    Went to shops buy lunch, but ended up with Generations Wheeljack for $15 from KMart.
    Pretty rare indeed that I splurchase a TF figure. Think DOTM Hatchet was the last one...


    And in case you were concerned... I made some sandwiches when I got back to work.
    TF Figs of 2024:
    1) Legacy Magmatron
    2) Legacy Gears
    3) SS102 RotB Optimus

    got home today to find this had been delivered from Brisbane and totally stoked with the condition it is in.


    Original 1980's issue of thrust.



    does need a little TLC as arm joints are a bit worn and nose cone has been chewn on a bit, and have already ordered new stickers. but this is my first Original G1 acquisition which I'm totally happy with as it took some time to find a good one at a fairly cheap price too. also have ordered a original G1 Ramjet from the Netherlands which I'm also waiting on to put these two guy's together.

    the torture of others sparks is music to my sensors!!!

    First g1 ey?...hmmmm. could be the start of something
    those stickers look good to me. and a nose cone shouldn't be too hard to come by if it does start to bother you..

    Thanks Grock,yes could be the start of it all. yer stickers are not in bad shape, but have already ordered the new repro labels and a spare body from the U.S. to fix that nose cone prob. but in all am one happy crankster.

    I am addicted to United at the moment. These things are just SO pretty!
    Just got these today. The picture doesn't do them justice. They really are so beautiful in the flesh. Bit disappointed that the plastic bubble is a bit scuffed on both.

    They are indeed nice figures, although I personally paid too much for my United Wheeljack (AU$38! ). About 2 weeks after I paid that price for Utd Wheeljack the Generations toy came out at my local Kmart for $25! FML. (T-T)

    Right?

    IMO the Takara version is better in some ways, but the Hasbro one is better in others. I've posted some comparison photos and comments here. Also keep in mind that the Takara one is more expensive, especially now that the Hasbro one is on sale at TRU. So in terms of value for money, I think the Hasbro one is gooderer.
