So far so good.....its very fast but I am sort of wary about upgrading to ICS as I have seen some problems with wifi and gps signals after the upgrade. I might upgrade later on after the trip though.

Apart from that, its a fantastic little piece.

Does RID #1 count, seeing it was out this week?

Got the beautiful retailer incentive gatefold version too (along with the regular Prowl cover, and I should have the rest by next week). I'm thinking of ripping the cover off and displaying the gatefold, it looks that good.

It's an official Transformers product, so of course it counts in this "Transformers Acquisitions" topic.

I bought some of those Classic Stunticon reissues when they came out in 1990-91... I don't remember them ever being that cheap?!? (o_O) They must've been marked down.

United Thunderwing, Prime FE Vehicon and Starscream.
United Unicron isn't out yet, I already have the Rodimus Prime and Warpath molds (cheers Goki!), and even if the Odieverse didn't already have a Megatron United Megs looks a bit garish for my tastes.

Finally got the last Cyberverse figs Im after ... Sentinel Prime and Ironhide.
Im really enjoying this Cyberverse Ironhide figure it's got a complex transformation for such a tiny figure... they really have gone a long way in engineering the little dudes transformations from what it was from the first legions version ( which is G1ish in simplicity):D... Looking forward to more Cyberverse figures and Playsets!

Thanks to Verno I have TM2 TigerHawk and Cybershark.

I loved Cybershark when i was younger but during amove lost a few of his parts. Now he's complete again! And With Tigerhawk TM Airrazor can take to the skies with her long lost love and we can all pretend Beast Machines never happened.

Yeah. Some of those new figs have some serious engineering... I was trying to put some voyager movie figures back in their box the other day. Took some major concentration and instruction references .. maybe i'm just getting too old.

nah man, I too need to reference the instruction manual with sometimes what is graded as "2" on the transformation level.... :D sometimes manuals are just not that helpful though but more confusing hehehe

This one is embarassing.

I thought I was complete with Robot Heroes. I was going through them the other night with Arcee, and realised that I couldn't see Blaster or Thrust.

I don't know if I do own them, or somehow missed them?

So either way, I bought another set, which arrived today.

So now I have peace at mind.

Seriously. Once I noticed, it bugged the hell out of me.

...I thought u had them too...when did u make the purchase?? I was pretty sure I've seen a purple/red conehead among your cabinet crew...

.Just come back from a night out with HD walking the shops of Hong Kong. Man it has been an eye opener on how busy it is at night.

Went though the Mong Kok area as these are the better shops and plus its just down the road from my hotel. Been through many toy shops catering from the Anime/Manga to statues and finally some G1 goodness which was spread out.

I was lucky to pick up a few items such as a MISB Takara Armada Thundercracker from one shop then went down a floor to another one which I bought a PE-09 Ninja. Over to another district was some more smaller shops and HD spotted two MISB Return of Convoy MT-3 and MT-9.

Its amazing on how cheap some items are but other are really overpriced.

The MT-3 and MT-9 were really really good deals. So glad you got them.

Do you have Sharkticon and Snarl? Sharkticon was the only RH I was after. It made it difficult that Hasbro never saw fit to release him locally.

So you don't have any issues of the toes flipping in too easily or vehicle being too low (and thus the undercarriage scraps as the car rolls) during toy play?

Oh wow! :eek:
A massive congratulations here Liege, Iread how hard it is to get a hold of 1 complete Vroom in good nic; to be so close to having 2 mate is amazing, as is that Botcon Weirdwolf you've got dude as that is a figure I'd love to eventually add to my own Classicsverse collection someday. :D:cool:

How well does the mold sit alongside others from the Classicsverse dude?, does he stand out or fit in?

Very sweet acquisitions indeed Geiger, no small feat finding those figures in such amazing condition - I love the main Decepticon Headmasters trio from the Japanese cartoon of the same name; they all look deliciously crisp though dude! :D:cool:

Congrats Snakey. :cool:
Apart from the rather annoyingly hard to reach heads of the pair, iGear actually did rather well with them wouldn't you agree?
Glad to hear you've been able to get a hold of the Shockwave playset too dude, sounds like he's been a bit of a pain for you. ;):)

Extremely glad to hear they've arrived Kup. ;):cool:
Congratulations too man as that pair are quite awesome figures for differing reason; Powered Convoy for his history and Pyro for his rarity and fragility - Not to mention both have rather cool colour schemes! :D

A nice haul indeed Valkyrie! ;):)
Out of curiosity though dude, isn't Hasbro supposedly suing Asus over trademark infringement with regards to the terms 'Transformer' and 'Optimus' for obvious reasons? - I'd of thought there'd been an embargo or something?
Regardless, what do you think of it dude as I wouldn't mind getting one myself down the track?

That is an awesome shot Liege, you've likely made the TakTom engineers very proud should they see it dude - that's exactly how they envisioned that line/scale of figures been utilised! :D:cool:

Very glad to hear they've arrived safely in your hands TB! :D
Tigerhawk is 10 shades of awesome and Cybershark is really cool too IMO with his gnarly grin and head shooting gimmick, my own has a little issue with balance though - I think he needs slightly larger/longer heel spurs, what do you think?

Damn that's a long post and hefty haul. Nice.

FE stuff still isn't too hard to find over here, if my job allowed it I'd be buying them up and selling them on and maybe rubbing some of the more whiny Americans' noses in it.. As it is the contract says no.:(

Honestly, I gots no idea if Unicron is a high-demand figure or not. I'd have thought not what with the G1-y planet one they released not too far back but if you've got word on the ground/net otherwise I'd go with that over my flu-ridden ignorance.

some very very good grabbings (and Bargains) there yourself mr Hursty..

yeah the sunstreaker was a great pick up the rest is just a bonus.. qwickswitch does look like he should of been a headmaster the head and chest appear to ressemble this make up..

as for the collection it is scattered all over the place at the moment.. it isnt in any shape for pics. i had to put off the cabinets delivery as the front yard is quite dangerous for individuals carrying 2m glass cabinets. at least until i get the driveway concreted.....

so for the time being you will have to imagine lots of toys on shelves (instead of in boxes)

i cant wait to get them all out.

Honestly, I gots no idea if Unicron is a high-demand figure or not. I'd have thought not what with the G1-y planet one they released not too far back but if you've got word on the ground/net otherwise I'd go with that over my flu-ridden ignorance.

Same thing in HK, there is plenty of FE stock and the Hasbro stuff is going for about $130HKD while the Takara stuff is around $190HKD.

A massive congratulations here Liege, Iread how hard it is to get a hold of 1 complete Vroom in good nic; to be so close to having 2 mate is amazing, as is that Botcon Weirdwolf you've got dude as that is a figure I'd love to eventually add to my own Classicsverse collection someday. :D:cool:

How well does the mold sit alongside others from the Classicsverse dude?, does he stand out or fit in?

Yeah Vroom is kinda hard for some unknown reason to find nowadays... dunno exactly why is that since his batchmate Crossblades is easy to get ( and has more parts to loose) but yeah good thing HD, kup and me each finally found one for each :D. Well another one for me but im sure there's more out there, somewhere....

As for Weirdwolf, well, he fits right in surprisingly even though he is brightly yellow which makes him easy to spot, but the recolouring in G1 Weirdwolf's color prolly adds to how well it blends with the rest of the Generations/RTS/Classics figures ( even though as well the mold is from another line) since you kinda "expect that from him .. being weirdwolf I guess mentally I was pre tuned to expect it so he really doesnt stand out... for me, hehehe, if that makes any sense....

Ive yet to get a hold of Botcon Doublepunch as I really like the crazy color plus he was my first ( well only actually:p) Actionmaster elite figure so I kinda like to have the "updated" version even if it is a reuse of a mold from another line.

CONGRATS on X9 ravage man!!!:D:D:D:D
