June Acquisitions

Damn... the more I'm seeing of Thrust, the more I wanna rush out and get one (great pic by the way Doubledealer).

I'm kinda conflicted ATM I need to curtail my spending habits by sticking to lines that I actually want and before all these sightings came about, resigned myself to collecting WFC toys only.

I don't see this ending well for my wallet. Come to think of it, placing my thoughts on a forum for Transformers ain't gonna help cause I know what most of you would say - "just get 'em all"

Thanks (and blame ) to Heroic Decepticon for inspiring me to acquire my current holy grail and the greatest Transformer combiner of all time, Liokaiser! Additional thanks (and further blame) to him for also inspiring me to acquire them individually boxed (as opposed to in a boxset) for the great box art.

These are the legitimate Chinese reissues from 1995, and the figures are in wonderful condition. Good stickers, although one or too are sloppy placed. Tight, but not stiff joints, and no GPS damage.







There was something I found to be very peculiar as I was going through them all, and that was the NEST sticker on the side of Killibison. Do others' have this too?

very very nice Jay, you must be thrilled with these

This is actually my first purchase since...last November and was too good to pass up: Universe 2.0 Stormcloud and Silverbolt only $9.95 each!

Looking forward to eventually finding WFC Prime/Drift and Thrust after exams.

I don't normally say this, but "LOL". No, I'm fairly sure that Killbisons don't generally have NEST stickers on them.

Well done on your purchase, Jay - I can tell from the "interesting eBay items" posts that you've been making over the past year that you've had your eyes on Breastforce for quite some time.

Mine doesn't have the 'NEST' deco on it. Mine's the boxset version.

That and the fact that if it was supposed to be there, even as a 1995 Chinese reissue, it would still predate any other reference to NEST by fourteen years.

Yeah, I never thought it was related to modern day NEST (or rather vice versa), rather just coincidence. I can't seem to find a pic anywhere of that side of Killibison. Maybe that's his bad side. It's also seemingly the only transparent (and textual) sticker. I can't come up with any sound theory explaining it.

I suspect the previous owner must have had an extra NEST sticker lying around at sometime over the past year and decided to stick it on there. It's literally a 21st century ROTF NEST sticker - it even has the insignia: http://tfwiki.net/w2/images2/4/4d/NEST_insignia.png
