November Acquisitions

[5FDP]

@ rampagesss - bloody hell dude. That is awesome!

Wow! You managed to find it?

I believe so. The seller that I bought the posters from emailed me and said they've got a tonne of other stuff which included a booklet which matches the description. The transaction wasn't done through eBay so I won't know for sure until it arrives.

@ rampagess: damn impressive haul. eHobby Astrotrain!!!

@ 5FDP: Sounds like an exciting lot. If I recall correctly, UK #200 together with the booklet was the first ever time that we see Furman's version of the TF origin story with Primus and Unicron being 'gods' etc. This version of the origin was then subsequently rehashed into Marvel US by Furman. Pretty exciting stuff. Back then, getting #200 was one of the most exciting moments in my young life. I've re-read it so many times since '88/'89 that my copy and the booklet is very tattered now.

The booklet from UK #200 just rehashes the origin of Unicron and Primus as told in #150, HD.

LUGNUT: Hi Kimba! Hi Simba!

WHITE LIO JUNIOR: Sigh. He's not Simba – this is Lio Junior. He's here to tell you that I'm not Kimba.

LIO JUNIOR: He's not Kimba.

LUGNUT: Er... No offense, Kimba, but I'm sure Simba would say anything you want him to in order to preserve your friendship. If I was you I would have dropped a lawsuit on Simba's arse years ago.

WHITE LIO JUNIOR: Neither of us are Kimba or Simba! We're... interchangeable parts of a combining team!

LUGNUT: You're what now?

LIO JUNIOR: With our friends, we combine into a big robot.

LUGNUT: OMG! I'm so embarrassed. I totally know who you are! You're from that other cartoon! With all the combining into a big robot and stuff!

WHITE LIO JUNIOR: Finally! I didn't think you'd even heard of Beast Wars II, but I'm glad that... Oh crap.

LIO JUNIOR: You think we're Voltron, don't you?

LUGNUT: So... what's Princess Allura really like?

- Hanprimus for Fire Guts God Ginrai (arrived this morning!),
- Bowspearer/Tober/FFN's Parramatta fair stall for Tidal Wave,
- The Australian Dollar for Max B, Inferno, Cohrada, Santon, the Japanese Hero Set (with silver-faced Grimlock!), Diver and Niagara, Apelinq, Magnaboss, Astrotrain, Megazarak, Razorclaw, Windrazor, Magmatron, T-Wrecks, Megabolt and Killer Punch,
- Zippo and Autocon for Leadfoot and Blackarachnia - old aquisitions, but new liberations.

So many potential grails eliminated...

Thanks Everyone will post up some comparison pics of all 3 Tracks tomorrow

How on earth did you manage to get black Tracks?
Very impressive haul.

Thanks, you can find them but hes very expensive!

Very impressive. I'd imagine quite a rare piece.

Thanks, i read over on TF1 that they only made 300. And only 50 of those came with a plane white box with no sticker which is waht i got But don't care about the box more interested in Tracks himself

My recent acquisitions from eBay - some G1 posters including one of my 'grails' from issue 320 of the UK comic series I only have the poster from issue 321 to find (the 3 posters join together to create a huge battle scene).

*snip*

I actually have a spare now of poster 322 so in the off-chance that someone is missing this one and has 321 we could trade (doubtful that anyone does ).

*snip*

The Classic poster is also a spare as it came with the lot. My original one is framed on my wall.

*snip*

Awesome man!
