Post yer acquisitions fer June! :)
just fresh in..
g1.
reissues.
loose snaptrap thanks to paulbot.. finally, i don't have to pretend that piranacon has a shockwave-like arm cannon (weapon stand jammed into the hole where his fist should be)
Ramhorn thanks to SC
Nice e-hobby red tracks G-rock! I've been looking for one for about a year now, from where did you obtain him if you don't mind me asking?
that one was from Japan. the price tag on it says ¥1200? i'm not sure if thats right. seems awfully cheap, even 10 years ago.. (i paid a lot more than that:()
That be Road Rage. She was sold with Crosscut and is his bodyguard. ;)
That IS cheap! :eek: I paid the original retail price for her and Crosscut which was 6000JPY ($79); so I effectively paid 3000JPY ($39.50) for Road Rage. Although... as an eHobby exclusive, none of them should have price tag stickers as they were never sold in stores. Unless someone bought it off eHobby then for whatever reason decided to sell it off super cheap! :eek: Damn that is cheap!
got this today courtesy of Robot Kingdom.
Is that a Hasbro version of DotM Wheeljack?!? :eek: I thought that toy was only released by TakaraTOMY, but that's definitely not a TakTOM packaging! (the toy was called Autobot Que for one thing) :eek:
It was first announced here as likely to be an Asian (non-JP) release (because it wasn't being solicited by JP sources) - 6th May
And a group-order was posted up here also speculating it to be a HK release - 7th May (the hotlinked image in that post was later changed by Robotkingdom after they got the stock)
When it was released, it was posted in the acquisition topic & the name change was noted in the news section - 30th May
As well as in the group-order topic - 31st May
This has been the best month for me as a Transformers collector in some time!
My newest and most magical possession is the extremely hard to track down Armour Up Activator Optimus Prime! :cool: According to the Allspark Almanac Part 2, this is how Optimus Prime would have looked if there were a Season 4 (prior to him later beefcaking into Powermaster Optimus Prime!).

I've also received the very nice Hyper Hobby Exclusive Black Rodimus. Been looking to pick this guy up for some time and finally got one at a good price. :) Love the colours on this guy, and the silver on the face and the transparent red windows look brilliant. Very pleased!

Hey guys its been a while but im back, I got the bug again a week or so ago and i have some nice G1 stuff a comin...

Im missing Starscreams missiles, as well as Skywarps Missilies and fists. If anyone has some let me know ;)
Cheeeeeeeeeers
Managed to pick up a MISB Classics Cliffjumper for $25 today :D
and a universe Inferno thanks to Kaiden and Skywarp
Kind of a costly day, but well worth it...
In order of least-to-most awesomeness, here's today's haul.
Mini Street Fighter Sakura figurine. Pretty cheap, so I got it.
DotM Commander Guzzle - a second one to go with my LSotW set - I'm still missing the twins, Stalker, Springer, and Overlord, and I might get a Classicsverse Perceptor and a spare Kup in case I ever want to sell the lot off. Don't know what the kanji on the box says.
Slap Dash & Trench Mouth 2-pack. Overpriced, but since we didn't get them in Oz and since I've been wanting Slap Dash for an Odieverse Wheelie for ages it doesn't feel like such a rip-off.
TM2 Dinobot, with some yellowing. For only 1200 yen it seemed worth it.
2 incomplete BW Scorponoks - between them I should be able to put together a complete one, sans missiles.
PRiDE Airachnid. Costly, and by all accounts not that great a toy, but I'm a sucker for evil fembots.
Deluxe Tokyo Toy Show 2010 Elite Guard Prowl. About $30.:D
And finally...
A loose, looks-to-be-in-really-good-condition, sadly-missing-his-gun-barrels-but-otherwise-good X-9 Ravage! About $50.
The latter two were bought mostly for eventual trade purposes. I'm quite happy with Samurai Prowl and would rather see my earlier, much-abused-by-an-amateur-customiser Ravage fixed up and given a show-accurate deco than cannibalise one with a functional still-intact original deco.
I'm currently thinking of trading either and/or both in return for someone doing some customs work on a few figures of mine*, though I could probably be tempted by a complete Classics Ultra Magnus.
Still, got too much to do over the next month or three to sort it anytime soon, so it's a someday thing.
*For those who are interested: my other very beat-up X-9 needs some TLC and a show-accurate deco since his own deco (and gun barrels :mad: ) got mauled before I got him, Prime Knock Out just isn't pretty enough, DotM Tomahawk would make a better Classics Rotorstorm IMO, and I'd sorta like to see my Prime FE Starscream become a Prime Sunstorm. Not too fussed on the latter but the first two are must-haves and #3 would be pretty nice too.
It's a little beat up, but seeing as I'm not the kind of collector who worries about the packaging I'd be fine with throwing in the box and paperwork from the earlier Ravage as well.
From Mega Toy Fair of Adelaide today, (except Yoda who is just there to welcome new friends home).
Cybertron Runamuck, Dark Crumplezone, Hot Shot and Red Alert. Also a whole load of Batman stuff and a funny Apocalypse.

Picked up the latest issues of IDW RiD and MTMTE
It says that the card is missing.
Yeah, the sticker on the baggie says that the guns are missing. If you see any sticker with this Kanji on it: 欠, it means something is missing or defective. :)
cool. megaman was my favorite game as a kid. I've been trying to find the older looking figures. so far i've only found the 10" Megaman and 6" Quickman.
Good Score
i like that squarish vehicle. is that an oldie.
I could see that Yoda sitting in a pub somewhere.. or laying down in a pub somewhere..
got ghost starscream.better than i thought.
DOTM Jetwing Optimus Prime from Myers clearance table
Henkei Ironhide from France!
Got Alternator Ravage (Corvette) and Universe Inferno from Finback.
got these recently. :)
Received, via ebay, the 3rd and 4th volumes of Transformers The IDW Collection at a great price. Volume 3's a little worse for wear but for the price no complaints.

Where did you find that blue eared cyclonus? I don't think I've ever seen one for sale. Very nice find!:)
Got these today
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...605_203932.jpg
^^ Cool. I need a quake!:D
Whoopy pointed me in the direction of the cyclonus. (thanks mate:))
it was from the u.s. From some guys site (can't remember the name right now), as was all that stuff, bar the constructicons
twas called Robotplanet
DOTM jetwing prime was a figure that I was not going to get for a long time. While I got mine as a gift, I was reaching the point where I was going to break and get it as it is a really cool figure and a great alternative to the standard trailer accessory for Prime. Great pickup!
Alternators were a line I sort of missed, but the great and accurate Alt modes along with tricky transformations makes them absolutely worthy scores! I'm avoiding collecting them on the basis that my wallet can't sustain the damage :)
Blue eared Cyclonus, eh? Bring on that G1 love!!
I keep intending to get these, but then get distracted. Would you highly recommend them Paulbot?
So much geewunniness, awesome! (Sorry word guys, but we need an adjective for inherently G1 objects :))
Here's my recent gets. I was going to leave 'bee and cliffy but my legion line would have a gap that the OCD side of me couldn't handle!
I'd recommend them, but not sure I could say highly recommend. I quite like the Furman era of IDW (as discussed here) and the presentation quality of these books is really good (and superior readability to the Premier Hardcovers). At the same time these can be a bit pricey, and they include some un-essential stories (the Avengers crossover in Vol 3, the Drift miniseries in Vol 4). From a completeness sake this is good though and I'm going to keep buying the volumes as long as they keep coming.
Transformers Collection Megs. It was just time to pick this one up :D
shiny
So, over the weekend, I bought Kreo Ratchet on sale at Target for $12.30, this completes my current kreo collection, barring the two basics that don't have kreons.
I have picked up a lot in the last month or so with the clearances. I have only assembled Jazz and Ratchet at the moment, I'm waiting for the nephew to visit to assemble another.
I like them, pretty good instructions, fairly good vehicle modes, the stickers are very sticky though, you need to make sure you have them right the first time.
Bot Shots & Happy Meal Starscreams.
