damn, I wants me a Fearswoop!
Well.. given the downright abysmal state of which a certain box arrived to me today I was lucky to salvage anything from that was able to stay in its box.. :( Some people need to learn that loose items floating around in a box with ONE strip of tape over it isnt going to stand up to the assult and battery of the worlds postal services.

And Masterpeice Skywarp... box.. so so.

A good but not so good way to start December.... Plenty of Zoid kits in that box faired much worse than the TF's :(
...I still can't believe Hasbro repainted a toy in the colours of Hooligan and named it "Fearswoop." <sigh> (>_>)
Got a Sandstorm today... plastic toed version but still cool.

Apparently Hasbro no longer has the copyright to call it hooligan, so its fearswoop !Quote:

No pics cos I'm lazy :D
So paint it yellow and make it a proper Fearswoop homage! (-_-) At least it's only a repaint of an existing mould and thus very easy to pass up. ;) I was much more aggravated with Energon Downshift and Universe Tankor (the latter of which I boycotted in favour of Henkei Decepticon Octane ;))!Quote:

But hey as long as you're happy with your purchase, s'all good. :)
Nice pick up Raider. I also have this book and find it an indispensable resource.Quote:

Yep it is a great book but it would be better if it had packaging pictures for every entry.Quote:

Also not pictured HA Bumblebee and a ROTF movie frame I received for my bday months ago!
got movie 2 mixmaster yesterday and he's pretty good, not that amazing tho. and people were making out he was really hard to transform but he isnt
but i must admit his design is looking more amazing as i play with him. a very smart transformation!
None G1 from Japan? Or you're not into G1? Just curious.....:pQuote:

You wouldn't find G1s in regular Japanese toy stockists (e.g.: department stores); you'd have to go to specialist collectable stores and their prices wouldn't be cheap either.Quote:

Anyway, I got my first December acquisition today! Picked up the grey Megatron トランスフォーマー shirt from Jayjays today. :)
Yeh I agree. When I was in Akihabara earlier this year, I checked out the specialty shops and looked at a few G1 boxed examples but they we're very expensive and obviously with online shopping so accessible, I couldn't help think of what I could get cheaper and not have to haul it back home undamaged.Quote:

Standard ROTF was pretty pricey too, in Toyworld and Yodobashi camera, you sort of expect it to be cheaper but its regular Toyworld prices. I did manage to pick up some MP seekers cheap because of "a damage boxo" :p and some cheap Henkei in the cheap shops down the backalleys.
Although I saw this Metal Gundam figure that I really like, it was very expensive so I passed on it but it has stayed with me for a while so I'll have to scratch that itch I think

There goes my plan to Japan then. Or perhaps I can still go there and try the 'real' ramen....yummm....:pQuote:

It is a great book. I also have both GI Joe versions from Mark Bellomo aswell.Quote:

Got me an animated Waspinator and a Sentinel Prime for one of my sons for $14.88 each from Perth Target yesterday.
I like the waspinator figure but I found the transformation very simple. It seemed to be a case of fold his legs together then stand him up.
Picked up a pair of TF shorts from Jayjays today. Not cheap. :(
Which ones were they Goki? I have been waiting for these. Oh, and how expensive were they?Quote:

Wow, his gun is EPIC. Any chance of a face close-up, gamblor?
I got given a Philosophy of Transformers book the other day.
Just started reading it. It seems interesting
I'd prefer the face plate version but don't mind this one.Quote:

Agreed. The ROTF Legends sized figures are a big improvement over previous Legends sized class. Can't wait for Devastator when he's released early next year.Quote:

Soundwave $16.88

Dirge needs to be redeco'd into Cyclonus, he can even have bunny ears thanks to the way he transforms! He also has pouty lips.
