I'M POSTING AGAIN BECAUSE NO ONE SAW MY PIC
Was pleasantly surprised to find a REAL G1 toy at a swapmeet on the weekend.
Assorted op shop/flea market finds

Received TFC#04, 08, 10 and 13. All great condition except the postman has damaged 08's box! Big torn dent in it :-( Not the senders fault either, they bubble wrapped and put foam inside the box but something was jabbed through the side of the cardboard box and hit infernos box. The saddest part is that the rest of the box is in fantastic condition to the point that I can't see any shelf ware at all. So I think I'm in the market for an undamaged one again :-(

Powerdive for Zed - Hotspot for me :)
Some G1 goodness arrived from fellow OTCA-er Chopstick:
Ultra Magnus Cab (can remove Pinkimus from the UM armour), Blurr, Hotspot and Re-issue Sunstorm. From the prices I've seen on ebay, Blurr will remain shieldless for now!
Arrived today TFC #08Inferno, #09Starscream, #18Soundblaster. Thanks Mosdef. These complete my TFC bookstyle collection
nice surprise when I got home from work courtesy of BBTS
1997 Die cast Lion Force Voltron
TF: Prime Wave 2 legion case
After my recent trip to the philippines
FOC wave 1 - AU$16 each
TF:P Voyager Dreadwing - AU$34 (!!)
^ Fair enough then. Still, should look good on the shelf.:)
Picked these up today, (would this count as a TF? probably not)
http://i1229.photobucket.com/albums/...8/IMG_6758.jpg Missed out on the box shot...
http://i1229.photobucket.com/albums/...8/IMG_6757.jpg Bought this as a loose re-issue but i think it's actually real. All plastic and made in Japan?? Still seems in quite good nic
http://i1229.photobucket.com/albums/...8/IMG_6756.jpg
http://i1229.photobucket.com/albums/...8/IMG_6759.jpg and from jimoinj:) a while back
Reissues are real dude. They're not unlicensed fakes or KOs. :) If it's plastic then they'd be original G1s. The reissues were all die-cast metal. There's also a really slight difference between the original and reissue Predaking heads... it's really small... you can stare at the two side by side for ages before noticing it (IIRC it's around where the main head meet the antennae... around that area. Can't remember that the exact difference was, it's that slight... but I do remember noticing something was different).
Finally found Shockwave at my local Target( finally they restocked!!) There was also a Prime and a Jazz but I already have one Jazz waiting for me to pick up from fatbot.
This this would been awesome if it was a bit taller by 3cms, oh and bulkier :p
Got Prime Thundertron and Magnus from Ebay. Optimus truck from TRU!
Looks like a new mould -- but it certainly is very reminiscent of Leobreaker/Leo Prime! Here's hoping it's no where near as crap as that mould! Ultra Magnus looks sweet. *sigh* We still don't even have TFPRiD Vehicon, Knock Out, Airachnid et al. here yet! :mad: :(
AM-19 Unicron
AM-20 Ironhide
GDO Wheelie
Nucleon Quest Convoy
MP-06, MP-11 and MP-11S all arrived safe and sound, playing with them right now, but trying to work out where to put them:confused:
It's a new mould, that will be recoloured in a couple months time as "Leo Prime".
i got optimus maximus today not bad but not that good either.
Did you pay full price on it? I saw one at Myers the other day and couldnt bring myself to go ahead with purchasing it for that much they're asking.... hope this gets on a sale soon.
These arrived from the post yesterday, just posting it today. been busy hehe
From Ebay
AM 20 Ironhide, AM15 Megatron Darkness and 4 microns
