We didn't think of doing that - we just left a note for our hotel patrons each day! I'm sure they were happy to see the end of our stay, after all the extra work i made for them :)

- Brought on Wednesday, be a while before I can afford the Deluxe 'Universal Studios' version
Damn! - A very sweet & sizeable haul Dude, well done!!! :eek::cool:
Nice!, a pity about AusPost's often sighted lack of care; He does look quite good in the game accurate colours & the Packaging is really superb too! :)
Awesome haul Sharky, but those 3 Classicsverse figures are utterly cool, some might even say... Glorious! :D
Yet another great haul, a huge thumbs up from me for the Telemocha Cheetor! :cool:
A massive congratulations on acquiring Blastoff & hence completing your G1 Bruticus dude, he's an absolutely awesome gestalt but just as much commendation goes to the acquisition of that BW 10th Anniversary 2-Pack; whilst I personally don't like the head sculpts, I do marvel at the stunning paint apps and I also appreciate how hard that set is to obtain considering its scarcity at a reasonable price. :D:cool:
...
I have 3 acquisitions to share with everyone today...
The 1st is Transformers: Prime (PRID) Arcee, after 3 months of scouring my local stores of whom were overflowing with Wave 1 Deluxe abundance... :rolleyes::p

Lastly, but definitely the most sought after and eagerly anticipated set of figures I've had since obtaining X-9 Ravage earlier in the year; Facilitating the acquisition of a Grail who's tier is equal to that of the aforementioned Metals Jaguar, was Ode To A Grasshopper - Who was really quite generous in approaching me to offer his aid in securing one of the single hardest to find Beast Wars: II figure/s. :D:D:D
I present (Japanese) Beast Wars: II's X-3, Cybertron Jointrons - Tripledacus (MIB)!!! :eek::cool:

A very pleasing month thus far indeed, thanks greatly to Sideswipes_Brother & Ode To A Grasshopper! ;):)
Before anyone asks, as a general rule I can't/don't do hunts - as a public servant in Japan my job forbids me from making money on the side (Hursty has been kind enough to score me a FOC G2 Bruticus by way of trade), and as someone with a full-time teaching job I can't regularly and reliably go hunting and deal with postage and handling etc. anyway. Sorry peeps, but while I'm on my current job I have to keep it to Invite Only.:(
On the upside, I am picking up the odd bargain JP exclusive here and there, and if/when I have a job that does allow me to have side-projects there'll be a few nice Japanese exclusive goodies popping up in the sales section. Also on the upside, anyone planning a trip to Osaka is welcome to PM me for a meet, and if they're chasing anything that's currently out in Japan I'm happy to pick them up and hold onto them until said meet.:)
Anyway, today's score was AA Axor, $20 from Empire Toys. I got him just as much for the novelty value of a reasonably priced find from Empire as for the toy itself.
Nice! I've had these guys for a few years now, but I remember how hard it was to come by, even back then. Specifically DJ. You got me beat though, by obtaining the wonderful gift set.
How much do I love this mold? I have Tripredacus, Tripledacus, Telemocha Gimlet and Motoarm and a MISB DJ. I also have incomplete/junkers Ramhorn and original Motoarm and Gimlet, but I don't count those.
King Atlas: I agree, it is a sweet set of toys. :) I have Tripredacus and that's enough for me... but I can understand the desire to have other versions too. :D Would you be able to take side by side comparison shots of Tripredacus & Tripledacus and post them in the appropriate section of the board? (if you wouldn't mind) -- if not, then I might ask Hursti to bring his Jointrons along to the next fan meet and I can bring Tripredacus to do it... but it'd be more of a hassle for the two of us to coordinate and do it. Just asking. :)
I don't recall this set being hard to find in 1998... but admittedly I wasn't really focused on them. Heh... I've always found it amusing that Gimlet looks like a cooked version of Sea Clamp :D :D
I don't mind doing some photos. I will have to borrow a camera from a sibling first.
Sorry dude :o, I should've mentioned the above myself but thought it'd be best to keep it private (Unless you wanted it otherwise ;)); that said I still have more photos of the set to go up (In a different thread) so look forward to that man. ;):)
(I've just got to sort & rename the photos then upload them :cool:)
They have been almost impossible to track down indeed, though it might not of if Takara had decided to do a Telemocha DJ to complete the set. :rolleyes:
I absolutely adore these molds too, as I have (Now) a complete Tripledacus & Tripredacus with an additional complete Cicadacon just because Individually they're just as sweet! :D
It's good to know that someone else loves these guys just as much as myself! :cool:
If I can find some time this weekend (The entire shoot of these acquisitions took 8hrs :eek:) &/or King Atlas isn't able to get some up, I'll be happy to contribute some comparison shots. :)
