finally a look at the back, still ain't pretty but that's how I did it.
its not a perfect solution to the arms just sticking out willy-nilly but I think it improves Safeguard, this is how I'll display him. No amount of creative thinking could save the jet mode...
Thanks GH, I think I'll do the same once I finally buy one.
OMG OMG OMG OMG I NEED THESE.Quote:

[edit]
here's an update of what i've received/bought yesterday:
http://images.icebu12n.multiply.com/...nmid=199527311
Henkei Cheetas (Cheetor) - All thanks to Juzmel's boyfriend who got it in Singapore
http://images.icebu12n.multiply.com/...nmid=199527311
My Universe fodders from Myer Buy 2 get 1 Free yesterday. I've actually opened Silverstreak. Don't like the transformation process but still a cool figure to have. I'll prob trade the Prowl i'm getting from BBTS.
Iceburn is right. They only lend DVDs to watch - just an online DVD renting company. Sorry I didn't mention.:o I'm not quite sure if it is really an acquisition but since I paid for it I thought it could qualify.:confused: I discovered quickflix when I got an invitation from ticketek to try their one-month free trial after I bought AO tickets. When I finish these two series then I'd probably stop my subscription afterwards. :)
I learnt about Quickflix and other DVD rental companies while doing an Uni assignment awhile back. I went ahead with BigPond instead for my review.
Awesome work on the backpack, Gutsman! I'll try that tonight when I get back. Looks very neat.
Finally got Animated Activators Optimus Prime from Big W (cheaper)
My lot today
Henkei thanks to Fungal, Shockwave thanks to Stencilator and Trunks.

Good to see those of you I caught at the Parramatta fair today. My haul consisted of six Transformers. Two Classics two-packs (Magnus and Skywarp/Jetfire and Grimlock – yes, I couldn’t resist the pop-up packaging!), also Universe Ironhide and Voyager Movie Prime (thanks to Gamblor for the latter two. Thanks particularly for the instructions to Rubik’s Cube Ironhide. :))
I was chatting to the guy I bought the two-packs from – before the fair started he bought a Predaking reissue for $170, which I know some of you could theoretically be jealous of, but I think the Predaking toys were loose in box – I presume it was complete, but can't be sure. Sadly, he also showed me the "boxed Swoop" he bought for $90 – I didn’t have the heart to tell him that I had concerns about the authenticity of his Swoop. I can’t believe people sell bootlegs as originals – it makes me mad.)
Sky Shadow, we have a seller here at the fairs that sell KOs too when the "fair regulations" states otherwise

Acquisitions for today: Aquafend, missile for Tracks (courtesy of Sky Shadow), head-gun for Devastator, rifle for Sandstorm, Universe Legends Megatron (got it for $3 at the Parramatta Fair!), Computron gun (courtesy of iceburn) and current issue of ToyFare magazine with an article on TF2 toys.
Hey how much was MP Thundercracker?Quote:

liegeprime-the 'mutant fish dude' is BW Poison Bite, one of the Mutants. Since he's a Mutant, he has no robot mode, but two beast modes-a barracuda and a scorpion.
WST Dark Retribution Dinobots x3!!!!
:)
bro, 1 for me right :P *haha*Quote:

Silverdragon - thanks, not much of a beast wars enthusiast so i didnt know his name, its alt modes were rather interesting and creative. Plus he was sold really affordably priced by Skyshadow, and I saw it sold as well at the Sheriffs stall for double that price, so I immediately got it. Its really neat shame he didn't have more....
Lovely haul there, Leige! Those G2 toys make me very green! :p
So envious of all the acquis the fans from other States are getting. It's been pretty dry for almost 2 months on the local retail shelves getting new TFs. :(
Anyway Henkei goodness that the darling boyfriend brought back from Singapore. I would have asked him to get more, but he only spent a short period of time and I also had a hard time understanding what he tried to explain on the TFs he saw on the shelves.

* Henkei Cheetor already picked up by Icy.
And MP Roller and SC Kit fitted on extra Nemesis Prime thanks to Kyle! (And I haven't even paid yet! :p :o )
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r...ers/Tfn-79.jpg
Nice acquisitions mel. The henkei's cheap in Singapore?
Such strong bright primary colours: purple, red, yellow and green... Why am I suddenly thinking about Rainbow Brite? :DQuote:

- EX-02 Arcee/Paradron
- Insecticon (spare to turn into Classics Bombshell)
Did you get the idea to turn Energon Insecticon into Bombshell after I just happened to mention it the other day?
And why do you get Megatron cut out? I want it, I want it now
Geez, Daffodil, already trying to score the credit. Some people. Nah, I've been looking for one for awhile for cheap but couldn't pass this lot as a whole. The seller had some other Jap items but hopefully they'll be still available in a week or two.Quote:

Hound and Cyclonous were S$32 each. The others were S$28 each. Henkei Deluxes at normal retail are S$29.95 and MP Thundercracker is S$135. Based on current exchange rate. SGD and AUD are almost on par if not different by just 2-3 cents.
In short, Hasbro stuff like Animated and Universe, there's no difference if not more expensive when bought in Singapore. But Takara stuff is certainly much cheaper as you can find them at normal retail.
Haul today!
SE Overkill
Universe Cyclonus
Universe Smokscreen
Universe Cheetor
Universe Dinobot
Oh man. So good.
In storage, but not for sale unless someone is stupid and whats to pay me lots and lots of cash.Quote:
