Nice haul Cat. I'd love to see a review of those Star Wars black series figures.

Years ago, I paid a substantial sum of money for my original MIB Fort Max. Even though he was 100% complete, I always felt he was missing something. He needed his Master Sword. I really didn't want to get him a repro sword (I felt a repro sword was beneath him) but then TakTom re-issued him. Finally I could get him an official sword, a genuine sword.

Behold - his encore Master Sword:


& now he's officially complete.

Who in the world did you convince to sell you their mastersword?!?

No worries. Because I couldn't be bothered taking new pics

Will do - I just need to take some updated pics first (the last ones I took were late last year & since then my collection has become even more clogged... heh).

Oh you're talking about the Diaclone Driver - I luv those little guys! Just one word of warning, they come from the era of lead toys - so don't put them anywhere near your mouth...

Wow The_Black_Sheep, that is some really nice collectors kit there. Some extremely serious collection items. cool.

Meowtroplex,

very nice! That sealed set go with Big robot base or fortress x ?

The 5-pack are actually from my MultiForce 14. Maybe I should finally open them up some day..? hehe

That sword is actually an encore sword I found on ebay. With all the reproduction swords being manufactured in the last few years, they looked nice but I was hesitant in getting one of those. For me - it had to be a genuine sword or nothing. & when they announced that Encore Fort Max was gonna have his mastersword - that's when I knew that I could finally complete my Fort Max.

Thanks Mate! Being that I see them everyday, I don't get that excited anymore (especially since obtaining my 2 holy grails that were incredibly hard to find) but it sure is nice when my humble collection brings a smile to fellow collectors' faces.

Sure. Anyone in particular you'd like me to focus on?

For some reason I got allocated one set instead of the two I'd ordered.

I did get an extra R2, and have some extra Lukes on the way.

I of course, need more sandtroopers. Don't know what my options will be there. I have a feeling they'll be a bit X-ey on eBay.

This is the info on those two clearanced Generations volumes I picked up, for anyone whose unfamiliar with them. Like I said, I already have both, but bought them thinking that someone on this board would love to have them for that price. They're too good to pass up at full price, let alone this heavily discounted. (Under 20% of Regular Price).

Still waiting to hear back from the person I owe a favour to who has dibs, otherwise I'll put them up here. They'll be for cost, I'm not looking to make anything off them. I just thought these were insanely good prices, and someone would love to add these to their collections.

One was about $9US, the other about $13. That's crazy cheap for these books. I've never seen them that cheap.

Here's some info: Their normal price is around $40-$80, edging towards the higher end once you factor in shipping, higher if you still want the coupon included for the exclusive figure.

I have extras of Generations 2011 volume 1 (there were 2 volumes released that year. See here for contents http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Transformers_Generations_2011 )

And Generations 2012 (only one volume released last year). http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Transformers_Generations_2012

I'm pretty sure they've had the coupon removed, I haven't checked, and it's 2am and I'm too lazy to get out of bed to check right now, but that doesn't matter as the offers are expired by now anyway.(That last sentence was obviously sent from bed last night, I still haven't checked them, but either way, with the offers expired, it's not like it matters, and coupn removal does nothing to any content of the books anyway.)

One even includes a poster, which is pretty neat, and I'd forgotten about that.

The prices for these were insanely cheap, which is why I grabbed them. For both, the cost was just under $22US.

So if you are interested in these, and don't mind that someone else has first dibs, feel free to send me a msg about them.

And I'll happily plug this year's volume. One of the best yet, and DAMN concept Metroplex looked even more badass, and MP Prowl just couldn't be any more perfect (okay okay, besides the addition of a pair of toy launchers).
