My best deal so far on Ebay arrived today, a MISB RID Side Burn (blue version) for $3 (plus the postage from the US).
the browning looks lovely :)
Dirge, did you try taking pics on an angle to the safety display unit? the flash reflection is generated due to the mirror concept
All the acquisitions before and after my Malaysia/Singapore trip:

Does anyone have an extra copy of the Official Guide Vol. 02 or know where I can get it? I can't seem to find it on ebay. Also picked up my Voyager RR and TC from layby(Not pictured).

The Movie range I got from my trip back home and also Encore Megs (Not pictured, don't wanna risk it).
I got the movie Prime bubble bath yesterday for free from a work colleague. :D
Oooh, nice, Mel. New scouts and Stockade. Guess you won't have to worry about hitting the shops for a few waves now. lol The 2nd volume of the MTME book is very difficult to find. They're (both) highly sought after and in recent times have attracted some ridiculous prices ($45-65 USD each). I picked mine up way before the stock levels for this dwindled
Your best bet is to keep checking every so often but even then it's unlikely to come cheap. Most comic shops that hold inventory don't have them either b/c to fans they're literally bibles with awesome art of favourite G1 characters.
You can always chase down the individual issues of the MTME series which has a BWs twist. They don't come cheap either though. Probably $10 an issue.
Here's one; but I doubt anyone will be buying it now anytime soon.

IDW did promise a Hardcover reprint of all eight issues/two volumes of the MTMTE series but it's still hasn't appeared. I'm still planning to buy that when/if it comes out.
I think we can hope for a lot of TPB/HCs and books to hit in the next 12 months with the impending movie. And it makes me excited!Quote:

Here is my first salvo against Hasbro Australia - all imported from BBTS and I saved around $100 even with postage (and not counting all the petrol and frustration I saved):
- Robot Replicas: Optimus Prime, Frenzy, Jazz
- Voyagers: Evac, First Strike Optimus Prime, Offroad Ironhide, Incinerator
- Cyber Slammer Ironhide
- Scouts: Storm Surge, Crosshairs, Warparth
- Deluxe: Cliffjumper, Landmine, Overcast, Stockade
- Battle Scenes: Capture of Bumblebee, Desert Attack

Yeah I did. The acrylic reflects flash no matter what angle I try :(Quote:

Atleast you're only buying one of each TF, unlike Sami from NY http://s184.photobucket.com/albums/x41/SamiWCP/ who even picks up happy meal toys & rubbish like that.
Pulse, it ended up being TWO huge boxes! I stumbled my way back to the car peering around the side of them... :)
picked up spotlight optimus crime the BlackWhitecover for $10
:) Two G1 items I have been waiting for finally showed up in the mail today:D,
they were Targetmaster Quake complete and Pretender Submarauder complete:D. Just a litlle side note about people buying overseas instead of off the shops in Australia, I actually enjoy the hunt around trying to find that harder to get hold of TF. I get satisfaction and a mild sense of accomplishement when I finally do find that figure I've been looking for. I know it can be time consuming as well as petrol wasteing but if you were really worried about petrol you would pick up the phone and ring the shop instead. We could just be cutting our nose off to spite our face as the old saying goes, i don't think Hasbro would really notice a small group of collectors buying from overseas but say if it did make a slight impact and there was less demand for TF's, we would then get even less on the shelves and complain even more. I know we are over charged for our TF's but we must make an allowance for shipping, because of the smaller numbers of items being shipped here I would think there would be a higher amount to pay per item for making the trip to Australia. Maybe I should have posted this somewhere else:o. Almost forgot , my Cybertron DVD's showed up today in the mail as well, a big thank you to a certain person for those;).
*Cough*Quote:

Ermm not all I guess cause I only spotted Stockade and still have to wait around here for the other new deluxes and voyagers.. plus I couldn't get Evac cause of $$ and baggage constrictions..Quote:

9mini bots (^-^) V
I tried here but I think they might be closed on taking pre-orders. E-mail him. Though he is a bit slow to reply, Tober's vouched for him and he did apologise for replying so slowly.Quote:

Very nice on Sky High. He and Waverider are two of my favourites and I have neither. :(

I just picked up the Arcee Spotlight and the IDW Classics Transformers trade paperback.
The book reprints the first 16 issues of Marvel US G1 but leaves out issues 3 and 9 (because of copyright issues) and provides only a summary of those stories. The word Marvel is also blacked out on each cover reprint.
It is in full colour though not black and white as I expected. The quality of the reproduction is not as great as the Titan reprints, but it's nice to have 14 of the original 16 comics in one book.
Spotlight #2 TPB
Beast Wars The Ascending TPB
IDW Classic Transformers Vol 1
Spotlight: Arcee
Getting off my butt and taking some pictures...

Bugly and Skullgrin. They're both pretty neat. That's my 2nd Skullgrin too. I just like the monster vibe of him. There was that Marvel comic he featured in too so he's always figured in my mind.
Gotta dig up a few others for pics too. So tedious, isn't it, 1orion2many?
Just nabbed Movie Legends Ironhide/Desert Blackout from Toyworld!
:)
:(Painful is the word I'd use:eek:. Nice pics anyway STL.:)Quote:
