Studio Series Lockdown
I feel this is probably the best place to ask. Anyone had any luck getting Predaking from The Little Toy Company?
I preordered in July (along with the wave 3 Terrorcons and the wave 3 Prime Masters) and I haven't heard a thing yet.
Their site says "estimated arrival is August/September" for Predaking, and it's now October. I'm starting to get a little antsy.
I believe, from my last pick up with them, that they have received some but not all of their orders of Predaking, maybe only a few cases out of the total, so if you’ve not been contacted yet your’s might be in a second shipment.
I picked up the one and only Studio Series Jazz at Target Blacktown in Westpoint Shopping Centre today
I picked up TR Triggerhappy yesterday and am expecting PoTP Vector Prime/Metalhawk end of the week.
I'm a little behind the 8-ball with a few of my figures thats for sure but glad I'm getting them now!
Triggerhappy has SUPER tight joints! A far cry from my original 'Loose hips' Skullcruncher.
EDIT: Vector Prime/Metalhawk arrived, very happy with this little dude. Gun mode colour-matches Ginrai, works as a great as a head on Triggerhappy (another Functionist stand-in with Skullcruncher!) and as a Matrix fill-in for Nemesis Prime. He suits quite a few accessories in my collection!

Lord someone make some 3P hands for this mold I can use..... (and try and lock his 'backpack' into place a little better)
TR Powermaster Prime and Sixshot from a helpful member.
Studio Series Grimlock
Scored a PotP Sinnertwin from Target :)
LG26 Scourge & TG10 Sideswipe from Deza-Con 😁
Bought the new Power Charge Bumblebee. He's a huge figure with a fairly simple transformation but both robot and vehicle modes look cool. Switched off the 'power charge' feature...too annoying. :)
Walmart G1 Reissue Starscream and Hot Rod from Changi Singapore Airport.
Picked up potp Predaking today. Chunky individual bot modes, fairly straightforward transformations... Predaking looks good but the back is a bit of a mess. May need to revisit.
got an optimus prime fidget it's (fidgit cube) yesterday from toyworld.
I ordered in July also and queried when my order will get filled. They responded saying that the Sept stock was used to fill the May and June orders and that they are expecting more stock at the end of this month. I am hoping that means the July orders will be filled with that stock.
POTP Inferno , POTP Brawn and Studio Series Ironhide from The Little Toy Company

I don't usually buy toys off the secondary market, but Mandarake was having a spot sale (not sure if it's still on), so I paid...
TAV Strongarm = ¥1200 ($15)
Sharktron & Sweeps = ¥1500 ($19)
Bumble & Excel-Suit Spike = ¥1500 ($19)
Plus $25 for shipping - not too shabby. :)
Just got the ooshies transformers calendar from BigW hit shelves this morning!
As for little toy company ive got 2 preorders with them and have been writing them an email every 3 weeks they said preorders were being sent in September then at the end of September they said posting out in 12days! That was 20days ago it will be my last purchase with them thats for sure!
I'd be interested in buying 2 sets and seeing if they are random or set figures in each calendar
Cyberverse Leader/Ultimate Optimus and Megatron from Myer (20% off and a $40 voucher made the price bearable).
Studio Series Megatron and Brawl from Toybot Importz also arrived today.
Doubles of MP-10G Golden Lagoon Optimus.
Power Series Dropkick
I just bought two sets of G1 Walmart minibots from an Aus store, only to fund they have NO tech specs whatsoever and are the foreign edition. So I am now going to have to source a new set for mosc. Knew the price was too good to be true. It has a Hasbro rrp sticker of 14.99, which means that the set we will get at retail is probably no tech spec too :(
Turn over the back Goktimus, I think you might have them too from the different look to the front packaging
Already mentioned, but thanks. :)
It personally doesn't bother me as I'm just displaying them front facing forwards. But yeah, for those who want authentic looking card-backs, I advise going for the North American releases.

Although the N. American reissue's French bios are completely re-written and not the same as the wording on the original 80s Francophone bios. No idea why. <shrugs>
Arrived yesterday from TLTC :D

^ Haha the motherload! Close the thread. :D
I assume everything is "out of stock" at TLTC now :)
MPM ummm 7 Bumblebee. VW goodness
Slight segue: Should I get Takara or Hasbro Overlord?
Also, things I learnt: "The Little Toy Company" is a place.
Nice haul Raider.
If you mean G1 then get whichever is easier/cheaper for you as the difference between the toys is negligible. If you mean CHUG then it depends. LG Overlord is more visually G1 accurate but the faces are more cartoonish and it does sacrifice the chest gimmick. TR Overlord still looks nice in its own right, just not as G1 accurate. The face is much less cartoony in appearance and it has the chest gimmick (i.e. 2 cavities that can hold a pair of Titan Masters). I personally prefer LG Overlord, but both toys are quite fine in their own right - depends on what your preferences are.
