Beast Wars Neo

[klystron]

Just going out on a bit of a limb here...
But does anyone have a Japanese Big Convoy and/or a Lio Convoy that they might be interested in selling?
I know - I don't fancy my chances either, but I thought I would ask all the same.

You can get the Korean release of Big Convoy at Robot Kingdom or BBTS for a reasonable price.

It's the same as the Japanese release excepting the box - i got it myself from RK, it's excellent Unfortunately, Lio Convoy isn't as easy!

[klystron]

Yeah, I did find Big Convoy on those sites, but I thought the postage was a bit steep. I think its a fairly decent sized toy/box mind you. Figured I might try here for a second-hand one first.

Just letting you know that Lio Convoy is from Beast Wars Second (BWII), not Beast Wars Neo. This may aid you in future searches.

[klystron]

Cheers. You are of course correct. But I doubt thats gonna help me find one.

Have you checked out Nexus?

[klystron]

You mean the nexus toy fair?
Unfortunately I couldnt make to the last one (10 July).

[GoktimusPrime]

yeah, I'd check out the Nexus Fair if I were you. Hopefully you can make it to the next one. Even if you don't find any toys you want it's a great excuse to hang out with the Perth fans.

Had been searching for both of them for a reasonable price for quite some time, since 2007 I think.

Managed to get MISB Lio Convoy from Japan for $65AUD incl. shipping, from a seemingly Transformer-apathetic Japanese gamer.

Big Convoys are easier to locate, if you're willing to go for the Korean release. Got mine MISB from Korea for $45AUD incl. shipping.

One issue: the top missile won't lock anymore after the first time I fired it; this is mainly due to the locking mechanism that is used for locking and firing both missiles consecutively when you turn a switch on the weapon. Being a long time Beast Wars collector, I consider the plastic to be of a slightly lower grade, very soft plastic to be used for designing projectiles (does not look intentional), though the robot's construction-workmanship is coherent and holds very well. Transforms well.
Currently have the figure in storage due to home-renovations, so I apologise for not supplying pics for comparison. Not sure if this issue is just due to my luck.
