Hi

I just got home today from a month overseas and have picked up a few things - pics will follow over the weekend.

Started in Vancouver for a family wedding - managed to pick up a complete set of Animated keychains and a Takara Animated Megatron figure which doesnt transform.

We went to the Premium Outlets near Seattle and I stopped by a Walmart and picked up 2 x Bumblee/SOundwave/Rodimus Legion sets, Megatron Cybervese playset, Optimus Prime Cyberverse playset and Walmart Optimus Prime exclusive.

Next headed to New York - City and State (near Albany). I picked up the TRU Transcan Ironhide and Sideswipe - for USD 13 - worth picking up even though I wasnt overly keen on the series. I also picked up Kre-O sets of Sentinal Prime, Megatron, Starscream, Bumblee, SIdeswipe, and Ratchet from Walmart - could have gotten Optimus but was not sure if it had the right closed chest figure. I have yet to build the sets but I love the Kreons! I also went to a Target and picked up the Starscream Voyager exclusive and 2x Leadfoot legion/Ironhide (blue) - this means I have 4 so I will probably return the 2 I bought in Australia since these ones were much cheaper! Also picked up a cyberverse Optimus Prime with 3D glasses for USD 3 (on special)!

Then went to London - only picked up a MOSC Hurricane (1991) which I will probably open soon...

Then went to the Netherlands where I didnt find anything other than cheap star wars lego!

On the way back to SYdney, we went by Singapore so I checked every toy store at Changi airport since I read on TFW2005 that the Shockwave Cyberverse playset was released and you never know what will be released in Australia. I managed to pick up 2 x Shockwave Cyberverse playsets (couldnt find any more), a HA Dragstrip and Battlesteel OPtimus Prime Cyberverse Commander. The Shockwaves look pretty awesome. I also picked up some DOTM magnetic bookmarks and some DOTM paper clips plus other DOTM merchandise.

I got back to Sydney and had a few parcels to open....

I had the V-01 Video Collection set waiting

I got this mainly for the bio cards - I especially needed Go Shooter and have always been after Sixshot and Slugslinger - the rest are a bonus!

I also had a C-200 Lander arrive but there was a problem, the parcel was soaked with water - the box is a mess but the toy and paperworks were fine... I will have to email the seller and see what can be done. I assume it counts but it isnt MIB anymore....

I also had the Tigertracks WST arrive from heerotoys

I had G2 Boss, ehobby diaclone insecticons and some energon cubes from ebay (Gerrutcamo(?)).

The final item I bought was a personal treat for myself as a reward for a promotion to a senior role in my firm - probably my last big purchase for awhile.... AFA Artfire. I normally dont go for AFA items but Artfire has always been a "holy grail" and this was AFA 90. Although I have a MISB one which I am seriously tempted to open to play with! I have 7 AFA items now - Artfire, Slugslinger, 4 dinocassettes and Black Shadow - but I dont think I will go after any others.

Regards
Robert
