Vector Prime: The Japanese version of Vector Prime features more show-like colours whereas the Hasbro version is white. I'm surprised you don't already have one considering your namesake! :)
Interesting to see that Transformers in Korea are now being distributed by a company called Mocom instead of Sonokong. Wha--?! Wing Sabre's Korean name is Ultra Jet?! (o_O) Perhaps that sounds better to Korean kids than "Wing Sabre"...
Alternator Rodimus - thanks Luke

Although I acknowledge the Takara version of Vector Prime to be more show accurate and overall a nicer paint job - The white Hasbro version ain't too bad either and I like it. I have both versions and was thinking of selling the Hasbro one after getting the Takara release but I am not sure now since I somewhat like it.Quote:

I like the white colour on the hasbro one, it's very brilliant and contrasts well with the blue. however the deficiency in the paint apps, the bland cyber planet key and bendy-plastic wings lost it for me.Quote:

Well...my still in package Optimus Minor arrived from China
via ebay today.
I cracked him open and had a play with him...and I really
like him. The 4 arm robot mode gimmick is pretty cool...
Much like that character I took my name from...
;)
My first TF acquistion for the year: Buster Optimus Prime. Thanks Blackie.
First acquisitions for the year is G1 Steeljaw, Rewind and Actionmaster Devastator, thanks to Hot Rodimus

It's Wings of Honour out as a regular comic you buy?Quote:

Can i ask where you got the Lio Convoy and how much?
Vaguely on my radar is a regular colour version (saw a few in Japan once, wish i got one then!)
Okay...so it was a pay day Friday today...which means I had fun...
~ Universe Onslaught arrived via ebay...Its finally great to add
him to my collection...the big, ugly bastard he is. Monzo! ;)
~ Then I went to Toy'R'Us and picked up a Snake Eyes Mighty Mugg
which was only $15.00...Score! :cool:
~ And then I went to Target and picked up Animated Activators
Dirge, Cliffjumper and Grimlock...Each only costing me $5.00...
Another Score! :eek:
And earlier in the day I ordered Alternity Megatron (the sexy blue
version) Alternity Bumblebee and Beast Machines Mirage...who
was very cheap...off ebay.
Today was a good day.
:D
After 3 1/2 years, and many hundreds of dollars, I finally completed the collection of BotCon 2006 toys, with the arrival today of Laserbeak.
(the red one at the front on the right)

And on Monday (according to a message from DHL on my phone), the first of my big toy splurge this week, arrives - JP black Movie Optimus.
I was a bit naughty this week. After all my travelling in November, and the lead up to Christmas, I didn't have the time or money to keep up with TFs purchases. So I did up a list last weekend of what I wanted that is currently out that I wanted (was about 40 items), and comparing prices on several online stores and ebay, I ended up buying about 30 of them, costing me about a grand! Egads!!!
(list below is pasted from my files - prices are US$ - I left in the links in case others wanted to track down these items but couldn't find them for less)

Aside from the expense of all that at once (which would have been spread over 3-4 months anyway), it wasn't too bad an effort, with me only unable to find 4 items at an acceptable price. Can't wait for the next couple weeks, as they all (hopefully) arrive. :D
well thanks to Jaydisc and Hot Rodimus i now have a complete unbroken ;) G1 Springer and after repainting the chrome he looks great!!
you paid 180 total for black optimus?:eek:
That's the direct-from-the-source AU$ price - you can't find it elsewhere online for less than US$200 plus shipping.Quote:
