The 3rd party acquisitions thread!

[liegeprime]

I would suggest get assaulter and the Demolition crew, while they're newly available and still cheap - BBTS has them in stock. The older figures would be harder to find and since it's not anymore in production would be more pricy anywhere you look for em. Another site you could look for is www.chimungmung.com which sells originals and KO and 3rd party stuff so at least you could be aware if its a 3rd party that's been KOed since they list it as it is, a KO or an original

I've been looking at these two, What was the damage and are they any good

[Ozboticon]

I have not seen any reviews of the not topspin and twintwist but have heard that for the price, they are pretty good. Plastic quality is similar to the MMC Screamer but the plastic is thicker and feels better in-hand. Listen to TFW 2005 and Radio Free Cybertron latest podcasts. Both have someone who purchased and were pretty pleased. I have been thinking of dropping the cash down myself.
They seem to have great articulation while staying true to the G1 looks. For 3rd party, they are very reasonable in price compared to what is currently available. About the same size as a current deluxe figure. Good luck if you get it. Would love to hear your thoughts on them

I could have saved some money & bought Broadside 2 or 3 months ago... but no, I only decided that I wanted him just now & I ended up paying ebay prices for him...

So... Who's the idiot?

worth it though

Today two new friends arrived in the mail

Got the other not divebomb mainly because it was cheaper and someone had to get the other version. I do like the G1 look he has. The combiner hand is fantastic!

code is cool, divebowmb looks good too! THAT HAND!

Sweet pics Optic, this first one has topspin with some battle damage to his face. Is there a changeable face with it?

[The_Black_Sheep]

The Jumpstarters. The biggest G1 shelfwarmers on ebay... to brand-new, absolutely kick-ass figures. Who'd a thunk it? Not me. Not in a million years...

picked up from the postie today my FP Alternators upgrade kit for optimus prime.



















very happy with this as the kit fits in nicely to the chest area to hold the Matrix and the fuel can/gun, is a good idea as it gives Optimus a bigger weapon.

Very cool. I didn't even know that upgrade kit existed.
