Oh hey, I didn't see you there..

So I'm returning to Transformers after a few false starts and almost 3 decades..

I was hugely into them as well as MOTU, MASK, etc when I was a kid and have tried a few times in my adult years to kickstarter things again but failed to reignite the interest. I think it's worked this time though partly due to the awesome masterpiece figures and the incredibly awesome fan community online.

So now I'm the daunting (but fun) task of attempting to acquire what I once owned as well in catching up all the new stuff. It's great that there's a board specifically for Australians - wish that was the case with some other lines (marvel stuff specifically)

Welcome.

You'll also find some of us are Marvel fans, and fans of general comic-related stuff.

Feel free to hammer us with questions. We'd love to help you with your collecting goals.

Thanks. I used to be huge on the legends but ended up selling after it switched to ....I don't remember. Hasbro? Toy biz? Not sure.

But yeah, back into it now. Trying to figure out the best way to get them though. Postage from BBTs is pricey...

Went from Toy Biz to Hasbro.

It's been a bit of a nightmare for ML at the moment, with many announced variants just never seeing release.

And don't even get me started on the MU line.

BBTS is pricey. For an Aussie option, you could try Paul at figuresdirect.com.au

I see he even still has stock of some of the old Toy Biz figs.

Any particular characters you're after?

I don't know. I'd have to have a look and think. A lot
I used to get stuff from Paul all the time from memory as he used to be quite close to me. He would even drop them off on his way home from work. If I'm thinking if the right person.

Right now in trying to focus on the higher end marvel stuff (and transformers of course) so I really liking some of the marvel select figures. Te legends seem a bit hit and miss for me at the moment. Also a big fan of hot toys and hoping to get just a couple select figures (new thor just announced, an iron man of course) as the prices for those are insane and way too much for a poor struggling artist...

[Cat]

There's some Marvel Select rereleases happening at the moment, so it's a good time for those.

And it probably is the same Paul, as he is located in Perth.

Good luck on the Hot Toys. Those things are pretty pricey. They're absolutely gorgeous, and you get what you pay for, but it's a pretty signifigant investment.
