Hey guys I went to sunny Bank one time and there was a japnese dvd shop and when I went in they had a few status like salor moon and other japenese charcters But I saw a masterpiece optimus prime on display next to the status and a bunch of tf dvds so check that place out and ask then if they have transformers when you go by.

Hey guys I was wondering how come goki posted a pic of all the female tf fans and they neaver post not even on the old form the only one who did was melchinyi not even blackarcracniah posted also there was a member named reiyeled or something like that he lived on the gold coast but I have never seen him post or anything

There is an asian (chinese) DVD shop in the Sunnybank Plaza, that has had some Chinese edition TFs DVDs from time to time. Never seen the MP Optimus, but it is possible.

Fans come and go all the time. And the female demographic is like 2-5 percent of the total fandom, so don't expect more than one or two here at any one time. Besides, gender shouldn't be an element of concern here. We are here as fans of Transformers, it shouldn't matter what gender, colour, race, etc any of us are. Labelling members into categories only has the potential to cause problems, so stop asking these type of questions.

100% with Griff, we need to get over the "OMG GRL!!!" that dominates any fandom its childish. BEWBS :P

Do they still sell mp starscream and g1 movie repaints? Because I can't find them at tru there is nothin' left there.

if it's nothing left, then most likely it has run dry or awaiting further stock

I think that I have been able to decode what you said there so here it goes:

The Botcon 07 set "Games of DECEPTION" was sold as a 5 figure Collector's box set (with techspec cards and instructions, etc) and in a bagged set (also with techspec cards and instructions).

I am not sure how much the individual figures were but the box set was US$300 which at the time was considered to be very expensive. However that set now sells for like 300% or more of its original price on Ebay (That's US$900+).

*sigh* looks like benben's given up English and reverted back to benbenese... (-_-)

Wouldn't that make him a benbenorator? (:

Just watched the animated movie for the first time in maybe 15 years. Really enjoyed it but why were there only four dinobots? Where was snarl?

Can someone do a review on the classic's construticons on youtube or post in ratbat's reviews. Also someone said that this figure was also released in tru in the u.s is that true?

Snarl appears in three shots in Transformers The Movie.

#1: Dino mode - Autobot City. When the Autobots are receiving communique from Moonbases 1 and 2 and deciding to fly and stop Unicron, Snarl can be seen standing with the other Dinobots/Autobots. He's next to Grimlock and behind Perceptor on the right hand side of the screen when the Autobots/Dinobots are facing stage left.

#2 Dino mode - Autobot City. When the Decepticons begin attacking Autobot City, just before Ultra Magnus says "to the shuttles!" and you see the Autobots below being shot at, Snarl is amongst them. He is on the mid-left of the screen.

#3 Robot mode - Quintesson cruiser. As the Quintesson cruiser carrying Hot Rod, Kup & the Dinobots is landing on the planet Junk - as you see it corkscrewing in descent, you can see the Dinobots standing on the bridge, Snarl is amongst them.

That's it. They're very brief appearances and you'll probably need to use the freeze-frame/slow-play function to see him properly.

As to why Snarl is only in the movie.... I can think of reasons why Snarl got left out but they'd just be theories. I don't know think there is a definitive answer.

Please elaborate.:confused:

"Scatman" got that nickname because of his talent at scat singing, a style used in jazz

scatman?? that sounded kinda gross!

which is what Roller was getting at... I was just trying to keep it clean

ooooh... ok... I had no idea what he was going on about... now all the puzzle pieces are in place... yes!

Who voiced pretender jazz?

Can someone give me a link to a preorder on hlj for the new classics

Hey guys just wondering does spoilerg1 prime and g1 megatron get reawaked in beastwars?/spoiler

Benben, your post pretty much falls into the 'Spoilers' category. Please provide a spoiler warning as a few members are currently watching Beast Wars and would hate to have it spoiled by a random post.

Watch the DVDs and find out. Or you can always type 'wiki Beast Wars' to read the wikipeida entry and spoil it for yourself.

The store must have imported or bulk buy from America and hence selling them there benben

It is not uncommon for US store exclusives to turn up in other chains outside the USA. We received stock of the Kaybee Toys exclusive Machine Wars line here in Australia, despite the fact that this company has no presence here.

oh god don't remind me. Back in 1997 when Machine Wars was a US KayBee exclusive line, non-US fans like me went and imported all the figures from the US... only later to have them come out everywhere here like a plague and shelf-warmed for a while. Meh.

I imported most of the original BW line, well before most fans here were into (or back into collecting). There was that wonderful eight month delay, so I just went and got to getting the toys (and show) from the USA.

...then we switched from US to UK Hasbro distribution and missed like 30 toys. I managed to nab all the non-TM show characters before the switch, but had a ****** of a time getting some of the missed toys (especially Cybershark). Tigatron has, to this day, never been released in Australia. Ditto for the non-TM Blackarachnia.

...yeah... I ended up getting those missed figures from Japan and the UK.
