I suspect htey're holding out for hte morning of sales. They are very good at holding onto stock. At BigW Epping today, I saw a lot of unopened boxes being amassed - no doubt to stock after close

Will keep an eye out for u as I'm after them myself

Barely enough time tonight to get Bulkhead out of the box let alone Meister!

From Unky Iceburn and the ever so lovely folk at Kmart.

EDIT: Crap...knew I'd forget something in my bleary state. G2 Green Slag from the Iceman as well, who I'm renaming 'Slug' to differentiate from his G1 brother and to enforce individuality amongst my Tf army.

First up....

Extreme right (Universe Downshift and Movie Stealth Bumblbee from BigW) are what i've mentioned earlier. From DirtyDigger (Animated 2pack, Bumblebee and Ratchet). The rest are from the Kmart Sale!! - Yes, I've opened up Bumblebee and Prowl...the others (spares) will be opened today



Totally Awesome night guys!

This is from Kmart too and for my wife-to-be:
(can't seem to find the one that was on the first few pages of the catalogue!) I'm going hunting for it again today....

Ooooh. Envy on the Crystal Convoys... is one for sale?

I'm going to do one big update that spans back to late May, which I've held off doing due to the board's pic issues, so I ask the purists to forgive me for not breaking this up into the appropriate, separate, acquisition threads:

1. First up, at the end of May, LCZ128 and I ordered Takara's two Battle Mode (aka Premium) figs, Leader Prime and Bumblebee.



2. Next, spread out through June, I grabbed Animated Wave 1 and 2 Deluxes, the 2 pack, and Voyager Prime (the last, courtesy of STL, my errand boy):



3. In between some of those purchases, I grabbed my first MP, the venerable MP4. Very cool. Although the fact that the front facia of the cab in alt mode is not flush is almost unforgivable.



4. I scored some extra Hasbro Classics Voyagers from the Myer sale (ignore those Henkei's. It was too high up to separate for the pic):



5. July 1st, Alpha Trion and Weirdwolf arrived, ALMOST completing my Classics, only leaving Clear Mirage to be acquired.



6. Last night, we had an absolute ball at Kmart. We were out to 3AM and due to our ruthless price matching and cashier error, I'm positive Kmart lost money due to our visit . Right before, Digger passed on the Lego AT-AT he grabbed for me earlier in the week, and I put a Millennium Falcon on lay-by! (w00t! Excuse the stock photo. I'll post a more personal photo once I've paid it off ). I, like the rest of us, also grabbed a bunch of Animated at RIDICULOUS PRICES ($19 for Voyagers, $18 for Deluxes) which I only purchased in order to return my previously purchased-at-full-retail-priced figures. Again, I ask the purists me, this time for the Non-TF acquisitions. It's all just so much more impressive in one post




7. This morning, I did some more price matching around reducing the price of my existing collecting and got these two from TRU for the combined price of $49.66 (Thanks Big W Catalog!)



8. Now, best for last. I got this in June, and again, while it arguable belongs in the Non-TF section, this one I'm sure even the purists will forgive. Inspired by gamblor and LCZ, I got me a "piece o' glass"!

I did a lot of "umm"-ing and "ahh"-ing about how to approach putting my collection in glass, and decided that the Ikea Detolf was the best way for me to go for now. It's cheap ($179), looks nice, and I can get three of them for about the same price as one larger piece of glass, like Gamblor's. Also, I figured for $180, it was a good starter piece, if only to help me evaluate future glass purchases. Regardless of all of that, I'm thrilled! Here she is:



I'll update my collection thread with more detailed pics of the shelf's contents.

That's it!!! It's great to have the board back at capacity!!!
