Keibunsha you say? Would you mind sending me the ISBN and I will do a search for it. I have tried various book shops in japan, (book off etc) but didn't have any luck.Quote:

Unfortunately, the one and only Japanese book store in Perth closed down a couple of years ago....
I had to go back to find out what you meant. LOL.Quote:

Very nice, Thanatos. Very nice.
Yeah, I was pretty happy.
I found a Bionicle sword with with Unicron, and tbh, it makes him look badass. I'm going to have to see what other weapons the Bionicle line offers because sometimes swords make a Transformer look badass (Vector Prime is a total example of this)
Over the past few days:
- Ultra Magnus (IE. Nightwatch Prime) at the awesome price of $70!
- Evac: he's my Mr. 1000! Woot!
- Warpath

Courtesy of Unca Iceburn for the last two. And they round out Ultra Magnus' team. I've been waiting for Ultra Magnus for a long time. As soon as I got him all the others that have been sitting in packaging came out immmediately. And I also found the repaint to really work. The shade of gray is less dull than Prime's gray and the light bright blue makes him seem a little different. The purple windows didn't quite warm to me at first but they really do work well once you transform it once or twice. The shade of blue for the armour is also really nice. They look lovely as a team.
I'm calling them:
- Skyblast
- Cliffjumper
- First Aid (I don't really see the need for a "Rescue Ratchet", movie ratchet is movie ratchet!)
- Ultra Magnus
- Warpath
- Evac
- Air Raid
Evac I find to be really good. The new head mould and colours really make it shine. I reckon the Premium Blackout will be better with the improved decos. With Ultra Magnus I changed the shoulder pads and the point hood bits at the back a bit to make him a little different to Prime. I now need a blue blade to go with him. I also changed Skyblast's wings around and given him a gun rather than an axe so he's different enough to Air Raid.
I do find that renaming and being able to form a good looking squad really helps to invigorate the collecting. Otherwise I'd would've hated Nightwatch Prime, Cliffjumper and Rescue Ratchet. It gives repaints some meaning and interest. I felt an overwhelming sense of joy when I found Nightwatch Prime cos it meant I had Ultra Magnus and I could complete my 2nd Autobot TFM team. Anyone else do that?
That's very cool STL. Love that concept of an UM second TFM team.
A gold star for the bright student.:)
hahha.. yeh i do a bit of kitbashing... these cost me about 30US each (ebay)... prime was a bit of a rip off IMHO( but i got hiim before anyone else did.. lol) , but megs was definetly worth it!
i love how the cartoon style robot modes transform really well into the alt modes.. im actually really surprised
Got encore starscream and ironhide today, starscream is crappy!!!
I would have bet you would have said ironhide was crappy
Yeah but they display nice!!Quote:

How much did the set put you back, Dirge? I'm looking to get one myself in the near future.

£200. Which is cheaper than the set normally goes for.Quote:

He was sitting on £18.00 but someone else decided to have a go:(. Oh well it's from the same seller so hopefully he hasn't sent the other one off yet so I can save on postage.:D WOOHOO only £1.00 in extra postage to put the items in the same package:D.
I just picked up my 600th Transformer: Supreme Cybertron Starscream new in box from Ebay for the delightfully evil total price of $66.60
Yeah, it would have been great if this was my 666th Transformer but I couldn't find 66 other Transformers to buy yesterday :)
I also got a bunch of other toys in today from one seller that averaged out to $16 a figure:
G1: Swindle
Beast Wars: Terrorgator, Bantor, Transquito
Beast Machines: Longhorn
Armada: Hotshot, Sideswipe, Blurr
Energon: Ironhide, Insecticon, Snowcat, Hotshot
Universe: Treadshot
and a Walmart exclusive Universe Dinobot Sludge, which I never knew existed until I saw it listed for sale.
(also some stowaway from Eternia that sets totally unrealistic body expectations for young men...)

Curse you STL and your ability to make me want repaints. Come on, REPAINTS?!Quote:

Now to go find these damned repaints. I think it's time to clear out the collection a little.
Nice one STL.. :D I was confused for awhile about who was Ultra Magnus, it's really an interesting concept. But then again even before this, I was gonna buy Nightwatch Prime anyway, can't resist the Autobots and I told iceburn I might get Desert Brawl too since I didnt have the green one.. :p And I so regretted not getting Evac from Singapore, with the exchange rate, he was gonna be much cheaper.Quote:

I personally don't see it as Ultra Magnus as Ultra Magnus was never a blue truck cab - but that's just me. As much as some people complain about all the white-Prime Magnus repaints, they are "G1 accurate" because G1 Magnus' cab was indeed white.
If they'd called it Sentinel Prime, I'd scoop it up - especially considering that Sentinel Prime is blue in Animated!
Picked up "Cybertron University" t-shirt from jays jays new tf collection.
damnit! I wish they had those shirts around when I was at uni!! (>_<)
hahaha def gonna buy that!!!!!!!!!!
got jetfire from IHEC , PROPS to you!!!!
got bumblebee legends and optimus/ravage robot heroes
i am slowly getting there...... :p

Sweet postman brought this parcel of items in this morning. Took only 3 days to arrive, all from Robot Kingdom. Superb service, now hope MP-04 orders arrive as fast too. Coolz! :D

* Extra Dirge is Iceburns...

Nice Sifun. I really want one of those too (I'd call him Drag Strip) but the cost is pretty ridiculous b/c he wasn't available in great numbers in the first place.
Two Dirges, Mel? Really like him i take it. Also, does GF Blurr and Buzzsaw come with individual bio cards inside)? I have Blurr but would buy the two pack if there are cards. (I'm shocking, I know)

And courtesy of Unca Ice once again,
- Sideswipe = meh
- Smokescreen (ugh)
- Armada Wheeljack (kinda neat but hate the name; it doesn't make sense)
- Powerlinx Cyclonus
Cyclonus and Wheeljack were pretty much the better two. However, prettty poor for modern figures. I'll continue chasing down the line at cheap prices only, I guess. The Mini-Cons here all have pretty cool modes though
I would've used the Cybertron repaints too but they haven't shown up yet at retail yet. My other thought was Off Road Ironhide as Skids. But he'll need some reprolablel stickers to do that. That or the original Ironhide as Trailbreaker again with help from Reprolabels. However, that said it kinda irked me to have too many of the same moulds in both Prime and Magnus' team so hence why I stuck with only First Aid. Strong arm isn't high on my list.Quote:
