IMO reissue Predaking's better than the original. Reasons include...
1) Die-cast metal -- the vast majority of G1 Preds are plastic. The metal variants are harder to find than hen's teeth.
2) Way cheaper; you're getting a complete set of MISB metal G1 Predacons that retailed for AU$170 -- I don't know how much this set is going for now, but I'd wager it'd still cost way less than what you'd pay for a complete set of MISB metal original G1 Preds. There's a complete loose G1 Predaking on eBay here with a Buy It Now price of US$325! (so just $15 shy of being double the cost of the MISB reissue's RRP) :eek: -- and the auction doesn't seem to mention if it's plastic or metal, but odds are it's plastic.
Most reissues are pretty good quality -- some recent ones (e.g. Bruticus, Devastator) have been the exception to the norm, but I have the Predaking reissue myself - and I've compared it with an original G1 IRL side by side, and the reissue is just bloody fantastic. Probably not worth getting if you already have the original, but a damn fine and more affordable substitute if you don't! :D
Yeah, seems better. Ebay hates on reissues so much! They say: Oh, they're terrible, terrible, cheap figures. Stay away. WTF!? Maybe they're getting 'em confused with KOs? :confused:Quote:

Picked up TF Prime Optimus Maximus. It's a good way to display my Cyberverse prime toys but...It's not that great. certainly not a fifty dollar toy at all. Also it's a shame there's not a 'Con version based on Scorponok or Trypticon.
That's what she said :-DQuote:

Okay I'll try to get a pic or 2 up tonight. I've only opened not-Ironhide so far. Stupid work makes me leave my new toys at home where I can't play with them! I guess I need to pay for them somehow though.
Picked up TF Prime Vehicon and Rumble yesterday through a private supplier.
Also got a voyager Megatron for my son who's been busssting to spend his money on it.
Bloody work always gets in the way of TF time ha haQuote:

Have been pretty quiet on the acquisitions. I got some of the new Kre-O sets from BBTS and a box of the singles.
KRE-O Destruction Site Set
KRE-O Rotor Rage Set
KRE-O Street Showdown Set
KRE-O Battle For Energon Set
KRE-O Stealth Bumblebee Set
KRE-O Battle Pack - Cycle Chase
KRE-O Battle Pack - Decepticon Ambush
The knockout kreon is missing a hand so seeing if I can get a replacement
Will sort out the singles from the box of blind packed so likely to have some spares for sale later.
Also from ebay, picked up 2 sets of the Asia exclusive Springer, Wheelie, Cliffjumper and Swerve.
Also I picked up another FORT MAX!!!
its a kabaya though! :D
I bought a carton (which has 5) and finally put it together.
If anyone else bought a carton, and has a spare box no.2 (the cerebros one), please let me know as I wouldnt mind completing one in city mode.
I still dont understand why they made cartons of 5..... :confused:
*puts on tin foil hat*
Its a ploy..............like toys with cheap batteries that dont last long so you have to buy more of them :D:D
Found this guy at a swapmeet for a few bucks. I figured the helmet must be at least worth that. Perth people let me know if you want it, mainly purchased to stop it falling in to the hands of a child, this is a srs adult collectible scale replica of a double headed warrior.
Pic later, can't upload from phone? Spoilers: it's a pretender shell.
If its bludgeon's helmet I'll be keen on it : )
Nice work "Protector of the Shells":pQuote:

Picked up FOC Optimus and Shockwave earlier today from Melbourne CBD. Good toys, Optimus is small but detailed, Shockwave is just perfect tho. Might upload pics later.
My bbts shipment has been home for a while but only just got chance to go home today and check it out, got RID voyager dreadwing and AMW04 :D
What is that Devstator? He is awesome!Quote:

I need to find a paper bag to put on Ratchet's head. So ridiculous.

Because. The rest of my POL is pretty boring anyway. :9

I swear, it's actually stunning in person!
United Jazz number two, first one I've opened though. :B I can't work out how they fixed the shoulder thing?
And, finally this month - while it's going to be a long time before I have my display set up - I couldn't not post this:

Jazz, on a party set, is just so incredibly appropriate.
Thanks for putting up with my shocking photography. Peace!

@tinyJazz - That's a lot of Jazz stuff! Very sweet! :D
