Not too sure about the monstructor bots, I already have a graded scowl, I got this one because it was unpunched, but I highly doubt it will come close to the grade of my current one, something will have to give, unpunch vs lower grade. Slog was an epic fail.
Not bad eh! They may be small but they're definitely not lacking any detail. I just added the extra missile launchers for Slag and Snarl in robot mode so they look even cooler now, hehe.Quote:

1. Swoop comes packaged in his Pteranodon mode - when transforming him into robot mode, be aware that you will need a small philips head screwdriver to losen the 4 screws in his back before you try to pull his chest outwards (it's initially far too tight and you'll break your nails trying if you don't do this!)
2. Be very, very careful when sliding Grimlocks 'robot' head. I must have used a bit too much force and broke mine clean off! This is not to say the toys aren't well made, overall they are extremely solid and the plastic feels good (there's diecast too!)
3. Grimlock's robot waist stickers are going to get smooshed when you transform him back into his T-Rex mode. Luckily the Justitoys waist stickers are identical to the Repro's so you've got a good backup set but it's a bit annoying seeing as Sludge is similarly designed in this area but doesn't have a problem.
All in all though I highly recommend them, they are worth every brass razoo and with some of them like Swoop and Grimlock you even have the option to go with 'anime accurate' stickers (I decided not to, although I'll prolly get another Grimlock down the track, hehe). Let me know if you want more detailed/varied shots. :)
hey jgon, I think the dude who runs reprolabels is looking for a good scan of the sticker sheet for Calcar. :)
This month I've got another MP Megatron, along with Henkei Ratchet and Classics Hound/Ravage and Galvatron!
Man... the staff at Jayjays just keep throwing more freebies at me! :D

Lucky you Gok, I left my name at one of the Jay Jays as well, and they probably just take it for fun and I wouldn't even get a call to pick it up. :(
Nice WST Dinotbots DoubleDealer... :)
Got these few stuff last weekend (with thanks to Bro the delivery man :D):
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r.../Tfn-104-1.jpg
Also picked up Devvy from Kmart layby. Haven't had a chance to play with it yet but apparently there's mix feelings about it...
I didn't leave my name nor did I even ask for any of this stuff! The store managers actually hold back this stuff for me because they know I visit their shops a lot! I just walk into Jayjays and the managers are like, "Hey, we got something for you!" A manager at one store told me that they talk about me during their staff meetings, and she's told her staff to hold back any Transformer display stuff for me and that if anyone else asks for them then the answer is automatically no. I _never_ asked them to do any of this, two managers from two different Jayjays just decided to reserve all their Transformer displays for me by default! :DQuote:

Was bummed that 3 other Movie toys didn't get here before my trip down to Sydney tomorrow (Hoist, Mixmaster & Bludgeon). At least they should be here before the Brisbane meet next weekend. Hopefully.
Pics to come later.
Any chance of a pic of the Anklyosaur, Griffin? That was always my favourite dinosaur as a young whipper snapper. :)Quote:

That's freakin' AWESOME!! :D <high-five>
Picked up Rotf Autobot Gears...such a nice mode and finally a Transformer that has movable fingers..if they can do it on such a simple mold why cant they do it on all.:mad::mad::mad:
Isn't Gears just a repaint of Stockade? As for opposable fingers, they're nice, but not without their limitations. First of all it would mean more moving parts which would make it more costly (remember that Hasbro budgets every last drop of paint!). Stockade may have opposable digits, but he doesn't have any accessories/weapons. And speaking of which, I find that to be the greatest weakness of Transformers with movable fingers -- they don't have "kung fu grip." i.e.: none of them can hold onto a weapon adequately enough and they tend to drop their weapons when you play with them. One way to compensate for this is to use a peg-hole like they do with Binaltech/Alternators... but I find that this system still doesn't provide a grip as strong as a solid hand. It's a moot issue with Stockade since he doesn't come with any accessories to hold, but I can understand why HasTak wouldn't want to do this with every Transformer toy.
I dont know if hes a repaint, I never saw Stockade so i dont know...I see your point about the movable fingers.I guess you cant have both moving fingers and accessories/weapons without making them more expensive to make.I still like it:):)Quote:

nah same mold, same with amourhide/blue truck 2 pack. as in all the molds from first movie go into this moive line up unchanged because enough time has passed between the lines sort of thing i believe

Well this is one of my driest fair ever! From the fair itself I got...
various accessory parts from Jaime
Machine Wars Hubcap
A slightly incomplete terrorcon
WST Red Alert

http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/b...ccessories.jpg
Finally got my hands on G3 Trailer, Gears of War, Aerial Appendage Kit
AM rumbler and AM partner Basher (inc), Arm Wheeljack with minicon partner
4 laminated mini poster prints thanks to Deceptic Optics
Well that's it. but then i knew that this one will be quite the slim pickings coz well.... not much Im looking for anyways just parts...
All good anyways except for the heat.... the after fair meetup was what I was looking forward to anyhow... got to see the Primus figure ( ty to Griffin) and Metalhawk (ty to dirge) and also ROTF Bludgeon (ty to Pulse) got to play with the toys Griffin got as well so all good
Found yesterday and bought the four new Animated Activators - Soundwave, Fireblast Grimlock, Armor Up Optimus, Battlefield Bumblebee.
Not really desperate for these, but being the only ones there, I grabbed them mostly to bring to the meet in case they were gone that next day (so the others could be sure of a play with them).
As such, dirge was more keen on Soundwave than I, so I've only got the redecos left, and will get another Soundwave later.
Also picked up a TFs ceramic mug at Target.
Gotta get a few more for a new set to match the ones I got from the First Movie. :)
Yeah as mentioned by some of the guys above, the Parra fair was rather dry acquisition wise.
Managed to pick up a MISB Cybertron Quickmix for $15 though, so that was okay I suppose.
Also got Movie Arcee (courtesy of mknell) and Cybertron Soundwave (courtesy of Lord Zed via Kup)
Picked up G1 Broadside today! Luckily I already had his gun and axe at home! :)
There wasn't anything at the Parramatta Fair that interested me, but I did pick up #1 of the ongoing series from Phantom Zone and scored a free poster from Deceptic Optic. :)
Well this is a fine monday for me hehehe.
Its a villains day!
Dragon Megsy needs new outer wings though, but at the price I got him he's fine!, AM Krok and TM partner, Another Terrorcon Battle Ravage for the Unicron shelf army building and ... yes(!) the last deluxe insecticon has arrived, scratch one more to my G1 wishlist.:D:D
