Seeing Hursti's recent Rock Lord acquisitions prompted me to search for a decent lot to get a bit of a collection going myself. Went for this auction today, can't wait for the nostalgia rush when they arrive! :D http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/140621459...#ht_483wt_1105
It is cool but its also missing two more decoys - the six autobots are the same in every game while the 2 decepticons are always random.Quote:

Thanks Hursti, so many fond memories came flooding back after seeing your Rock Lords. I just had to go on the hunt for some! :cool:Quote:

Hehe, glad you've been inspired man, they're far cooler than those dopey Gobotronians. :pQuote:

Man, I truly hate being a poorper at times :(:
Indeed! I feel the Rock Lords are, like many things from the 80's, so bad they're awesome but the Gobots are just plain awful. :pQuote:

Hehe, stupid cyborgs from the planet apple core! :p:DQuote:

(The Transformers were just more fun :o)
I know huh? - how bloody ridiculous :rolleyes::p, but if I had the money?; yes, yes I would buy them as they very rarely ever seem to rear their ugly faces anywhere. :oQuote:

That seller has a quite a substantially large range of rare Japanese G1 figures too, just don't look at the prices. :p
Galvatron never really did know when to shut up. :pQuote:

Hopefully he isn't the "Fortress Maximus" of the Rocklords series.
Hehe! :p:DQuote:

Aww... I actually could've used that bloke! :pQuote:

Not to worry though, Nuggit is not terribly hard to locate or afford, he's certainly no Fort Max. :D
...Shameful? - Hey buddy, remember that saying about Sticks and Stones? :p:D
