[tjparkside]

How long did it take for your order from Reprolabels to arrive TJP?

(+Hursticon)
aprox.14-17 days! (Sorry),i call them Reprolabels ,they are from tfkingdom.com(or via ebay),free postage...(are these the same or should i re-title?!)
(*last months flywheels sticker sheet is from reprolabels and took around the same delivery time)
hope that helps!

17 days!

Sounds spot on to me, they've always arrived in exactly a fortnight or a little less for me.

Second time in two days I've seen Aussie collectors complaining about Grapple and co (Strafe, Lugnut, etc), on different boards.

I can still grab multiples of any of them, for $30 each, at a local Toyworld.

They were packed full on the shelf, and the overhead bin/top shelf thingie was ceiling high of them as well.

Sydney doesn't have Toyworlds, making it difficult for fans from there to find these "easy to find" toys.

Hah! I sure am glad I removed all the mirrors from my tree house a few years ago, my alt and bot modes are heeeeeeedious!!

Yeah, that assortment wasn't widely available here (and anywhere that did get it, Grappel always sold out straight away). I only saw Strafe and Nut Convoy maybe once or twice at Target; Grappel was always gone.

I gave up in the end and just purchased a United Grapple from HLJ (and rejoiced that the toy's name is Grapple and not Grappel!). Got Lugnut later on when I was overseas (so it worked out cheaper )... Strafe I just don't care about.

Geez since you want photos

Bought a few items at Mandarake yesterday:



Incomplete Micromaster base C-330 (missing three micromasters and two ramps). Not worried about the micromasters as I should have some spares at the ramps shouldnt be hard to find but everything else is there.

Go-Shooter rings MOSC - a crease on the top of it but thats it. Pretty cheap compared to ebay

The 'Return of Comvoy' Famicon game was bought in HK but I forgot to take a pic of it. Also Parallax TFX-05 was bought in HK too.

The two books Ghost in the Shell SAC visual book - bought the other books after this (SAC2 and SSS) but missed out on the first one as I took my time buying them.

Queens Blade Perfect Visual hardcover book - bought it because I could

Heh, I remember seeing those Master Braces at Mandarake... had a look, saw the price, then walked away.

Btw, feel free to post any meet pics here if you like (or make your own separate thread if you like, but I don't mind if you hijack the existing Osaka meet thread ) -- always love to see meet piccies

Did you see the G1 Hasbro Grimlock 'Bommander' MISB

No meet up till tomorrow and then its long walkies around Osaka.

I did. But to Mandarake's credit they did have a sticker on the box (and other KO G1 toys) that said 海賊版 (KO); so at least they do negate the deception factor by informing their customers if a toy is fake. I do like how Mandarake puts little stickers on the boxes that tell you various kinds of information about the toy that's not immediately obvious - like whether or not it's loose in box (because they can still often appear MISB), sticker wear, what accessories are missing etc. (^_^)
