Didn't it used to be benben's unofficial "job" to begin the monthly acquisitions threads? :rolleyes:
I hope people realise it's meant to be a joke :)
I just picked up Omega Supreme but I can't play with it because I'm at work.
Had a moment of excitement when I started opening the HLJ box and the first thing I saw was Jetfire!! But that was just the battle scene art on the back of the box :rolleyes:
Nice package arrived from the USA today - inside was a bulk lot of animated...
Deluxe Prowl
Deluxe Ratchet
Deluxe Bumblebee
Deluxe 2-pack Optimus Prime
Voyager Bulkhead
Voyager Optimus Prime
Voyager Grimlock :D
Yeah I already had Prowl and Ratchet but the guy wouldn't split up the lot so I'm trying to sell them on at cost (Bulkhead too as I plan to get the Leader one). As usual works out to about $20 per deluxe and $30 per voyager.
PICS!

nice one pulse..always wanted to get him!!
it's gonna be with JRX next
Thanks Icy :) but it looks like you've got plenty of new arrivals to tide you over til then :D.
Well, no RK package for me today afterall :(
But, hand delivered by my wife's friend after her trip to Japan, was this beauty, my first Beast Wars toy, TM-SP DX Convoy!
http://www.australian-postcodes.com/tm-sp-dx.jpg
She dinged the box a bit in her luggage, but i'm not complaining, he only cost $25 including shipping + COD charges! I would have got a Megatron (same price) but feared the boxes were too big .. and was right, talk about a waste of space! Also this toy has surprisingly the worst case of twist tie hell i've seen since i got back into TF's! But the end result was worth it, he really shows me how good a large size figure can be without electronics!
From Paul today..(thanks)
- Universe Downshift....looking cooler with each repaint variant!
BigW's early sale...@ $19
- Movie Salvage
- Movie Stealth Bumblebee
Yes yes...both are spares. Tempted to get the voyagers but thinking they won't be missed.
Has anyone found Stealth BB and Salvage in melbourne yet???
Meanwhile i got the TRU : mudflap and inferno....
took the plunge and got a MA-21 leader prime. i think the differences to the normal one are more than worth it to pick him up. looks great in alt mode.

Iceburn got the Stealth Bumblebee for me today, and I gave him Universe Downshift (finally got rid of it) so it evened out my total number.
I was playing with Omega last night and it's very cool to finally have one, but the motor's noisy huh?
stealthbee
henkei hot rodimus
3 micromasters from battle patrol set
woot.
Barely enough time tonight to get Bulkhead out of the box let alone Meister!

From Unky Iceburn and the ever so lovely folk at Kmart.
EDIT: Crap...knew I'd forget something in my bleary state. G2 Green Slag from the Iceman as well, who I'm renaming 'Slug' to differentiate from his G1 brother and to enforce individuality amongst my Tf army.

First up....
Extreme right (Universe Downshift and Movie Stealth Bumblbee from BigW) are what i've mentioned earlier. From DirtyDigger (Animated 2pack, Bumblebee and Ratchet). The rest are from the Kmart Sale!! - Yes, I've opened up Bumblebee and Prowl...the others (spares) will be opened today
http://img68.imageshack.us/img68/1199/p7030538gi9.jpg
Totally Awesome night guys!
This is from Kmart too and for my wife-to-be:
(can't seem to find the one that was on the first few pages of the catalogue!) I'm going hunting for it again today....

is that spare voyager prime for me ... :rolleyes:
woo! i gots me two henkai crystal convoys and voyager animated prime. :D
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...6/IMGP0063.jpg
Ooooh. Envy on the Crystal Convoys... is one for sale? :rolleyes:
I'm going to do one big update that spans back to late May, which I've held off doing due to the board's pic issues, so I ask the purists to forgive me for not breaking this up into the appropriate, separate, acquisition threads:
1. First up, at the end of May, LCZ128 and I ordered Takara's two Battle Mode (aka Premium) figs, Leader Prime and Bumblebee.
http://lindalane.com/temporary/tf/2008061.jpg
2. Next, spread out through June, I grabbed Animated Wave 1 and 2 Deluxes, the 2 pack, and Voyager Prime (the last, courtesy of STL, my errand boy):
http://lindalane.com/temporary/tf/2008062.jpg
3. In between some of those purchases, I grabbed my first MP, the venerable MP4. Very cool. Although the fact that the front facia of the cab in alt mode is not flush is almost unforgivable.
http://lindalane.com/temporary/tf/2008063.jpg
4. I scored some extra Hasbro Classics Voyagers from the Myer sale (ignore those Henkei's. It was too high up to separate for the pic):
http://lindalane.com/temporary/tf/2008064.jpg
5. July 1st, Alpha Trion and Weirdwolf arrived, ALMOST completing my Classics, only leaving Clear Mirage to be acquired.

6. Last night, we had an absolute ball at Kmart. We were out to 3AM and due to our ruthless price matching and cashier error, I'm positive Kmart lost money due to our visit :D. Right before, Digger passed on the Lego AT-AT he grabbed for me earlier in the week, and I put a Millennium Falcon on lay-by! (w00t! Excuse the stock photo. I'll post a more personal photo once I've paid it off ;)). I, like the rest of us, also grabbed a bunch of Animated at RIDICULOUS PRICES ($19 for Voyagers, $18 for Deluxes) which I only purchased in order to return my previously purchased-at-full-retail-priced figures. Again, I ask the purists me, this time for the Non-TF acquisitions. It's all just so much more impressive in one post :)

7. This morning, I did some more price matching around reducing the price of my existing collecting and got these two from TRU for the combined price of $49.66 (Thanks Big W Catalog!)
http://lindalane.com/temporary/tf/2008068.jpg
8. Now, best for last. I got this in June, and again, while it arguable belongs in the Non-TF section, this one I'm sure even the purists will forgive. Inspired by gamblor and LCZ, I got me a "piece o' glass"!
I did a lot of "umm"-ing and "ahh"-ing about how to approach putting my collection in glass, and decided that the Ikea Detolf was the best way for me to go for now. It's cheap ($179), looks nice, and I can get three of them for about the same price as one larger piece of glass, like Gamblor's. Also, I figured for $180, it was a good starter piece, if only to help me evaluate future glass purchases. Regardless of all of that, I'm thrilled! Here she is:
http://lindalane.com/temporary/tf/2008069.jpg
I'll update my collection thread with more detailed pics of the shelf's contents.
That's it!!! It's great to have the board back at capacity!!!
Beautiful Jay. :) After seeing lcz's glass cabinet last night and now yours I would so rush out and buy one tonight....if I had the room.:(
Good score on those TRU Voyagers as well. Hanging to find them myself.
So TRU will match the Big W on the exclusive re-paints eh? Thanks for the info Jay. Do I just show the check out chick the catalog or do I need to hit up customer service?
Got me this lot from K-mart
http://img398.imageshack.us/img398/2528/30708jz1.jpg
Warpath and Storm Surge were only $10.39 each thanks to a price error and the 20% off on top :)
that's it, cheers Jay I'll try to nab Inferno after work.
Urrgh my Starscream has horrible face paint, looks like his mascara is running!
Movie Stealth Bumblebee and Inferno
Animated voyager Prime and Ratchet
Takara reissue G1 Targetmaster Kup with Wheelie
