JULY Acquisitions

[kaiden]

Here is my 'holy grail' acquisition - HA Barricade.

Got him from one of the profiteers on EBAY. But that's life.

Around $90 delivered to OZ

Main point is that I got him and its all about the outcome.

glad i got mine for $50 from tropisetron last month then

Post up some pics of Bumblebee when you have made him, still on the fence if i should get him or not

Will do! Though off the bat I'd say no, unless like me, you're ok with doing a lot of modification. There is no where near the amount of detail prime has and it isn't even that movie accurate. Not to mention the yellow plastic has a kind of cheap feel to it. Having said that though if you're a avid modeller the fig certainly has potential.


Got myself:

generations Kup
Generations Thundercracker
Mechtech Barricade
Sideswipe
and ultimate battle megs and prime.

Yea i know, I have ordered Bumblebee form Japan but will be drybrushing him to bring out more details and am trying to find the paint code of the Comaro's Rally yellow so i can paint all the yellow plastics

Many, many, many thanks to bruticus for selling me his junker Shockwave so I can repair the broken elbow joint in mine. also for the energon goodies 48 more cubes to add to the stockpile!!

Also got a few days ago some comics and TPB and also posting pics of the stuff I previously mentioned I got from dat70sdude (Myclones) and kurdt_the _goat (terrorcons)

Got some items in the mail today

From Japan, Ez Chronicle Volume One - Blind packed Legends from Revenge of the Fallen, Universe 2.0 and Reveal the Shield.




Opening up the 12 little boxes inside got me: 2x G1 Optimus Prime, 2x G1 Megatron, 2x G1 Thundercracker, 2x ROTF Megatron, 1x ROTF Optimus Prime, 1x G1 Jazz, 1x G1 Trailbreaker, 1x G1 Bumblebee. Need to compare the American versions I have with these and see what I want to keep and what I can sell/trade off.

A box from BBTS, with nothing in it for me.

Would you be selling the junker Shockwave?

Erm sorry, but no, ....not for now, prolly holding on to it, coz dunno if any other parts (gray joints mostly) might break down from my toy.

Good thing bruticus was there when I accidentally broke mine while Im transforming it (happened last Parramatta fair after meet-up. TBH even I was shocked a bit coz I never expected the arm to come off. Now when I look at the gray pieces of the toy I see warping pretty much like the GPS, BPS warping which is kinda scaring me a bit. Plastic bonding agents did squat btw and drilling a metal piece to connect the parts broken off would've destroyed the plastic to bits so Im really grateful to bruticus on this..

@optimus1: one can never have too much energon hehehe... my aim is 1 energon cube per figure I own... I have a very long way to go

Interesting haul today. The battle damaged prime bust is really cool and the soap was a novel item and is literally from 1984. Sonicron is pretty cool and I got him comparitively cheaply (mods please shift images if they're in the wrong section)
