The 3rd party acquisitions thread!

[Megatron]

My 1st purchase from Chimungmung arrived today and boy did I get a great deal on a figure that I both thought I had missed out on and has incurred a staggering mark-up on the after-market!
...

Congrats on your Shockwave, Hursti! He is indeed a very beautiful "MP" figure and just looks kick ass next to Soundwave.

Danke schön! - Pretty pleased with him indeed, he's been assisting Soundwave in keeping all those Seeker MPs in check.

It's been a while since I've really visited this section of the boards and there have been some impressive 3P pickups for people!

For me it's the "other" camera not-reflector, Photron, courtesy of board member Kelvinchang. Unfortunately no photos at this stage as we're moving house atm, but some thoughts:

REALISTIC alt mode. Although you can see many panel separation cracks up close, even from about half a metre away, it just looks like a real camera. The weight is surprising too. No die cast that I could identify, but it still has quite a heft to it and the quality of the plastic (on mine anyway) is pretty good. Each of the different robots have slightly different designs but all look very similar too. The only downside is the lack of weapons - only one small gun each.

The difference in size of the robots will either put you off or win you over. For me it's a win. I like the interpretation and I think Photron will become my Classics representation of Reflector.

Oh the irony

I didn't even think of that, but you're absolutely right!

Looking forward to seeing those pics, sounds like an awesome set. The camera mode looks incredible.
