I can't speak with any authority on Queensland fairs. Can you shed some light for us - are there any regular collectable fairs in Brisbane or on the Gold Coast?

haha GoktimusPrime i meant a gestalt# micromasters formed , like superion.
but i gotta admit it looks awesome close up

Titanium Jetfire & a Micromaster gestalt (Sixliner)

im not a big fan of those energon combiners

The cool thing about the Energon gestalts is that the limbs are interchangeable like with the original Scramble City gestalts, only with far better engineering/design (the limb robots aren't "blockheads"). The somewhat disappointing thing is that there are only two mould designs for each limb robot. e.g. Swindle & Brawl are the same moulds as are Vortex and Blast-Off.

GoktimusPrime what reference resource books for toy identification,pricing and a little general information do you use?

My primary source is Transformers Generations Deluxe.

well thank you for everyone answering my questions, i just discovered chrono-Q, SCF, MSCF, myclone so i got a lot of web surfing to go

Currently im aware of mini figures ; G1 mini-bots,micromasters,mini-con,chrono-Q,SCF,myclone, WSTF, HOC,LOC, titanium, decoys,robot heroes, reissue keychains,spychangers and cassettes. Are there any more mini/micro sized transformers

There's also Q-Robo and various PVCs and model kits released with confectionary or gum from Kabaya.

btw it's Choro Q ("cho" as in "chocolate", "ro" as in "rock")

Probably because we don't have any up here (that I know of). The closest we get would be Supanova, but it is such a mixed bag of displays and dealer tables, there is never a guarantee it would have any significant toy dealers.

There is (or was) the Aladin's collectable's fair, but it is just a fancy name for 'flea market', as it was just a small sports hall with mostly craft and junk for sale. Pippin's toys was a regular, but was the only source of toys there though, so you take a risk paying the admission fee if that one dealer has nothing you want.

Sydney's Supanova had almost zero Transformers stuff in it. The only Transformers things they had were Madman and the G1 DVDs that we can find everywhere and maybe the odd comic. Nothing that you could get somewhere else, possibly cheaper too.

My advice is for you to go there to enjoy the variety that Supanova offers not specifically to find TF stuff or you will come out dissapointed.
