Finally managed to find Legends G1 Beachcomber at Coles today during my lunchbreak
Got the Robotmasters Richochet & Predaking pack....
Is that the first sighting of this wave?
This arrived today and its a bit of a mini grail for me:

Finally got Catilla and I got him at half his typical ebay cost! So two for the price of one, making Chainclaw a bit of a bonus. yay! :D
This completes my Pretender Beasts which I see as a bit of a precursor to BW beast modes. Unlike other Pretenders these guys transform into a robotic version of their shells. Beast Wars refines the concept by making the shell break up and attached as a sort of armor around the robot mode instead of being a shell but it is still very similar as if you remove the 'skin' off a Beast Wars alt mode, you end up with a robotic animal as seen by the exposed metal when they take damage in the cartoon.
CATILLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so jealous!
Excellent toys Kup. Great score. Are they sealed and if they are will you open them?
New arrival today,Alternity Optimus Prime/Convoy....

They are totally awesome! I am super jealous. Congrats on completing your Pretender Beasts line, I can only wish.Quote:

I think TheDirtyDigger is right - I think you mean you meant to say Robot Heroes (specifically Robot Heroes Ricochet vs Predaking) as opposed to Robot Masters which is an entirely different line. :)
And the point of your post was what exactly Gok? I said i mixed the name up...
Uncle Pete's had them a little while back (they tend to get things pretty early and then nothing for a while), so yours may be the first mainstream sighting.Quote:

I've also got a loose Vehicle Voltron as well, so I have two of him. :p
Hey guys, don't forget there's a thread for non-Transformers acquisitions here. :)
Anyway, I scored a free giant TF poster from Jayjay's today and I caved in and got RotF Preview Bumblebee which is five flavours of crap.

And I also found a place to keep my new 1.2mx2.1m poster! ;)

So who'd you have to sweet talk/annoy till they caved to get the poster Gok? :p
Usually the JayJays staff take your number to get rid of you then just throw the things out!
I was going to look at the name and phone number of who has claimed the poster at my local Jayjays. Go in on the weekend when junior staff are on and say, "Hi I'm 'so and so'. The manager called me to come and collect my Tf poster."Quote:

Because it's in front of the blinds With wall posters I stick blu-tac and other adhesives all around the edges and even in certain points along the centre on the back. But with window hangings I can only attach it from the top and I don't feel like drilling holes in my ceiling to attach hooks. All my other walls are covered with shelves and other posters so yeah, it was the most uncluttered available wall space I could find!
2/ Unlike the other hangings I have, this poster is also really thick so it doesn't let any light in - which is a good thing, but can also be a bad thing because sometimes when I'm in the room during the day time I do like to open the blind and let some light in. I also open the window to let some air in which helps keep dust down. On really windy days my Dinobots hanging waves about quite crazily - but with a really solid poster like that I'm afraid that a strong wind would just rip if off sending it crashing down and, in the right direction, possibly taking some toys down along the way.
I personally really like the look of it as "wallpaper" :)
As for the sun-fading protection issue, I have an Optimus Prime towel somewhere... I guess I'm gonna have to whip that out and use it as a drape. Either that or get some fabric and iron on some TF images to it.
Picked up the Empire Magazine featuring TF2 - ROTF. Man it's freakin $9 and only had like 3-4 pages worth of TF2 information. Ah well, the things we buy for being a TF fan... :rolleyes: And animated Wreck-gar promoting the mag.

Nothing too fancy - an Animated Ultra Magnus from Target. I looked at a few because of the patchy paint on their chest, before deciding on one. However in my rush to get out of the store I didn't notice one of his antenna had been snapped off somehow. Too lazy to take it back now too. Oh well, "battle damage" it is. :D
@Gok i want to know how much of a pain it was to put that poster there and how long it would of taken to move all the toys out the way first? :P

Assuming we're only listing Transfrming collectibles.
Haha, it wasn't easy - but I had help from my wife. I removed some of the toys from the back rows that were in close contact to the wall and then I got the wife to stand behind me helping to hold the poster, then I "fed" it through into the gap between the shelves and the wall. It worked surprisingly well with only 3 toys knocked over.Quote:
