The legions and deluxes aren't two stupidly priced here (still bad though) but every other size class you're probably better off importing.

agreed, i looked on HLJ and mate i would be ordering in bulk for the prices they are offering:cool:. just wish i had looked there first and acquired them of the net.:o

Love the transformation and the poseability

and picked up this guy tonight because I need a bulkhead.

I think I'll wait till I see the others at Kmart or Big W, and hopefully on sale. as good as it is, $18 is a bit steep.

So after my "$18, I wouldn't pay that!" comment (a pathetic attempt at convincing myself that I had any kind of self control when it comes to the purchasing of transforming bits of plastic), I trotted across to Coles to pick up a late dinner. Oh, it's late night shopping I think. *brain starts ticking* Maybe I should see if Target has a Commander Starscream. You know, just to look at it. Ever said that to yourself? :rolleyes: Five minutes later and your grabbing every Starscream on the shelf, examining each one like you're John Benjamin with a rare diamond ring on Antiques Roadshow. It's bought. And then you're so excited with your purchase (which you never intended to actually buy of course) that when you do buy your late dinner, you leave your credit card in the machine at Coles. >_<*

I've picked these up over the last week after telling myself that the only TFPrime toy I would pick up would be Wheeljack. Self control, bah!

Don't feel too bad bro, after my rant here I went out and bought Optimus and Megs. I've now had another epiphany that OTCA is really AA for Transformers collectors. Admitting we have a problem is the first step :)

Well, Im just a bit sad coz my most accessible Target stores are sooooooooo slow in getting anything (the TF shelves was bare) so I had to settle in getting some fix at Kmart - which thankfully has some Vehicons. So ive got a total of 6 now :D:D:D. Still hoping to spot Screamer, Megs and Bulky.... hopefully on a sale coz yeah - kinda steep priced aren't they for such small figures- they should've been just oh $10 max really. Siiigh :(

Hello everyone, My name is UltraMarginal, I'm a Transformers collector.:D

Seriously guys, stop deluding yourselves:rolleyes:;), I always knew I'd be getting all the cyberverse figures, they are great desk toys. I just didn't realise I'd be getting all the legions in the space of 2 days.
having bought bulkhead last night, it's going to be difficult waiting for the other 3 commander class figures to arrive at Big W or Kmart where I know they'll be at least a couple bucks cheaper.:)

Ooh! - Congrats on the Devy mate! :D
He is such an awesome set of figures and when combined, is an even cooler figure indeed - his unique composition of 6 figures, coupled with the eventuating bulk, makes him one of my more favoured of the G1 gestalts. ;):cool:

Here are my acquisitions that have arrived over the past week, courtesy of RobotKingdom, Kmart & eBay China:
- Animated, Leader Class - Megatron
- Animated, Voyager Class - Starscream
- Animated, Yoyager/Deluxe - Lugnut
- BOTCON 2002, Beast Wars - Post Cards
- Classicsverse, Deluxe - Scourge
- DOTM, Human Alliance - Soundwave

Once I've opened them mate, I'll scan each one and whack 'em up but I think I might have to place a watermark on them - Photobucket had a go at me for posting a pic of a store-bought Iron Maiden CD, saying that Iron Maiden's lawyers had contacted them about the supposed 'Copyright Infringement'!?! :confused:

This lead me to 2 thoughts:
1. Evidently, the promotion of purchasing their Music via a proper legal means meant less than the supposed potential loss of some cover-art revenue? :confused::rolleyes:
2. Iron Maiden's Execs lurk on an Australian Transformers Fan Forum (The only place I posted the pic), making me very pleased for Griffin as his site is apparently attracting some rather notable client�le. :D

Cheers Loopy! :D
Even though his transformation isn't terribly involving; Leader Class Megatron is rather cool indeed and surprisingly capable of a number of poses too for having such oddly proportioned legs and bulk - He's ten tonnes of fun that's for sure! ;):cool:
(I just wish his ratchets had a few extra teeth/clicks :o)

Thanks mate! :cool:

I found mine on eBay for $64 w/ Free Shipping, draw back is though that it took literally a month to arrive but this was made known by the seller before the completion of the transaction. ;):)
The stand holding Laserbeak was recommended to me by Liege Prime and is what is known as an Obitsu Doll Stand, here's a review dude. :)

^Just ordered one off eBay for AU$64.88 shipped :-) Yours is just too nice to resist AND the laserbeak looks great, better than the deluxe one! Not sure if that stands are what I'm after though.

thanks Hursti, got him out as soon as i got him and decaled him up then put him into combined mode and he looks freakin sweet. would have to be one of the best acquisitions i have got since the Parra Fair.

By the way you have scored an awesome haul there to mate. love the animated series of TF's. Congrats!:cool:

Excellent! :D
Glad to hear it dude, his HA iteration is far superior to his Deluxe version as he doesn't feel as fragile as paper, avoids horrible shoulder construction and doesn't suffer for having a stupidly gimmick laden weapon. ;)

HA Soundwave I found to be utterly enjoyable to transform and greatly more intuitive (A major contrast compared to my experience with the Deluxe :rolleyes:) but whilst he may have slightly kibbly upper arms/shoulders, he certainly is no slouch - As can be seen here. ;):cool:

Half the fun of G1 figures, IMO, is applying the stickers (As I've discussed with Heroic Decepticon over on his Blog) and I really should get my act together on acquiring some Reprolabels for my figures so as to give them a new lease on life. ;):)

Cheers for the compliment too dude, my growing group of Animated Decepticons is really coming together now with only 1 to 4 left on my radar (Shy of last years Botcon set which I simply cannot afford :p) but should you or anyone else wish to; Checkout Megatron's complete shoot over here. :D
(More shameless plugging! :p)
