Try Ebay Wheel-J. I got mine from a local seller...that was last month IIRC. They were never issued here so when I found one from a local seller I grabbed one even though its of higher priced ... but then considering they would have to compensate for their shipping costs and all, its all good.Quote:

Crasher is her "real" name but Hasbro wasn't able to secure legal rights to that name so they used Fracture instead. Beats calling her Tankor. :)Quote:

Reason I like to have fracture is just got this idea of collecting formula racers (while others are collecting seekers.. :)).
I suspect there are going to be a lot of Ozformers toy polls where Wheel-J's not going to be ticking the last option. ;)Quote:

I have another former Gobot on its way too.
Got these while Christmas Shopping; I am glad I got back alive, the amount of people out on the road and in Roselands was incredible. Rumble's face is a bit crap but that's the sculpt and that is my first Arcee toy ever :)

The promo stand was definitely something from Hasbro, with some tag line on it saying something like 'Ideal small/cheap toys for Christmas'. With all of the figures in it being under $15 each, it had Robot Heroes(the new six), Activators (up to Thundercracker, patrol BB), Bumper Battlers(up to Nightwatch Op, Stingracer BB), and SW Clone Wars single figure packs.Quote:

It could even show up at Kmart and Target as well, but I have only seen it at BigW so far. I didn't have my phone with me, so wasn't able to take a photo of it either, to show others what to look for.
Onto the stuff I got on Friday.
Found (as per the story above) at BigW, 5 of the new 6 Robot Heroes packs (missing Arcee/Rumble pack, which I really need right now), and Bumper Battlers Nightwatch Optimus (the unwanted offspring of Actionmasters Thundercracker and Take-Off...) and Sting Racer Bumblebee.
From David Jones CBD, I bought the Bath set that I saw in Adelaide (I'd totally forgotten about wanting to get it when I returned). It has inside the Case, an Autobot Symbol sponge, and a bottle of bubble-bath.
And from the post office, the rarer white variant Transmetal 2 Dinobot. It was so low on my priority list, that it wasn't even on my checklist... but when I stumbled across one on ebay about a week ago, I put in the minimum bid and won it. This figure is like the Transmetal 2 Prowl (owl), in that it was done in two colour schemes, for no reason I know of (maybe they were an unofficial store exclusive). I don't think we even got the rarer colour schemes in Australia (the white Dinobot and black Prowl), and I was only really interested in the black Prowl because it was a significant redeco. From a distance, or on its own, the two Dinobots look very similar. Next to each other, you can see that the rarer one is pure white, compared to a creamy, off-white of the regular one. And the rarer one has a much brighter blue plastic, compared to the very dark blue on the regular one. I'll be posting up some comparison photos later to show what I mean. Anyway, this figure should *now* definitely complete my Beast Wars collection, as there aren't any other mass-released or store exclusives that I don't (think I) have.
The other package I picked up from the post office on Friday was the most exciting acquisition of the day. From a dealer in Japan, the complete set of Boss Coffee figurines and Microns - a total of 15 figures. I was only ever interested in the two (transforming) Micron figures from the set, and was looking at US$10 for each of them, everywhere on ebay. Then I came across this JP listing which had the entire set for US$25, and I though, for an extra $5 I'm getting 12 figurines... why the heck not?!
And shipping only cost US$18 as well because it wasn't from America. Double excellent. :p
I'm so glad I got the set though, because the 'pearly gold' trio are not just recolours of the coloured figurines, as I thought they were. And the coloured figures might be small, but most look really nice. Especially Shockwave! It looks so cartoon accurate... I'm really wanting to see a MP Shockwave done, just so that we have a 'full size' robot mode Shockwave toy that looks this good.
The colours on some others aren't good though, like Soundwave and Jazz... but for $5 extra, who cares!? :D
(In the photo below, the red, blue and purple things the Microns are standing on, are the 'bonus caps' on the Boss Coffe tins(?) which each figure was packaged in - red for the Autobot figurines, purple for the Decepticon figurines, and purple for the Microns and the larger golden figurines)

Hehe somehow I think I like the picturesque version of how they look like in rows on top of each other better. (*quickly runs away and hides now because I know I'm so gonna get smacked!*) :D :D :DQuote:

Yeah, and I forgot to mention that it was priced at only $15, PLUS, it ended up being 25% off, possibly due to the current DJs 'toy' sale. It aint a toy, but I wasn't complaining about getting an extra $3.75 off a (mere) merchandise item. :DQuote:

Okay, for those who are new to Ozformers in the last 6 years, there *is* a fan in Sydney (she still occasionally posts to the TFs newsgroup), who's current net name is Seawave. She started using it about 8 years ago, and now she's been immortalised with the naming of a toy 'after her'. (probably not really named after her, but I'm sure she would think it was - or maybe it was, as some JP employee may have heard of her net name at one time, and liked it enough to use it)
Unless there was a TakaraTomy Q&A, to find out who chose the name and why, we'll never know.
my entire collection of junkers says that the toy was not named after her.Quote:
