Not as yet on special mate... but they're fairly limited too, my local Big W only has a couple left - so you might want to bite the bullet and pay full price.

Thanks mate, yeah Zippo was nice enough to sell me his (spare?) one for a 'decent' price.

It doesn't pop up for sale very often - there's only one listed on eBay atm.

Having said that though, it's not everyone's cup of tea since it's a lot of money to pay for something that's Scout-sized (albeit it's partially die-cast with loads of articulation and included accessories) - I got it for the sheer novelty/collector value. :p

Exchange rate too crap between AU and NZ to consider paying full price. Maybe if they are still around Melb in 2 months when I am there I will bite.

And this was my only Hybrid Galaxy Convoy. Opened G1 version first and was disapointed.

Well you would be glad to know that he's been wrapped up in plastic and will remain MISB :D

Finally found and bought Genderations Thunderwing today.
And picked up from the post office at the same time - SDCC Mighty Muggs Prowl (completes the collection), IDWs TFs Nefarious TPB, Devils Due TFs Vs GIJoe Vol 3 & 4 (never managed to find, buy and read them yet), and Classic GIJoe Vol 6,7,8,10 (Vol 9 is still in transit, but was able to catch up all in one hit).

I'm really amazed at how the Classic GIJoe comics are selling out so quickly, and going up in price at remaining sources. IDW must have really underestimated the demand on them, based on their sales of Vol 1-5 (which had less demand due to already being released by Marvel 7 years before IDW's printing). Very addictive though, as I was just wanting a quick flick through Vol 10 and ended up reading half of it.

From my contact in Japan - I got a United Megatron (since I am not a box person, I get him to ship without the box to save postage!) and 2 sets of the Japanese Targetmasters - although I have to trade a haywire back since my contact was unable to fulfil all orders. I dont really want to but I am getting 2 United figures for it and he thinks he can get me Minerva/Minelba - my final holy grail - so worthwhile helping him out.

Also got a classics Darkwing to finish my dreadwind/darkwing display

Just received my copy of Classic Transformers Volume 2 from eBay.
Very happy as I've been trying to get this for the last couple of months but couldn't find it for a reasonable price (cheapest second hand copy on Amazon is nearly $150, New is a whopping $900.99 :eek:) but I managed to get it for $30 with free shipping. :D

Are you being sarcastic? :p

Nah seriously, I've noticed the quality of the older Classic releases to be better than the later Universe/Generations releases.

Wreck-gar was surprisingly easy to transform as well, where as Prime and perceptor were fairly fiddly

I haven't even opened those two yet... still playing around with Perceptor right now - he's awesome! :D

But yeah I do agree that he's quite fiddly (legs, backpack and shoulders required a bit of adjusting) :o

You know I ain't being sarcastic :) Both figures feel strong and sturdy and have firm joints.

That much for incomplete figures? Tell him he's dreaming :p I'd pay that much if they were complete, and in good nic.

I think these figure in good nick will cost a lot more than, as people who have them know. They are also incredibly difficult to track down (ie non yellowed GS n minelba). GS MIB in good condition can cost approx $500-600AUD, minelba MIB approx $1200-1500AUD, carb MIB, maybe appro $120AUD....

Picked up Generations Cliffjumper and Skullgrin :)

I like the look of Cliffjumper's head sculpt, he's finally given justice instead of the typical Bumblebee repainted head :)

Havn't had the chance to open up Skullgrin yet, so have yet to judge how this version of the Darkmount mold turns out.
