Thanks mate, he's indeed awesome! I especially love the white wash that fills in all the mechanical details - it's a reallly nice effect. :)Quote:

And yeah! how could I forget, Classics Legends Fireflight - again thanks to k.wong/ice/dirge.
:)
Unicron looks magnificent! Is he the smaller "Xmas borble" eating version? :pQuote:

Ah so that's the mold that Universe Fireflight comes from. I'll chase that down too at some point. He is very cool.
I haven't been quiet in the last month either and actually set aside time last Tuesday to update all my acquisitions (which took me about an hour to set up!) But after searching for the pics on all 4 home computers, I've come to the conclusion that my mum's deleted them either b/c a.) she needed space on the camera, or (more likely) b.) she's not very proficient w/ the camera and accidentally deleted all the pics (or c.) she just was sick of me buying all this crap and wanted to erase any memory of it).
So anyway, without pictures I can't thank the board enough b/c that's were 90% off my acquisitions have come from in the last month. I was gonna thank them with the pics but now since i don't have them I just want to give a huge thanks to i_amtrunks, Dirge and, last but definitely not least, llamatron.
First, thanks to i_amtrunks and then k.wong for all the trouble they went to with helping me save on shipping. Dirge too. I'm very glad to have the Energon shield and Dark Saber too after all this time as well as G2 Blast Off w/ card.
But biggest non-pic acqusition comes from llamatron. Thanks big guy for the Axelerators and Rescue Force all MOSC. Both, especially the Axelerators, are childhood favourites. They were the tail end of my collecting and they were the ones I remember clogging the shelves the very last time I walked through the toy aisles as a kid. After that it was cricket bats and pads and footy boots and sherrins. I remember the Axelerators very fondly. Their shiny little guns would always go missing and I'd scrounge around the laundry or unfolded clothes pile (where I played TFs) to find them. I'd always seem to lose one but then mum would later find it. Eventually the guns were lost (when I started to care a lot less about TFs) and eventually the base figures were sold off w/ contempt. I remember so glad of getting rid of them at the garage sale. It was almost like a badge of honour which in hindsight was quite ironic given they were among my favourite toys next to the Turbomasters. Also from llamatron was the red RiD Sideburn for free. One of the coolest alt modes I've seen. Thanks mate. Very memorable acquisitions and among my acquisitions of the year. The tough question is whether I can bring myself to opening them from their minty MOSC packages. :confused:
Onto more acquisitions:

- SC-17 Wing Saber
- GC-22 Wing Saber
- MC-13 Red Hot Shot
Thanks heaps to FFN. I always looked forward to this package from the very start and then when I sent off your Big Daddy I thought why didn't I send one of these too. But yes, these were a lovely part of the acqusition too:

From retail and my last acquisitions of the year so I can concentrate on some other priorities:
http://img119.imageshack.us/img119/7742/dscf4346qd8.jpg
- Dropshot (for lcz128)
- Treadbolt x 2 (for me, I love this mold a bit too much :o and not to mention the good price I managed to nab all 3 Voyagers at I couldn't help but fall in love again with this ugly twin sister)
- Acid Storms courtesy of the missus
- Jetstorm/Jetfire two packs (1 for me and 1 for my closet collecting friend who likes his combiners a bit too much despite my recommendation against it. But rest assured, I'll get the bogan to sign up someday)
- Robot Heroes Waspinator and Rhinox from TK (will start up a thread about this)
- Battle Damaged Optimus Prime from TRU: I passed on him at Highpoint and then came back the following day and there was the only one left. :eek:
- Premium Ratchet: courtesy of that selfish Jaydisc fella
- TFM Battler Ironhide: also courtesy of that abovementioned fella and thanks for the price matching. Now I have an Ironhide I can transform! :D
And lastly these are Con's acquisitions which I took the liberty of sharing on his behalf: :)

Beast Wars, G1 sequels and the Region 4 animated movie arrived today. :)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v709/melpix/dvds.jpg
I had two packages waiting for me today, one from Omega Supreme and one from llamatron. I haven't opened them yet, and although I know what's in them, it feels like early Christmas :)
Thanks guys, always a pleasure dealing with you both.
:eek: That ought to keep you busy for the next five months...Quote:

From Casefresh:

I am surprised at how quickly they arrived which is very unlike my previous experinces with Casefresh. They costumer support was also very friendly and effective unlike my previous dealings. I think that I will consider them as a serious alternative to buying toys if they continue this good costumer service.
Isn't Casefresh located near where you live?
They were basically down the road where I used to live. I kept asking them for me to go and pick up when their orders were over 3 weeks due but they kept saying that their policy does not allow pickup :rolleyes:Quote:

Picked these up last friday while I was out Xmas shopping with mum. Got that lucky dog of mine a small Wall-E sofa bed which he hardly uses and still prefers his smelly Winnie the Pooh bean bag. :rolleyes:

An unlikely purchase or RID (Classics/ Universe or whatever they are calling it this week) Mirage.
The young fella now has a couple of extra activators because he doesnt cry when he gets his hair cut anymore.
He deserves them to as it used to take two of us to hold him down to do it.
this should mean that mine will be arriving at icy's office soon :DQuote:

i'm also in the mist of customising the Movie Armorhide received from Dark Saber into custom G1 Pipes... :P the blue is not the colour i intend to use but well...results later.
Oh forgot to add that I also bagged a Hulk-former for $24 at target. Finally found one cheap! Not gonna pay $30 for a deluxe-ish former!

i already applied the blue coat on it...very dark but now i seem to like it. using silver paint for some parts as well. might introduce some yellow to it too.Quote:

2 other bust has arrived that belongs to blackie and...
WOOHH, WW Grimlock is HUGE, regret not getting that
In the mail today - Titanium War Within Grimlock and Prowl, Collector Club Magazine, 25th Optimus (US edition - no padding in box, so slightly crushed!!!), AND Gen2 Slingshot (the gold one). I bought a fairly cheap one on ebay, that was loose, and expected it to fall apart on contact, but it has almost no sign of stress on the gold plastic, and I was able to transform it to robot mode without any force (or breakages).
Now there are just 3 coloured Dinobots to finish my Gen2 collection, which I had hoped to do this year, but I don't think it's gonna happen. Two are on their way, but the red Slag is proving difficult to find out of packaging. Never mind, I should get to within one of my 2008 objective. :)
a common misconception , i bet all the stuff said about G2 slingy was brought on by conspiracy theorists.Quote:
