Complete Snapdragon from eBay.
Picked up Universe Hound today and for some reason a TF Movie and TF Animated Bop Bag.
Ah you picked up the last one in Big W Livingstone?Quote:

Not a TF acquisition (finally got my sister to order henkei Cyclonus though - it's amamzing how fast people will do you a favour when they want something in return) but today I got Thief 2 and Thief: Deadly Shadows (the latter won't run on my computer but next time I upgrade the beast...oh baby) for $20.:cool:
Picked up the 25th Anniversary Superion boxset for $53.xx from K-mart.
Is he worth the purchase ? Haven't been too excited about him from the pics I've seenQuote:

And a final thank you to autobreadticon for his junker Optimus Primal. I love you all. :D
Ah! You got G1 Grimlock! iirc the G1 Dinobots are a personal goal of yours, so congrats. :)
I found this tee at jayjay's today:

Heh, glad you guys like it. I think it looks a bit funny with how each Autobot is painted with just one colour each... makes me think:
+ Bumblebee - okay, he looks exactly the same in all yellow. No change here. :p
+ Optimus Prime - everything's red - even the helmet and eyes! Perhaps it's a tribute to G1's "All the Familiar Faces!" :p
+ Grimlock - in blue and silver... holy cow, it's Overkill retconned in the original G1 Grimlock mould! :p (Photoshop anyone?)
+ Jazz - in green. Perhaps it's an idea for a repaint as "Prius Maximus" (Photoshop? ;))
...together they look like Autobot Power Rangers. Ironic considering that Takara's original name for Transformers in Japan was 「変身戦隊トランスフォーマー」(Henshin Sentai Transformers - "Transforming Battle Squad Transformers"*). For those who don't know, all the Tokusatsu Sentai TV shows in Japan (the kinds of shows which are later culled to make Power Rangers) typically have the word "Sentai" (Battle Squad) in their titles, e.g.: (discussion continued in Power Rangers thread)
------------------------------------
*As most of you know, this name was abandoned in favour of 「戦え！超ロボット生命体トランスフォーマー」(Tatakae! Chou Robotto Seimeitai Toransufoomaa - "Fight! Super Robot Life Transformers")
Universe Inferno
It's confusing how there are two completely different toys known as "Universe Inferno" now. (-_-) I have Universe Inferno, but I don't have Universe Inferno (but I will be getting Henkei Inferno). WoO0OooOO0!1!!~1! (@_@) *collapses*
A simple yet interesting acquisition. I won a Universe Tankor/Octane on ebay fairly cheap. Turns out the sellers grandmother gave to him when she came over from Canada so it has writing in both French and English on the label. The backing card has a picture of Sunstraker on the front side (where the toy goes) and the back has a picture of all three wave1 figures. Octanes actual bio was on a folded bit of paper with the instructions.
Just thought it was interesting:)
I can't believe how many I've got in recent weeks. I've gone from about the mid 40s to 70! I mean, some of you I'm sure go through that in a week, but for me it's a big effort.

The Cyclonus seen here is a replacement one I bought from a different seller ever since I found out the last one was sucked by a huge vortex in a parallel dimension where undelivered parcels thrive in a utopian society.

Got Henkei Dinobot today but the Camera's battery ran out so no photo.
Thanks to the OTCA board members I picked up Universe Inferno today.
I passed on this every time I saw it. I'm not a fan of the mold or the character but for $25 at Target it is well worth it.
Hell, the voyagers at Target are cheaper than the deluxes, how does that work? :)
I also picked up TFA Activators Dirge and Cliffjumper but they are for a member on thefwoosh boards for a trade for the TRU exclusive Back Road Brawl Logan/Sabretooth 2 pack
I picked up the the same shirt as goktimus posted earlier. they had 4 or 5 new jackets at jay jays to. one with diffrent transformers on it in blue and light grey and black and dark grey. A red one with a large decepticon insignia on it and the other two I cant remember what they looked like cause I only glanced at them quickly. The blue and light grey on was really nice and I'll probably pick it up before the weeks over. I also got universe silverbolt and animated activators thundercracker and lockdown
Thanks to Jaydisc for delivering Thrust and Dirge today. I've also received the latest club magazine.
No thanks to the scalper? Mate, give scalpers some credit. They do all the hard driving, buying, delivery to point of transfer, charge exorbitant finders fees. I figured I was due for some sorta recognition.Quote:

Awesome figure, even if the hammer is a bit short. The expanding of the head more than makes up for it.
Welcome!
Thanks, mate.
