He mentioned that website when I bought a G1 off him a while ago on Ebay
Okay... Orion, the cost I paid will make you cry. Mine was less than 1/2 yours.Quote:

Usually, its the rarer items I find fun to find. Wouldnt really go for any of the more common retail items.
I found a complete Fort Max for a guy previously for $600.
Pulse, no, I havent dealt with him before.
I am trying to hunt down the japanese version of Nightbeat at the moment. Minerva. Maybe I can ask this guy to help. He hasnt listed any prices on his site so abit hard to guess if he is competitive or not. But doesnt hurt trying.
That would be most wonderful kc99! :D Id like some of the stuff youve been getting of late but Im too squeamish to go buying internationally. mebbe you could help me get these, seeing as you've already got the contacts, and I'll pay you instead :D.Quote:

Been there and done that a few times *sigh*
Yeah, I agree.. man, if I count how many times I got stung we all get the items we believe its worth. I knew I got it cheap but to someone else, they might still think I got ripped off.Quote:

Though what I have found helpful is getting some of the guide books and being patient with items so I know when the seller is having a go.
liegeprime, let me know what you are interested in and I will see if I can find them. Sometimes, it takes patience and a bit of time.
Those prices I quote are from ToyFare Magazine's Price Guide as calculated by Jon Guiterriez.
I don't really buy these kinds of toys myself, even though I have been a long time fan of Japanese G1. :) I might change my mind after I complete my Hasbro G1/G2 collection and there'd be little else for me to spend my money on... but until then I'm focusing on completing my Hasbro TFs first. :)
P.S.: Remember that they are just guide prices. For toys that are so rare (especially outside of Japan) it really becomes a seller's market.
kelvinchang99....I might have to take your offer on that too. There isnt much I want but its a bugger to find and find it at a good price.
Also just found out that my house got broken into last night but luckly they didnt take much. Looks like they left all my G1 TF collection, HDDVD/Bluray discs and thousands of dollars of Anime cels which I am really glad. Looks like they took a black money tin though with over $200 and two passports which is going to cost $600 to replace but I wont know till I get back home on Friday *sigh*
Many times I also spent heaps more than what I came across later. At the end of the day you get the toy you want. You can always make more money later, but you can't always find the same toy again. Cheer up. :)Quote:

Pics of the Animated Deluxe wave 3 toys I got the other day have appeared in the Action Pose Thread.
Hi guys,
I couldnt afford the crazy prices going for a Raiden set these days so went with a Diaclone version that I spotted at a good price. Worked out better actually as it comes with 6 drivers and the rails that the later released versions dont have. Stickers not applied on this figure but are included. The seller told me its complete and only missing 1 instruction for one of the figures. Anyone see anything else missing. The 2 guns on the leg is there, I just didnt attach it for the pic.
So, it finally arrived after much anticipation.

Valkyrie, sorry to hear that man. Gotta be careful, there are a lot of breakins lately in Sydney. Time to up that insurance policy.
Kyle, even you get burnt and you are the source of info and contacts. So orion, I wouldnt worry too much. I have had thoughts I paid too much for a figure but in a couple of years, I end up knowing the figure I got was cheap compared to today's prices. Like Kyle said, its the toy you want.. Money will come and go.
Looks complete to me, 99 (:
Thanks Dirge for confirming. Awesome then ....Quote:

kc99: just out of curiosity how much did that Diaclone Raiden set you back? You should get some Autobot stickers from reprolabels and decorate them. :)
i've been lax in the past fortnight but here you are
You got your hands on all of those in just 3 days?! :eek:Quote:

More like the office boy who collects the postal items as all his (Icy's) parcels are sent to his office pulse! :D Anyway nice acquisitions bro... Man you are tempting me with the Revoltechs and I'm itching to get my RK parcel! In transit at the moment.. Hope it reaches tomorrow.. :pQuote:

MISB Japanese G1 Meister/Jazz
Small grail item for me. Was going to wait until Singapore to get, but thought it might be gone.
http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...2008Haul06.jpg
Animated Soundwave, Legacy Quad Cannon Clone Trooper, Lancer Droid, Titanium Pod Racer
http://www.geocities.com/wow_frostwolf/tf3/140808.jpg
Skystalker, A Grail Item for me since it was such an ordeal to get him. He is not perfect however, I still need to fix a broken wing and the main canon's stand is missing but overall I am just happy to get it after three failed attempts.
2x Titaniums Skywarps (one for Dirge)
1x Stranglehold (thanks to Griffin for the gun)
Assorted Micros which I already have but came with Skystalker.
Kup, I'm guessing you couldn't wait on Warpy there... :)
Actually, I did. I only ordered them last week when prices became more moderate and after combining with Dirge the shipping price for each figure went down to something that I am very happy with.Quote:

Anyway, waiting any more would have either caused the remaining figures to sky rocket in price as the supply diminishes. Also remember that since it has been confirmed that there will be no retail Toy World release, it became the best way and time to do it.
Premium Jazz and Bumblebee. Have to wait for camera battery to recharge.
Both much nicer in their shininess than standard editions, especially Jazz, but Premium Bumblebee still doesn't hold a candle next to the brightly shining flame that is Lawson's Bumblebee.
Protectorbots Assemble!!! finally got all the bits to form Defensor from evilbay plus the card backings and a couple of junkers(not pictured).
Also went to put some money down on a layby at Toyworld and ended up with classics Prime instead he looked so lonely in his box i just couldnt help myself:D

Picked up Iron Man. Transforms from jet to robot drunkard and back! ;D

Hey loopie, this might interest you. :)
thats one of the things on my to do/get list
Hey Gok,Quote:

I dont really want to use the original labels. Thanks Gok.
Anyway, like Kyle says, the toys maynot come around again.
Iceburn,
What .. did I say that... If my better half finds out.. chop chop... hehehe..
Save later.
*shhhh* i didn't say anything...

TFU Nemesis Prime still in box but soon to be out. Nightfall had to have some backup security just in case ol Nemy turns out to be more than he can handle:p
Batteries charged...
