    Question Need suggestions about old BW toys

    I am now in Shanghai, and I saw some Air attack OPs for sale, not sure the name, but they are superme class for sure, about 50 AUD, are they worth buying? I mean, they are cheap, and Huge, but the transformation is too simple, literately transforming from a ape to a short leg ape.

    BTW, saw some BW red dragon and eagle-tiger(white), ridiculously cheap, about 55 AUD a pair, they used to be very hard to find, but now they are all over the place.

    need some suggestions

    Hi amon, I don't know about air attack op because I dont have it but the red dragon is tm2 megatron and the other is tigerhawk. If you are into BW and dont already have them I recommend you pick them up they are great toys, personally I think they are 2 of the best from the line. I had my two along with depthcharge and rampage standing proudly on my display shelf for 5 years before I had to box all my transformers away.

    Have you seen any of the japanes energon exclusive weapons or mini-cons on your travels?

    Air Attack Optimus Primal is a Robots In Disguise toy, not Beast Wars (also based on a Beast Machines character, not Beast Wars!). The toy is actually quite good for a supreme and the transformation isn't as simple as you've described it. For 55AUD I think it's good value. That toy was never released here.

    Transmetal 2 Megatron and Tigerhawk are both awesome figures and well worth that price IMO. Those toys were released here but they were incredibly rare.

    You can't go wrong with BW TM2 Megatron or Tigerhawk. They're both very awesome toys. Great personality and articulation. Megatron's transformation is a bit tricky in a not very fun way but Tigerhawk's is great between the three modes.

    TM2 Megatron is one of my favorite TFs of all. I could never get Tigerhawk, so had to make do with Universe Rampage. Any chance of you bringing a spare Tigerhawk back to Oz for me?

    Thank u all for your suggestions I had a Universe Rampage, black one, isn't it? The transformation is inovative, but I think the robot legs are a little short.

    I have seen a MOSC Japanese Energon sword, I am not sure of its edtion, three mini-con combiner, yellow transparent. 89 RMB, about 22 AUD. As it's fairly small, I can bring it to you on my way back OZ if you like. And I live in Sydney city, I think I'll have to post it to you

    pitty,the shop owner insist to sell with red dragon. And they might be a bit bulky even without boxes, ...the boxes are damaged any way. I am coming back in about three weeks, may be I'll have to check my luggage box first. I can remind you if I have enough room then.And I live in Sydney city, I think I can post it to you if I can make it.

    amon: perhaps you could post Tigerhawk from Shanghai to Adelaide if Sofaman is willing to foot the cost of shipping. As for TM2 Megatron I would recommend either:

    1/ Asking Sofaman if he's willing to buy both as a package. Sofaman, I'm sure you could easily sell a MISB TM2 Megatron to someone or have one to keep MISB yourself - I recently bought three G1 Micromasters from Iceburn despite the fact that one of those patrols is excess to my needs. It's because iceburn bought them together and so I could totally understand why he insisted on selling them as sets and I agreed to those terms. Now that I've got it I'm thinking about keeping it MOSC - up till now I've never had any sealed G1 toys. I could sell it off to someone if I wanted to (atm I'm content to keep it ).
    2/ Mail the spare TM2 Megatron back to your own address in Sydney and later sell it to someone.

    Just some suggestions.

    Good idea.

    And I have to say, though they are MISB, but the packages are very old, even damaged. They might have been piled at a dark corner of a unknown werehouse for years
