OOoooooOOohhHHhhHhhHhhhhh! Where did you get those black-boxed TFs from? Locally?

[TheDirtyDigger]

From The Damned....

No not the whole Fort Max but the Brave Max BFG and Double Cannons. Also something that could potentially contravene Rule 15 so I didn't say anything....

Thanks mate...you're an absolute champ!

First of the month and good things come my way.

Hey hey I got my cybertron city commander today as well! Small box though...always thought it'd be bigger. So tempted to open it....

I want me an Ironhide Cyberslammer cos I can't figure out the Voyager anymore!

[jaydisc]

Don't think you'd have much better luck there either.

Received the following today! Thanks Jay, Icy and Sifun!





The Animated Legends single packs are quite different from those from the Rescue Ratchet Stealth Lockdown pack!



(L to R: Rescue Ratchet Stealth Lockdown version, Single pack version.)
At first glance, you might think only the Autobot logo's different. But the colour of the plastic is also very different! The Rescue Ratchet Stealth Lockdown one feels more like the Deluxe BB, while the single pack one is more like Activator BB. I definitely prefer the single pack one, which feels and looks nicer. The windows are painted differently too. The Rescue Ratchet Stealth Lockdown one is just gray, while the single pack one is metallic-like (on the face too).



(L to R: Single pack version, Rescue Ratchet Stealth Lockdown version.)
The two Primes are also very different! The single pack version's red paint is dull, just like the Voyager version or the Battle Begins version. On the other hand, the Rescue Ratchet Stealth Lockdown one is glossy red. The mid section of the single pack one is painted like metallic, while the Rescue Ratchet Stealth Lockdown one is glossy gray. I would prefer glossy red + metallic mid-section instead.
Hmmm... the blue is different too, as can be seen from the pic.



Thanks iceburn for the Prime Dangler! Had no idea the shell is soft plastic. I think I might put this on my phone haha. The little truck mode is so cute!



Thanks Jay for the Thundercracker! The blue (purple) is much darker than G1, but looks very nice and classy! Beautiful.

I wouldn't or you'll probably end up in the same situation I am.

[Stompy]

Sheesh. They actually made different quality of the Animated Legends figures? Surprised to be honest. Time to buy them again...
