Nice score. I paid about the same (including postage) for Fire Guts on his own... so you've got a good deal there.

BTW guys, can we ease up on the "OPEN!" callouts a little? While I'd never buy an AFA sealed toy, I respect the right of others to buy them, and appreciate that they'll enjoy them on a different level to me. The "OPEN!" callouts might well end up being a downer for the person who has picked up a sealed toy to keep sealed. It's not really nice to have your acquisition dumped on by others.

Okay I've finally downloaded all the pics I took in Malaysia...

My pick ups in Malaysia:

Lah.

Atomic Lugnut was on clearance, Cliffjumper was cheap also. The place selling Skids was all out of Sideways, but I found one when I got home, yesterday:

For the sake of space in my suitcase, I threw out Atomic Lugnut's box. But I took a picture of him before I opened him.

Oh, and jaydisc, I _did_ seem those Animated voyagers we discussed. They were full priced (about the same as here). I only saw Bulkhead, and wanted to grab you one, but didn't end up having enough room in the suitcase ):

Very well said, I agree 100%. Although MISB is not my thing (although, if finances allowed, I would make it my thing), I have the utmost respect for those that can resist the temptation to open, and proudly display the figure in sealed card/box art glory =o) You could compare it to MISB collectors demanding you to NOT open yours... Which is something you'd rather not do ofcourse, so really it's an "each to their own" thing, and pressuring others against their will just isn't what it's all about.

Got this guy for free and free of postage from a good mate. JTGONS from youtube. His mint with no gun, so I went ahead and paid $30 for a blaster gun.

+1 Here, here. Each to their own and all that jazz. Let people enjoy their collections anyway they choose to without any pressure.

YAY! My local Target (suprisingly) got Stormcloud in, and for the $22.49 too! And while I have critisized the Silverbolt mould in the past, at $22.49 I gladly added him to my stash =o) I am glad I got him before completely writing off the mould (as I had previously only had Darkwind as an example). Silverbolt is much nicer to the eyes than Darkwind imo, I just couldn't stop thinking 'kiddy toy' with Darkwinds colour scheme, but ol' Silver looks just as 'heroic autoboty' as he should =o) Did anyone else notice a significant drop in quality in Stormcloud compared to Powerglide? Or maybe just me...

Seeing as I managed to aquire Stormcloud locally, I no longer need anyone interstate to track one down for me. So for those I asked about getting one to send over, you no longer need to do so, but I do appreciate any efforts that were made. Although, if anyone already has bought him for me and lost their receipt, I will honor it.

Well, first it was Classics 2.0 Prowl and Henkei Smokescreen, now Classics 2.0 Powerglide and Stormcloud... I think I have officially overruled my original plan of 'no repaints' =oP

Picked up TFA Deluxe Class Oil Slick this morning.

And this afternoon I received, courtesy of SentinelPrime, the following:

Titanium 3" Megatron
Titanium 3" Optimus Prime
Titanium 3" Bumblebee
Titanium 3" Rodimus
Titanium 3" Unicron
Heroes of Cybertron Soundwave
Heroes of Cybertron Rodimus Prime

Not a bad one-day haul. :p

Picked this one on up on clearance:

It was the only one left at the JayJays outlet (:

Micron love from the awesome man Zippo

Got the final missing radar part that I needed for G1 Scorponok today from ezystyles

Added the following today courtesy of some mail arriving:

CYBERTON PRIMUS
HENKEI THUNDERCRACKER
HENKEI SKYWARP (Classics Skywarp is now for sale)
UNIVERSE HOT SHOT

You all know what they look like, and I can't really be bothered, so no pics today!

<EDIT - pic added since according to some :rolleyes:, not adding a pic means you're telling tall tales, so here's the proof :p >

MOSC G2 Volt!

Received Encore #11 Skywarp & Thundercracker this afternoon courtesy of Sky Shadow.

A day late but here is my loot thanks to Kennymark:

http://www.geocities.com/wow_frostwolf/loot/280909.jpg

That G2 Laser Prime is freaking awesome and way ahead of its time! Its even better than many contenporary toys as if someone from 2010 went back in time to 1995 and gave the mold to Takara.

Nothing too exciting today, just some bling to dress up a certain Decepticon for when he hits the town on Friday night. 10 energon milkshakes to the person who can guess who these stickers belong to. :)

Universe Stormcloud today! glad I passed on Powerglide on Sunday. I love the colors on this one.

Don't hesitate to send me some..

Found myself an ice-cream truck this morning :D

also go the RotF skids and mudflap to go with it :D

Got home from work to find G1 Wreck-Gar :D

Well I would have liked to have said that I have picked up a Binaltech Asterisk Red Alert from ebay but apparently it has disappeared after being mailed from Sydney to Perth. Been nearly three weeks since it apparently was posted.

But at least I did get Encore Ratchet and 3x Figma figurines this month but I WANT MY BTA RED ALERT :(

ROTF legends Tankor, and Skids

I love that ice cream truck!

Mostly wanted to thank Kyle for the Human Alliance Bumblebee I got a few days ago. :D

Also got this last week, comics from that UK online store (TF2 Movie adaptation, Energon Vol 1, Animated Almanac, Maximum Dinobots, TF2 Adventures Vol 1 & 2), and from Kmart I got the 3-pack 'dinner' set and a pencil case for work (am now working in the office, so need one).

For myself and others from my conference trip~

This September, I went online shopping with BBTS just to try if my overseas card would still work. And apparently it does! :D Thanks to Sky Shadow for the tipping, I now have the two animated voyagers - Skywarp and "Longarm", at a very reasonable price along with the animated human figures which were on sale and the animated accessories as well. Not really worth mentioning but for those who thinks that they missed a good sale, you didn't. Coz apart from the current good exchange rate, BBTS just sent an email that they are having a 15% off on several old stocks including this voyager set. So NOW is actually the better time to get them coz they just got cheaper.. ;)

Also in the pic is Sunstorm to complete my animated seekers and ROTF Scalpel. And this time around, k.wong23 deserves the special mention for selling me the classic trucks for my spare set - one for the CC Kit and the other one for the upcoming G3 Trailer to play and display with - and thus keeping all my classics in their mighty minty goodness. And of course, to my good ol' mates, lcz128 and jaydisc for again handling these babies for me.

And lastly, I got a pair of new shirts from JJs:

Optimus Prime Shirt
Soundwave Shirt

:D
