First post on the new board

Based on the advice of many of you, I grabbed a $40 Fortress Maximus in some obscure collectibles shop in Nambour, QLD while visiting my girlfriend's parents on the Sunshine Coast:



He's got no loose parts and as missing some attached parts (no gun in the left leg, no gun cover in the left arm, etc.). He's got some whiting going on in his sternum, and is quite dirty, but I'm convince he'll look good after a cleanup.

My girlfriend got me some merchandise for Christmas:



The drawings in the Movie Guide are nice, but the lack of the complete cast makes it a bit disappointing.

Lastly, I came home to a US shipment from eBay, Universe Devestator:



This is THE BEST combiner I've ever seen. You can mix and match the components and it's highly articulated. I'm quite impressed!

Got me some goodies for Xmas and just because I like myself.

Under the Chrimbo tree were TF Monopoly (gonna make up some battley House rules) and the Death Star which I love. Cool Light Sabre sounds and great balance for the robot mode. He even fits this little felt Top hat I randomly bought one day perfectly. All I need now is a curly handlebar mustache....

Before Xmas, got the little remote control Movie Optimus thingo, "Transformers ID and Price Guide" by Mark Bellomo, which is nice for all accessories, but I am disappointed by the pictures (a lot of them are blurry) and some of his blurb about the figures is wrong too (he states the Optimus Prime was called Battle Convoy in Japan and since in this instance, I know my memory serves me correctly, Battle Convoy was of course G2 Optimus.). Plus it doesn't Have Jap releases and no G2 etc. Anyone know of a (more if not) complete book I can get. I am not scared of Japanese text either, all I need is a name (dammit!).

I have a feeling that was it for December, although my mind tells (wishes) me there was more....
