Well no point voting on best acquisitions title this year... doublespy has won it! (well at least he is going to get my vote!)
Good title.:) my poor wallet is going through a lot of devastation at the moment.:(

Got Telemochas from Gutmans Heavy and other beast wars from eBay, $25 aud TG Waspinator :D
Hah! It wasn't me though as I posted in the June acquisition thread not realizing today is the 1st already:p (You can tell I'm not an accountant by trade)
The mod who kindly created this thread gets all the credit:D
Waiting on the DX9 upgrade for combiner wars megatron and maketoys cupola. July is a good month :)
Nice pickup on the Tigerhawk man!:)Quote:

I made the mistake of skipping these ones when they originally got released. Been chasing after them ever since :o Ideally, I'd like to upgrade a few to better condition ones, but I'm content with the ones I have for now.

And this guy!! Grimlock is one of my fondest memories as a kid. I still remember seeing him on the shelf, and excitedly picking him up :D
And this is an awesome specimen. No yellowing to the plastic, and the clamshell has barely a mark on it. Looks like he came straight from the shelf. Only a few more to go before I complete my personal G2 MOSC collection

I thought you were a contestant for a second, I don't watch it religiously but I am impressed with some of the food they turn out.
Question, was your experience real time or was there stopping and starting to get good angles and interview the contestants?
Originally I planned to get 50 Transformers in June, but unfortunately I wasn't able to get these 2 in time (however I did kinda get 50 if you included the 2 robot heroes)
But anyways, here's what I got today in the mail :D
https://41.media.tumblr.com/5dd1adaa...irsjo1_540.jpg
ROTF Breakdown, and the big mighty Robots In Disguise Scourge :D (both from Paulbot) no paying $299 (or even $199) for me (funny enough Scourge was 1/4 of Myer's RRP)
I want to know which Transformer you had with you at the time. Was it a BWTF?Quote:

Thanks to griffin for Nova Prime & FunPub comics, Lio Convoy from FunPub, G1 Cassettes from eBay & Megatran for Devastator!!!!!!
Picked up latest TF comics yesterday. Store sold me a spare copy of Combiner Wars Part 5 (subscription cover variant), which I don't really care about, but I was in a hurry at the time so I just paid for the pile of comics without looking through them individually. Anyone want this spare cover version (I haven't even read it)? I'll see if I can refund it...
Combiner Wars Titan Class Devastator
Combiner Wars Legends Class Rodimus

On Thursday I had a sizeable & weighty package arrive from the persistently awesome team at Hobby Link Japan:

...contained within was a host of Transforming fun!
- (Re-Re-Rerelease) TakaraTomy Masterpiece: MP-10 - Convoy
- TakaraTomy Unite Warriors: UW-01 - Superion/Aerialbots
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CI5PemKUwAAmtl1.jpg:large
I was somewhat "Brow-beaten" by the lovely local TF peeps on Twitter, :p, into just coming to my senses and Preordering MP-10 - I LOVE my MP-04, always will, but holy crap were people right in just how much refinement is present in this mold! :eek:
He's lovely to transform, pose & repeat - The lack of heft makes him a little less cumbersome to handle compared to his predecessor and he just looks like a bloody tough Bot, funnily enough not diminished in any way by standing next to MP Magnus who is just a Brick-****house! :p:D
UW-01 Superion/Aerialbots are a fun bunch too; Simple transformations, great articulation, but once "United" they kinda loose a bit of magic...
Sure, Superion looks great (Barring the hands & feet which look ridiculous) but I find the hip/thigh ratchets don't have enough meaningful detents to produce decent dynamic postures - He looks fine standing in an upright, idle pose but move a leg out by one detent and the "Kid-friendliness" becomes apparent. :o
Much like the enjoyment I derive from the early Power Rangers: Megazord toys, however, pulling him apart & putting him back together is his best feature and as a whole a far superior execution compared to that of poor 'ole FoC: Bruticus. ;):D
Hot on the heals of this lot though, was a rather miraculous series of finds today between TRU & Myer. :)
At TRU I found Alpha Bravo, completing my Classicsverse Aerialbots :cool: and at Myer I found CW Rook, First Aid, Blades & Streetwise! :eek::D

...I can't wait to getting around to opening them up and mucking around with them, now I've just gotta get a hold of Hotspot! ;):)
