The 3rd party acquisitions thread!

Vulcun is probably my favourite 3P figure. I'm not particularly a Grimlock fan, nor am I a dinobot or Fall of Cybertron fan. It looks great and plays extremely well though. I have Planet X Mors as well (their Starscream), which while great does not read the same level.

Oooh, big call. I can totally see it though. It's a great figure.

J4ZZ was a figure found surprisingly enjoyable. I thought it would be quite fragile and a bit of a shelf queen, but it is also a sturdy playable bot. I think people weren't super hyped for it because it doesn't nicely fit anywhere if you have a themed collection. Too big for CHUG, not G1 enough for Masterpiece. A great bit of toy though.

Those are really good points. If you're theming your collection you might struggle. For me though, I just like Cool Looking Robots. So it definitely does it for me.

I also got the Unrustables Otomo yesterday. Very, very cool. Simple transformation, fun, and an unusual design I really dig. The nod to Akira for this particular deco also tickles my fancy.

I've had a great time slapping random stickers on it.

My Perfect Effect order of PC-15, 17 & 20 all arrived the other day nicely packaged from ToyBot Importz. Will happily continue to keep purchasing from them

I got in the first set of the JinBao OS KO Gravity Builder last night.

for ~$70SGD, two leader sized constructicons is a bloody good deal. I've never handled the original Gravity Builder so can't comment on comparative build quality, but from the perspective of being in a vacuum that way I have no complaints. Everything feels sturdy and tight. The leg ratchets are quite tight but I understand why they'd have to be given the size of the figure and the fact that they combine.

They're going for $48 in Singapore... a crazy cheap price!
Add shipping to that and it's a little more.
With all this GST rubbish and all, I'm going to book a flight there for a holiday and buy my bots there along the way.
The Jinbao bots are a definite no brainer purchase... truly value for money.
Real glad to hear that yours is great!
