Lucky acquisitions!

[Robzy]

I was lucky enough to win 2 free tickets to see the 2007 movie at Greater Union in a comp they had going with Target last year!


I thought that was pretty cool, but then...


I got another call from them saying that I'd also won the major national prize, which was for me and 20 people to go and see the film in Gold Class with all our food and beverages for free! That was probably my luckiest TF experience!

I bought a Boxed G1 Soundwave at an old car swapmeet AGES ago.... like 12 years ago....

And inside were the main G1 cassettes for both Bots and Cons.... all up to 1986

And cost... $20

[Firecracker]

Certainly not on par with those G1 stories... but I scored a sealed Robots in Disguise Optimus Prime for $12 from a Nexus a few years back. Box was in pretty good shape too... I was shocked, paid my pennies and walked of in a half run.

Another from the U.S came with a TTMT playmate

The event that started my collecting TFs again after my mum gave all my G1 TFs (there were lots) away was a lucky one:
* Overlord complete and C9 for $4.00
* Snapdragon complete and C9 for $4.00
Full story here

* MIB Metalhawk for $70 because the seller though it wasn't complete. Turns out all the parts and paperworks were under the plastic tray.
* MISB Grand Max for a grand because seller wanted to spite my friend who offered him $250 and he felt insulted. Full story here
* MISB Victory Saber giftset. Got that from my friend by exchanging it with him for a (lousy) VF-1S with GBP Armour giftset. Full story here
* Bought a Victory Saber for A$120 from HK and sold it for $369 pounds to an English guy.
* Bought a big plastic bag of Transformers for $120- bag includes stuff like complete Deszaras, Liokaiser, Landcross, Piranacon, lots of micromasters, 2 sets of Constructicons and etc. He wanted $150, but I bargained it down. heh.
