New toy purchases

[Sideways]

I purchased Classics Prime and the G3 Trailer today - can't wait to get them.

[PrimeDirective]

Got Animated Bumblebee, Oil Slick, and Snarl today.

What specifically is going to be so bad on 4-1-10. All I heard was a listing fee increase from .35 to .50


Just got the 4 gig ravage jump drive.

[Banzai-Tron]

LD, off the top of my head, and without looking up specifics:
1) Total fee increases (between either listing or FVF) of anywhere from 50% to nearly 200%, depending on what sort of seller you are (i.e. low volume-low price point, low volume-high price point, high volume-low price, etc).
2) A ridiculous emphasis on the stupid DSR system that will FORCE you into a MUCH higher fee table if you are a low volume seller and get a couple of jerks, or even just a few people that don't understand the damage a rating of "4 - Very Good" does to a seller.
3) The virtual abolishment of Ebay Stores
4) A VERY nebulous restructuring of the search function. No one really knows if this will be a good thing or a bad thing quite yet.

Bought these spiffy, vintage Transformer roller skates. Never used, with original tags, size 9, boys.


Like all 80s kids' footwear, they sport velcro fasteners. They also have lenticular images on the sides that you might just barely be able to make out as changing from a picture of Optimus with "More Than Meets the Eye" and a picture of the roller skates.
Now I just need to chop off my toes so I can fit in them. Or wait who knows how many years until my boy can fit into them.

[Silverbolt]

I had those! mine were VERY used!

I am back on my TF binge!

G1 Protectobots /Defensor, 100% complete. Alternator Grimlock w/ reprolabels applied, Alternators Cliffjumper (custom), Alternators Blur (custom) and a g1 Prowl!

I am really excited to trash my knock off Defensor once I replace him w/ the real deal! I broke the ko the first day I got him... hard to have a display fig I can't touch!

Pics to follow once they arrive!

[Swindle]

Nice finds everyone.

Picked up ROTF Brawn and Lockdown today neat figures.

[Countdown]

@ Swindle: Brawn looked cool from the pics that I saw, not too excited about Lockdown myself (that would prob. change if I bought him tho).

I went ahead and purchased WST Shockwave & Blaster today. Gonna look good w/ my Ruination/Bruticus. I personally blame SentinelPrime for that. His pics looked to kick-@$$ not to copy him and buy it!

[captainamerica]

purchased some Henkeis today: Red Alert, Skyfire, and dark Skyfire. I'll post lots o pix when they arrive.

i got 3 wst primes off of ebay within the past few weeks.

wst clear blue g1 prime
wst clear g2 prime
wst clear black g2 prime

the funny thing was the diaclone wst sticker sheets were used to actually tape the boxes shut! i was kind of annoyed as i would have liked to get the sticker sheets as well but they were unperforated... oh well....

here are the pics:




now... only to find the full sized versions of them and i will be happy!

[Countdown]

That's rotten. I wonder what the heck they were thinking.

[LD2062]

I bought this lot of parts because I saw this in the corner of the pic:



Sadly its not in as good a shape as it looks. Its missing the bottom of the stand and the spinning guns doesn't seem to work right.

This was also interesting:


The only other thing worth keeping was the BW scorponok bee.

[captainamerica]

I don't know what the yellow thing is, but I want to slap you with a fish for tossing out a box of parts (even crappy KO parts) without posting pics first!!!

[LD2062]

LOL, you misunderstand. That I deem them not worth keeping, does not mean I tossed them in the trash. I don't throw anything transformers away. I tossed them on the parts pile. One of these days I'll dump them on ebay.

If you need parts like arms or something, send me a message. The pile of parts has got to be over 150 pounds by now.

The yellow thing is the gun to the (European exclusive?) Lightformer Deftwing (G1/G2?) They're worth a TON of money complete. I saw some guy selling the whole line on ebay last week or so. Deftwing went for like $80+, maybe 100+.

[Minerva]

Nice finds! If the gun was complete I'd be very interested in buying it from you.

Actionmaster Axer's motorcycle isn't a bad find either. Too bad you're missing quite a few things.

I should have known better (tucks fish behind shield)

Ah, an Euro Exclusive. My Transformers knowledge after 1988 is spotty at best. Thanks for the info!

[Soundbluster]

I purchased an Action Master Optimus Prime (missing the Action Master and a couple of guns but otherwise intact with everything else in good nick) for a measly 5 quid including postage off eBay

Also got an entire G1 Countdown MIB - with the box in fantastic sturdy shape for its age - for only 20 quid. I feel like thats a real bargain.

Oh and two transforming robots that turn into heads that don't belong to Transformers as far as i know (see ID thread)

Some people do sell stuff for exorberant prices on evilBay but you do get some good bargains i think

[Piranacon]

last night i picked up scout scattershot (the last scout i needed for ROTF) and picked up dlx blue steel sideswipe, lockdown, and ratchet (the last of the dlx class i needed) alomost done with the ROTF line just need a few more voyagers and the new megatron

[NUCKATRON]

Its been a while, but I just relocated from Los Angeles to Ohio, and picked up my first TF here. Got the miniature 7 piece Walmart Exclusive Devastator. I'm liking Ohio!
