OK, here's the deal - if you had to select one or two (max) Transformers that are currently available at Australian retail, which ones would you buy?
Oh, and you have a budget so no MP Optimus, TC, or most Leader class toys. Think Voyager or smaller.
Yes, I'm trying to think of present ideas :p
FOC Soundwave and some disks for him. Ravage and Rumble.
Not much out in the shops.
FOC Soundwave with the datadisc packs would be my option. There's just so little out there unless you manage to get lucky with old stuck.
Or Prime Legion/Cyberverse toys and playsets.
Yup, what he saidQuote:

I would go for deluxe prime vehicon...
Maybe 2....
I've just picked up this thread,
the first thing that came to mind was Prime Wheeljack. followed by soundwave, Ratchet.
If you can find it, I really like the Prime deluxe Hotshot, it's a good mold and quite fun to transform back and forth. also the vehicon.
all good toys in my opinion.
Well for me most of my Prime toys end up as Classics, and I already have a Wheeljack, and truthfully prefer all the other colours mould comes in. So, yeah, didn't even cross my mind.Quote:

Already have the Prime and FOC line that is here in retail so would just build a vehicon army i guess
Actually if the person is into the FOC game, then I'd also recommend the Shockwave, prime or Jazz, they are fairly simple but they are good representations of the characters.
Hot Shot and Knock Out.
Eehhh... personally I can't really justify getting a repaint/retool of FE Bumblebee (not with so many toys coming up that I'm saving up for :p). I can certainly see the merit as a gift idea though -- objectively speaking I think the mould and colours look better than Bumblebee. Did they fix the problem with that lower breast panel? (the one under the headlight - really stiff on Bumblebee and is nigh impossible to separate)Quote:

FOC Optimus and Dead end (Prime)
Thanks for all the suggestions guys :) I've written most of these down and then I'm going hunting on the weekend.
Oh I was just thinking, if the recipient is into lego type stuff, maybe a Kre-O Transformer? You can still find them on clearance at Toyworld (and maybe other places as well I'm not sure), and would keep the person busy for a while. :D
TF Prime Knock Out and Soundwave or Airachnid (both at my local Target but a bloody rip)
TELL ME ABOUT IT!!!Quote:
