Something a bit different this evening fellow bots.Today saw the delivery of MC-17 Lock Robo Dial Man (hereafter known as Locklan), one of two Key Robo toys from the Microman Micro-Change line of toys. He's stamped Takara Japan 1984 and fits in beautifully with Reflector, Soundwave and the like.
I took a chance on this little guy and I'm really glad I did. He's a fully functioning combination lock with all 3 disks able to rotate full circle. The winning combination is '387' for anyone unlucky enough to find one without this telling sticker (it's on his back in robot mode).
This is one of those cases where photo's don't do the toy justice. I'd go so far as to say that Locklan is a better toy than Reflector, he really is that super. Despite being a humble lock, I'm still surprised they didn't find Locklan worth including in the Transformers line-up of characters & toys. He's absolutely brilliant in my eyes and I highly recommend him to G1 collectors.

I can see why he wasn't made part of Transformers, but regardless he does look to be an awesome little figure - especially for the fact that he is an actual functioning lock!
Congrats dudeand might I enquire? - Is the locking bolt (the loop) plastic or metal?

Holy crap! - Congrats man!

Handed over D-306: Darkwings giftset to a TFW2005 member. He helped me obtain Henkei Ratchet and Inferno (SGD$50 and 55 respectively). Also picked up Generations Blurr for SGD$20. Lastly picked up BTS-03: Matrix of Leadership set - has openable matrix, laser axe and jetpack for G1 and Henkei Prime.

Wife and myself went on a rampage in my Singapore apartment and tore open approximately 10 previously MOSC Henkei figures that I've had for some time. Also freed up my Gears of War set which provided the ladder to Inferno and will provide the rocket launchers for Mirage, Sideswipe and Red Alert. Yah!

Back in HK and went for a lunch stroll and ended up picked up some really unexpected things. Picked up the vintage cardback for Seaspray, unused Blot sticker sheet, some vintage Japanese instructions and more bio cards. The highlight is this - Vintage Japanese box Perceptor MISB!

Guess what is getting ripped open for Xmas this year as if it were 1985.....
Dear Anubis Heroic! - Those are some nice Henkei figures but the shining star has to be those G1 bits and pieces, namely, that immaculate Perceptor!
I've no doubt your eyes looked something akin to this:When you found him?
Congrats dude, I'm still amazed by your treasure hunting powers!, oh and once I get round to opening Thunderwing I'll let you know my thoughts.
