December Acquisitions

[dirge]

Over the last week:



Rumbler was cheap on eBay. Just the figure - but it's not like I'll ever display the exosuit so I don't mind. Having said that I'll probably end up getting it one day. And thus completes the non-Elite AMs (:

Only my second acquisition for the month of December... ROTF NEST Dirge courtesy of Kmart's $20 deluxe sale.

Overall, it's kinda 'meh' - even at $20, not great value for money (it's a bit small for a deluxe).

Brakedown for me and a couple of TF Animated jigsaw puzzles for me and the kids.

Just took delivery of the fantastic G1 Autobot, Catilla!

Thanks mate! I use my girlfriends Digital SLR which is a pretty old Pentax doo-dad (although she's going to upgrade to a Nikon D90 soonish). Photo was taken in RAW format (non-compressed) with autofocus and flash turned off.

It's not so much the camera that's made a difference in my photo's than it is the Light Tent I was just given for an early Xmas present. That combined with about 15 minutes work in Bridge/Photoshop (mainly to correct the whites) gives you the picture you see.

ROTF Bludgeon . Sorry no pics ATM Im overseas and only posting at the local internet shop. ( as in slow net) got 1 for you as well cousin ( kristoferrer) so you wont have to hunt for it... unless you want doubles then you have to text me so I can get another at the Xmas toyfair. There a whole heap of toys here .. cheaper by a few dollars but still same as what retail stores in Aus have... was tempted to get a buster prime but I have other things in mind to buy other than toys (clothes, home decor, etc) so I have to save my budget Anyways my targetted toy is already in hand so if I dont get to buy any other toy, Im very satisfied with it alone.

It's finally arrived.. just now...!!

Transformers Animated Electrostatic Soundwave!!!

I personally prefer to only pay a total of AUD$15-20 for deluxes (trying to keep deluxe acquisitions as close to 1997 prices as possible)... But I actually paid a bit more for this one... close to AUD$40 including postage...

Went back on eBay to leave the dude feedback only to find another dude from the UK selling him for AUD$30 including postage...

Here's the link if anybody's interested...

Doubledealer: Good work getting Catilla. A somewhat ironic acquisition considering that like Doubledealer, Catilla also has dubious issues with allegiance (although arguably driven by a distinctly different set of morals than Doubledealer).

Anyway, I picked up yesterday:
+ Tales of the Fallen: The Fallen
+ #2 of the ongoing series (I'ma gonna call it "Transformers: F'Ugly")
+ #1 of Bumblebee
+ Latest issue of the Transformers Prey reprint. I really like the UK reprints as they allow me to fill in odd gaps in my existing G1 UK collection. Being a weekly comic during the 80s when I was a kid who didn't have the resources to buy comic books every single week I'd often skip an issue, and it's not easy finding UK back issues.
