New stuff for a new month, new year and new decade.
Not to be nitpicky, but the new decade doesn't actually start until 2011. :pQuote:

I was discussing this with Zed recently. It seems that the year when a decade or millenium starts is mostly decided by popular oppinion than actual year counting.
You gotta love that wacky Roman calendar of ours.
Universe Countdown and Robot Heroes Optimus Primal/Tarantalus thanks to Toys R Us :)
I cant believe I kept on postponing on getting Countdown! But glad I did, got him at $35 :D

Man you can find some good bargains from Canada but that wait really is a killer isn't it. I similarly waited 3 months for my second Menasor to arrive from there - it was sent by "Xpresspost (LOL) International".Quote:

o damn. I thought that i wasn't going to win so I bought 1 anyway. Now i have 2 -.- . But there is a difference between the one won and the one bought; the one bought has a removable and shiny sleeve while the one won is just a normal dvd
Nice pillows! Are these official licensed products?Quote:

Aaah I see it has arrived kup, that was quick delivery ei? Congrats on them Dlx insecticons! So jealous of that Alt Jaguar Ravage rampagesss, been trying to find one here in Phils :(:(, Still no luck. Wonder if those pillows Gok got comes in G1 designs?
Anyways Ive wandered around Greenhills ( for any fellow Filos who might be going on Holis PM me for details on where in there as there's about 15 stores in that area alone to look/buy from) and managed to find zip of my intended must buys ....
So out of frustration:mad: I bought a
MISB Magmatron
Henkei Dinobot
ROTF legends wheelie
Rescue Kaiser Jaruga loose
They had them on 10% discount for cash payment so its cheaper.... kup sorry but at the moment Bludgeon is being shortpacked since he is being sold quite cheaper so I havent managed to snag you one, shouldve gotten all the ones at toyfair as there was about only four sold throughout (got 2):(
Deceptic_optics I got your stuff! hehehe too lazy to do PMs
Wheel-J: I'm not sure as they were a gift... but I suspect not. The pillow cases might be legit. Don't quote me on this though. :p
My first for the year clear Starscream and cassettes.

There's also an alternate robot mode transformation for Punch's legs that's reflected on his box art and the front of those instructions you have there. It helps explain why there's aspects of the toy can that he doesn't otherwise use (it's in the red box below):
