January's Jubilations

[SuspectimusPrime]

Wow I didn't know that was possible! I just knew that Mindwipe had a slot for Skystalker to sit on top of Mindwipe in jet mode, like G2 Dreadwing & Smokescreen, and that looked cool to me, but now I'm really glad I got Skystalker. I actually bought Mindwipe for nostalgia it reminded me of G2 Sky Jack, which I had as a kid and loved.

It's a fan-mode Be careful when you're trying it though, it's a tight fit trying to get Skystalker's arms in there - but you should be able to do it without damaging any plastic.

Also, if you're thinking of getting a second Skystalker you can do this:

This is awesome! Never seen it done before. Few new ones to put on my wishlist.

Todays sweet haul with a hefty dash of grail-y goodness. Sadly sans MP Soundwave who had sold out by the time I got to Joshin Kids. I'm not in such a rush for him that I'm willing to pay Hero Gangu prices for an item that's at mass retail atm.

Anyway, in order of least to most personal coolness:
1 - TF United Tank Megatron Odieverse Archforce.
2 - CHUGUR white Ultra-class Powerglide Odieverse Hot House.
3 - Asia exclusive Voyager Powerdive.
4 - Henkei Streak. Waiting on MP Prowl to be released before he gets opened, along with Binaltech Smokescreen.
5 - Classics Sideswipe and Henkei Sunstreaker. I'm not holding my breath for an MP Sunstreaker anytime soon (what with Japan having Sideswipe and Red Alert as the 'brothers' deal more than the 2 SSs), so this way I'm covered either way. A pair of minor grails and cause for celebration right there, but the best is yet to come...
6 - A loose, complete Ultra Magnus & City Commander set, with the sweet shoulder missile and G1-ish gun kit. He's been my number one grail for ages now.

Shame about MP Soundwave, but still pretty pleased with today's loot.

That's a pretty sweet loot for one day's work! I actually have Henkei Sideswipe and Classics Sunstreaker instead

Picked these 2 up on my last couple of days in Japan



got to meet up with a fellow board member here which was cool!

Now to get that megatron into australia....

[robwin1974]

I haven't bought much for awhile since my focus is mainly G1 and generations/classics and the Prime/Beasthunters don't really excite me.

I do like the bot shots and the kreons plus the Masterpieces so will be collecting these

I ended up buying two sets of the stunticon bot shots off evilbay as I am not sure if they will end up here - I didnt bother with the polar autobot team set.

That is cool! Please feel free to post up more details about the meet (and any photos if you have any ). It's been a year since we last had a meet in Japan

Carry it in robot mode. If Customs ping you, surrender it and apply for it to be released back to you afterwards. Customs staff should provide you information on how to reclaim confiscated items. As a WA resident you shouldn't have any problem claiming it. (lucky you)

Yeah fingers crossed!
