Just picked up ROTF Dirge from Kmart Parramatta ;)
Has anyone made any sightings of ROTF Bludgeon or ROTF Mindwipe yet?
Got myself some Brakedown luvin last night but his front windsheild has some weird bubble/warped effect going on in one small area. Curse you Hasbro, he looked so good from the front! :(
Question - a lot of people seem to be buying Breakdown; is this because he's an awesome toy or just because we're all suffering from a Transformers dry-spell?
he is awesome, and if you shorten his arms via his transformation process he'll fit in to the classics fairly well.
It's 'Brakedown' and as Guts said he's awesome! I'm really impressed with the ROTF scouts what with Ransack, Ejector and now Brakedown...And to think there's still Skystalker to come! Good times indeed. :DQuote:

Thanks for letting me know guys. I might just have to pick one up.
Oops! I thought it was spelt the same as his G1 namesake 'Breakdown' :oQuote:

Oh, last Thursday I gots myself a pair of Megatron shorts from Jayjays. The price is down to $30 which is better than before, but still a bit pricey (I'd like to see it drop down to $20)
I looked into this a bit more and it appears as though they don't have 'Breakdown' as a registered trademark anymore.
Brakedown however was registered in 2005.
The guy who wrote the fake Transformers 3 script did his homework.
Not exactly a great name though is it? :p
Megatron *pinky to lip*: I shall call him...Brakedown!
Brakedown: What zee hell pendajo, are you saying my engine's gonna blow every 5 kilometres travelled or sumesing? And why do I have a Mexican accent, gringo?
Drag Queen: Hey stop your whining rustacon, your new name could be a lot worse. *fights the tears*
Got a bit of early Xmas present in the form of a photography lightbox! Been having a lot of fun with it this afternoon. :)

Picked up today - Animated Activator Soundwave and NEST Dirge from BigW (left the NEST redecos for a sale), Legends Sideways and Recon Bumblebee from a Target (couldn't find the other two there), and another Movie Ceramic Mug plus one of those popcorn-filled buckets (at the same Target).
here's what i picked up today:

Wish they had been at the Target I was at today. :(
Hope I find them tomorrow though, while the 25% off sale is still on...
With Breakdown it's because he could cause other machines to break down, as stated in his tech specs bio:Quote:

As for "Brakedown"... umm... I guess it means he likes to keep his brakes down? He's probably one of those d***heads who like to p*** off other drivers by cutting in front of you and hitting their brakes and then they keep hitting their brakes to drive real slow, but if you try to overtake them they just quickly accelerate and cut you off. Happened to me once while I was driving down a 3-lane main road (but it was late at night so there were no other cars on the road at the time). The car was full of guys who turned around and laughed at me while they were driving at the speed of a slow bicycle and wouldn't let me pass them... they kept slamming their brakes trying to make me rear-end them. (-_-) Man Brakedown's a jerk!!

Over the last week:

Rumbler was cheap on eBay. Just the figure - but it's not like I'll ever display the exosuit so I don't mind. Having said that I'll probably end up getting it one day. And thus completes the non-Elite AMs (:
Only my second acquisition for the month of December... ROTF NEST Dirge courtesy of Kmart's $20 deluxe sale.
Overall, it's kinda 'meh' - even at $20, not great value for money (it's a bit small for a deluxe).
Brakedown for me and a couple of TF Animated jigsaw puzzles for me and the kids.
Just took delivery of the fantastic G1 Autobot, Catilla! :D

Nice score Doubledealer and an amazing photo :eek: What sort of camera do you use?
Thanks mate! I use my girlfriends Digital SLR which is a pretty old Pentax doo-dad (although she's going to upgrade to a Nikon D90 soonish). Photo was taken in RAW format (non-compressed) with autofocus and flash turned off.Quote:

ROTF Bludgeon :):). Sorry no pics ATM Im overseas and only posting at the local internet shop. ( as in slow net:() got 1 for you as well cousin ( kristoferrer) so you wont have to hunt for it... unless you want doubles then you have to text me:D so I can get another at the Xmas toyfair. There a whole heap of toys here .. cheaper by a few dollars but still same as what retail stores in Aus have... was tempted to get a buster prime but I have other things in mind to buy other than toys (clothes, home decor, etc) so I have to save my budget:o:o Anyways my targetted toy is already in hand so if I dont get to buy any other toy, Im very satisfied with it alone.:D
legends wheelie
It's finally arrived.. just now...!! :D
Transformers Animated Electrostatic Soundwave!!!
I personally prefer to only pay a total of AUD$15-20 for deluxes (trying to keep deluxe acquisitions as close to 1997 prices as possible)... But I actually paid a bit more for this one... close to AUD$40 including postage...
Went back on eBay to leave the dude feedback only to find another dude from the UK selling him for AUD$30 including postage...
Here's the link if anybody's interested...

Doubledealer: Good work getting Catilla. A somewhat ironic acquisition considering that like Doubledealer, Catilla also has dubious issues with allegiance (although arguably driven by a distinctly different set of morals than Doubledealer). :)
Anyway, I picked up yesterday:
+ Tales of the Fallen: The Fallen
+ #2 of the ongoing series (I'ma gonna call it "Transformers: F'Ugly")
+ #1 of Bumblebee
+ Latest issue of the Transformers Prey reprint. I really like the UK reprints as they allow me to fill in odd gaps in my existing G1 UK collection. Being a weekly comic during the 80s when I was a kid who didn't have the resources to buy comic books every single week I'd often skip an issue, and it's not easy finding UK back issues. :)
got leader class prime and legends g1 jazz
Cheers mate. Bought and Wreck-Gar for $75.Quote:

Wow TRU is having some good sales at the moment. Wish that one in Melb Central was still there.
I got him at Kmart too but thought he was awesome, TF jets that look good in both modes were pretty rare till ROTF. I far prefer him to my other recent Mergeyverse aquistion Brakedown.Quote:
