Wanted: TFNation Transformers Animated: Trial and Error comic.
I've been looking forever for a copy of this. I've never even seen one for sale. Now I'm branching out to ask various forums.

Name your price, dudes! I want it bad.

I am looking for a junker Combiner Wars Blades, specifically the torso and head.

PM me if you've got one and we can hammer out a deal.

Alternatively, if you've got a loose complete one for >$25 shipped, I'll gladly buy that from you as well.

****EDIT*****
I managed to get one so ignore this post. Thanks for the interest.

WTB: Maketoys MTCM-04A (Axle) and 04B (Rover) figures - used as Guardia combiner's legs. Would prefer MIB but will consider complete loose figures as well.

My Want List at the moment is:

Car Robots (RID / 2000) Megatron or Galvatron & Ultra Magnus MISB
Beast Machines Spystreak, RID Nightcruz, Universe Airraid (all the same mold) MISB
Beast Machines Motercycle drones MISB
Cyberjets MISB
Axcellerators MISB (G2 simple little Autobots)
Offtopic: Exo Squad MISB E-Frames

If anyone is looking, I have:

Prime Powerizer Megatron MISB
Prime Powerizer Optimus MIB
Prime Powerizer Ultra Magnus MIB

And I'm working on a few 5m peg weapons (3d printing). Will be posting some good screenshots. So if anyone is missing guns, or has a bots that don't have guns, hit me up.

I made them because Armada Transformers lack guns in general, and the modern Legends figures rarely have guns.
They aren't very fancy and they are 3d printed (so you do have lines, I can aceton them to make them smoother but it's a bit tricky)
Few photos are on my instagram (plasticpolygon).

Cheers

Hello

I sent you a PM back on the 31st. It is still sitting in my Out Box. Don't know if that means your In Box is full (???).

I have a MISB RID/Car Robots Megatron for trade/sale. Still need him?

Still looking for a Beast Machines Battle Unicron if anyone's got one.

Ok, now that he seems to be entirely sold out everywhere, I'm gonna put this here: I'm looking for any version of the Generations Metroplex, complete, doesn't have to be in box, for less than $260 (including shipping).

Oh wow, thanks! But wait, wouldn't shipping from Japan for something as big as Metroplex be quite a lot? I ask because it says it won't actually calculate shipping until multiple days after I've already gone through with the transaction.

Yea, that's gonna bring you over $260 in all likelihood.

In any case, I'm looking for a reasonably priced Soul of Chogokin Gunbuster. GX-34 or GX-34R.

by **Jeddostotle7** » Thu Mar 14, 2019 1:16 am

I'm also looking to buy Combiner Wars Rook and Air Raid.

edit: hhhhhhhhhh I think I'm gonna bite the bullet on the Mandarake order. Turns out it's not gonna be quite as bad of shipping as I imagined. Might push the cost up near $300, but my desire to have Metroplex is overtaking my reservations about price.

edit 2: aaaaaaaaaand it's sold out.

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

why does it keep being sold out at places right before I'm gonna order it from them

That's why when I REALLY want something, I no longer hesitate. Price be damned.

Unfortunately for me, it's usually just about having enough money. It seems so far that whenever I finally have enough expendable money to use on Metroplex, he goes out of stock wherever I was gonna get him from.

That's why you hold on that cash and wait.
It can easily be found on Ebay any... way…..
….Oh dear....

Well, your best bet is to keep at least 300$US on hand and monitor Mandrake closely. And once a listing pop in, you strike!

Yep, I'm hitting the "in-stock alert" option on their listings for every version of Generations Metroplex, and keeping an eye out on eBay.

And also hoping that the order I did somehow manage to place after I checked back on the actual listing and it said out of stock somehow goes through, but I'm not particularly hopeful about that.

Have you tried other forums and FB groups? I was dying for a Metroplex right around when Fort Max came out but ebay prices were through the roof. Around $300 IIRC. I tried those other avenues and a few people reached out to me with much more reasonable offers. I ended up getting a like new Metroplex that was missing all the weapons for $100. Used the money saved to snag a 3P sixgun that I was able to use as a weapon for Metroplex. In the end I was pretty happy.

I don't really use Facebook, and I've tried registering to TFW2005 but for some reason it just didn't work, I don't know if it was one of my browser extensions blocking some of the scripts needed for it to work, but I just couldn't create an account there.

Either way, it seems that, miraculously, the Mandarake order went through, so subtracting Generations Metroplex from the want list, and adding to the want list one of Generations Metroplex (any version)'s big red gun(s), so that he can have two of that gun like the G1 toy, similar to how the Takara Generations/Legends version did.

Congrats on finding that Metroplex!

I too, would like another Gen Metroplex gun. For reasons, that gun haven't even been KO'd yet. Weird because such a thing would sell like hotcakes.

Thanks. It ended up being ~$325 after shipping, which I really would rather have not had to pay, but I have tragically little patience/determination with regards to waiting to find someone in a forum or facebook group willing to part with it for less. At least that's one more thing I can cross off my "catching up on Generations collecting" needs list.

Congrats. I'm also impatient but luckily my cheapness is stronger lol. I'm still looking for SOC Gunbuster. Mandarake has one that'll cost me about $250 shipped and I'm hoping for a better deal. So my hunt continues.

Congrats man. and think of it this way, you were able to get the cheapest Metroplex available at the moment, no losses there.

Thanks. I still wish I'd managed to catch it at TFSource (where it was $280 + free shipping and I missed being able to buy it by only a couple days), or BBTS (where it was $260 and I missed by a week or so a couple weeks back), but still in the end, that's not toooo much less than what I ended up paying (at least, that's what I'm telling myself to justify it :lol:

).

Now that I've finally gotten the chance to actually open up Metroplex, it looks like, contrary to the listing on Mandarake, the item wasn't entirely complete: it's missing the visor, which isn't incredibly important, but I'm adding it to the want list here regardless.

Looking for the visor for Generations Metroplex.
