Hi
The Sham Shui Po area u mentioned is it where it's a street of shops and they seem to be wholesalers selling not only toys but novelty items to decorations to other toys too?

As long as u r happy with what u paid for is good enough.

Yep, there are a few hobby shops among the many stores there. Lots of Gundam stuff for those who are interested.

Down Fuk Wing St, IIRC.

Nice one! You should bring black Crasher to the next Parra Fair, so she and my white Crasher can get... better acquainted.

Wow i remember them...machine men aren't they ? totally forgot about them

Mighty Machine Men were indeed what they were known as here in Oz, more generally however they're known as Gobots.

Gobots!

Ooh that 'Loco' brings back memories. I had that when I was a kid. Forgot all about those.

Hehe, glad they've brought back some memories guys - Hopefully mostly good ones.

I really wanted to get a hold of a Crasher figure and thought I'd have to look abroad to do so, but a week or so ago she popped up locally along with Loco (A childhood favourite of my own + Steam Locomotive! ) & Tux (A transforming Rolls Royce who's Bot mode dons a top hat? - Professional ), couldn't believe my luck when I actually won the trio!

Gobots may of been the lesser of the 2 competing 80s franchises, but there is definitely some cool aspects to it & these 3 are shining examples in my opinion.

Ooh... I dunno dude, seems a little incestual - Besides, how would she explain to Solitaire?

Was able to get 2 Generations Metroplex for $110 each using target card on top off the 20% off, 1 for me 1 for my 8 yr old boy.

The wife picked me up a generations Metroplex today from Burwood Target!!!!

Great pickup with Tux Hursti, he's the machine man I always wanted! I think he was based on Baron Samedi, the voodoo lao of the dead, hence the top hat and eyes that look like glasses, and I think he was also supposed to be a hearse, at least initially. I couldn't find anything online re Baron Samedi being the inspiration so naturally I stand to be corrected, but it lines up with his use as a hearse!

Nice, very nice. Tell me, what's your secret?!?

Hursti, nice work on the Machine Men. Robot + Tophat = Legendary.
