FInally the masterpiece grimlock (takara).... after many months of waiting.
From last week's meet - Generations Megatron and Darkmount, plus Allspark Almanac Vol 2.
And today - Wave 2 AA Deluxes (Hailstorm, Sidearm Sideswipe, Elita-1, Tuner Skids), Wave 3 AA Deluxes (Terradive, Tomahawk, Electrostatic Jolt), Wave 2 PCC 2-packs (Icepick, Sledge, Leadfoot), Wave 1 Stealth Force Deluxes (Megatron, Autobot Gears), Wave 1 Stealth Force Electronic (Optimus Prime).
(nothing unusual or rare, so no need for a pic)
Overlooked yesterday during my six-year-old son's birthday... a stack of guns in the mail!
Galvatron handgun
Hot Rod short gun
G2 Megatron missile
Flat Top missiles x2
Got Terradive today. And yeah... I tried putting his trident in Octopunch's hand. It fits, but he can only hold it at the bottom part of the shaft which doesn't look terribly good to me. Oh well... I had to try it. :p

I'm satisfied with my Mer-Man trident on Octopunch, but hey - if you wanna find me a better trident I won't refuse. :)
HA Jazz, set me back $35 after I used a $25 gift card obtained from a random stranger.
holy crap, I totally gotta get that trident for my Octopunch!Quote:

It's a Decepticon party for my acquisition this September so far. Poor Tomahawk, If Terradive doesn't finish him, Straxus and Megatron surely will.

Over the last few days:

Straxus is excellent, and the other two also good. Bumblebee carries Hasbro's mismatched yellows, but it's much better than some earlier toys.
Got my Crossfire Munitioner and Explorer sets today. Very nice. Very nice.
And finally recieved the Optimal Optimus I won off Ebay nearly a month ago. Very annoyed, item is not in "Excellent Condition, As New, 100% Complete." but has some serious wear on the gorilla face, scratches on the "Optimal Optimus" nametag, is missing two of the clear missiles and the right arm's ratchet is so stiff I'm afraid I'm going to snap the arm off if I try to move it.To top it off seller waited a week after payment to post the item, And then when he gets to the post offfice, LEFT IT IN HIS DAMN CAR AND FORGOT ABOUT IT FOR ANOTHER WEEK. Not sure what sort of feedback to leave the seller however, as my fury may subside. but, probably not.
Tallest, the fact that it's missing missiles alone (despite the "100% complete") tag is enough to warrant Negative Feedback, IMO.

Generation 1 Autobot Motorvator Lightspeed - courtesy of eBay UK. :D
Also, making his mascot debut, Pop-Megatron! :p:D

The forum shirts are absolutely awesome! (see here).
The FansProject Bruticus Maximus upgrade kits I've been waiting on for 3 months now and I must say, it was so worth the wait! :D, an awesome, awesome pair of figures totally worth picking up for them alone but they shine best as parts of Bruticus, of which I'll be posting further pics here.
Searchlight is a much sort after addition to my small Throttlebot army and Lightspeed's Chassis is to replace a less complete one that I previously had which was missing it's canopy but had Lightspeed (The Pilot). This new Lightspeed Chassis is in far, far better condition and leaves only his weapon needed for completion! :D:D
Now to try and chase up a G1 Fasttrack and Scorponok Double Barrel Cannon that has so far taken a month to come from England, of to my local AusPost outlet... I'm fearing the worst. :(
I left Neutral feedback because the seller did respond to my e-mails and was apologetic for the lateness of the delivery so IMO warranted a bit of mercy. Of course I should have checked if the lights worked before hand, they don't. There was a battery left in there from probably when it was bought.:mad: Never buying second hand off ebay again. Lucky there's decent guys who sell second hand TFs here.
Movie Deluxes Wreckage, Protoform SS, Protoform OP and Salvage thanks to AUTOCON!!
Oh yeah, yesterday I picked up ANIMATED LEADER MEGATRON and Universe Voyager Inferno from JAISUN!!!
MP Ghost Starscream
http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t...7/100_2482.jpg
Had to do a little paint toutch up on his eyes to fix them up, and his waist is a little loose but other than that hes pritty cool :D
Animated Wreck-Gar arrived from Hong Kong(Where there seems to be a surplus of Wreck-Gars, I got mine at a very reasonable price) Today. Despite being a Shellformer He's a really neat toy, very poseable and the face has all the personality of the TV show. and for some reason the Garbage truck is fun too. I'm a weird kid. (at heart.)
okaaay these are Tf themed, but Im pretty sure they're not official:o but yeah I did post an earlier Acqui like this before - just got them from the postie
my unofficial G1 Tf themed cups. now I only need the three other designs to collect to have the full set.:D

Wish there was an asian store somewhere in Market city that imports these products , Id certainly buy em. They also use the same designs for shirts, looks awesome.
Those are freaking awesome! The Devastator one is my favorite.
Cheers, me too hehehe.... Im asking Icy actually to help me purchase more from the chinese site itself , these would make lovely gifts as they're individually packed in their own box sandwiched between two styrofoams molds so very secure and safe in transport...Quote:

Case of 15 Animated Microbots (there's 6 in the set so I have 9 spares)
Case of 100 Animated Kira Kira trading cards
Don't suppose you'd be interested in parting with a set of said spares perchance? :DQuote:

and now tomorrow calls for a trip to lincraft so i can make a replacement cape for the *terribly* done one in the coronation set..
Botcon Thunderclash arrived today
I had paid for him last month but the Ebay seller forgot to send it before he went on holidays, so it sat in the boot of his car for a couple of weeks :rolleyes:
That's fairly gracious of you actually TB, I myself wouldn't of been so forgiving. ;)Quote:

I took the cheaper route and went for the Hasbro Reissue. :p
Apart from eBay, TFSource was the first place I'd ever bought from online so I can understand your excitement Jaina as it wasn't too long ago for me either. :DQuote:

Unfortunately I didn't get a full spare set. :(Quote:

I gave him neutral feedback becuase I don't believe he set out to rip me off, He just isn't a TF Collector.Quote:

Recieved Fansproject X Fire Munitioner and Explorer, incredable up grade kits!

Picked up attacktix Omega Sentinel today for the princely sun of 99 cents!
Pic from tfwiki:
http://tfwiki.net/w2/images2/f/f0/At...gaSentinel.jpg
I've been looking for this bad boy for quite a while. It came without the four missiles but luckily Omnicon/decepticlone/minicon missiles fit it. Love the machine gun firing action. It has only 4 tix of movement compared to Omega Supreme's 8-10 (can't remember the number), but at least this one has ranged attack. When we've played Omega Supreme always gets wiped out early. He's a big target that everyone goes for.
My kids are clamoring for an attacktix brawl now.
And I'm tempted to repaint Omega Sentinel into G1 Omega Supreme.
