Thanks dude - they cost me a pretty penny, but seeing as I pretty much have no interest in DOTM toys, why not? :p

As for Cybertron Defence Scattorshot - I have a loose mint spare one which I may be willing to sell (PM me an offer if you're keen). ;)



Btw, call me a hater, but should there be a separate thread entitled "DOTM Acquisitions"?

Pretty much everything on here over the past few days (and most likely for the foreseeable future) is DOTM - should it not receive it's own "spoiler" thread? :p

I was wondering about that - we did propose a 'Movie First Sightings' thread in April, but unless I'm confused it doesn't seem to have happened, (possibly because we didn't anticipate the embargo being broken so early.)

That said, (like you, VP) I personally don't think that toy spoilers are particularly spoilerish. Firstly, just because a Transformer has a DOTM toy, it doesn't mean they're in the film, and even if they are in the film it's not much of a spoiler. (Gasp - some dude who turns into a car is in the film! Somebody call David Stratton!) The toys are out there in plain view, and unless people plan on not going shopping or walking through the toy section with their eyes shut for the next month and a half they're going to see them. (And surely most of the people who don't want to be spoiled are the same people who like the films enough to want to buy the toys anyway.)

There is actually 3 PE-11 there (I think you can only see two)
One for Azrael, Hursticon and myself :3

Guys, all the boxes have suffered a little bit of battering in the mail. Is that alright? :/

Man, I need to clean up haha.

I've no doubt that lot did dude and yeah, I'm kinda with you on the DOTM front, well, until another Soundwave figure is announced. :p

Hmm, let me work out my budget and I'll definitely PM you before the Parra Fair dude. ;)

Yeah, I don't think a separate thread is necessary because I too don't really consider Toys to be spoilers and I'm sure this has probably happened every time 1 of the movies has come out - DOTM acquisitions will fade away in not too long a time IMO. :cool:

Sweet as dude, I'm not bothered about the box being a little dinged up as I'd be more concerned about our figures :o - A huge thanks again for acquiring them KillingSpoon! :D:cool:
(I'm really glad you've been able to secure a set for yourself man, that was my own main hope ;))

Purchased from Big W Upper Mount Gravatt todat

1. Bumblebee Mobile Battle Bunker
2. Commander Class - Ironhide
3. Commander Class - Optimus Prime
4. Commander Class - Sentinel Prime
5. Commander Class - Megatron

I dont know if I will wait until Big W releases Series 2 of the Comanders or bite the bullet and buy them from Target for $20!

Hopefully Toyworld has the new DOTM Voyagers and I will get them for $40 each.

Picked up during my lunch break:

DOTM Human Alliance
Backfire with Spike

Finally a posable Hasbro Spike :)
I think the last one was the HOC version that came with Bumblebee :confused:

Bought the big guy today, Sentinel Prime. I took Gok's advice and went to Big W and was shocked to find all the Sentinel's and Ironhide's gone :eek: with poor BB shelf warming. I still picked up Ratchet and Starscream for a nice price. So over to Kmart I went and I paid a whopping $1 more ($89) for Sentinel.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...0110513_sm.jpg


FInally......

This week I have mostly been eating (in order of tastiness):

1. Takara TFA - TA47 Electrostatic Soundwave (the paint scheme on this little puppy elevates it to a ridiculously godly level)

...


2. Commander Class Sentinel Prime
3. Legion Class Crankcase
4. Commander Class Ironhide
5. Legion Class Screamer playset
6. Legion Class Bumblebee playset
7. Legion Class Topspin

Damn! You guys get some awesome stuff. So jealous! I'm only just starting my collection.

I know huh? :p
Don't worry TheHeretic, this particular forum has been the cause of many a keyboard being replaced due to excessive drool! :p:D

New day, new hunt, new haul:

- Voyager Shockwave
- Voyager Skyhammer
- Cyberverse Starscream Orbital Assault Carrier
- Cyberverse Bumblebee Mobile Battle Bunker

http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/k.../Image0395.jpg

I wasn't going to bother with too much Voyagers but after the brilliance of the wave 1 Voyagers I acquired the other day I went back and picked up Shockwave and Skyhammer.

Cyberverse line I'm in love with. So that's a compulsive buy.

http://www.otca.com.au/boards/attach...1&d=1305303568

Picked up DOTM Bumblebee, though I wasn't all that impressed by the paint applications at first the head sculpt, gauntlets and awesome mech tech weapon make up for it. I love the head, he looks very surprised, he's adorable :)

For anyone that wants a better depiction of the more loveable humane side of BB I'd recommend this little dood :)

These: http://catalogues.farmers.co.nz/Fabu...or_Card/265857

I've loved transformers ever since I was a kid (26 now) and I'm still mad and my 14yo self for selling almost all my original g1 toys. What a mistake. So now I've started collecting again and maybe I'll get bac all the old stuff I had one day... at a much more expensive rate I think, lol. I started by getting the sdcc blaster and soundwave exclusives as those are my favorites from childhood. Then I bought the whole generations line up. And few bits and piece I saw online like sdcc nemesis prime, a (gasp) high quality KO devy, masterpiece skywarp and starscream. So my question is what do I collect now? I'm not sure on the dotm toys. The leader class stuff looks okay but I'm undecided. I was super disappointed with my ROTF starscream so now I don't know. I thought about starting on Takara united but then I'm doubling up in 11 tf's. Thoughts? Sorry this might be in the wrong thread but you can forgive me because I'm new :-D

Oh and thought I'd mention I pre-ordered those seekers from igear last week. They aren't official but they look so good I couldn't help myself. They won't be in until July though :-(

Shockwave's out now?!? :eek: Sweet!

Awesomesauce - Stompy, if you get a chance to let us know what Skyhammer is like, I would be interested - he well and truly looks like one of the best of the line (and I like his Ultra Magnus-y head.)

OOOOOOH! Where did you find Shockwave and Skyhammer? I'm passing on wave one of the Voyagers as they really don't spark my interest but those two....WAAAAAAAANT!!!

A lil dinged is fine, the contents of the box is what I want :D

Tallestblue: I found them at a Toyworld here in Victoria. only seen them at this one particular Toyworld and nowhere else.

Sky Shadow: No problem. I'll prioritize a review ASAP of SkyHammer.

Target Highpoint & CBD have tonnes of wave 1 DotM's and also wave 2 of Cyberverse Commanders/Scout/Plus (Powerglide & Blackout)

Got me DOTM Powerglide today. Its small as!!:(:( hmmmm

Yeah, but still a darn awesome toy for its size! Arguably better value than Universe Powerglide (and unlike Hasbro's Universe Powerglide, he's red!). :)

Went looking for Leader Sentinal Prime and while I found some at RRP there were none left at the sale price. So I picked up some more small stuff. *and now waits for Wave 2 and Human Alliance*

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...2011Haul10.jpg

Bit the bullet and decided being a tight arse could lead to spending more fuel driving around and bought from Target Mt Gravatt

Commander Powerglide
Commander Blackout

They were $18 each, not as bad as $20 as initially thought.

I think Blackout is going to be my favourite Commander

Finally gotten around to this! :p:D

http://i1032.photobucket.com/albums/...-08-ACQ-02.jpg

http://i1032.photobucket.com/albums/...-08-ACQ-03.jpg

So I decided I'd try to get some dotm's or storage have a look at them... But to my astonishment (and horror) my local kmart has none. And I don't mean none as in no dotm, I mean no transformer toys from any line what so ever. WTF!

Went to Toyworld eastland.

There was literally hundreds of scout class reveal the shield. So I decided to search and search and search for Windcharger. Guess what... NONE!

But I purchased:

1 x Lugnut ($29)

Were you the one who called to have a set put aside? ;)

When I got there this morning, I found all the good stuff missing, figured one of us utilized Griff's tip-off. :p I started snooping around to find that they had a case of wave 3 deluxes and wave 2 voyagers still boxed on the top shelf opposite the main display. The awesome dude working happily pulled down the box so I could buy a Shockwave.

So today I scored a Voyager Shockwave and Megatron :D

Big thanks to Griff for the sighting!!!

Yeah it was me this morning ringing up.

Toyworld is generally really good with service. They hold stuff etc.

The only bummer was the dude working there was not willing to pricematch the Toyworld price of $70, probably cos $20 was way too much.

However, other Toyworld's are willing to do it so it was no loss no harm. Only thing he forgot to pricematch was the deluxes, so I got overcharged $6, but $40 for the Voyagers, you cant complain.

In my diecast model collecting experiences, I live by a mantra - 'You win some and you lose some. But if you still come in on top, you're laughing and that's my view.

My DOTM purchases over the weekend:

legion Sideswipe (love this little guy!)
commander Powerglide (check my avatar)
deluxe Roadbuster
voyager Megatron

Just picked up DOTM Deluxe
Bumblebee,
Autobot Skids,
Autobot Ratchet,
Starscream,
Crankcase,
Roadbuster.

I don't think there's a need for photos

Picked up today

1 x Sentinel Prime Leader for $70 from Toyworld :eek:

2 x Voyagers (Megatron and Ironhide)

1 x Deluxe Barricade

Just picked up Cyberverse Starscream Orbital Assault Carrier playset from Toyworld. Taking advantage of their current cheap prices
