My POL arrived today as well - been building it since March

So basically it's 5 months' (Mar~Aug) worth of acquisitions in one hit. But I know the feeling of not really considering a toy to be truly one's own until it's in one's hands. On one hand, I'd like to tell you to take your time opening these toys so that you can properly savour each one and give yourself the time to properly play with them individually. But on the other hand... if it were me... they'd all be opened by now! Toys don't stay sealed for long around me... I just lack the patience cos I have that "But I wanna play with it NOW!" instinct.

Either way, enjoy!

No pics yet, as I'll be getting another shipment by the end of the week, but today I received: Construct-Bots Ironhide, Starscream, and triple-changer Bumblebee

Botcon Rainmakers set (FINALLY A CLASSICS SUNSTORM!)

Gen Deluxes 'Thrilling 30' wave 1 - Orion Pax, Megatron, Trailwhatever, and Bumblebee

Kre-O Combiners wave 2 - Defensor, Abominus, and Piranhacon

And some Star Wars stuff: Star Wars Black 6 inch series 1, plus a few extras (can't wait to open them)

4 inch Black Scout Troopers x a couple (I have an addiction for them)

Of course, the day after I shipped this stuff out a whole lot of other preorders came in, so they should be here by the end of the week. I couldn't wait to get the new Generations volume.

They also had a couple of the older volumes on clearance. I already have them, but I grabbed them thinking somewhere here might want them, especially for such a cheap price. They're essential books for any collection, IMO.

What makes this really impressive is how small the Metroplex box looks in all that.

He looks like he's reaching for the mop.

Takara Masterpiece MP-11 "New Destron Leader" arrived yesterday.

Grimlock Convention exclusive is on his way, should be here Friday!

[Zand]

Got a couple of handsome villains in the mail.



I think the T-rex looks great! Basically none of the robot mode sticks through, it's fantastic.



I'm surprised at how small the robot mode for the Dragon is though... Still pretty sweet though.



I mean really, Primal is bigger than them both!

NIce haul Zand! Ducky is pleased Yeeees!

As far as sizing is concerned. I think there was downsizing as BW went along from first iteration then on two BW metals on to BW metals 2 which is why the dragon megs got a smaller bot mode coz when you put it besides the "deluxe" during that time of it's release - it's big - leader class.

^I continue to enjoy seeing your acquisitions Zand! ^


My haul from the Parramatta Collector's Fair:

Arriving yesterday were a pair of Twin Flying Autobot Elite-Guardsman, along with a free Movie Ramjet, courtesy of Towers Spy:




...and last but not least, a pair of long awaited Blendtrons direct (via Tassie ) from "The Land of The Rising Sun":
