Note that he says he's holding a Diaclone Bluestreak, Bruticus - I'm not certain that HD actually 'got' it. :)Quote:

Just got this as a late birthday present from one of my sisters. :)

other than that the red was much duller than whats the normal red for prime.
well i didnt play with him for very long. transformed once and then back to his alt mode. guess i'll have to play with him a bit more before i can change my mind.
i want a new lance >_<
Wowzers, how much did that entire haul set you back? Must have been worth single dollar ;)Quote:

Yup. Sky Shadow is right (with good attention to detail). To be sure, I was really tempted, but here are the reasons, as documented in my blog, why I didn't pick the piece up in the end.Quote:

I read on your blog post that you saw a white Sunstreaker. That's the only Sideswipe/Sunstreaker variation I'm missing!
Jaw dropping acquisitions HD :eek:
There are Japanese Firecons now????Quote:

I love the Scope-Man, makes me wonder what he would have been like as a Transformer character - Autobot or Decepticon :p
He would've been a looker. :cool:Quote:

Some recent arrivals:
http://i475.photobucket.com/albums/r...2/BILD1876.jpg
- Deluxe Insecticons (Barrage, Chop Shop, Ransack and Venom) - no weapons but all in good condition except Barrage who has broken off horns
- Trypticon - main body only, but good enough for me :)
- Jetfire! Only missing rifle and rifle clip
- MISB Twincast and Flipsides
- MIP Botcon Banzai-tron - now TF2 Bludgeon has a sparring partner :p
It's been a while and I have a bit of a back log but this arrived today:
http://kupscigar.com/2010/270410.JPG
I chose this one because it was cheap and apparently the Hasbro/TFC reissue has a more accurate red than Encore.
Hey folks, been off for a while due to various shit (life bah!) but back on board and slowly gathering random crap again.

US Special edition to go with the optimus i don't have :)
More stuff is in the mail... i hope hahaha
Something from the Takara back catalogue too so I hope it comes.
Will certainly tell the shop location to anyone who wants to visit it. Just a note that the seller does not display the 'good stuff' in the shop, and like most parts of asia, one actually has to talk to the seller(s) and show that one is a genuine collector (rather than scalper) before he/she will let you know whether they have prized pieces for sale from home or in the 'back room' of the shop. If the buyer smells like a scalper, chances are the seller is just going to say that the prized pieces are not for sale.Quote:

Thanks for the kind words gamblor! :DQuote:

Thanks for the kind word optimus1! :pQuote:

I think I may have a spare Rifle at home. Let me know if you want it and I will have a look for it. I think I know where it is.Quote:

I'm curious to see who arrives first to be crowned my 300th figure, it's insane how quickly a collection starts building in number when one actually counts them all, so many figures but still so many to acquire :D I love Transformers.
Nicely done, glad they fianlly arrived, Guzzle is the tank.Quote:

And you'r 300th figure could be Skorpinok if you got the cash ;)
Guzzle also features in Last Stand of the Wreckers!
http://tfwiki.net/w2/images2/a/a7/La...ewrecruits.jpg
1AZRAEL1: Yes that does mean your Birthday Pressie has arrived and no, I'm not going to tell you what it is. :p
Guzzle, that's his name, don't you hate it when you know the name of something and you just can't seem to get it out? :p
Kup: I didn't know that he was in Last Stand of the Wreckers, annoyingly I'm not particularly privy to a lot of the Comic-verse but that's not to say I'm not open to it. It is nice though that the lesser known/used characters are used in the comics so that they too get a chance at stardom. :D
ALTERNITY CONVOY (RED)

So imagine my surprise when instead it ended up being Classics Astrotrain, Grimlock and Mirage I got from eBay last week. Yay!
Arrived alot earlier then I expected since I got them sent standard. Not an unwelcome surprise at all :D
Though I do wonder why the RK package hasn't gotten here yet, it's been in the country a day or two already :(
Ah well, maybe monday.
