Blurr, Counterpunch and Dirge are the ones that arrived today. Blurr is a great figure. Dirge is quite nice and Counterpunch, love it.
generations dirge?!?! is it out already?
Vector Prime got here from Blackie.
:eek:
In the Immortal words of Eric Cartman to Kenny McCormack:
"God Damn I Hate You Kenny!" - :p:D JK.
Nice haul there Kelvin, I so want wave 2 and 3 of Generations to arrive over here already!
My acquisitions today come from RobotKingdom and BookDepository.com:

I must say, MP Grimmy arrived from RK damn bloody quick!
From payment to arrival was less than a week, so I'm definitely going to purchase from RK again and would like to thank Kurdt for pointing out the $45 saving (compared to TRU Australia) and Griffin for reassuring me on shopping with RK. :D
In contrast, the Field Guide took 23 days to arrive after payment though I still am impressed with the prices of BookDepository.com and I'd like to thank Bartrim for pointing out the site, as I've also ordered Transformers: Exodus. :D
And for the sake of it, here is a comparison shot between G1 Grimlock and his Masterpiece upgrade:
I am digging the hell out of MP Grimmy - A truly awesome figure, regardless of his in-complexity (just the way Grimlock would have it IMO :p). :D:D:D
lucky you Hurst..my 3 MP Grimlock got lost in the mail since 13 Aug!!! and it's been more than a week
Received Legacy of Unicron TPB from Book depository.
Hey Hursticon how were the books packaged?? Is it thich cardborad so it doesn't get trashed on the way??? I ordered some books from them too hope they turn up in good condition :) Thanks
I noticed that thread, I'm really sorry to hear this Icey, nothing worse than figures MIA in the mail - I'm still waiting on a complete G1 Astrotrain from Nowra... 3 years and counting. :(
Oh how I love free postage! :D will you be doing a review Bartrim?
The book was packaged really well in a Bubble-Wrap Satchel, no cardboard but then the book is extremely thick for it's size so that probably helped.
The book looks brand new really and they seem to take real pride in their service, they are trying to compete with Amazon after all, so I reckon you should be in safe hands Primatives.
That looks uncomfortable. Remind me never to use your lip balm. :p ;) :pQuote:

My first RK order while living in Perth of course (was sweating like a blindfolded lesbian in a fish shop thinking the below Animated toys would sell out before I could make my order :p)!
Package contained:
-Hasbro MP Grimlock (gobsmacked by this toy like everyone else!)
-Animated Ironhide
-Animated Rodimus Minor
-Generations Darkmount
I'll talk about Darkmount as he's not in full circulation just yet. Rest assured, this guy won't disappoint! His 3 firearms are interchangable and simply clip onto different handles on the figure - a neat little feature which adds a bit of extra play value. Unlike Galvatron, Darkmount does the whole deluxe sized tank thing so much better - He doesn't feel flimsy, his transformation is smooth and not too complicated and the bold blue and red colours make him stand out and look imperial.
Fans of ROTF Voyager Bludgeon (everyone, right? ;)) will also appreciate how they've integrated his melee weapon into the tank design, it's brilliantly done! Another feature I love are his forearms, probably because they look like Animated Ultra Magnuses only scaled down, with added detail and inverted colours. In short, buy this toy!

G2 Hooligan was my favourite Transformer growing up.
God the Cyberjets were rad
:confused:You mean the cycle drone from Beast Machines:confused:
with yellow hands yes. looks so wierd lol. looks more movieverse in that lot
Ooh!, some nice items in that lot Sharky, congrats! :D
I sold my BW Laserbeak ages ago thinking it was just another Fox Kids Repaint of the BW Terrorsaur mold, oh how I've learnt since. :(
Is it just me, or are the BM Vehicons some of the weirdest designed figures that HasTakTom have ever produced?
Motorcycle Drone is quite show-accurate, so he does look quite Beast Machines. I don't think he looks movieverse at all really. Unlike Thrust and Tankor, the Motorcycle Drone and Tank Drone figures were created _after_ the show was made, thus are more show-like than their General counterparts.Quote:

Technorganic condor my waste disposal unit!
it is a shame we never got any of the better moulds avaliable at retail here.. i have managed to chase most of them down.. still after a hammerstrike and the later dinobots but silverbolt he looked so bad i actually have not opened him he is still sealed up nice and tight..... he will stay that way i think
It sucks because the design for Silverbolt on the show is really cool. =/
Back on topic: got the challenge for cybertron 3-pack from RobotKingdom. Can't wait to open it up tonight. :D
I don't Blame you Sharky, I share Goki's and your disdain for that horrible, horrible figure/mold/character design.
I mean, how could you go from this; Attachment 2441 to this: Attachment 2442 ???

Im kind of an idiot, because I mentally mixed up Legends and Activators, so I thought Prowl and BB would be bigger. Genius right? But hey, Ironhide is awesome!
Huzzah for old grails! A picture of Thrust from FFN.
