Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

It's probably a case-by-case thing as it would depend on the refunds staff's discretion.

Current returns policies still protect the buyer from faulty goods, no worries there.
They are chain wide policies and major stores all have nearly the same policies.
You just have to know that you are indeed entitled to return faulty goods and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Examples:
Target http://www.target.com.au/html/refund...ped_refund.htm
Target will accept product returns where:
• The product is faulty or the product is not fit for the purpose goods of that kind are commonly bought.
• The product does not match the sample or description.

Kmart http://www.kmart.com.au/ReturnsPolicy.aspx
Kmart will accept product returns and provide you with an exchange voucher, refund or repair where:
The product is faulty or is not of merchantable quality, or
The product is not fit for its intended purpose, or
The product does not match the sample or our description; and
You can present your Kmart register receipt or other adequate proof of purchase.

Also, these policies are mandated by the federal government in the Trade Practices Act:

Statutory conditions (goods)

The Trade Practices Act implies the following statutory conditions into consumer contracts:

• The goods must be of merchantable quality. That is, they must meet a basic level of quality and performance, taking into account their price and description. They also should be free from defects that were not obvious to you at the time of purchase.
• The goods must be fit for their purpose. That is, they should do what they are supposed to do and be suitable for any purpose that you might have made known to the supplier.
• The goods must match the description you were given or the sample you chose from. For example, any carpet laid must be the same quality and colour as the sample you chose from.
• You must receive clear title to the goods, including goods bought at auction. In other words, you can expect to own the goods outright and any restriction on ownership should be explained to you beforehand.

Hi There Guys,

I have three questions:-

1) What are the names of the 3 Rainmakers?

2) Where do most of you guys buy your figures especially G1 + G2?

3) How many seekers have been released in this format?

[Paulbot]

1) The only Rainmaker who has a name is "Acid Storm".

2) Best answered by others, for me it's eBay for G1 and G2 figures

3) Which format do you mean? There's varying versions of the Seekers (particular if you count all the times a Starscream toy has been repainted as Skywarp/Thundercracker etc).

This should help.

Hi There Guys,

I have three questions:-

1) What are the names of the 3 Rainmakers?

2) Where do most of you guys buy your figures especially G1 + G2?

3) How many seekers have been released in this format?

1) The Green one is Acidstorm while the yellow one is said to be Sunstorm by some fans. However others say that the yellow seeker is a completely different character altogether who just happens to be yellow/orange. I don't think the blue one has a name.

2) I have gotten most of my G1s from Ebay and Transformerland.com. I have also got a few good figures from fans on this board. A few others have been from none attached individuals doing private sales.

3)What format do you mean? Rainmakers? Then its just Universe Acidstorm and possibly Sunstorm. If there is a Sunstorm toy that more closely represents the yellow Rainmaker is the yellow release of the titanium WW seeker . It's the only toy representing G1 Sunstorm that so happens to be yellow just like in the show instead of orange. Since he also has a Cybertronian mode, it also matches with the 'pyramid' jet of the episode.

[Darth Conlan]

Thanks guys for the quick responses. I'm more searching for G1 and g2 seekers. I have the sunstorm, skywarp and thundercracker ones. Hopefully soon to be more.

[Hammerstorm]

Recently picked up hasbro screamo a month or two back had it out yesterday and was inspired to buy more MP goodness! so got on the net looked around and found that these guys are quite pricey in oz as opposed to everywhere else. Is there a particular reason for this? would it be better to import? any suggestions on where to buy?

If you want to 'catch them all', the ones you still need are:

G1: Starscream, Dirge, Thrust and Ramjet.
G2: Starscream and Ramjet.
Post G2: Various reissues of the G1 Seekers, plus e-Hobby Black Starscream, e-Hobby Ghost Starscream and Lucky Draw Starscream.

(There are only five Lucky Draw Starscream toys in existence, so you're almost certainly not ever going to own one of those, but all the rest are potentially collectable. Of the ones you don't have, the cheapest ones to get Mint In Sealed Box are Encore Starscream and US Reissue Dirge. G2 Ramjet is my favourite version of the mould - he comes in teal and imperial purple with missiles that actually fire and a box of sound effects. But maybe that's just me...)

[Darth Conlan]

Yeah I like the G2 Ramjet also. Do you have any pictures of the lucky draw starscream?

I'm finding the g2 figures hard to find anywhere on the net. Any suggestions would be Fab.
