Re: New toy purchases
Today, I had arrive.... a Force FX-Darth Vader Signature Series Lightsaber. This being my 2nd Force Fx Saber (has previously bought Lukes from ROTJ) I'm even more impressed by the intricate detailing on the chrome hilt. Took me a minute or two just to find the trigger switch. These sabers are awesome and I highly recommend picking up at least 1 from this line to any Star Wars fan out there!
Re: New toy purchases
Oh mna that's cool! Awesome get! One or two of those sabers is definitely on my "some day" wish list LOL.
Re: New toy purchases
My in laws rock! They got me this guy for my b-day.....
Also, my local flea market guy I go to just got in 100+ G1, 50+ G2, some RID's & Beast Wars pieces. Anyone looking for anything in particular? All are loose but really good shape, some complete, some so so complete. I know he's got a complete Whirl for $60 and a 99% complete Roadbuster for $100.... just about every combiner and a complete Megatron as well. A dude sold off his collection I guess and he picked it up.

Your in-laws DO rock! Nice b-day present with the YOTH Optimus, it really is a great mold.

The transparent trailer had me on the fence, once my son and I had it out of the box and were playing with it it was all good HA HA. It's fan-flubbin-taculous!Roadbuster wrote:Your in-laws DO rock! Nice b-day present with the YOTH Optimus, it really is a great mold.

Re: New toy purchases
Megatron...? Megatron...? Welcome, Megatron.
Who... Who said that?
I am Unicron!
Show yourself!
I have summoned you here for a purpose.
Nobody summons Megatron!
Then it pleases me to be the first.
State your business!
This is my command: You will destroy the Autobot matrix of Leadership. It is the one thing - the only thing - that can stand in my way.
You have nothing to fear! I have already crushed Optimus Prime with my bare hands!
You exaggerate.
The point is he's dead! And the Matrix died with him!
No, the point is you are a fool. The Matrix has passed to their new leader: Ultra Magnus. Destroy it for me.
Why should I? What's in it for me?
Your bargaining posture is... highly dubious. But very well: I shall give you a new body, and new troops to command.
And?!
AND NOTHING! You belong to me, now.
I BELONG TO NOBODY!
Perhaps I misjudged you. Proceed, on your way to oblivion.
NO! NO, I ACCEPT YOUR TERMS! I ACCPEPT!
Excellent.
Behold...
GALVATRON!
I'll say this... For a G1 from 1986, the pictures I had seen online really didn't do this guy justice. He's REALLY cool looking. Very menacing - which doesn't come through in most of the online pics. Hopefully I shot him from a good angle. (At his feet, where all you maggots belong!)
Very happy with this purchase. Complete, good shape and working electronics. $51 with shipping.
(My bargaining posture was NOT... highly dubious!)
(I love that line!)

Got my MP Soundblaster in the mail and the Kingdam KO of Takara's browning mib.

Re: New toy purchases
Did not know what this was so I did some research. ...... that thing is way cool! The legitimate Takara one looks to bring a premium on the bay. Would that be considered then the first Megatron?skywarp408 wrote:Kingdam KO of Takara's browning mib.

Re: New toy purchases
They were released at the same time, so no. There's also another gun robot, a Colt 44. Only the Walther P-38 UNCLE (with sniper accessories from the TV show "Man from UNCLE") was considered suitable to be Megatron.duttry98 wrote:

Re: New toy purchases
Found Generations Rhinox at a Target while visiting my grandparents. OMG awesomness.
Re: New toy purchases
While I almost exclusively a G1 collector, I made an exception and picked up the earliest version of Arcee that (1) actually transforms, (2) into a vehicle. That would be the 2004 Energon Version:
Sorry about the picture quality - I guess my webcam doesn't take very good piece.

Re: New toy purchases
I found this little gem! I thought it was pretty cool. It's a secret agent knife that transforms into a cap gun.

Re: New toy purchases
I was bored. I typed in transformable objects and it popped up.
