Some people like to collect only originals, for purity purposes, like I don't collect fan-made or replica stuff. Saying you have a Gen1 collection that are actually from the 80s has more value (not talking financial value) than a collection filled with reissues. Plus there are people who do collect them for financial/investment purposes.

I have a lot of reissues because I prefer a nicer looking collection when on display and to play with, and they are a lot cheaper option to achieve that.

got my Optimus speaker bust today, preorderd in march from RobotKingdom...

How much did the speaker cost?

$29US

Picked up All Hail Megatron #13 and the IDW Energon Vol 1 TPB.

The Energon trade continues IDW's fine tradition of poor quality reprinting of Dreamwave comics. The only reason I'm half tempted to recommend the book is that half the story is set in Western Australia.

Really it's probably cheaper to buy the individual issues anyway which did have issues with murky colouring but at least all the speech balloons were in sharp focus.

hell yeah. I still got BT01 Smokescreen & a whole bunch of 6" titaniums and classics on the way

to think i even used to work at TRU at one point and used to stare and spend my breaks looking at TFs but never actually bought not even one (still can't believe that).

im spewing now cos i used to work in the back and we used to have a bin full of banned toys MISB during xmas to be destroyed and some of my mates and i would sneak a peek but they were all kinds of toys, don't remember any TFs in the sin bin

then all of a sudden my gf buys me a rotf leader prime & jetfire for my bday this year and something clicked :confused: :eek:

Got encore bruticus and tape set 2 today. :)

Still on about it!

I find a LARGE individual pic of every toy everyone has seen before anoying maybe even kind of rude? (I use my iphone to view threads) not sure...

Who would lie anyway seriously?

Anyway I have a suprise for you digger, some very special pics just for you, I'll post them in the G1 thread, you'll just need to wait till wednesday, not an acquisition as such but I just found them again... I had lost them for a while... so im counting it ;)

Transformers 2 Movie Score - I actually got it last Saturday, but that still counts doesnt it? :)

Same thing happened to me. Congratulations on so many cool toys.

Picked up these on Friday..

Blazemaster and Dead End @ BigW Joondalup 24.99 each

Planet Keys set I picked up on layby from BigW with the other rotf deluxes but it was 67.99

The Roll Out Command scanned at $60 @ KMart Joondalup so I grabbed it..

Excellent cylinder packaging for this guy.. I scanned one at KMart Warwick for $129 I don't have much of the Animated stuff, but I like this figure.

Okay... here's my BIG acquisition...

I did an acting job recently and was lucky enough to speak to the right people about getting an official ROTF cardboard 3D display used at the cinemas...

http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/k...se/TFgiant.jpg

And just to give you an idea of how HUGE this thing is...
http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/k...e/TFgiant3.jpg

The good news is it splits in half, so I'm gonna put them behind my display shelves.

Good work Robsy- its not what you know its who you know! lol

Thanks to Andy and Skyshadow for these toys:

holy crap! you definitely weren't joking when you said it was a big standee.

Picked up the Complete G1 collection on DVD today, and got Spotlight 1 the other day from kings. Also have my eye on a nice Jetfire bust, but i dunno if ill get it.

Nice one Robzy! What an acquisition! :D

I finally got my Snowcat thanks to it hitching a ride from the USA with lhec's Primus. Thanks buddy!

Energon/Trilogy toys really aren't my era, but I loved my GI Joe Snowcat when I was a kid and I have custom plans for this guy anyway.

Also, my order from Toy Wave, my new favorite reseller, just arrived:

Not only did it arrive, but since I spent over US$300, I am now a member of their VIP club (10% off next order) and got this free T-shirt!
