April Acquisitions

[Hursticon]

I..I uh, I purchased ummmm.....waves 1 and 2 of Powercore combiners Commander figures. (Scout &Minicon.)They were 11.99 each at Toyland in the Robina Town Centre.

I feel...dirty.

Nah, don't feel dirty dude - If you like them man then enjoy them!
Don't let us PCC critics stifle your fun.

The rest of all the stuff I purchased in Australia arrived.

Another view

Now to sort this out and show how many of these items actually ended up in my hands.

Holy Crap Dude!
Man Zippo, you've done a great thing for those in NZ that are looking for all those figures not being released across the creek - That would've been an interesting Post Office trip though!

haha no not these guys.. they hardley seem worthy to keep MOSC/MISB he got opened up and transformed and then stuck in a box with the rest.. when the time comes they will have their own little corner on the shelf

Ah I see, I look forward to the photos of that shelf dude because I think: Individually PCCs suck but I'm curious to see what a Battalion of them would like like together.

I think you may have to have an understanding of how the case assortments work in order to figure out why the more popular guys in the RtS range are so scarce.

Oh yeah dude, I figured that would be the case with these later wave Generations and Reveal The Shield case assortments, It just sucks though that only certain stores are even bothered to order them and the Hasbro Marketer who put together these case assortments needs a "Bloody Good Kicking!".

Sorted out my Australia trip haul, and this is what I brought back for myself

*snip*

Buster Prime/Jetfire 2 Pack (Loose Complete as the box was too large to bring back)
Battle in Space 2 Pack (Loose Complete)
RtS Perceptor
RtS Grappel
RtS Lugnut
Last of the Wreckers TPB (Australian version)

Still a sweet haul for yourself Zippo.
What are the differences between the AU and NZ versions of the LSOTR TPBs dude?

I got a free McDonalds Transformer (these toys were marketed as Transformers in this region) from a friend here. I got excited as it's my first Transformer toy acquisition not just for this month, but also during my current China trip!

Since I'm overseas without my regular acquisition mascot (The Collector), I'm using Beachcomber instead

*snip*

Haha! Sweet!
Man, those little guys bring back some memories, I used to see them in plague proportions at the old local flee markets though I can't say that's the case anymore.

*snip*

Classic Transformers vol 3 from eBay at a horrible price.
BW Specs & some free goodies from the irrepressible Goktimus

Ooh...
I wouldn't mind getting my hands on copies of those BW Techspecs myself Gutsman, nice acquisitions dude.

some b'day pressies from last week
still waiting on the big one from my wife..... (oh for the love of god...hurry up usps!!!)

The only one out of those that I've got is Bludgeon and I can tell you for sure dude that he would make one wicked B'day Present! - Congrats!
(And Happy Birthday dude )

My first acquisitions of the month ... three Beast Wars Neo animation cels.

*snip*

Oh nice SGB!
That is a very enigmatic, bust shot of Longrack there dude - Really cool!

Is it a bird? Is it a bee? No! It's disco lazer light-show Western Exclusive Recoil baby!

*snip*

LOL
I like that name DD, looks like he, Jazz and Blaster are going to get along quite well!

Received (or picked up I should say...) the following classics;
Mirage
Bumblebee
Voyager Megs
Voyager Optimus

Pics Dude!
Nah, good on you dude as those figures are all awesome IMO and Mirage is especially rare as crap to find these days at a reasonable price.

*snip*

Anyway, I went back to that collectable toy store and got a refund for DOTM Skids cos one of the panels wouldn't transform properly. I then purchased DOTM Sideswipe for 130RMB (AU$19.20) and a MISB RtS Lugnut for 150RMB (AU$22.15)!

*snip*

Ah man, that sucks about the Skids figure but at least you found a replacement figure in Sideswipe, but dude! - you got RTS Lugnut for a steal of a price man! - What do you think of him?
(He's Glorious right? )
