Picked up rts bumblebee and pcc steam hammer today and shadow scyther arrived from gdmetro.

While I should fiddle with him a bit more, I do quite like him. I just wish he came with his own gun so he could be a science sniper. That said, he's been repurposed into robot Adam Savage.

not many to go now...
I bought a new Transformer yesterday. He is white, has a bit of red...You get the drift
Well, I picked up another RtS Jazz and a RtS Grappel (for Fungal) on the way to work this morning, but didn't get the Drift. :DQuote:

Congrats on getting Grappel btw. That toy is damn nigh-impossible to find! Mebbe next time we meet up I can take comparison photos of RtS and United Grappel/le? (and remind to actually TAKE the photos next time, unlike last time when you brought Hasbro Magmatron over and I totally forgot to take comparison pics with Takara Magmie... :p :p)
Anyway, my first TF acquisition of the month:
1: Transformers drinking bottle
2: Transformers Energizer batteries. They're just normal Energizer batteries but it has moofie Bumblebee on the card. :p
...can you tell I'm desperate for Transformers stuff after days of endless findings of KO toys? ;)
Ratchet? Skyfire? oooh wait! Red Alert?! :D:pQuote:

Cheers for bringing that to my attention Goki. :o:p
Oh I know what you mean dude with these RTS Voyagers, it's ridiculous how bloody sporadic and sparse these figures are! :mad:
If you'd like Goki?, I'd be more than happy to bring Grapple and Magmatron up to the next Parra fair and I'll definitely remind you to take photos. ;):)
Wow, things must really be dire if you're having to result to purchasing based on Backing Card alone dude, I'll have my fingers crossed for when you arrive in Taiwan mate. ;):)
Cheers GD! :DQuote:

These later wave figures of Generations and Reveal The Shield are stupidly rare or hard to secure - My advice mate would to be to keep your eyes on the Sightings threads and if someone spots anything you're after?, just drop them a PM and see if they can help. ;):)
Both Jazzcomp and UltraMarginal have been on the look out for the RTS Voyagers for others, including my self - Cheers again guys, so maybe get in contact with them dude. :cool:
RtS Jazz & Tracks.
No pics as I'm currently opening them. Too excited.
I..I uh, I purchased ummmm.....waves 1 and 2 of Powercore combiners Commander figures. (Scout &Minicon.)They were 11.99 each at Toyland in the Robina Town Centre.
I feel...dirty.
The rest of all the stuff I purchased in Australia arrived.

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...011Haul03a.jpg
Another view
Now to sort this out and show how many of these items actually ended up in my hands.
^-------------- This is why there are no Grappels in Australia :D:D
haha no not these guys.. they hardley seem worthy to keep MOSC/MISB he got opened up and transformed and then stuck in a box with the rest.. when the time comes they will have their own little corner on the shelfQuote:

Take heart though, Im guessing these will start to crop up once Kmart finally decides to restock their shelves.....keeping my fingers crossed. otherwise be on the lookout in the sightings thread. I myself am having problems locating Wreckgars locally, but I can wait , theyll shelfwarm hopefully later on.:)

2 x Lugnut
1 x Strafe
1 x Grapple
Now you can see why G2 Prime and BBee are pegwarming and the other guys seem non-existent, they're shortpacked to start with - same goes for Grapple whereas Lugnut and Strafe are 'comparatively' easier to locate.
Picked up pcc 2 packs thunderwing, heavytread and undertow from safeway yesterday.
Hopefully they'll still have salvage when I go back next week
Sorted out my Australia trip haul, and this is what I brought back for myself
http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...2011Haul05.jpg
Buster Prime/Jetfire 2 Pack (Loose Complete as the box was too large to bring back)
Battle in Space 2 Pack (Loose Complete)
RtS Perceptor
RtS Grappel
RtS Lugnut
Last of the Wreckers TPB (Australian version)
That's a very impressive haul zippo!!
Shows that we cannot complain about Aussie retail selection.
Did you get to grab windcharger aswell?

Since I'm overseas without my regular acquisition mascot (The Collector), I'm using Beachcomber instead :p
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y22...burgerbot1.jpghttp://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y22...burgerbot2.jpg
And just when I'd nearly given up hope of finding any more legit TFs here, I finally found legit Transformers (that I don't have)! :o It was in this little collectable toy store... I was directed to this main shopping mall, which had nothing but KOs... then I just wandered around until my "toy store homing sense" led me to this place! And guess what? They have Solar Storm Grappel!! I could never find this toy in Sydney -- had to purchase United Grapple, then I finally find Grappel on the other side of the freakin' planet!! (typical)
But anyway, I picked up from this place:
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y22...n_20110403.jpg
+ Universe Overcharge, 20RMB (2.94AUD)
+ Timelines Flareup, 45RMB (6.62AUD)
+ DOTM Deluxe Skids, 120 RMB (17.65AUD)
Not bad for 180RMB (AU$26) IMO... though I've been told that I paid too much and that I could've gotten a better deal if I'd haggled better. I did haggle for Flareup and Skids though cos both are loose w/ no backing card and no instructions and Flareup has no weapons. Evidently my haggling needs more practice. :p
They had other DOTM Deluxes there too - Starscream, Sideswipe, Ironhide... and some car I didn't recognise (Jolt???). But the guy was asking for AU$30 for it (and I was unsuccessful in haggling him down) -- so that was an instant pass. I might as well wait for the toy to come out in Australia and if I still want him - even if I still pay thirty bucks, at least it'll be MOSC w/ paperwork.
Dispite having a horrible weekend, I finally got roung to picking up a (Classics) Dirge.

Classic Transformers vol 3 from eBay at a horrible price.
BW Specs & some free goodies from the irrepressible Goktimus
some b'day pressies from last week :D
still waiting on the big one from my wife..... (oh for the love of god...hurry up usps!!!)

My first acquisitions of the month ... three Beast Wars Neo animation cels.

Is it a bird? Is it a bee? No! It's disco lazer light-show Western Exclusive Recoil baby! :cool:
http://i661.photobucket.com/albums/u..._83/recoil.jpg
Received (or picked up I should say...) the following classics;
Mirage
Bumblebee
Voyager Megs
Voyager Optimus
Glad to hear they arrived GH. ;)
SGB: Didn't know you were a fan of Beast Wars Neo. :) I found that show to be mostly particularly dull until the Unicron story arc at the end. MATRIX BUSTAAAAAAAAH!! :D
Anyway, I went back to that collectable toy store and got a refund for DOTM Skids cos one of the panels wouldn't transform properly. I then purchased DOTM Sideswipe for 130RMB (AU$19.20) and a MISB RtS Lugnut for 150RMB (AU$22.15)!
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y22...on_201104X.jpg
Actually, I've never seen the show. I purchased the BW Neo cels because I liked the artwork.Quote:
