That's not a bad price Des...but here is the states I'd much whether pay only $19.99 for it and no shipping fee. But I've been known to buy some hard to find figures via Ebay b/c I couldn't find them locally.

YAY!
My G1 Hoist and Mirage has arrived today!

They're easily C9!

They have only the tiniest of sticker wear, absolutely no chipping to the paint and only Mirage has some miniscule scratches on one of his rear wings. Both complete, although Hoist came with two of the orange right radar panels, so I've had to source a left one.
I paid USD100 for both, which I consider a right 'ol bargain

Btw, is Mirage's rubsign correctly placed? I've seen pics of him with the rubsign on the rear-end of his car-mode, i.e under his feet in robot-mode?
Anyway, to avoid wear on the rubsign I gather it's better placed on his rearwing anyway, it just looks a bit daft being upside-down in robot-mode.

A very happy Hound!

i've seen both placements, but i think the spoiler placement is more common.

Very Nice, Hound!

Thanks Sixshot, and TT, good to hear it's not mis-placed!
Now I've really got to focus on Prowl, Smokescreen and Wheeljack!

I finally finished this guy! He's big, bad, and top heavy like you wouldn't believe. I suppose having giant guns on your shoulders tends to do that to you.

Overload (The Guns)

Jetfire (The Pants)

Optimus Prime (The Torso)

Post by **Time Traveller** » Sat Sep 06, 2008 12:31 pm

are all three complete? does the remote controlled trailer work?

Rattrap · Post by **Rattrap** » Sat Sep 06, 2008 12:40 pm

All three complete. I don't know if the trailer works yet as Optimus' clock batteries are dead. I have to make another pilgrimage to Wal-Mart before I'll know for sure.

Countdown · Post by **Countdown** » Sat Sep 06, 2008 1:33 pm

Hound: Yeah he is tough to find cheap and complete. I have been lookin for about 8 months. And, I saw an evil-bay auction that was fair priced and I said to hell with it.

Galvatron: Can you post a pic of Grimlock Transformed? I am wondering what he looks like. And what is hisa alternate mode? A cybertronian tank?

Rattrap: Can he stand up on his own easily? I just can't picture 3 of those figures the size that they are piecing together firmly. And, does his super mode stick well or does it come apart?

Rattrap · Post by **Rattrap** » Sat Sep 06, 2008 2:36 pm

@Ratchet: Jetfire and Optimus stick together very well, and Overload fits on fairly secure. Its just that adding Overload is basically like adding a lead filled backpack to his shoulders. He tips right over (usually). Jetfire and Optimus are attached by two large pegs which hold very well. Overload is attached via 2 rails on Optimus' back and then his smaller arms fit into the backpack to lock it in place. Its less stable then the Jetfire connection, but it'll stay on there. He just can't stand up sometimes with all that weight so high on his shoulders.

Edit: After some testing, he stands perfectly well with Overload on his regular super legs. I suppose that's what we get for wanting combination only in the show, and maybe Japanese instructions.
