    My big haul arrived today. Really really disappointed with the quality of some of these boxes due to transport damage, the freaking seller used ONLY newspaper for protection. He didnt even scrunch them up, just folded them.. WTF?? I have requested a partial refund from the seller. I'm so pissed off, I paid shitloads for this lot. Megatron figure was shipped separately to avoid problems with customs. ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!! wanna scream!!!!!!!!!!! No bubble wrap no packing peanuts nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I also pulled a metrotitan the other day for a bargain for 200 bucks. I'l post the pics when that arrives. Hopefully it wont be shipped in a shoebox...........

    Whoa! So jealous... I can just imagine how much all those boxed G1s set you back but for that Boneheaded Seller to take no care in preserving their vintage packaging...

    The seller just messaged saying no refund because:

    he said he doesnt ship internationally but he did [ROFL??????]
    and that he cant give refunds based on photos which i sent him of the damaged boxes [fair enough]

    he did say he will refund if i send it back to him...

    but that means i have to pay for the return shipping, essentially i'm paying for the seller's mistake... sounds real fair doesnt it...

    He sounds like one of those Sellers who have your money & then they don't wanna know you...

    I'm kinda suprised he actually replied to your email - Alot of Sellers outright ignore queries (Yep, great way to do business)

    Okay here is a picture of Blitzwing Got the very last one from Firle Kmart. His transformation was so easy too! Ratchet and BB gave me more trouble than he did.




    @Gutsman: They have Soundwave at Firle~ and omg...Grimlock! I knew I should have stopped there on the way home~! Ah well...next time

    USA Edition Ultras, Robot Heroes and Acid Storm Thanks to Pulse and Dirge for the latter two.



    The Robot Heroes are a bit of a let down when compared to their G1 inspired releases. Their molding and paint apps is not very good, specially Silverbolt who's body is nothing like his BW figure or cartoon model.

    Archer's baby (Acid Storm) is ok but for some reason the nosecone is a solid navy blue while the rest is camouflage green which is very distracting.
