Beep Beep...here's they come Bumping:



- Optimus Prime, Ratchet and Bumblebee Bumper Battlers
Since I didn't really collect the Movie Cyber Slammers, I thought collecting these now would be more appriopriate and all Thanks to STL (for saying how good they are) and Paul's sort of disappointment when I didn't buy Bumblebee yesterday

Picked up these from TransfigureToys.

BT Arcee and Henkei Mirage.

Saw the Henkei Jetfire and Henkei Ramjet. Wasnt impressed enough to fork out another lot for them from the classics range. Never had Mirage so bought that.

Bumped into isn't the right word. Yelled at from the footpath. And yes, roller walked out onto the road and handed this guy Kickback through the window of the car!

Naw man, that was a totally different dude.

There was one guy sitting in a car with a Decepticon logo on it and roller, kup and I were yelling at him with our TF clothes and waving TFs at him. He had his window slightly open and we knew he could hear us but he ignored us. We persisted and he eventually briefly made eye-contact and gave us this half-bummed wave of acknowledgement (kinda like what bus drivers do when they pass each other, but with even less effort and sincerity ). Then there was another dude who was crossing the road toward us and he was wearing a TF shirt so we shouted at him (cos he was listening to a music device) and jumping up and down waving toys at him. roller gave him a free G1 Kickback. He was really really grateful despite the fact that it was a junker.

...then there was the guy who roller gave a Seaspray toy to.

The guy in the car probably wasn't even a fan or aware that the symbol was Transformers or he would of had a better reaction.

It seems that it has become trendy for 'car enthuasts' to stick faction symbols on their car even though they have no idea what their meaning is.

I blame Michael Bay

Got those three Bumper Battlers as well from the Kmart sale. Really difficult to get out of packaging though...

haha, i haven't tried but probably would tonight

Well, cutting the tape and unfolding the cardboard may be the easy bit, and so is getting the toys removed from the cardboard, but getting the twist ties out from the toys themselves is really difficult, with how they are tied in.

I suspect it's got to do w/ the open packaging. With a bubble, the tape can do most of the work but now they have to make it hard to rip the toy off the packaging and just walk out of it.

I really like the sound gimmick but I don't think I can be suckered into getting these... even at 25% off. I just can't think of what I'd do with them other than walk past and press the button every so often.

got these babies in today:




cheap too compared to what they sell for generally - they are in great condition, little bit of wear on the weapons, but i aint complaining
