Whats interesting was my choice ... some are good ... some are ... demolisher-y ... so yeah ...
    I must try that sometime
    Still, a nice haul nonetheless

    Yeah, TFSource had decent prices, my only problem (I found this out after the fact) is I went for two things, or drunk me, 1 if you went over $150 you get free shipping, but if international then you get some shipping paid for, thats fine. However, 2, I thought I was getting 'TF Points' right up until I check the other day that you can't get them if outside US and Quebec. Said points can be put towards transformers... Ah well.

    I've still got my giant ... giant-normaus pile of loot sitting at BBTS ... but thats my birthday present that I've building for a while ... will ship that in late October.

    Keep in mind requiemau88 that Australian customs charges/tax you once your loot reaches the $1000 limit (shipping is not included in the limit and not included in the declaration done by BBTS) for import items.

    Also that BBTS has changed their box sizing (maximum will fit Fort Max) which makes them split your items into tw0 or more when shipped. Whereas before when they still have those massive boxes than can fit a 5 year old, it's just one big box... I think it's to save the backs of the posties . These boxes though arrive either together same day or a few days apart delivery wise.

    I'm going through the customs process for one TF it's a long wait between drinks but it will be worth it once it's in my hands the only problem is do I remove it from the box or not....

    mknell where did you get that TF poster that looks amazing

    I can't speak for Mknell as to where his came from but I got mine from a music store back in the late 80's that happened to sell posters and other music/movie memorabilia. As far as I know it was a limited run as mine has number blah of blah on the back (sorry cant get to it to check exactly). The poster is a kind of wooden backing with the poster stuck on the front. Pretty Cool :

    That is cool, when possible would you (or MKnell) mind letting me know if it has any other writing on it ie: Made in Australia etc, It would be much appreciated.
