech specs card. ;)Quote:

Picked up the Botcon comic from my LCS this week, the Diamond edition, naturally.
One for me, one for Arcee (along with the regular ongoing, bleh I dislike this art)>
Thanks for the tip. My local comic store didn't have it today when I picked up the ongoing (they probably only ordered it in for customers who asked for it). I'll be hunting the other shops in town tomorrow.Quote:

Oh yeh, now it's time to go hurt myself!! :D
Wow! I found those in America back in 2008 or 2009, and even bought a box because I didn't think they'd ever be released here.
Never used any yet... I didn't want to waste them. :p
*imagines Griffin covered in untreated minor cuts and bruises*
OH and I've preordered Striker Optimus with Battle swords,
I love having a job.
I believe those band aids are being sold in some Franklins stores as well. The wifey bought me some a few months back. Was looking for a band aid in our cupboard the other day and couldn't bring myself to open the pack :p
I got my TF Animated Band Aids from Woolies ages and ages ago

OVERLORD!!! SWEET. Would be be selling your spare Metrotitan?
A random tangent... did you sell a G2 Devastator chestpiece on ebay the other week?
Hi Aqua. I would be selling it but I really need $120 for it or something equivalent, I know I probably done my money on it. I was going to swap the pink bits for black bits from a metroplex if I don't get rid of it.Quote:

I did sell that chest piece unfortunately. I just got that other parts lot pictured, if you wanted anything or recognize anything. I just bought it for the diaclone magnus head (I think)
Damn! - Sweet haul Geigerrock, many envious items amongst that lot mate, congratulations! :eek::cool:
My haul from the Parra Fair and 1AZRAEL1:

Hey. You got marbles:) and whirl:D nice one. I like that micro stealth bomber too.
Man ,that power ranger thing is huge. I've got the green and black dragon bit, but i think i gave away the yellow and blue legs. I didn't figure out they went together.:rolleyes:
