I got a bunch of MP-04's shipped out here from Japan in the first release of them, they rock, still have 3 unopened in mint condition.
Also managed to get a bunch of MP-03's as well, still have a bunch of those in box too.

Figured if I was gunna get 1 I should get a few.

Apologies for the size, but they are all mint in box cept for the one opti I had to open, oh and a Ultra Magnus.

wow... i spose its good to have back ups?

More like it's good to have money. ;) :D

You should come over and have have a look at my doubles... :D

But yes, very nice line to double up on. Except for the MP03s that is

6 MP-3s?
4 MP-4s?
What the Hell?!

Why would someone want so many multiples of the same figure? Each to their own I guess... :confused:

It makes that person look more like a scalper than a fan/collector to me. And yeah... greedy too. :p

I'm sure turtleboy has a number of similar MPs too...
some people just love collecting Masterpieces only....nothing wrong with that

Six Greenscreams? One was too many for me. Oh well, whatever floats his boat. It's his hard earned, not mine (:

Has he even transferred to this board. I havent seen him post not once since weve transferred the board this other universe...

Well guess he likes to display them in their different mode and keep one MISB. Wonder what his job is...... I need a change in career...:o

Wow.

Imagine the other TF's he could have bought for the amount spent on MP doubles.

cos scalpers make toys more expensive for the rest of us? Again, not saying that this guy is necessarily a scalper... and 'sif you'd scalp Takara MP Starscream (especially after Hasbro's MP Starscream). But yeah... scalpers deserve nothing less than a good solid kick to the janglies.

I wonder if he would sell me one of his BT smokescreens cheap? :rolleyes:

Ha I'll never give up the BT's,

Easy story behind the multiples, I was bringing a few in for my mates and I and figured I'd add a couple in case anyone else rocked up that was keen. I was able to bring back a bunch extra for the same postage and by buying more I got a better price break on the whole shipment.

Always meant to sell them just never got around to it, those who know me will put this down to just being slack. My wife would be very very keen to see the multiples gone. Though nowdays I love to see them all lined up surrounding the rest, provides a good backdrop.

I've opened one MP-04 and one MP-03 and a Ultra Magnus that had it's box damaged in shipping. Hence I needed a second in MISB. Also I received a duplicate BT Grimlock, in an Ebay transaction that went bad, so I opened it up too. MP-03, MP-02, and Grimlock take pride of place on my desk at work (where I spend the most time in one place). Opti sits proudly on my bookshelf.

Never realised the TF communtiy was so large, I just always collected what I needed and kept them all to my self, I have a bunch of G1's opened complete and in box from my childhood at my folks place carefully put away and stored in the roof with smelly stuff to keep the critters away. Once I move into a bigger place with the wife I might pull them all out. Also have a TF breakfast tray I still eat off from time to time.

Now I know you are all around, I'll let people know when I'm bringing a bunch in again, might be a while as the collection has slowed down since the house hunting began, gotta save the coin to create a TF Room.

you would scalp it a better looking version has come out at a more affordable price:p

the resale on greenscream is still quite good even after the hasbro release in the better color scheme

opened takara mp-3's still sell for more than sealed hasbro mp-3's on ebay:eek:

Don't let my wife find out...

Heheheh, TF room, most of the collectors here now have that :D:D. kinda like our little retreat getaway, hideaway wonderland toy store. You definitely should have it!! I personally would say it takes the stress out after a busy day...

Oh and welcome to the forum MasterCyl Mabuhay! Do post more pics of your collection in the members collection area. We all love viewing collections. Just start your own collection thread and Paulbot is certain to add it up with the archives :)

http://www.420magazine.com/gallery/d..._chong_001.jpg I didn't know Mexicans were Transfans? :D

I call my TF room my man room so I can do my manly things in it by myself:D, it has worked so far as my wife keeps clear of it or could it be she is just keeping clear of me:p:D. Either way I keep happy in my man room.:D

welcome to the forum MasterCyl...nice lot

Yeah, my TFs have their own room - it's the Transformers room. I do all kinds of manly things in there like playing with toys. :p

During G1 Transformers were distributed in Central America by a company called IGA. Mexican Devastator has "show accurate" red eyes! :)

Check out Fred's Variants Quest for a page dedicated to Mexican-exclusive Transformers. There's a Transformers fan called Maz who's done some reviews on Central and South American TFs (e.g.: Puffer) with some pretty nice photos.

Puffer... hehe :D (Sorry, I'm still in the Cheech & Chong frame of mind :D)
