    Default Hi from an Australian in Tokyo

    Hi,

    I signed up about a month ago so I thought I should properly introduce myself before I post elsewhere.

    As the title states, I'm an Australian that's currently based in Tokyo. As a child I grew up watching the original Transformers and found them to be really cool. Ever since then I always followed the franchise by watching Beast Wars, followed by Unicorn Trilogy, the Animated Series and of course the real life action films.

    As far as collecting is concerned, I'm quiet new to it. In fact I only started last year! The first figure I bought was the MP-10 Takara Version and since then I've been collecting masterpiece figures. (So far I only have 4 though)

    I have also recently started collecting the Movie Line and bit of the Legends line. I think living in Japan is great since I get to buy some really cool exclusive Takara items.

    But yeah that's a bit about myself so hopefully I can get along with everyone here.

    Cheers!

    Welcome aboard the Board!

    You are certainly uniquely placed for buying Takara product. I think there are quite a few Masterpiece reissues coming out in the next few months or revisions with slightly different colours. You should be able to get some of the older (MP12 and higher) designs for retail instead of crazy after market prices.

    Welcome! I am jealous of you being in Japan as I usually prefer to buy the Takara versions.

    Thank you for the welcome messages.

    Yeah the advantage of living here is that you can randomly find old figures for a decent price.

    The bad thing is rooms here are really small. I don't have a lot of space to put my figures!
