Universe Inferno x 2, Overload and Leo Prime...

Score!
Actually only one Inferno is for me, the other three toys already claimed by others.
I checked two other stores (Fountain Gate, Dandenong) hoping to find more for the others asking me but nothing there. Worth checking your local Target though!
rawr, just got a bargain at Target myself. Got Inferno for $25 :D How awesome is that?!!

today i got
seaspray, wheelie and warpath from the sandown fair
TFA shockwave from Jay
and the thing that made me most happy, encore omega supreme from the ice man (big thanks again mate, made me super happy to open it up this arvo :D )

Got these two pieces at the Perth Nexus toy fair yesterday sat morning.
I was really hoping to get hold of this bumblebee mold at the fair & even though I couldn't find my preferred Henkei version, the black/yellow colour scheme is really growing on me. I'll have to rate this version ahead of the original yellow/white one and just behind the Henkei's more classic look.
ANd as for the KO Binaltech hound, it is actually rather OK despite it being a KO. :o
The finishing on this piece isn't as fine as you would expect on the original... e.g. ball joints a little rough & vehicle mode panels not fitting perfectly.
But at $15, I find it difficult to complain. He looks quite good standing next to MP Prime. Saves me the trouble of having to hunt him down on ebay and shipping him in.
All in all, a $35 good haul from the fair.. but i'm beginning to regret not picking up the loose animated prime and animated grimlock from Kyle! (having some major space issues in the house at the mo).
PS - ANyone knows where I can get autobot stickers for my figures? Bumlebee and hound do not have autobot logos.
omg. My local target has 0 voyagers. :(Quote:

Bloody typical. The week my stuff arrives, it appears locally on Aussie shelves cheaper than I paid. F@#k you Hasbro Aus.!! :mad:
Picked myself up Transformers Risk to go with TF Monopoly. Haven't played it yet but it appears to have more rules than the original.
Also got some G1 Optimus floor mats for my car
wicked where did you get them from?? by any chance did they have any other character floor matsQuote:

My sister got them for me from the US so not sure if they are available here mate. She said they had Megatron ones as well but being such a heavy item she could only get one in with the bag weight limits.Quote:

I've managed to finally get boxed versions of these guys for $30 and $10 respectively! Now to find room in the Iacon Hub-Capital for them.

The painted annual cover was something I remember from my childhood. Had to get it. Man, the art holds up better than I thought it would inside. Still have to read it as I barely remember what happened.
The others I'm a bit regretful about, they're just reprints of UK stuff with some prose inbetween.

Masterpiece Grimlock & Henkei Prowl. Prowl came from the fair at a cost of $20. :D
EDIT: my bad on the lack of resize too. :o
They're not reprints. That's where the stories are from. Anything else with those stories in them is a reprint.Quote:

Oh, so I've got original stories cool. Thought I'd seen those stories somewhere else. Oh and almost forgot about my scalping tendencies :)Quote:

Wow! good work on getting those Annuals in one hit!
Yo STL, howd you score MIB classics UM + Skywarp for only 30 bucks?
Today I picked up my Encore Trailbreaker & Hoist... thanks to Tropisetron! :)
