Fun Haul.

But I was so damn scared, here is what all Canadians DO NOT want to see when they look up their tracking number:



Stuck in Customs, nooooooooooooooo!

And this package was just over the customs limit of 100$

(In-stock)Transformers Legends LG16 Slipstream | 2,330.- | 1 | 2,330.-
(In-stock)Transformers Legends LG17 Blackarachnia | 2,330.- | 1 | 2,330.-
(In-stock)Transformers Adventure TAV30 Battle Grimlock | 3,250.- | 1 | 3,250.-
(In-stock)Transformers Adventure TAV32 Rumble & Frenzy | 2,640.- | 1 | 2,640.-
(In-stock)Q-Transformers QT25 Lockdown (Yoroshikuu!) | 800.- | 1 | 800.-
(In-stock)Q-Transformers - QT20 Megatron | 800.- | 1 | 800.-
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Payment method: PayPal
Shipping method: SAL Small Packet Registered
Shipping fee: 2190
TOTAL: 14340 JPY

But there was no customs in the end, phew!

Shipping was great too, just as cheap (if not cheaper) than shipping to someone in the same country as me.





That Grimlock is worth every single penny. I love the remolded shoulders and how they transform better. And Slipstream is a huge improvement over Windblade. The plastic is better, especially on the heels, adding more stability, and the mold is more alligned. In the end, I would much ather transform her than Windblade anyday.

Not a fan of the Qs (they just dont do it for me) but I was glad to have a few. Black Arachnia has the same stability issues but she looks great and Frenzy and Rumble are fun little guys. They remind me of how complex the scouts used to be. Deluxes made smaller. Nice headsculpts too!

Will, you lucky basterd! I'm still waiting for my girly trio...

EDIT:

Checking the tracking number Amiami provided me on Canada Post............. No results.

Checking using the Japanese link Amiami provided..... I see this:

Wait... That last screenshot was just an example on the homepage... doy....

Here's the real status:

Haha, return to sender, that would have been bad and we both know it happened before.

Sorry to see yours is also stuck at customs but it should be fine since you went SAL. I think the trick now is that the amount doesnt matter that much (to an extent of course) as long as you go SAL.

[Cobotron]

Nice Will! I'm glad you're digging Battle Grimlock.

That was a close one K. I always sweat bullets when the tracking says "in customs" too.

and HS, thanks for the bday well wish bro.

I just got the three CHUG Coneheads and Universe 2.0 Starscream along with Action Master Krok

also on the way, but not yet arrived:

MP-10 reissue, Slipstream, Warpath and Runabout. Also should be getting the PC-04 Menasor set.

[william-james88]

Check out my sweet japanese haul, Takara TF toys from diverse lines. I hope I make Scotty P round with my minicon purchase, the prices were not bad overall:

Transformers Animated TA-44 Armorhide Y1,404x1

Transformers Prime AM-20 Ironhide Y1,296x1

Transformers Micron Densetsu MM-09 Destruction Micron Exdimentions Y756x1

Transformers Adventure TAV09 Swoop Y2,160x1

[-Kanrabat-]

That size difference between Deluxes from Animated and Deluxes from Prime!

[no-one]

Hey Will, that's a sweet deal you got on that AM Ironhide. Where'd ya nab that guy at?

[-Kanrabat-]

Got a sweet ass haul today.

First, voyagers are only 20$ at Walmart so I grabbed the white Optimus Prime.

Then, after a meet-up with fellow Seibertronian Judge Deliberata, I got the following:

MIB Henkei Megatron
MISB Titanium Ultra Magnus
Loose Universe Galvatron with card and everything
And finally, a brand new Generations Gears that he was very nice to middleman me.

Thanks a lot, dude, for this amazing deal!

[Rodimus Prime]

Kanrabat, I'm envious for that Titanium Magnus. I've always wanted one as well.

Today I finally got around to buying CW Ironhide, Mirage, and Sunstreaker. They're awesome limbs for Silverbolt.

Now, I need Titanium The Fallen to go with Magnus.

Also, I plan to buy some white bots to go with White Optimus Prime. A Prowl, another Rook and....?

I'm envious of that United Megatron, it looks glorious. Congrats on your haul Kanrabat!

ALPHA BRAVO!!!
Man, the sun is shining on Quebec today. Great hauls, both you Northies!

Roddy P, I like your Scramble style.

Edit: I too am jelzy about K's Megatron.

That's not United, that's Henkei.
Lots more red than United's more G1 accuracy.

Henkei on the right:


He have so many shiny chrome! He'll be a nice complement to my fruity Universe version.

I knew which deco it was, just forgot the exact line it was issued in

[Judge Deliberata]

Kanrabat, I thank you as well for tonight's meeting and sale. I hope you enjoy Magnus, Megatron, Galvatron and Gears, I could tell they went to a great home.

Most of all, I truly thank you for restoring a beloved cherished memory to me, one of my very favorite guys from childhood - G1 Punch/Counterpunch. It feels right to have him back with me after twenty long years. Can't wait to get him armed and reprolabeled.

And the extra little Go-Bot guy's neat too.

The pleasure was all mine!
And good luck finding C-CP's guns at a decent price. Unless he have 5mm pegs in hands, he could weild anything.


Right now, Gears is with his G1 daddy and Henkei Megatron replaced Hegemon in my main Megatron display. I'm not kidding! I still need to try out U-Galvy and to unseal T-Magnus.
Thanks again, dude!

[Rodimus Prime]

First Aid. He's so crispy white, he DESERVES a Ratchet repaint. Hasbro dropped the ball with that one.

As for Scramble style, my "Superion" mirrors my "Menasor" which is Cyclonus with the Stunticon limbs. Would that be Galvatronus instead, as the identity of the torsobot determines the identity of the combiner? And I swapped Prowl with First Aid, so now Defensor has Prowl and Streetwise for legs, and Superion has Ironhide and First Aid for legs.

The newest addition to my shelf is one I've been mulling over since Lena's been listing them, Alternity Mitsuoka Orochi Starscream.



Dat freakin' lightpiping. As much as I like the aesthetics, I'm not crazy about the slider joints in the knees...specifically at the moment because I can't seem to get one of them un-clipped. Any suggestions?

[-Kanrabat-]

Good luck, because the Alternity seeker mold is bad. Really bad. It look cool in both modes, but it have more issues than an inbred bulldog.

I know it's not everyone's favorite, but I like everything about it except for that damn slider joint... but I hate ALL slider joints, so that's not even specific to this mold.

So sorry I gave you one once, hopefully you will forgive me

While I dislike transforming them I love both the modes and think the robot mode (especially for the non Starscream Seekers) is really nice and the idea of crating the classic seeker look from a car is very unique.

I'm wanting to get an Alternity Prime. I hear they are pretty good. That true?

Hell yeah he's awesome! So awesome that the mold was exclusively used for the premiun Kiss Players 2.0 Grand GT line!





Alternity Megatron is also a great mold.
