Holy Snapping Duckbills HD........you are making me jealous now

Looking at the last pic with you, I think I know where you might be......but I think I would be wrong but man, when I go over soon hopefully I find stuff like that too.

Note that he says he's holding a Diaclone Bluestreak, Bruticus - I'm not certain that HD actually 'got' it.

I'm most envious of the recoloured versions of the Micromaster Battle Patrol, Sparkabots and Firecons. Great haul, Heroic Decepticon!

Just got this as a late birthday present from one of my sisters.



RotF Recon Ironhide.

I just got the Knight Morpher Commander and it sucks.

[Hursticon]

Do you really not like it Kaiden?, why is it busted or something?

y does it suck?

you know how the big cannon in the back has the pointy lance hidden inside? well when i tried to put it back together, i made sure the lance tip was retracted all the way before putting the cannon barrels back over it, but the last piece bent my lance tip slighty. *annoyed* at least it did not break, but now its not straight either.

other than that the red was much duller than whats the normal red for prime.

well i didnt play with him for very long. transformed once and then back to his alt mode. guess i'll have to play with him a bit more before i can change my mind.

i want a new lance >_<

Will certainly tell the shop location to anyone who wants to visit it. Just a note that the seller does not display the 'good stuff' in the shop, and like most parts of asia, one actually has to talk to the seller(s) and show that one is a genuine collector (rather than scalper) before he/she will let you know whether they have prized pieces for sale from home or in the 'back room' of the shop. If the buyer smells like a scalper, chances are the seller is just going to say that the prized pieces are not for sale.

I'm really fascinated that you found the Japanese Firecons... which seem to be tricky to find. If I can ask, how much did that set cost you?

That was a lucky find. Spotted them while I was inspecting Scopeman! I wasn't aware that they were rare, or maybe one or two may be rare? What are your thoughts?

These 6 were sold as a set. Will PM you re how much I paid.

I read on your blog post that you saw a white Sunstreaker. That's the only Sideswipe/Sunstreaker variation I'm missing!
Jaw dropping acquisitions HD

Thanks for the kind words gamblor!

Didn't know you were looking for White Sunstreaker. I inspected that MIB piece too but was not too interested and suspected the price may be quite high so didn't pursue it further.

Amazing stuff HD

I love the Scope-Man, makes me wonder what he would have been like as a Transformer character - Autobot or Decepticon

Thanks for the kind word optimus1!

I was really fascinated with Scopeman and thought about it for a number of days before finally going back to the shop to buy it. Really nice piece. Will take more photos of it. The catalogue for Scopeman is very very interesting.
