Is something wrong with the UK post office lately?I know several people (me included) that their packages have delayed about 10-15 days now.Deszaras wrote: I ordered and paid for this guy a month ago from a seller here in the Uk.
Far over the Misty Mountains cold, To dungeons deep and caverns old. The pines were roaring on the height, The winds were moaning in the night, The fire was red, it flaming spread, The trees like torches blazed with light.

I got me this guy:

he's going to be the basis for the first custom I plan to paint to sell on afterwards.
(his bio and alt mode are basiccaly those for mixmaster and i think he was originally intended to be the constructicon but was renamed and redecoed to avoid the hasbro two figures with the same name on sale at the same time. So expect to see him in G1 mixmaster colors when he's ready to be sold on. I'll even be altering his box and instructions to represent his mixmaster identity.)

good idea Dez!! Let me know what shades of green and purple you use.

I got these at Costco
Over the years, I've been a die-hard G1 fan. (and still am)
I've hardly bought any other toys from other series.
I've gotten Armada Unicron
Cybertron Primus
Titaniums (wich relate to G1)
Classics (wich also relate to G1
The 2007 Movie figures
then.. it happened... Like a drug dealer on a street corner
Hasbro knows my weekness!!
the 2007 movie line started selling repaints from the Cybertron line.
Some with G1 names or "really cool new paint jobs (example Big Daddy)
In the past, I never even looked at the Cybertron line.
I bought all of the repaints I could find and I've come to terms that those toys are built very strong.
A lot stronger than the Titaniums and Classics (example Galvatron)
And so now I'm addicted to the Cybertron toy line.
Each one I've checked out is very durable, they stay together during transformation, and I haven't seen one that is "back heavy"
After about 15 minutes of cutting and untwisting 16 twist ties....
I got to check these guys out..
I really like this Optimus Prime and Crumplezone
They both stand on their own very well
Neither are back heavy
and neither fall apart!!!!

I wish I could say sweet hauls to all of you. Alas I cannot see pics from anyone but DEZ, sweet hauls btw, and RP's Ironhide, awesome. I now have to get that Ironhide. The only other pics I've seen were him in package on ebay. It is because I'm at work but I'll have to get o line at home to see the rest. Cheers.
Galvy, what about "king" Starscream? Get that one yet?

Had some good shopping karma last week while visiting the in-laws for Thanksgiving. Found the three Animated Legends figures (Optimus, Bumblebee and Prowl) and Robot Heroes Kickback (w/ Ironhide). (I hope Hasbro eventually plans on producing Bombshell, too.)
The Legends figures are very well done, even if Prowl makes an iffy-looking motorcycle.
I wish I had known they were going to be making Legends figures for the Animated line several months back. I won't have dropped the cash on the Activators figures. (I do loves me some Legends.)

Ditto. I've been getting them from the Hasblow website. Seems they jack up the price in stores, and they're hard to find. On a side note, I can't wait for Classics Cyclonus to get here. Let's hope they make a Scourge!!!!Shrapnel wrote:(I do loves me some Legends.)
Here's my flea market haul. Nothing spectacular, but I did get a He-Man lunchbox for $3.

Only 3 TF's in there.

KO Megatron that makes me want a real one, super-cool mini Fort Max, Overdrive for $7.50

Here's my latest arrivals! They are from the Brave Series Toy Line and the stamps state they are "TAKARA/TAIWAN--NAGOYA TV."
1) This one is called Brave Liner Dagwon DX (1996)
It's three trains that combine into one big one.






2) This one is called Brave Express Might Gane DX.(1993)

***The back end extends to accomodate carrying the two smaller trains:




***This pic shows the comparative size of him to Star Convoy:

***The two smaller trains are his arms and only one small train transforms into a robot. Also, notice in the following pics the simple design in which to connect the arms. This is what Hasbro needs to use for future combiner modes figures!
