Transformers Venting thread!

When and where did you get it from?

EDIT - Looks like the Christmas 2010 re-release (noted below) is the version you have, as I can just see in my photo that it is missing the ROTF wording under the TFs logo... which I didn't keep, as I didn't notice it was any different to the version from Easter that I kept.


(what I originally posted before the edit above)
I have one with the same artwork from one of the Easter packs, but it says Revenge of the Fallen under the TFs logo, and has a 2010 copyright date on it. It must have been re-released by the same people (Park Avenue) after that, but I either didn't see it, or didn't get it because it looked the same as my 2010 cup.

It was also re-released later that year for Christmas with a lolly bag instead of an egg...

Unfortunately it is one of the few Park Avenue TFs mugs that I don't have a spare I could give you (after the first few I would only get one for the collection).... otherwise, someone else might have the non-ROTF version if it is one of those licensed Christmas/Easter ones.

Yep - that's the mug my daughter used as a ceramic missile. I didn't know the origins of it as it was given to me by a coworker. Mine didn't say ROTF on it so I had assumed it was from DOTM - it must just have been a reissue.

I'll keep an eye out online, I've already got friends on my FB Transformatorium page offering to send me their mugs but that means they wouldn't have one and I dont wanna deprive anyone's collection (so thank you Jaxius but hang onto yours mate)

You do realise that some of us are TOY collectors.... Mugs are superfluous to the collection and go in the back of the cupboard and never see the light of day (until everyone is sick and a mug is needed for eucalyptus oil hot water combination reasons at bed time)

In man sized mugs that hold 3 times the volume of these tiny crucibles!

Yeah I know, but I don't wanna take advantage of others generosity. As it is I already have one certain bugger in Melb who keeps giving me free stuff and not accepting anything in return

Hook me up!

So just to follow up about my broken Apeface, I actually fixed the ratchet joint!

To keep it brief, there is basically a screw that holds the two crank style pieces together. Somehow it came undone. Anyway, it was a simple fix in the end, as I used a screw driver angled through his cockpit to reach the screw head, and just rotated his arm until it became firm and started clicking again.

Although I'm curious now, does this mean that over rotating ratchet joints is potentially no good for them?

But yeah, I'm so happy!

Hazar!

I have no idea. Might be best to ask that here, and I suspect that kup may be best qualified to answer this question.
