Picked up universe Tankor and whacked Sunstreaker and Prowl on layby. I was going to save for the Japanese versions but with the $AU how it is i think ill just settle for the local stuff.
Finally my robotkingdom BTs turn up. Lucky I paid for these a while ago.
Henkei Sunstreaker thanks to Tetsuwan, and an almost perfect, complete Mirage.

My Nexus haul.. just the one for me (can't say the same about Roller and his 30-odd junkers!). It's a special one though! HUGE thanks to Kyle as always!

I'm so busy today, i haven't opened it yet or else i know i will get nothing done! But I saw the final version at Kyle's stand, and i'm certain there won't be any disappointments amongst those who preordered. Kyle was also very apologetic that people who preordered haven't received theirs yet, though he's asked me to tell everyone, they should start arriving early next week!
Ooooh it has begun to arrive, weeeeeee!!Quote:

Great steal there, Roller! Me jealous. Why is it Perth fairs > Melbourne fairs? :( :( :(
cos there's Kyle bringing in all the goodies
A near-mint $5 Transmetal Tarantulas (sans pizza cutter, unfortunately), and a pair of beat-up $5 Crosshairs toys which are in pretty terrible condition but might come in handy as first-time paintbash fodder, should I ever get around to learning how to repaint stuff (I have an orange and black - with optional tiger stripe - deco in mind) and repair loose components, rusted screws, and worn-out springs.
If I feel adventurous enough to move onto kitbashing, they also have the abdominal Targetmaster mounting hole that I could plug something into, and a crippling need for articulated hips, a waist, and elbows. Those last ones could be problematic with the placement of the front wheels - I might need a complete rebuild of the arms. And I think the rear wheels would tuck away better if they were attached to the lower legs rather than the upper. And that red chestpiece would look a bit less potbellied if it did a 180 like G1 Getaway's chest...
Oh, and Roller - to transform a pickup truck with hollow bed into a ghetto blaster, do the following:
1) Using the horizontal hinge in the middle of the windshield, flip the top half of the cab up and forward 180 degrees until it's lying upside down on the hood of the truck with the back window of the cab roughly aligned with the front of the truck. The two cab slices should form a rectangular block sitting on the front half of the truck.
2) Using the horizontal hinge which runs from side to side through the truck at the back of the cab, at the level of the bottom of the cab windows, flip the bottom and attached top halves of the cab up and backwards 180 degrees so that the rectangular block formed in step 1 is lying comfortably inside the hollow truck bed and the entire truck now looks like a solid rectangular block on wheels.
3) Flip up the panels which form the sides of the truck, as well as the front grille and the back tailgate, 180 degrees and peg them in place, concealing most of the truck detailing.
4) Slide the front wheels forward and the back wheels backward, but stop before the tires extend beyond the front and back edges of the truck. Make sure that the truck has huge Hollywood hubcaps which look like fancy detailing covering the speaker grilles of boomboxes.
5) Flip the wheels 90 degrees down and under the truck, a bit like the DeLorean in Back to the Future Part II but with the wheels slid further under the truck and not sticking out to the sides.
6) Flip the truck up on its side so you can see the underside and the four wheels. The underside of the truck is detailed and textured to resemble the front of a boombox, with the wheels filling in for dual-cone speaker systems on either side.
7) Flip out stablising 'heelspurs' from under the ghetto blaster so it can stand without falling over. Optionally pull a handle out from the top of the ghetto blaster.
8) To convert to robot mode, transform back to truck and then apply a transformation similar to Movie Longarm's... or pretty much any truck Transformer, given that the third mode is just a matter of unfolding the cab, flipping some panels and moving the wheels a little and as such shouldn't interfere with most other transformation schemes.

I'm not the biggest fan of Animated packaging... typical of Hasbro TF packaging they're mostly full of air and a waste of space. I cut out the cartoon piccies and throw the rest of the boxes and cards away (in the recycle bin of course ;)).
Oh yeah, I got Spotlight: Sideswipe today, the final part of the Revelations arc. I got the 昇龍拳 (SHOURYUUKEN!) cover. :D
