Black Big Convoy

I never knew there was one. Not that Takara doing a black variant is especially unusual. How limited was this one?

6000 were made of the black big convoy.

Can i ask where you got the Lio Convoy and how much?
Vaguely on my radar is a regular colour version (saw a few in Japan once, wish i got one then!)

Okay...so it was a pay day Friday today...which means I had fun...

~ Universe Onslaught arrived via ebay...Its finally great to add
him to my collection...the big, ugly bastard he is. Monzo!
~ Then I went to Toy'R'Us and picked up a Snake Eyes Mighty Mugg
which was only $15.00...Score!
~ And then I went to Target and picked up Animated Activators
Dirge, Cliffjumper and Grimlock...Each only costing me $5.00...
Another Score!

And earlier in the day I ordered Alternity Megatron (the sexy blue
version) Alternity Bumblebee and Beast Machines Mirage...who
was very cheap...off ebay.

Today was a good day.

After 3 1/2 years, and many hundreds of dollars, I finally completed the collection of BotCon 2006 toys, with the arrival today of Laserbeak.
(the red one at the front on the right)


And on Monday (according to a message from DHL on my phone), the first of my big toy splurge this week, arrives - JP black Movie Optimus.

I was a bit naughty this week. After all my travelling in November, and the lead up to Christmas, I didn't have the time or money to keep up with TFs purchases. So I did up a list last weekend of what I wanted that is currently out that I wanted (was about 40 items), and comparing prices on several online stores and ebay, I ended up buying about 30 of them, costing me about a grand! Egads!!!

(list below is pasted from my files - prices are US$ - I left in the links in case others wanted to track down these items but couldn't find them for less)

Aside from the expense of all that at once (which would have been spread over 3-4 months anyway), it wasn't too bad an effort, with me only unable to find 4 items at an acceptable price. Can't wait for the next couple weeks, as they all (hopefully) arrive.
