Thanks to Llama I have another Snare and Talon, originally to repaint, but they are in too good condition!
Also got me an Ironfist from Llama, missing a forearm and gun, but it is another Roche Wrecker down, and I quite like the little guy.

Long Post:
Cant remember the last time I posted in any acquisitions, and I have bought alot of stuff since i started collecting.
But I just had to post about Masterpiece Grimlock. I just cant express how much excitement I have for this figure.
Got it from RK last week, and arrived today. I probably wont have a chance to really open and play around with it till probably the weekend, so Ive decided not to open it yet. This marks a point where I am not going to really buy more figures, until probably the FP protector armor. I am quite content with my collection at the moment- it is also my first masterpiece figure as well.
I bought it because since I got into collecting, ive wanted a g1 grimlock (but don't think that is happening soon) and I love the character from g1.
Furthermore, Ive been amassing my classics/henkei collection (my favorite line after g1), and even though I got henkei grimlock, the mould did not satisfy me. So when some people commented on MP grimlock being a perfect fit with classics figures, I just had to get it.
Ive wanted this figure for a while, and while Ive bought a few expensive items, I couldn't justify the price + shipping of the Takara one. And the wait was really painful- like Id have to watch a MP Grimlock youtube review every few days, but that just added fuel to the anticipation and I almost caved multiple times.
But thank heavens for Hasbro and RK and the fact I dont have to wait anymore. Finally it is sitting here now, and I cant even wait to open and play around, transform and pose this guy and place it with the rest of my classics autobots.
Im gonna need to get up collection pics soon.
Dayum, plenty of G1 goodies and then some being postedf here, those G1 beauts better have more shots posted in the G1 Acquisitions thread guys.... HD will be semi retiring soon so we need more input form other sources :D:D:p
Nah, it will just be a long distance relationship. Contrary to popular belief, they do work ;)Quote:

Sixknight is very nice and better than Quickswitch in terms of the colour. Galaxy Shuttle just blew me away. I didn't realise how large this guy is and how large and sturdy his box is.
Here's a quick and dirty shot...

Wooo, I got myself one of my small grails. No way does it compare to the previous few posts, but I am happy all the same.
Will post up pictures when I get home, if I don't pass out when I get there :p
Congratz to Paulbot, Hanprimus, llamatron and Heroic_Decetocon on such great toys!
Today I got Botcon 2010 Clench. I saw him going for fairly cheap on Ebay so I decided to get him.

Oh, should've been clearer, They're from ebay. I'm fairly certain they weren't released here. ...I've got no idea how I post pics.Quote:

Very tired. So many neat things. I'll post my thoughts in the various review threads, because I could go on for hours.

Hasbro G1 Reissue Decepticon Seacons aka Piranacon! :D:D:D

As I've never owned a Seacon before, these guys are really cool and I'm not terribly phased by the missing colour apps but love the chrome! :D as I feel that chrome really doesn't seem to work well on anything apart from G1 for some reason?, IMO.
Looking at Piranacon out of the package, you can see the advances, small as they are, in design of combiners coming through and he certainly seems to be quite a bulky gestalt, though probably because of kibble.
I did think he was big, until I sat him on my desk next to his boss... :p
ooooh chrome swoooooord!you should stand those two next to a Fort max Hursty then youll see how much a midget they are hehehe:D

Do you have any other 1980s VHS tapes as well?Quote:

Also, I think the cover of the one I have at home may be less damaged then the one you just got. I have no real interest in keeping the cassettes anyway so I can probably offer that one up as well if you are interested.Quote:

Transformers: Animated - The Arrival TPB x2
(one for me and one for a friend :))
I have some TF VHS tapes I don't want anymore including:Quote:

...and maybe some other stuff. But you can have them if you want. I'd appreciate trading them for something (doesn't have to be big, even some spare accessories or minor figures), cos except for BM and Headmasters, I purchased all those tapes - and with Headmasters I actually bought all the Beast Machines Dinobots and traded them with a fan in Japan (as those toys were never released by Takara). So I'd like some recompense, but I know that since all these series are readily available on DVD now they're not worth much, so I wouldn't expect a big trade for them either. :) LMK if you're interested.
Movie Wreckage and BW Razorbeast thanks to llamatron.:cool:
Cheers. Look forward to the photos. :)Quote:

That version of the Kit IMO suits the ROTF/Universe version of Superion the best. I thought the grey version was a little dull, while this one makes him look more like his G1 self again.Quote:
