March Acquisitions

[5FDP]

Thanks for the pics stencilator. I want this guy now! Damn empty wallet

Nice Anime Streak there, 5FDP. I have one myself, like you it took me a while to track down (although mine was loose but boxed). As minor variants go it's a beauty!

Pics of WST Shockwave as promised


... yes he comes with the fist. I just need a bruticus to hold it

OH hehehe well there's Encore Bruticus less hassle for you to get it instead of by piecemeal.

Thanks to dirge, got a Euro Clench while in Sydney earlier today.

(thought I would be bringing something interesting to the Brisbane meet today, but of all the TFs, it was the same one Maxiewolf brought as well... what are the odds?)

Thanks dirge. I had to convince a US seller to allow me to bid on his Ebay auction (he would only ship within the US) in order to get him.

The last one I saw went for a 'measly' AU $138.80 and that was from a seller willing to ship worldwide so I thought I should be able to get this for less... in theory. It ended up waaaay above this, however considering they only show up on the second-hand market once in a blue moon, I wasn't going to let it pass me by

Okay...so I saved all my photos for one post instead...Is that cool?

























March has been a good month...

Glad you convinced him. I never get sellers who can't be a$$ed filling out a customs form to increase their market.

Fair enough. While I got mine two years ago, I remember the cost, because it worked out at exactly $100.00 after PayPal conversion. And that included postage from Canada. This was back when the USD/AUD rate was nudging 0.99, which helped a LOT

But yeah, Bluestreak has always been pricey. Waaaay back when alt.toys.transformers was the only online Transformer resource, he'd go for $50 while others like Trailbreaker might go for $10-15 (yeah I know, those were the days).

in those same old days, I got Anime Bluestreak and Gold Chrome Jazz for SGD$120 and so as with the eHobby releases around those few years I got quite a few sets, somewhere in storage in SG, I really don't know where as I was telling 5FDP.

These eHobby stuff used to be relatively cheap and they were sold in sets of 2 (same way they were released). I remember at the lowest point, I got MISB Clampdown, Deepcover and Tigertracks (some magazine exclusive) for SGD$130 from this guy who said he was sick of brining them to the flea market week after week and no one wanted to buy.

... good 'ol days...

$120 Singapore dollars for both My, how times have changed. I paid nearly US$220 for just Streak. It's mostly my fault cause I could have waited to see if you found a 'spare' in your collection (assumimg that you wouldn't have charged me that much of course )... I'm just an impatient old man

[Prime_217]

got myself a deluxe ratchet... he is awesome!
