As I hadn't obtained any new TFs for over a month, I decided to go and pick one up.
So I headed to the Big W in Macquarie Centre after uni was done for the day and obtained Animated Soundwave.
I have to say, the SUV mode is a brilliant means of both giving Soundwave a much-needed alt mode update and of making a cool tribute to his original alt mode.
Also he has a transforming guitar. This is awesome.
Received these today! Thanks again griffin :)

Haven't seen him yet. I got spooked when Mindwipe was released (wave 7) and Bludgeon is wave 6 so I just got Tomy Takara version from ebay AUD$39.99 + AUD$15.00 postage. I can live with that.Quote:

Yay for parcels.
Today I got Titanium Rodimus, Titanium RiD Prime and Classics Megatron in the mail.
And my last bunch of Feb Acquisitions from attending Parra fair:
Energon Cliffjumper and HotShot, Aramada Starscream, Cybertron Optimus Prime, Wheelie, Cosmos, Windcharger and a fistfull of micromasters.
Thanks guys :D
I'm not usually into non transforming stuff, but that's pretty cool man, and yes, bargain indeed.Quote:

> Icepick gun (This completes my Monstructor set 100% :D)
> Botcon'09 Thunderclash - I must say that I am disappointed by the Energon Rodimus mold and the use of a creamy color instead of white. However the toy is a decent enough tribute of the character and since I didn't pay much for him, its alright.
> Two G1 Prime missiles for a G1 OP I am building up as a side project.
Back from work and picked up the package for my Mega Pretender Vroom MIB from the reception. Waiting for wife to open package with me! :D
Ratbat arrives! Looks great but unfortunately he's very fragile (mine is at least). I managed to snap his head off about 5 seconds into his transformation so a word of warning - be verrry careful when twissling his head around, it's on a ball joint and mine was incredibly tight so as soon as I applied too much resistance the whole thing snapped off. :/ Another thing that bugged me is he can't stand independantly - he can only stand if attached to the roof of Soundblaster or if propped against something.

Then you must be having a cardiac arrest by those still collecting G1 25 years later ;)Quote:

Australia Post was good to me today... arriving in today's mail (in order of preference and awesomeness!):
1. Chevy Aveo Swerve - courtesy of eBay purchase.
The quickest I have ever received anything internationally, let alone from Canada! :eek:
This guy is just pure awesome! So poseable and just an all round cool looking dude in his robot mode - his alt mode (as a Chevy Aveo aka Holden Barina sedan) sucks ass though! :p
I love this guy so much at the moment that I decided to post close ups of him in various kung fu poses in the action pose thread.
2. Cybertron Defense Scattorshot - courtesy of OTCA member Sleeve.
Thanks for the hook up mate. Finally!!!! Now my collection of this mold is complete... :D
3. Henkei Strafe - courtesy of OTCA member jgon2098.
Thanks also for the hook up mate. Redeco of Cyclonus - cool mold to start with... 'nuff said! :cool:
4. Universe Hardhead & Skyfall - courtesy of eBay purchase.
US Walmart exclusives - big fan of the Onslaught mold, not a fan of the Silverbolt mold, but they were a package deal at a decent price and besides, they're US exclusives, so why not? :)

Came in the mail yesterday and I open and inspected together with my wife late last night - Mega Pretender Vroom.
Something that kup, liegeprime and myself have been hunting for some time, with each of us playing musical chairs as to who is going to bid on which Vroom auction. Bidded and won this at 7.30am on the day of the Parra Fair (21 Feb).
Got this one from an English lady. Very nicely packed and surprisingly very good condition. I'm glad that the stickers are all very pristine and new (since reprolabels do not have Vroom repros yet).
Comes with box, bubble and insert (missing instructions).

movie poster - bigger than expected!
Congratulations! It looks awesome! Mine should arrive tomorrow but it will be no where near in as good condition as yours. I think you won the musical chairs game :)Quote:

Here is the Aussie Vroom:

Unfortunately he is pretty yellowed despite being intact and complete. It's not possible to pull him apart either as he has massive pins holing him together. Removing them would mean breaking the plastic. I will have to think of something.
I think the key point is that he is complete. Can you soak the whole thing in peroxide solution do you think or would that be risky?
Yeah I am grateful that he is complete as that is really the hardest thing to accomplish with this toy.Quote:

I had to mix my new Hydrogen Peroxide solution with some older ones I had (which I felt had lost their effect) in order to fill it. Thankfully shortly after I placed the Vroom shell inside, bubbles begun to form on the surface so the chemical reaction that whitens the plastic is indeed taking place even if the new liquid is a bit diluted with some old and well used Hydrogen Peroxide.
