Great way to start off the month Sharky. That's still my favourite Prime deluxe so far, looks fantastic in both modes and the transformation is uber fun. :)
Anyone know where you can get a FE vehicon at a reasonable price?
Check the board's sales every now and then for decent prices of FE Vehicon.
I got this major haul from BBTS the other day, Yoda's loving it as usual because he has more friends :)

just a bunch of reveal the shield figures i found for not to bad a price , i'm loving the generations line but the amount of times they are reusing molds is getting a bit old pretty fast :P and i only have 2 sets of double ups :P ( not including seekers because they don't count :P
Got a Prime BB deluxe for $5.70 on the clearance rack at Kmart.
These just arrived today:

Only problem is I did not order them... kind of awkward.
Oh cool, you have the Hasbro version of DOTM Wheeljack (Asian market exclusive). I got the Japanese version which is called "Autobot Que" instead of Wheeljack. :)
nofacej - nice, how much was skywarp?
where did you get it?
todays acquisitions from one of our members Optimus1, and totally happy with this TF to help my collection along.:D

one happy little Crankster!!!!:D:D:D
Ooooh! Nice! Especially with RiD Scourge as that toy was frustratingly never released here! :eek:
Like I said earlier, I didn't order these. They just turned up addressed to me... They must have been sent in error.

Picked these up at a toy store in Moonee Ponds today. I was actually looking for Generations/Classics line figures since I knew the shop stocked Transformers and wasn't very busy and therefore might have some old stock, but as it turnedo ut they didn't, but I haven't seen Arcee in any of the other stores I've been to, so I made a snap decision and bought her. Could have picked up Starscream cheaper elsewhere, but since I was already in the shop I bought him anyway. I'm really liking the Cyberverse Prime series, but neither of their weapons tab in very well which is a bit of a bummer.
Waiting 4 me at my old lady's. Hope my nephew doesn't open them
Generations FOC W1
Generations Asian Excl Legion W1
Thanks Goki,:D Happy to finally get scourge as have been looking for one for a long time and couldn't seem to get it at a reasonable price. Just lucky that one of our members was selling, So thought i had to get him to add to the RID collection.Quote:

<shrugs> Your guess is as good as mine. Australia missed out on quite a few RID TFs such as:
+ Scourge
+ Sky Byte
+ Slapper
+ Gas Skunk
+ Dark Scream
+ Railspike
+ Midnight Express
+ Rapid Run
+ Nightcruz
+ Mirage GT
+ Scavenger
+ Cryotek
+ Sideways
+ Axer
+ Scourge (Destructicon)
+ Bludgeon
+ Air Attack Optimus Primal
+ Megabolt Megatron (although we did get Megabolt)
+ Ultra Magnus (Spychanger)
+ Optimus Prime (Spychanger)
+ X-Brawn (Spychanger)
+ Scourge (Spychanger)
It was a store exclusive in America (April 2002), so was less likely to be released here than regular release figure. So were many of those you listed there.
Mega-class (today's Voyager class) was not here at all due to the number of beast toys still in stores (the first RiD wave was all beasts).
Yeah, and considering how badly the TM2s shelfwarmed it's understandable that Australian retailers/Hasbro would have been reluctant on bringing over repaints. ;)
Beats my answer of "Because Beast Machines". :p
As for acquisitions, the last figure I bought was Prime Deluxe Arcee, and will most probably be the only figure of this line I'll pick up.
'Mega' was a great size-class that was ruined for us by TM Scavenger, TM2 Scavenger, Animorphs Ax and Beast Machines Cheetor. After those shelfwarmers, Australian retailers (and fans) missed out on great toys/sets like Blast Punch Primal, Nightcruz, Mirage GT & Scavenger, Sideways vs. Axer or Team Bullet Train.
I agree. Hasbro really should have called this toy Inferno as he's so obviously meant to be! At least Takara did the right thing and named their version Inferno though.
News to me too! Perhaps he meant TM2 Cybershark?
Alrightio then:
These came yesterday and today in the mail and also some specials at Target.

Springer came from heretic2010......thanks for the fast postage out and looks very minty :D:D
http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/...6/P1080166.jpg
The Kreos bought from Target and only bought them for the TF Kreons.

These came in the mail today. Unfortunately, I've only managed to acquire the 4.

These two arrived today. $30 for both of them not including postage. It makes me glad that some people worry so much about minor defects such as bent packaging. So, to any people here who do worry about those sorts of imperfections, thank you for driving the price down for the rest of us. :)
Yes, but my guilty conscience insists that I return them to the seller. There's probably some collector out there eagerly awaiting their arrival. If it seems too good to be true it probably is (see below).
Would that I could! Sadly they will all be going back to their address of origin. I was actually expecting a very different package in that box, and the seller has more or less indicated he won't post it until he receives proof the items sent in error are on their way back to him. I'm quite annoyed over the whole thing actually! Maybe I should send him an empty box... :p
As Darth Vader once said - Impressive, most impressive. :)
And quite understandably at that! :eek:
Congrats on that oh so sweet Scourge acquisition dude, arguably the best version of the character released to date. ;):cool:
Oh man, I still need to get my hands on a Kreon Soundwave! :eek::o
A very nice haul indeed Valkyrie, especially with that lovely looking Springer! :D:cool:
Considering one could buy that pair in a '2 Pack' at $30.00 when the line was initially released, I would quite happily say that you've done extremely well with that score dude - Congrats! ;):D
...
I'm going to cheat here... And share with you a series of acquisitions made over the past couple of months as I've just simply not had the opportunity to photograph any of them up until now, I'd also like to refrain from resurrecting old threads so here they are -
