Cheers mate.... can't speak for others, but for myself, I've been on a vengeance since renewing my interest in collecting.

Afterall, a whole load of TFs still work out cheaper than intercoolers, turbos, intakes, exhausts or any other singular part for either of my cars. :D

No where near mate... it's about a scout size figure albeit partially die-cast.

Seeing as this will be remaining MISB (so I won't be doing a side by side height comparison pic)... here's the next best thing for you to get an idea how tiny he is (vs a deluxe Universe Starscream):

I just received:

Botcon Glyph

Fansproject Protector and Sidearm x2
Henkei Hot Rod
Heroes of Cybertron
Challenge at Cybertron

Plan is to have classics with the Fansproject in vehicle mode, Henkei with Fansproject in robot mode, Heroes Cybertron in vehicle mode, Challenge Rodimus in robot mode in my display.

Also got an extra Grand Maximus Cog so I can display them in vehicle mode.

And my second Blue Bacchus was incomplete and Black Shadow was a bit dodgy - so I ended up picking a nice set off TFW2005. The Blue Bacchus had unapplied stickers as well. The pic just shows the latest Blue Bacchus and Black Shadow in vehicle with the older ones in the back in pretender mode (i.e. the inner robot is inside the pretender shell).

whoah, wait a minute... does that mean you have 3 blue bacchus and 3 black shadows? :eek:

thats insane! how do you manage to display everything in all modes?

Purchased PCC Grimstone for $30 at Eastland Toyworld. Thanks Autobreadticon for the tip. This is my first PCC 5 pack purchase.

Yes i have 3. I have the other set displayed with my Overlord base. I tend to get most rare transformers in at least 2s so I can display in each mode. I have 3 overlords (base, robot and vehicle modes) and for buster and hydra, i will be getting a third pair - so I can display planes, robot and darkwings.

I have 3 display cabinets but am particular with what I collect so I dont collect everything (i.e. not planning to get Victory Leo, Star Saber, Deathsaurus etc.). I am not a MIB or MISB collector but have a few (MISB ARtfire and MISB ehobby Astrotrain) so that saves me space. The cabinets I got from IKEA - they have glass doors and adjustable shelving.

Quite alot of stuff this week:

Classics (im gonna call them that :)
- Blurr
- Thunderwing
- Wreck-Gar
- Perceptor
- Kup
- Scourge
- Dirge
- Black Skyfire
- Hasbro 2 pack - Jetfire and Grimlock

Fansproject
- Rodimus Prime Trailer (awesome)

I can tell you from a HK perspective these things are getting sold out like no tomorrow. Nothing in Mong Kok (besides hobbybase), nothing at Ins Point.

These things are super popular here, expect the scalpers to kick in shortly.

Last I heard from Hasbro AU, it was still TBC... which means at the time they were trying to get them here, but were still working on getting a store to take them.

Beast Wars Neo - Stampy :)
2011 OTCA Transformers Calendar w/ Robot Points! :D:cool:

http://i1032.photobucket.com/albums/...-27-ACQ-01.jpg

http://i1032.photobucket.com/albums/...-27-ACQ-02.jpg

I've got to say, I initially thought very little of a Transformer that turned into a Rabbit/Hare - So after giving Stampy 4 years worth of consideration, I decided to pick him up and I'm glad I did as he's actually a pretty cool little figure really. ;):)

The 2011 OTCA Transformers Calendar is absolutely awesome! :D:D:D
Great quality and effort has gone into this calendar and if you haven't already, GO HERE and place an order for one before you miss out! :eek:

Truly, it's a top notch Calendar and I highly recommend it! ;):)

I got them from a video game store in the UK - quite dearer than the price that Gametraders is selling them for - however, these are MISB with the external box whereas the one's available at GT are sold loose in their baggies (from what I gather).
