one very happy chappy!
janda :)
Just got these from RK
TFP Dreadwing
TFP Ironhide
Skyquakedreadwing is awesome straight out of the pack. Robot mode is very poseable and just looks amazing. Seeker mode is just as impressive with minimal kibble for ascoutcommander. Only one drawback is legs can pop off during transformation due to the upper thigh swivel so close to the ball joint. First impressions 9.5/10. Hopes for a skyquake repaint. Haven't opened ironhide yet
Will post pics and more detailed review this Arvo after work
Oh and arms tuck in more in alt mode. Package is unsurprisingly mistransformed
:)
No pics because I haven't found my SD Card....
TF Prime Cyberverse Commander Starscream :) and non TF related, my Kevlar Cargo Pants for motorbike riding.
More pics of this weeks "apprehensions"
I must say that Commander Dreadwing looks amazing! Leaves 'transvestite' Screamer for dead!
BW Tasmania Kid, Activators Animated Starscream, HA Icepick, and TFPRiDE Knock Out and Vehicon. Screamer and Icepick were ¥105 each.:D
Thoughts on the latter two to come when I have time to fool around with them.
The long wait ended yesterday but the payments will continue -> MP09v2 thru to MP11.

Aaaand.. Hot Rod was broken before he left the box (note the bare pin directly behind Hot Rod's head)

I haven't transformed him yet to see what this will affect :(

Armada Issue #5
Energon Issue #20
Energon Issue #23
Energon Issue #24
Energon Issue #26

Went to shops buy lunch, but ended up with Generations Wheeljack for $15 from KMart.
Pretty rare indeed that I splurchase a TF figure. Think DOTM Hatchet was the last one...
And in case you were concerned... I made some sandwiches when I got back to work.
got home today to find this had been delivered from Brisbane and totally stoked with the condition it is in.:cool:

Original 1980's issue of thrust.:D
http://i1219.photobucket.com/albums/...l/DSC04352.jpg
does need a little TLC as arm joints are a bit worn and nose cone has been chewn on a bit, and have already ordered new stickers. but this is my first Original G1 acquisition which I'm totally happy with as it took some time to find a good one at a fairly cheap price too. also have ordered a original G1 Ramjet from the Netherlands which I'm also waiting on to put these two guy's together.
^^^ awesome stuff.. best seeker IMO. (i think he was my first seeker too)
First g1 ey?...hmmmm. could be the start of something:rolleyes:
those stickers look good to me. and a nose cone shouldn't be too hard to come by if it does start to bother you..
Picked up a TF:P Legion Vehicon or three... Completing my Army of Vehicons and a nice even total Number of 12!!

Thanks Grock,yes could be the start of it all. yer stickers are not in bad shape, but have already ordered the new repro labels and a spare body from the U.S. to fix that nose cone prob. but in all am one happy crankster.:D:DQuote:

i bought a G1 loose thrust a little while ago.... i've gotta get some repro labels for him though.
lol @ cat's post
janda :)
I am addicted to United at the moment. These things are just SO pretty!
Just got these today. The picture doesn't do them justice. They really are so beautiful in the flesh. Bit disappointed that the plastic bubble is a bit scuffed on both. :mad:

thanks janda, found the repro labels on eBay and at a pretty decent price, i paid $8.95 U.S. for some new ones and they include the wing and tail fin labels as well. so it will be an all round refit. will post some new pics as soon as i re decal him up.Quote:

To start of April, 1x DOTM Leader Bumblebee arrived for me today thanks to Arcee.
Swung by Wollongong TRU today. Couldn't help myself. It has to be better than my Takara version right?
Right? :)
Image gone
My new T shirt came in today..... of course I HAD to buy it :)

They are indeed nice figures, although I personally paid too much for my United Wheeljack (AU$38! :eek:). About 2 weeks after I paid that price for Utd Wheeljack the Generations toy came out at my local Kmart for $25! :eek: FML. :( (T-T)
IMO the Takara version is better in some ways, but the Hasbro one is better in others. I've posted some comparison photos and comments here. :D Also keep in mind that the Takara one is more expensive, especially now that the Hasbro one is on sale at TRU. :) So in terms of value for money, I think the Hasbro one is gooderer.
Got a used one of those old keyring versions of G1 Brawn for $3 with the intention of scrounging the arms for my original Brawn which has been missing his arms for as long as I can remember, now I just have to remember where the Hell he ever ended up...
If anyone wants the Brawn keyring let me know. He's missing his arms, (obviously) decals and the actual keyring part, and he right leg doesn't sit in position in vehicle mode properly but it would probably be alright for a kitbash or repaint.
I FINALLY got my copy of the hardcover Last Stand Of The Wreckers yesterday.
Yes, yesterday.
Diamond, for some unknown reason, kept dicking my LCS around, and while acknowledging it had been ordered and they had it in stock, just weren't sending it.
Unbelievable.
Bunch of stuff from Krayt arrived.
Matrix FE Prime
NYCC prime two pack
TFCC over run
TFCC driftpool
And some PCC stuff
PRIDE Cliffjumper hopped into the Prime cabinet today. :) The "worried puppet" cover art is so gold. :p

A few more randoms.. HM's thanks to Blackie
Jazz for fifty bucks and the guy chucked in some empty boxes. I already had barrage but the box and paperwork were part of the deal.:D
