Went to the counter with the Cover B, but then I saw this awesome Geoff Senior cover and there was no question which copy I was buying

[liegeprime]

hmm so it's out already might pop to PZ tomorrow then to get my standing order.:D

[GoktimusPrime]

I was in PZ yesterday and they didn't have it... must've come in today I guess. Will have to check tomorrow too. :)

Oh wow, didn't realise Hasbro had re-obtained the rights to the name Bluestreak. That's awesome :D Although Silverstreak was always a fair compromise IMO. Sure beats call him Tankorstreak. :p

[griffin]

There have been Hasbro Bluestreak toys since 2010, but since there was a 26 year break, it still surprises people that it was reacquired some time ago. (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=13660)


Bluestreak was re-acquired a couple years ago, with the first *Hasbro* Bluestreak Transformers toy being the RPMs/Speedstars car in 2010 (http://www.tfu.info/2010/Autobot/SpeedStarsBluestreak/bluestreak.htm). There is also a Stealthforce Bluestreak and a Bluestreak Kreon (http://www.tfu.info/2011/Autobot/Kre-OBluestreak/bluestreak.htm) as well... but aside from those three and this new Generations toy, the one in 1984 (http://www.tfu.info/1984/Autobot/Bluestreak/bluestreak.htm) was the only "Bluestreak" toy called "Bluestreak" by Hasbro.

[DarkHyren]

Technically received last month, but had these come in recently.
Pretty happy with these, I've been after an Animated Rodimus and Arcee for a while but wasn't till recently I was able to find them at a good (aka cheap) price.

[jazzcomp]

great haul. What is "good/cheap price"?

I don't really collect RPM/Speedstars or Kreon, so must've missed it. But now I know, and knowing's half the battle!

Heh, I know the feeling. :) Our hotel in Osaka had a communal bin near the lifts; when we left it was overflowing with discarded Transformers packaging. ;) I kept the cardbacks and flattened the few boxes that I decided to keep. Also cut out box art of the boxes that I chucked.

A massive congratulations on acquiring Blastoff & hence completing your G1 Bruticus dude, he's an absolutely awesome gestalt but just as much commendation goes to the acquisition of that BW 10th Anniversary 2-Pack; whilst I personally don't like the head sculpts, I do marvel at the stunning paint apps and I also appreciate how hard that set is to obtain considering its scarcity at a reasonable price. :D:cool:

A very pleasing month thus far indeed, thanks greatly to Sideswipes_Brother & Ode To A Grasshopper! ;):)

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

Before anyone asks, as a general rule I can't/don't do hunts - as a public servant in Japan my job forbids me from making money on the side (Hursty has been kind enough to score me a FOC G2 Bruticus by way of trade), and as someone with a full-time teaching job I can't regularly and reliably go hunting and deal with postage and handling etc. anyway. Sorry peeps, but while I'm on my current job I have to keep it to Invite Only.:(
On the upside, I am picking up the odd bargain JP exclusive here and there, and if/when I have a job that does allow me to have side-projects there'll be a few nice Japanese exclusive goodies popping up in the sales section. Also on the upside, anyone planning a trip to Osaka is welcome to PM me for a meet, and if they're chasing anything that's currently out in Japan I'm happy to pick them up and hold onto them until said meet.:)

Anyway, today's score was AA Axor, $20 from Empire Toys. I got him just as much for the novelty value of a reasonably priced find from Empire as for the toy itself.

Nice! I've had these guys for a few years now, but I remember how hard it was to come by, even back then. Specifically DJ. You got me beat though, by obtaining the wonderful gift set.

How much do I love this mold? I have Tripredacus, Tripledacus, Telemocha Gimlet and Motoarm and a MISB DJ. I also have incomplete/junkers Ramhorn and original Motoarm and Gimlet, but I don't count those.

[GoktimusPrime]

King Atlas: I agree, it is a sweet set of toys. :) I have Tripredacus and that's enough for me... but I can understand the desire to have other versions too. :D Would you be able to take side by side comparison shots of Tripredacus & Tripledacus and post them in the appropriate section of the board? (if you wouldn't mind) -- if not, then I might ask Hursti to bring his Jointrons along to the next fan meet and I can bring Tripredacus to do it... but it'd be more of a hassle for the two of us to coordinate and do it. Just asking. :)

I don't recall this set being hard to find in 1998... but admittedly I wasn't really focused on them. Heh... I've always found it amusing that Gimlet looks like a cooked version of Sea Clamp :D :D

[King Atlas]

I don't mind doing some photos. I will have to borrow a camera from a sibling first.

They have been almost impossible to track down indeed, though it might not of if Takara had decided to do a Telemocha DJ to complete the set. :rolleyes:
I absolutely adore these molds too, as I have (Now) a complete Tripledacus & Tripredacus with an additional complete Cicadacon just because Individually they're just as sweet! :D

That's an awesome acquisition Loophole! Did it set you back a lot if you don't mind my asking?

[Slag]

Very cool Loophole

[liegeprime]

Whoa, Nice loopy!

May I suggest, a nice black slim plain frame(not a wide black wooden frame) with a wide ( say about 3 inches) of White matting with a double inner matte of about a centimeter of black would be awesome for both.

Thanks Gamblor!! I dont mind it cost $200 altogether, but i am sooo happy with it :D That included the original linework, two stunticon prints and few other random ones

Thanks mate!!

Thanks Lieger!!

Thats what I was thinking of doing anyway I am just unsure wether I should get a frame big enough for the two or a smaller one just to fit the one picture and then put the original artwork behind the print and swap them around every so often...

[Skullcruncher]

Wow thats cool loop, great success! personally I'd get them both seperately framed :D

[theshape]

Wow, nice artwork!

[M-bot]

Wow thats cool loop, great success! personally I'd get them both seperately framed :D

+1. They're fantastic Loophole, worthwhile treating them both with frames of their own. I framed some movie prints a while ago and framing can get pricey, but worthwhile getting it done by professionals for an end result that will last decades. Those pieces deserve it!

Awesome haul mate.:D

You know I think Ive actually seen this artwork in his Ebay items for sale. It did say it was a commissioned work, Lo and behold it YOU! I should've known, Stunticons ergo Loopy:D:D

Frame them separately. You have better options when it comes to hanging arrangement when these are framed separately.

^ f*&^%$ awesome.
loving the box art on that gift set.

[1AZRAEL1]

I don't normally keep the boxes, but for him, I think I will make an exception :D

[crankcase76]

Nice haul you got going there Azrael.:)

[liegeprime]

Nice haul Az! :))

[Autocon]

Would powerdive be one of the seekers on earth like jetfire?

[liegeprime]

Thanks to Autocon. Got these Beasties and enjoying especially Manterror. :D:D

[Hursticon]

Great haul dude! Always good to hear of someone getting their hands on one of their grails. Looks like a good one too!:)

Cheers dude :D, indeed it is & the added benefit too is that this version isn't hindered by the fragility that Hasbro's release is in that most of that version's pegs are made with translucent plastic. :rolleyes::(


My latest transformer acquisition

a commision that I got Dan Khanna to do for me, it took awhile but I am so happy with the end result :D

here is the original linework

*snip*

the finished piece

*snip*

both of them together

*snip*

now i just need to get it framed so I can hang it up somewhere :D

OMFG! :eek: - That is absolutely stunning Loopy, you're one lucky bugger man, god damn that Motormaster looks cool! :D:cool:


Gotta a whole lotta love for these figures (although I only have the Tripredecus version). One of the best TF combiners IMHO.
Nice pick up Hursticon.

Cheers dude :D; I too have Tripredacus & also agree that he's one of the best executed combiners there has been, he's really solid for something that is comprised of some of the most oddest shaped/sized component bots. :cool:


This nice thing just arrived in the mail. MMmmmm new head :D

*snip*

That combination of Head, Base-Mold & Colour scheme has me really tempted TBH; Congrats on obtaining him dude!


I got the MISB Transmetal Cheetor for a real steal. When it occurred to me that he's been in plastic for over a decade now I just didn't have the heart to crack him open.

That is a sweet find dude & in such amazing condition, admittedly I would've likely left him in his packaging too. ;):cool:


It's been a while:

*snip*

That's a whole lot of Monocular love right there! :eek:; Congrats dude, some mighty cool acquisitions indeed! :cool:

Congrats on picking up the 2 MP Seekers dude, they're the versions of those 2 that I own too & will be very much looking forward to adding their blue comrade to the line-up when TRU Australia get him on shelves. ;):cool:


Nothing particularly over exciting to see here... :p

*snip*

Nah... Just a bit of archaic, coloured plastic really huh? :p
Bloody nice purchases dude, all 3 are things I'd like to own myself one day but they're way down the list currently, surely you got more pictures than just that one man? :D

Doubledealer is no 'squirt' of a figure but damn does he look puny compared to Victory Leo & Star Saber! :eek:


Thanks to Autocon. Got these Beasties and enjoying especially Manterror. :D:D

*snip*

Oh yeah! - Nice additions Liege, BW love FTW! :D


Earlier in the week I received Beast Wars (Mutant) - Razor Claw from Autocon & Today I received Transformers: RegenerationOne #2 courtesy of Sharky. :D:cool:
(Pics will come later this weekend I imagine :o)

Transformers Generations 2012 - book only. it was free shipping so Im happy. Some really nice coverage and yeah that G1 Pretenders comics at the back, speaking of which I need to print out that translated version. :D:D

http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb313/liegeprime/2012%20acquisitions/DSC02040.jpg

A very neat feature is that it comes with a folded up two sided poster of all the United Figures. Should one decide to frame it, it should be a double sided glass frame as the poster is back to back - shame about the folds though.

Also this figure caught my eye, I haven't seen this HA figure even at BBTS... was it ever released or is it a Japan only release?
http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb313/liegeprime/2012%20acquisitions/DSC02041.jpg
Also these purely weapons only set... looks metallic as well... are they Japan only release?

...so puny

[liegeprime]

from your pics Gok it looks like a scout sized figure honestly...only the packaging is big.... which does not help highlight that it is small....

[GoktimusPrime]

When I purchased the figure, the lady who was serving me looked at the toy itself, then instinctively pulled out a small-sized bag which couldn't fit the Deluxe size card and bubble. Then she was like, "Silly me, what am I doing?" and reached for a larger bag -- I told her that it was an understandable thing to do judging from how small the toy is, and yet it's in a packaging size that's much larger than it needs to be! :rolleyes:

I haven't opened this toy yet, but I'll take some comparison shots when I do.

[GoktimusPrime]

Overpriced Scout! :rolleyes:

Likewise. :) Now we can spot each other at the next meet. :cool:

[Trent]

Where'd you pick Op up from Gok? And the important question… did they have shockwave?

[5FDP]

I'm guessing it was from Uncle Pete's (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showpost.php?p=312515&postcount=2562).

[GoktimusPrime]

Yeah, Uncie Petes, and there were no other FoC figures there.

[sanbot]

As my epic USA trip (9months!) is about to draw to an end gonna start buying TF's starting with FOC Shockwave.

Yes interested to see the size compared to a scout.

[drahsrebu]

Picked up FOC shockwave today and a few of those kreo sets. Would of got more but took my 6 year old daughter with me so had to get some Barbie stuff as well:rolleyes:

[crankcase76]

Ah good day for the Crank- :) thanks to Jimoinj :cool: a member who bought MP05 back with him, arrived on my door step today. Pics to come but a awesome thank you to Jimoinj..

Bit of a quiet month for me. Got these a few days ago. Pretty much had to buy Squeezeplay just for the tail.
I had to laugh at the box he picked to send them in

[GoktimusPrime]

Sucked in to Hot Spot. :p

Picked up Legion Class Evac today.

[Slag]

Nice score, those decepticon head masters don't come cheap
they weren't too bad, but the U.S postal service was the real winner in that transaction

Cybertron starscream - finally got the correct color scheme , my other one is relegated to "cybertron thrust" now :-)
Cybertron metroplex - priced just as much as I'm willing to pay coz he's just a large figure but not much play value so I'm happy it was cheap

I've got a WST Soundwave and Hot Rod.
And also 3 Legend cybertron seekers: SDCC SKywarp, Starscream and Sunstorm :)

[Sutton]

Got GDO Springer and Cliffjumper in the mail last week. They're much better than (lazy) repaints have any right to be. They look a lot better in hand than they do in pictures, especially CJ.

[Sutton]

Picked up Prime Wheeljack today from the Kmart 'broken' bin for $3.

I must clarify that he is in in no way broken, the description on the yellow return sticker was 'hard to turn in back to robot'.

They also had a $6 voyager Prime, but the sticker for that said loose joints (whatever) and missing pieces. Certainly couldn't see a head attached anywhere so I left that one behind! :D

[GoktimusPrime]

Haha, cool! :D I once scored a $30 Powerlinx Armada Optimus Prime from a bargain bin because he was missing one of those little exhaust-guns that clips on the arm (but that's okay, cos I already have the original version of the mould). So that was a kewl bargain. :) But your story's awesome since nothing was missing/broken. :D

[Starscream77]

In the mail today
FOC optimus, jazz and shockwave
Prime deluxe hot shot and dead end
Takara 20 year history collection (yes I bought it against everyone's advice)

FoC Shockwave, FoC Autobot Jazz, TFPRiD Knock Out & a set of Target exclusive lenticular DotM cards (not pictured); all from Ultra Marginal. :D

Now that I've paid $30 for FoC Shockwave, who wants to bet that it's gonna get sighted at my local Uncle Petes for $24.99? :p Ah well, saves me time/fuel searching for him. ;)

For someone that is so against paying above retail, I'm surprised. I've never paid $30 or above for a 'normal' sized deluxe; I would never pay $30 for something that's actually smaller.

[Bartrim]

Generations Sky Shadow and Foc Jazz from the Parra Fair. $25 each:)

For someone that is so against paying above retail, I'm surprised. I've never paid $30 or above for a 'normal' sized deluxe; I would never pay $30 for something that's actually smaller.
$30 may be the upper end of RRP, but it's still well within the RRP range for AU retail. Of course I would have preferred to pay less, and I have searched for ages zipping across various stores in different suburbs ... so in the end I paid $5 for Shockwave just to save me time and fuel costs of continually searching for this toy! (but knowing my luck I'm now gonna find it pegwarming everywhere for $25 :rolleyes:)

To me...
Less than RRP = great
Exact RRP = acceptable
Substantially above RRP = unacceptable

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

Passed on a sealed Ultra Magnus VS Skywarp set for slightly over $300, so ended up with just an Energon Snowcat and some Evangelion goodies - a new Misato for my ever-growing collection, and a Santa Asuka for when Christmas rolls around.

[Zippo]

My second SDCC Bruticus Gift Set arrived today

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a385/nz-kiwiman/Hauls/ZipposAugust2012Haul12.jpg

Very pleased as it was in better shape than the first.
Now I debate with myself if I can open a $320NZ Transformer or wait for the G2 version at 1/3 the cost

[liegeprime]

It's a non window box is it Zippo? Well, you do have two, open one for loose play/display (the non pristine one) and keep this one sealed.:) Hmm so the set really is that quite pricy....we saw one at the Parra fair being sold for AU$350 and we all just gazed at it from afar.....

Just noticed FOC Jazz can't get a break... he gets bullied by wheelie at the fair and in this he's squooshed, tsktsktsk :rolleyes:. Im definitely rechristening him as Searchlight in liegeverse.

[i_amtrunks]

Biggest TF day for me for while:
From Emmai:
- BT Grimlock
- Animated Longarm/Shckwave (to display as Longarm)
- WFC Soundwave.

From ebay:
- parts to mostly complete the UM trailer I nabbed from the Penrif fir a few weeks back. Chest piece, UM head and waist plate (doesnt want to stay attached!) and gun. Now only need shoulder missiles and the lower leg ramps.
- Perceptor scope.

You shouldn't be paying that much for MISB Magnus/Skywarp, he's usually been around the $250 mark, see here (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/EXPERTLY-PACKED-TRANSFORMERS-ULTRA-MAGNUS-SKYWARP-MISB-CLASSICS-CASE-FRESH-MINT-/380461777896?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item58954a03e8#ht_2716wt_1037) and here (http://www.ehobbybaseshop.com/?sp=&p=6&cat2=72&cat1=6&cat0=3&id=524&cat1=6&cat0=3&new=&more=&lang=en) :)

Anyone remember how much magnus/skywarp's price at sheriffs?

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

It was a Hasbro-only release in a Japanese hobby shop, but still...I only want the Magnus, so it was a pretty easy pass at that price.

Red alert, scourge and DORIFTO!!!!!!!!!! Drift has always been a favourite. Might have something to do with this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1d_-HRAGRN8&feature=youtube_gdata_player)

This is just a guess, until the more fluent-speaking/reading people translate it for you...

The top bit could be - kaifu mishiyo (opened seal, never used)
While the bottom bit could be - hako itami (box damage)

Is that true? Is the box damaged, and has the seal been cut but the toys weren't removed from packaging?
If that's completely wrong, I need to keep learning, and just leave it to the experts... :o

ARGH!!! - You got bloody Convobat & Megaligator!!! & the Gold G2 Laser-Rod!!! :eek::eek::eek:
A fleet of Machine Wars jets too, you evil bugger! :D

[jazzcomp]

oooh, WST Soundwave must've been a pretty penny:p:) a bit pricey but i'm always late to get one from the boards :( so i bit the bullet.:o
is that g1 brawl up for grabs?

[Hursticon]

a bit pricey but i'm always late to get one from the boards :( so i bit the bullet.:o

I can only agree with you there :o - A massive congrats on an AWESOME Soundwave figure dude :D, he did come with Ravage didn't he? :eek:

[Autocon]

foc game!!!:D

[GoktimusPrime]

Got Universe Darkwind and Countdown today, courtesy of Defcon. The highlight of my otherwise crummy day. :o


the red bat is pretty fun though :)
That's Convobat!! He came in a versus set with Megalligator (the purple croc) and they also came with a CD ROM. The set was only sold in Japan. Convobat is G1 Optimus Prime reformatted as a Maximal and Megalligator is G1 Megatron reformatted as a Predacon.

As you can see it's a repaint of the original Basic Optimus Primal vs Megatron set; but their tech specs explicitly state that they are G1 counterparts (and haven't been retconned as otherwise, unlike the original pair)

Awesome. thanks mate:) On the bat and croc, they're stamped c-rom and d-rom. i wondered what that was all about

[liegeprime]

Transformers Generations 2009 book Vol. 3 arrived today. Waiting for the 2010 to arrive as well - hopefully tomorrow. Then All Ill need is the vol 2 for 2011 as I got the vol 1 in my POL at BBTS and then I would finally have all the generations book completed :D:D

[Slag]

a bit pricey but i'm always late to get one from the boards :( so i bit the bullet.:o
is that g1 brawl up for grabs?

Most likely. I was thinking i might start collecting TF tanks but one of each model is probably enough. i'll let you know:)

[jazzcomp]

I can only agree with you there :o - A massive congrats on an AWESOME Soundwave figure dude :D, he did come with Ravage didn't he? :eek:
Yup, complete ;) Thanks!

[Hursticon]

Yup, complete ;) Thanks!

Excellent! - Good on ya man, how bloody tiny is he eh? :D

Hehe. :cool:

[GoktimusPrime]

Yeah, at that size Smallest Ravage may be a choking hazard (hence why it's sold to Ages 15+), but any smaller and it'd be an inhalation hazard! :eek:

[Senor_2]

Wow I want that WST Soundwave!

Picked up an average condition G1 Skydive from the Parra fair (at least I can complete Superion now), and received a G1 Brawl in the post yesterday from evilbay

[jazzcomp]

how much was G1 Brawl? What condition?

[Senor_2]

how much was G1 Brawl? What condition?
He was about $11 shipped from the UK; good condition, some sticker wear, but no weapons hence the cheap price. It's also the 1988 release so I'm still after an 86 one with diecast, when I get one I'll prob sell this one.

[crankcase76]

picked these up from the Parra Fair of GDMetro and these from the stalls.:)

Also in the pic is TF generations 2010 book with a focus on TF Animated. All in all it makes me miss animated so much with these recent acquisitions.

Nice one with that Dark Skyfire dude I've been very tempted on that one, can't go wrong with some Energon goodies & bloody well done on Railracer dude! - As a former owner of the figure myself, I can certainly agree with Suspectimus in that it is a well executed, unique combiner for it's day. ;):cool:

Oh man, Congrats Liege! :eek::cool:
Aside from the "'06: Dawn of Future Past" set, this is easily the best concept and execution of a Botcon set to date IMO - The Stunticons are awesome & these interpretations are no different. ;):)

[sideswipes brother]

Got this aswell. Another autographed picture by Garry Chalk and one of Starscream signed by Steve Blum.
the fuzzyness at Screamers legs is from the flash.

I can totally emphasise with that thought.. :o:p Acquiring plastic just leads to the need for another rush from acquiring plastic..

Also, very awesome plastics there! ;)

[fatbot]

How is it like fatbot? does it feel like a glorified PCC or not?

It's much better then PCC. my problems with them are the fact that Swindle is longer then Brawl, giving Bruticus a lopsided stance, Blast off is longer then Vortex, making it look like he has a stunted arm & the plastic feels like it's KO quality.

It sounds like I hate it.not true, I do like the combined mode, I do like the individual modes, it's those three things that irk me.

all up 7\10

It is also though just really cool to see what others like to get and what they collect etc. all while under the Tf banner ;)

And thanks!

[Dontuhatepants]

Hey fatbot does he feel fragile when combined or is he sturdy (or somewhere in between)?

[fatbot]

he is nice & sturdy, it's been in my bag all day after I brought him home from work this morning with any problems. you do need to play with swindle to get him to stand though. Another gripe is that the cannons on his back need to be removed to make his gun which ruins the aesthetic

[Sutton]

Got my FOC Bruticus in the mail and I think it's honestly a lot better than it's been getting credit for - as long as one only compares it to Combiners of Hasbro's own making.

I have my Blast-Off in an alternate config that makes him work much better as an arm, and Onslaught's arms placed a little differently to bulk up the shoulders. Ideally, Blastoff works better as a leg and Swindle makes a good arm. Incidentally, the instructions don't mention the alternate arm/leg configs at all - is it meant to be a hidden feature??? :confused:

Individual bots are hit and miss - the alt-modes are all ok except for Onslaught (although this colour scheme does a much better job at hiding things than the SDCC version), but the bot modes are a little lacking. They're all great 'shelf' TF's, as in, they're fine until you pick them up and try to work with the weird arm joints that most of them have.

The colours are very garish, especially on Vortex, but I intend to do something about that very soon.

But he's a fun figure overall and a step in the right direction after ROTF Bruticus and the PCC line.

Not really a hidden feature, but they will be releasing this guy as a Wreckers combiner soon with remoulded heads to combine into Emirate Xaaron (4th Hasbro release). The press photos shows Xaaron with a new combiner head and with arms and legs switched around.

[Ultra Mackness]

I've been pretty busy and have only been able to float in and out of the forum, but Abundance is the perfect word for this August, there have been some great pickups!

Mine for the last few weeks:

Picked up HA Roadbuster from Catch of the Day. Sure he only cast $26 posted but they only wrapped him in a post bag, without any protection. If anyone else cathes this bargain it's something to be wary of. Being the size and shape of a football I think was too tempting for some Aust. Post worker as he came in pretty dinged up.

Really happy with Clampdown and Deep cover though, Love my Jap reissues :D

Yeah, but still weird that it doesn't at least mention it in the instructions. Thinking about it from the point of view of some kid putting these together, the extra hands hidden away on Brawl and Swindle are just plain creepy! :p
