I believe they're still available at Knox. Not so sure about the joint near my place though. Haven't been there for a week or two.Quote:

Seems odd to get a TFC AFA graded since the booklet idea is ruined that way. Just for curiosity's sake, how much was it? Secondly are you going to bust it out or leave it?Quote:

A lovely Black Convoy with a dodgy paint app on the bonnet of the truck (was advertised as "brand new in box" although had been opened and re-sealed, should I bother doing anything?). now I have all colours of that mold!:D
Air attack Optimus for the whooshy flying noises! Now I have a BM that looks like the cartoon one!
Two Heinlads. One to use and one to stay boxy goodness.
Henkei Megs, the gray beats the pants off of Nerf Megs!
2 Tigerhawks with no English on the box... One for me and one for another...;)
ALternators Rodimus Prime.
Bumperbattler Ratchet, only 1 point of articulation, but when you have such a great voice clips who cares? Man I love cranky Ratchet!
SDCC Nemesis Prime, I have finally broken my curse of three! I have never gotten more than three of the same mold, until now! Classics Optimus, Magnus, Evil Optimus and SDCC Nemesis! WHooooooooot!
$110US + postageQuote:

Animated Optimus Prime Activator arrived from RobotKingdom.
The spring loaded mechanism seems a bit hit and miss, sometimes everything just pops into place fine, other times it feels a bit flimsy... :confused:
I got Movie Longarm today. Initially I was going to get Blackarachnia, but I figured that the Animated toys would be around for quite a while yet, and the Movie toys would not. Plus the Autobot forces in my room are seriously outnumbered.
Nice. Is he all in one piece? There were some quality control problems with him :(Quote:

Don't forget to introduce yourself at http://www.otca.com.au/boards/forumdisplay.php?f=3
1AZRAEL1, haven't heard/seen from you for a while. Good to see you back.
BTW, you wouldn't have any method of contacting Wickster? If so, read this and get in contact with Gok :)
Yesterday picked up a Clench from the Malvern Fair for $10 (the guys that got there earlier all walked this random Euro Transformer :p )
This morning received from Robot Kingdom: UniverseOctaneTankor, and Animated Lugnutz, Jazz,SlagSnarl, Oilslick and Soundwave.
From fellow Ozformers down at Perth:
llamatron
Beast Machines (Deployers) Rav, Mol and Dillo
Beast Machines Geckobot
Universe Stockade
Kyle
Revoltech Optimus Prime
Revoltech Ultra Magnus
Revoltech Megatron
Revoltech Hot Rod
Revoltech Starscream
Transparent Bumblebee Legend
Sorry..too tired to take pics today. It will be updated in my database in a couple of day's time.
Got Leader Class Animated Megatron today. It has a red tip on the cannon barrel despite the fact that it's a helicopter. :/ Lameness extreme.
Yeah, WB azrael! :D

- Wildride - can't remember which line he's from but he's a great toy
- Cybertron Brushguard
- Cybertron Wreckloose
- Universe Obsidian (i love the mold)
- Cybertron Repugnus
A fair bit of custom fodder in here. I realised earlier tonight that I have at least 35 figures not in my database just lying around waiting to be customised. :eek:
That's X-Brawn, not Wildride. Wildride is the (IMO vastly superior) Takara version. :)Quote:

Considering how rare and expensive these are, they were becoming a bit of a grail for me. They were released during Generation 2, as a US Store exclusive (Kaybee Toys I believe), so very few exist, and even fewer in packaging.
I got these loose though, which still go for $300-600 on ebay, or about $100 each when sold individually.
The seller was very nice to make an exception and send them out of America, despite preferring not to (I begged before bidding, but could have got them posted to someone in America if necessary).
http://www.otca.com.au/g2c1.jpg
All complete and in almost perfect condition (they are so rare and expensive, I was not going to buy anything incomplete or damaged and later have to buy duplicates to complete it).
http://www.otca.com.au/g2c2.jpg
That'd probably be the only time I'll have them combined, after I put them on display in their individual robot modes. I don't like to 'play' (convert or combine) the rarer figures, in case they break.
For the rest of their lives, they'll probably be looking like this on my shelving:
http://www.otca.com.au/g2c3.jpg
But before they do, the other G1/1.5/2 Constructicons want to give them a proper 'Decepticon' welcome to the collection... :p
http://www.otca.com.au/g2c4.jpg
(left is Gen1, middle is orange G2, top right Euro 'G1.5', bottom right is yellow G2)
The goal I made at the start of this year to complete my G2 collection by years end is almost a certainty now with some fairly common recolours left. :)
If only Hasbro and Takara stopped releasing so much stuff this year, I'd be able to afford the older lumps of plastic more easily... :D
Oooooh! :)
They look as though someone has attacked 'em with fluoro highlighters... :D
I'm guessing you couldn't hold off 'til the end of the month... ;)
Nah, june was the last month I did an end of month posting. It's just easier this way, and looks a little less boasting from my end as well. Hopefully. :)
griff...you just couldn't resist could you...*haha*
Griff they look awesome IMO. I like the look of them combined more than individually.
Well done anyway. Can we ask what the total on them was?
The G1 yellow ones (lower right corner of photo) can't combine.
I figured that out after I got them when I was a kid, NOT HAPPY!Quote:

Once you have jetfire, don't even bother with the rest, they'll never compare.
This arrived today: MIB Metalhawk complete with instructions and brochures

Since they weren't released in Australia, your chances of finding them at a collectables fair here is pretty slim.Quote:

Yeah, I did a group order with Robot Kingdom Thursday night. It was upgraded to EMS at no charge and arrived Monday morning. Unreal!
Its good when online shops do things like that, especially international ones. The little extras like quick postage and such makes you buy from them again and again.
:)Your box is in better shape than the one I just got, what was the damage for it and don't tell me a cheaper than what I paid otherwise I'll cry:o.Quote:
