This was at K-Mart West Lakes in SA, I don't know with other stores and states. I just walked in there today and saw it at bargain price and had to put it on Lay-By. They were also selling the Ultimate ROTF Bumblebees for less than $70.

It's actually quite an interesting and very detailed playset. I have been poking around at it today. I actually quite like this brick. :D

Congrats!.

He lives in NZ. Don't think there are issues there with replica firearms. :D

Just a further update from my post earlier today.

C-371: Grandus MIB, stickers unapplied.
http://inlinethumb20.webshots.com/44...500x500Q85.jpg

This guy has a lot of parts. I guess the easiest parts to misplace are the small yellow antennae
http://inlinethumb06.webshots.com/47...500x500Q85.jpg

I'm quite fond of the head-sculpt. All the little yellow radars spin when the lift inside him moves.

Random shot
http://inlinethumb62.webshots.com/46...600x600Q85.jpg

This I got a week or 2 back from KC99.
C-360: Sky Garry MIB, stickers unapplied (sealed paperworks packet)

Yep, I've already opened him up. Got him standing next to his two mates - Thrust and Ramjet, in my display cabinet.

I love the toy and my only gripe with it is the positioning of the wing under his arm - it makes it difficult to pose his arms because it kind of gets in the way.

I'll post some other pics soon when my Unicron arrives next week. Then I would have finished off packing both of my cabinets.

Sorry for the slow reply guys; spent the night with the wife and new baby so had no internet access. As you may have already guessed, he wasn't a local purchase so don't go crazy searching for him. I bought him off an online shop about 3 weeks ago. When / if you have the opportunity to pick him up, you won't be disappointed.

Yea the Gentai version is the same. But you just have to angle the wing a little bit for more poseability.

Man I hope my Unicron arrives next week as well. Would be awesome to play with him before I leave for Bathurst.

My acquisition today, albeit a small one, is a definite relief:

G1 Decepticon Fasttrack - courtesy of eBay
G1 Decepticon Scorponok Double Barrel Cannon - courtesy of eBay

http://i1032.photobucket.com/albums/...SEP23ACQ-1.jpg

I thought these had been lost in the mail as I paid for them over a month and a half ago and they were shipped the following day, took over a month to receive them though where I had won-paid-received other items during this period. :confused:

At any rate, my G1 Scorponok is a little bit more complete today. :D:D:D

Yeah, I ordered it when it was still under US$100. Shouldn't matter though, a pre-order is still a pre-order.

Yea but I imagine that it will be processed in the order that people ordered.

Just have to sit tight I reckon.

(Shakes head in disbelief at massive 3 day acquisition) :D

I sure hope you've got the room to put all these lovely new figures on display?, maybe a small warehouse perhaps? :D

At any rate Zippo, congrats mate, you've obviously worked and saved hard for a while to go on such an awesome trip. :)

Thanks for the kind words.
I have no room to display anything at all. So one of the next tasks I need to do over the next month or so is figure out what I have loose or in to open to display and play pile and if I wish to display it or if it needs to be stored.

Yummy, I like this batch. The Henkei seekers are the only "Classics" figures I've kept. I just so wish the G1 seekers had upper legs like the Henkei/Classic ones... that'd rock.
