Picked up Masterpiece Grimlock (+ free accessory pack) and the TRU reissue Insecticons (thanx to Gutsman) and a complete G1 Scourge in very good condition!
What I got this week from the K-Mart and Big sales:
TF2 Movie Legends - Optimus Prime, Ratchet, Ironhide, Bumblebee, Sideways and The Fallen.
TF2 Movie Deluxe - Thrust and Ravage.

Im very satisfied with Thrust, he has a really good looking alt mode and his bot mode is very satisfying - much better than the Autobot Breakaway.
Plus this is my very first Thrust in any form :)
Ravage is also very well designed as a figure, even if his transformation is almost non-existent.
Legends The Fallen has pretty good poseability for his size.
Also, Legends Jetfire now has someone to merge with!
And now onto my main acquisition - my Birthday present to myself - TF2 Movie Devastator!
I also went to Winston Hills Big W yesterday to look for him, only to find a heap of the 5 pack Cybertron figures. So decided to wait till today, and to my luck found him at the nearby Big W before going to Uni :D
Simple transformation but very well in scale in bot mode with my newly acquired Legends. The Constructicons are solidly built, even if a little simple.
Overall I'm very satisfied with Devastator and happy to spend the same amount as a Leader (only just).
Now if only I was in Egypt for a shot of him on the Pyramid of Giza :p

2nd Thrust
im going to swap wings over if i can
Got BT-20 Argent Meister in the mail today from leigeprime (thanks man =oD)
Although I greatly appreciate leigeprime for the purchase, I think this is the official end of my BT interest (for no reasons related to leige btw =oP). Alternators Smokescreen was the figure that got me started with Transformer collecting as an adult, even more so when I discovered Binaltechs (as I loved the die-cast of my long lost G1's), and yet, my latest 2 BT's (BT-20 & BT-21) seem to have become victim to cost cutting. When I got my batch of BT-01, BT-03, BT-04, BT-08 & BT-10, I loved the die cast panels, the colour manual booklet, the collector card etc. Now, you get the same black and white fold-up instructions like all other figures, no card, and now with BT-20, I discover that the MazdaSpeed bodykit panels that differ from the BT-08 I already own, are molded in plastic! Although this was an unexpected disappointment, I could handle it a little better if they were actually painted decently. Instead, there are quite a few imperfections, and the actual figure quality felt quite 'tackier' compared to the earlier BT's, drawing further attention to cost cuts. Is this what we are to expect now that it's TakaraTomy? Or is it just me...?
Anyhoo, had my rant =oP
Could also possibly be mould degradation too, which happens when the same mould is reused. <shrug>
Yup. He's my favourite Animated Leader. :)Quote:

Picked up a RotF Chromia on Friday.
I was really disappointed with it at first but over the last couple of days she has really grown on me :).
Mixture of Target and Ebay:
Attachment 1196
opened Masterpiece Skywarp with apparently a small broken bit, but happy with it at half-price. I really like the box (pity the writing's all in japanese. I'd love to know what it says)
Heroes of Cybertron Optimus, Rodimus, Magnus... uh Megatronus and Soundwaveus
Animated Samurai Prowl
Backing card for Torca. 6 to go.
November haul:
G1 Jetfire - Finally added a 100% boxed Jetfire to my collection, the gunclip is my own to complete this set. Box is not as minty (or expensive) as others I've seen but I don't mind.. It is in one piece.
I would have been about 10 in the UK when I got this guy for Christmas but for a few days before I was sneaking the box out of the wrapping, checking him out, carefully wrapping him back up then stashing him back under the tree.
A few days later my family moved to Australia and I can distinctly remember running up and down the corridors of some hotel with him in Jetmode in the early hours of the morning. Hence the significance of this figure to me. The box still seems huge.. but back then it was ENORMOUS :p
- Galaxy Force Optimus Prime and Springer
- ROTF Thrust and Gears (which completes my collection of ROTF Deluxes to date).
- ROTF Blowpipe and Sideways
- Universe Silverbolt and Stormcloud
- TFC Reissue Thunderbolt and G1 Huffer, Seaspray and Outback thanks to SentinelPrime
- ROTF Supreme Devastator

ROTF Thrust from Big W Liverpool
Devastator RPM trackset from Liverpool Toys r Us.which will be given to my son next month for his 3rd birthday:D
Ok, in this month I got G1 grapple and octane and a complete G1 megatron original from the U.S not within AUS for only roughly $120.
Aside from Legal issues (which are bad both ways), what's the difference with buying a G1 Megatron from the US and one from within Australia?
http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...2009Haul05.jpg
Imax Blu Ray and Rodimus from Trademe since it doesn't look like my Henkei trade is arriving.
about $100 :PQuote:
