Did you manage to get the painted-head Starscream? Just curious to see if the unpainted one is still circulating.

Acquisitions so far in Japan, TF or otherwise:
Predaking - Transformers 2010 Reissue
Chromia - Galaxy Force
Rodimus - TF: Animated
Mic Sounders Jyusan Se - Yuushya-Oh GaoGaiGar
Kamen Rider Kuuga Rising Mighty - Figuarts
Kamen Rider Kuuga Pegasus Form - Figuarts
Kamen Rider Kiva Emperor Form - Figuarts

And today 01/01/2011
I got: Megatron Earth Mode - Transformers United
Ez Legends Jetfire - Transformers ROTF
TargetMicron TRU exclusive!!!!
For those asking why I got the Ez Legends, TRU is having the New Year Sale and Megs was like 2,797 yen. Below what I needed so no choice. Ah well.

Sorry put this in the wrong thread earlier so i moved to the correct thread. Picked up Skullgrin today and for a late chrissie present i got WFC Optimus, B/Bee, Megatron and Soundwave, Dirge, Blurr, Drift, Thrust, Darmount and Red Alert. Loving these Generations line.

I finally caved and bought Skullgrin and Thunderwing yesterday. Caved I mean spending money I don't really have. Saw WFC Cliff as well, nearly bought, but didn't have enough money.

I think I might be the first to see them at a store that wasn't a Toys R Us. The store (Toy Kingdom) had three Starscreams and all had painted heads.

Thanks man! I never thought I would get them, but never did try to gun for them in the first place because I just thought it would be too impossible to find a set in a condition that I'm happy with. Seriously, all the sets I've come across in the past 10 years of collecting have been in dismal and disappointing condition, box-wise. This was a really unexpected find for me, and I'm very happy about it! :D

Hehe :D about a week late, but here are the TF Christmas and Boxing Day pressies I got for myself:

2x Arcee Delicate Warriors
Japanese Galaxy Shuttle to go with my italian galaxy shuttle
Countdown so I can display one of the galaxy shuttles as launching
Go-Shooter - just need a minerva/minelba now!
Games of Deception Botcon - just need a Classics TRU Darkwind now!
2nd set of Boss Coffee PVCs - my contact sent me all his spares so I have a few extras.
Some random G1s to fill in gaps, Punch, Sandstorm, Springer, Broadside etc.

Pics will come as I am currently overseas and work this month was pretty busy. Although they will come next week in Jan.

Regards
Robert

Hope your enjoying being over seas and I, like others, look forward greatly to those future pics! :D

My pics of the main items I bought. The photo of the Boss Coffee transformers are spare.

I got the Blue Bacchus off a guy in Sydney who was selling a lot of his colection. I picked up a Grand Max, Jap Fort Max and will be picking up a Light Foot, Buster and Hydra off him as well.

Damn you are lucky. I bet you scored a bargain on them, suppose you just gotta know people.
