I traded with a store owner, who stocked Star Saber. I brought in a bunch of sealed G2 stuff and returned home with a Saber. Contacts are a good thing. [/quote]

You did it RHA! You totally got me Haha, man, you are good and you did indeed contribute way more than I would. Sealed G2s sounds awesome though, but I guess you are more of a G1 guy afterall.[/quote]
Sadly, I am a Geewunner.[/quote]Why sadly? That's nothing to be ashamed of. I'm currently culling my collection, making it more G1-centric.
Especially characters that appeared in the G1 comics. My roots as a TF fan.

Not exactly a bot, but I figured my MPs could use some entertainment

I think your collection is amazing! The only thing that would be sad about me owning all those mint G1s would be the fact that I shouldnt play with them

It's a small price to pay for having a wall like a Japanese toystore from 1989.

I need to put up some collection pics soon.

TF haul, special "ABOUT FREAKING TIME!" edition.

CW Leader Starscream, stuck in TrU's limbo for almost 2 weeks. Still, 40$CAN with taxes and no shipping is just awesome!

And finally, finally, the Takara special girl trio got unstuck from customs! Without any fees. Kinda expansive at 30$CAN each including shipping, but well worth it for some sweet Takara exclusives.



I'll now ironically take my time to open them.

[Cobotron]

K, you been following the Legends thread? Might want to read the last three pages before you get to into that spider.

Great haul though, the other two ladies are great, and an awesome Screamer for the Starscream addict.

2590 Yen shipped (I learnt from my solo arcee purchase) is a far cry from 29.99$ US at BBTS BEFORE shipping.

Thats 28$ cdn (21.12$ US) shipped instead of 40$ cdn (29.99$ US) before shipping. When I look at it that way, it sounds like a sweet deal

Who is that Arcee repaint?

Better late then never!
Last month my husband and I went back over to Japan for a week. Of course I had to do some toy shopping and this time, I came prepared! We took a heavy duty travel box that my husband uses for work and I ended up filled it along with my suitcase and a carry-on bag ha ha

[william-james88]

sooooo many Qs

Congrats!

[Cobotron]

[quote="xRotorstormx"]An entire mountain of AWESOMENESS!!!! [/quote]That is a sight to behold! Such an amazingly diverse pile of stuff.
You are one lucky gal to get to make a pilgrimage to the Motherland, and return home with the Motherload!
Aside from it being Transformers paradise, how was the rest of Japan?

[Rodimus Prime]

STAHP! U R MAKING ME WANT A STARSABER! I HAZ NO MONEY 4 A STARSABER!

Seriously, though, great haul. I myself am waiting on that Magnus to come in the mail.

Thanks I was pretty pleased with what I was able to come up with. Japan is really fun and very relaxing. The first time we went over there, my husband was working so we were on a tight schedule and didn't have much time to really explore. This time we were able to do a lot of walking and visit some of the gardens and temples. We stayed primarily in Tokyo just because I became so wrapped up in toy shopping but we did make it to Tokyo Disneyland which was a bit surreal because it is exactly the same as Disney World Hopefully we will make it back in the next few years, I'd love to be able to take the bullet train.

lol! Starsaber was the one that I had gone into the trip prepared to buy, with how in favor the US dollar is to the yen, I was able to find an opened Starsaber, complete for about $130. I figured there was no point in buying a sealed one when I planned to open it anyway. When it comes to opened toys, the Japanese view that as a defect and tend to discount them pretty good.

[no-one]

Holy crap that haul needs a wheelbarrow. All them Q's, that'll be a fun display.

I also got a few arms microns which have been interesting trying to figure out how to display properly

and MP Tracks just arrived today!

[Optimizzy]

*looks at Rotorstorms massive awesome haul*

*looks back at his own*

sigh. never mind.

lol. I have the combaticons on the way. Im pretty excited by them. I did NOT get Scattershot or Onslaught. I want the silver Onslaught. I hope I dont regret this.

[quote="william-james88"]:shock: sooooo many Qs

Indeed. That's what I call OVERKILL!

Yup, pretty much! There are only a few now that I am missing from the Q line, I think #1 Prime, Tracks and the new ones that just came out like last week... Didn't buy the Eva one because I know nothing about Eva and it was kinda pricey.

[quote="RAcast"]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?[/quote]

I don't think I ever got an answer to my query here. One of those slider joints is still stuck, and I don't seem to have a screwdriver that can undo the screw in his knee. Any suggestions?

Also, I found Animated Oil Slick a couple weeks ago, which was pretty cool. Gotta say, as someone who's not crazy about the TFA aesthetic, he does it well.

Shh, he's a gift for a friend that never reads these posts!

[Rodimus Prime]

And finally my CW Leader Magnus is here. I thought Minimus Ambus would be a little bigger...

I think the only way to fix that Alternity starscream is to put it in the microwave oven for 3 minutes. If it dosent work, the conventional oven will do. Use the "self cleaning" option and let it run it's course.

As for Animated oilslick, It's one of my favorite TF ever! And it's super cheap too. Guys, if you don't have it, you have no excuses to miss out.
