Kind of a costly day, but well worth it...

In order of least-to-most awesomeness, here's today's haul.

Mini Street Fighter Sakura figurine. Pretty cheap, so I got it.
DotM Commander Guzzle - a second one to go with my LSotW set - I'm still missing the twins, Stalker, Springer, and Overlord, and I might get a Classicsverse Perceptor and a spare Kup in case I ever want to sell the lot off. Don't know what the kanji on the box says.
Slap Dash & Trench Mouth 2-pack. Overpriced, but since we didn't get them in Oz and since I've been wanting Slap Dash for an Odieverse Wheelie for ages it doesn't feel like such a rip-off.
TM2 Dinobot, with some yellowing. For only 1200 yen it seemed worth it.
2 incomplete BW Scorponoks - between them I should be able to put together a complete one, sans missiles.
PRiDE Airachnid. Costly, and by all accounts not that great a toy, but I'm a sucker for evil fembots.
Deluxe Tokyo Toy Show 2010 Elite Guard Prowl. About $30.
And finally...
A loose, looks-to-be-in-really-good-condition, sadly-missing-his-gun-barrels-but-otherwise-good X-9 Ravage! About $50.

The latter two were bought mostly for eventual trade purposes. I'm quite happy with Samurai Prowl and would rather see my earlier, much-abused-by-an-amateur-customiser Ravage fixed up and given a show-accurate deco than cannibalise one with a functional still-intact original deco.
I'm currently thinking of trading either and/or both in return for someone doing some customs work on a few figures of mine*, though I could probably be tempted by a complete Classics Ultra Magnus.
Still, got too much to do over the next month or three to sort it anytime soon, so it's a someday thing.

*For those who are interested: my other very beat-up X-9 needs some TLC and a show-accurate deco since his own deco (and gun barrels ) got mauled before I got him, Prime Knock Out just isn't pretty enough, DotM Tomahawk would make a better Classics Rotorstorm IMO, and I'd sorta like to see my Prime FE Starscream become a Prime Sunstorm. Not too fussed on the latter but the first two are must-haves and #3 would be pretty nice too.
It's a little beat up, but seeing as I'm not the kind of collector who worries about the packaging I'd be fine with throwing in the box and paperwork from the earlier Ravage as well.

From Mega Toy Fair of Adelaide today, (except Yoda who is just there to welcome new friends home).

Cybertron Runamuck, Dark Crumplezone, Hot Shot and Red Alert. Also a whole load of Batman stuff and a funny Apocalypse.

[GoktimusPrime]

Picked up the latest issues of IDW RiD and MTMTE

Don't know what the kanji on the box says.

It says that the card is missing.

A loose, looks-to-be-in-really-good-condition, sadly-missing-his-gun-barrels-but-otherwise-good X-9 Ravage! About $50.

Yeah, the sticker on the baggie says that the guns are missing. If you see any sticker with this Kanji on it: 欠, it means something is missing or defective.

cool. megaman was my favorite game as a kid. I've been trying to find the older looking figures. so far i've only found the 10" Megaman and 6" Quickman.
Good Score
