Hi Everyone,
Just came across this site recently following some searches for TF toys and thought I'd say hello.
A bit about myself, from Southcoast NSW, grew up watching G1 cartoons on Saturday mornings (until recently the only series I've watched), never had much of a collection when I was a kid cause frankly parents couldn't afford them so the few figurines I was lucky to have I pretty much cherished. Anyway being a dad now, my eldest started getting interested in TF so naturally I introduced him to the G1 cartoons. He loved them, bad thing about it was, obviously he wanted the toys, and G1 toys are pretty rare and expensive, well expensive to give a 5 year old to play with and possibly trash lol. Lucky for me, I came across this new Prime series, which is pretty cool if you ask me, and both kids now have really taken to it so I've been trying to round up a bit of a collection (probably cause I never got to have one for myself lol), except looks like we may have jumped on the boat a bit late. I've been lucky to find a couple of the figures in a few shops here and there but its becoming a bit of a mission. A lot of the stuff on e-bay seems to be pretty overpriced (or at least the shipping is). I was fortunate to come by a toy shop in Tarren Point which stocked a few of them so it was a good score.
Anyways, if anyone here has any tips re stores in the Sydney/Southcoast area where I may be able to find some of the Prime series figures it would be much appreciated. I would be particularly thankful if anyone has any input on where I could look to find the following:
- Dreadwing - Prime - Voyager class
- Shockwave - Beast Hunters - Voyager class
- Smokescreen - Beast Hunters - Deluxe Class
- Ratchet - Prime - Deluxe class
- Knockout -Prime - Deluxe class
Again any help would be much appreciated
Cheers everyone, Til' all are one
