the amount i paid was what i usually spend in tfs in every toy fare, which is about every 4 months. And the rest of the year i dont usually buy any toys.
Recently i started an experiment, does spending money make me happy? past 30 yrs ive just let it sit in the bank and save, oh the autumn years approach...im off to play chess with Death
Wonderful acquisition roller! thats putting your mind.. and your pocket into it.:D You gonna open these? or will they remain in their prisons? If so be careful of the waist plate ( connector for Longhaul, Scrapper and Mixmaster) it's not as strong as the G1 plastic.
Well broke a transformers Drought I have had since Christmas (barring two legends and a deluxe figure)
First up Custom Alt red Alert from Stencilator, this guy is awesomesauce:

From SkyShadow:
- Animated Jetfire, Jetstrom/Safeguard
- RID Towline
KelvinChang gave me the G1 Grotesque (with working cold sparks, and the best stickers I have ever seen on a g1 figure)
and Thanks to Fatbot for the Cybertron Scourge (who I have cut half out of the picture...whoops.)
But you have to get cameras fixed. We can't have them breeding all over the placeQuote:

Very happy this morning when the always friendly delivery man knocked on my door. :) Big thanks to my favourite Ozformers Jay and Bossbot!
From Griffin: Pinkimus Prime (US Version) and from Jaydisc: Animated Voyager Prime from his US trip.

Well, many of us already knew the US version of Pinkimus comes with an extra DVD. But what's special about Animated Prime?
http://www.hk-tf.com/discuz/upload/a...duA4QtqjKB.jpg
One can argue that Prime is THE Autobot so he doesn't really need the insignia... but I reckon the insignia "completes" the toy for me. :p
http://www.hk-tf.com/discuz/upload/a...reUBn2ZAae.jpg
Really like the nice placement of the comic on the US packaging (right under the flap). :) Animated Prime on the other hand, looks great with the insignia in bot mode. Very nice. ;)
ohh forgot about the Voyager Animated Prime that has new insignia! nicely done
Jay was VERY thoughtful. He remembered me being a completist/sucker for OP variants and went looking for it before I realised it was out. :pQuote:

Even though his colours are more muted than the G2 toy he's based on, they are still utterly horrible.
From across the galaxy to battle the evil Decepticons comes the ultimate Auotobt hero Optimus Prime
transforming from big rig to a powerful robot, hes the greatest Autobot of them all, with a hidden battle platform and a light and sound power pack for real battle action, and when Optimus talks I am Optimus Prime the Decepticons will run for cover
Transformers Generation 2!
Optimus and Vortex each sold seperately!

arrived quickly and nicely from zuppo in New Zealand, thanks alot cuz
this toy is super fun!!! the battery pack lid falls off but its no real nuisance
You seem to be on a G2 roll, roller. :D
Hey Kyle, is that "red" more vibrant than the original release of the Voyager or is it just your Camera? That red is so rich!
It was just my camera... :p
my arrivals on Wednesday and Movie Incinerator from yesterday:
http://images.icebu12n.multiply.com/...nmid=199527311
I'm selling Motorhead for $4-5 if anyone wants it.
got my cc head kit from icy
sad to say it, but this blokes customizing career is over
the gun is of a poor quality (not smooth, has burs from the mould, clear handle isnt even at 90deg to the gun itself...) and the same with the missiles (theyre not actually in straight..)
looks alright from a far, so i wont get too close :P
hoping for some more aquis soon, to make my month even bigger :D
WOOT Universe Cyclonus!!!
Man, that sucks to hear that even the gun and the missles are rubbish.Quote:

Complete Gobots, Windbreaker, Seaspray, Beachcomber, Race Track Patrol, Freeway as well as Devastator accessories.

One down, 4 to go

Finally found the suckers locally. Now to cancel my BBTS order, and then wait for Wave 5 to come in.
Zippo, i already mentioned in the thread that the parts manufactured were out of porportion and items are not cut properly nor PASS any safety standards (too many sharp edges)
Universe Beachcomber from Toyworld Freo, and kudos to the guy at the counter for giving my impoverished self a discount.:)
Universe Inferno and Leo Prime:

:DBAM!:D

Thanks to Wiigii for the powermaster. Man I cant get enough of them!!:D
Generations book is awesome!:D Great shots of MP Grimlock and Alternity Convoy, comparing him with the real car! A good look at Disney label, although its a lot smaller than I expected. HEAPS of variations of g1 Convoy listed. Bad news for those Convoy completeists (Kyle, better not look);).
They have a bit on Henkei up to Cyclonus and as a suprise I though, have a pic of the universe version in vehicle mode. Probably to make the Japanese feel good aout themselves. Lets just say that Sideswipe and Sunstreaker of the Universe flavour don't come out too well...
At the back it has some very cool concept sketches from the diaclone days. They were quite nice looking, but perhaps a little ambitious. Interesting to see the ideas for Magnus forming, with a motorbike combiner set.
Has some non-japanese catalogue scans. I was suprised to see that New Zealand seemed to have its own type!!! Compared to Australia that got the others. Wierd.
SO looking forward the rest of the books now!:D
And your verdict on the most awesomesauce Universe figure (Inferno) is?Quote:

Overload, on the other hand, makes that 2 (or 3?) versions of Cyb Defence Scattershot in the Universe line so I left him behind.
I expect to utter a similar noise when i finally spot the bugger myself.Quote:

So is Leo Prime's head retooled to look more like Optimus Prime or is it just a straight repaint of Leobreaker? I think that mould would've looked nicer with Lio Convoy's colours personally.
It looks like a sort of squashed version of Optimus Prime, which is a shame. I think it would have been better to be a new character, not another Prime clone.Quote:

I also caved and bought a Universe Cyclonus, these Universe 2 toys look great in person!
Came home and found G1 Onslaught with a bonus Huffer, thanks heaps to Gamblor!
I got Movie Incinerator and Offroad Ironhide today, since they were on sale and at a decent price for once.
