got the pom poms for Roadgrabber today!

Where'd you get it? Regular mom and pop store? Flea Market or ebay?

I had that toy about ten years ago. Loved those pom pom guns.

Ebay, about $22 for the whole thing

Ebay, boon or bane alright! I had to replaced my G1 Countdown Rocket because my previous ebay haul had beetch azz discoloration. The vendor ( Dutch) didn't inform me I know you can return/refund but it would have cost me more so just like you, I found one bone white from a Canadian vendor + original decals.

I actually got the shell last week, and I figured out I could get the pom poms and the shell/robot a good bit cheaper. Plus, I have a softspot for the incomplete figures that are slightly beat up

That happened when I was trying to find the Battle Force 5 Diecast Splitwire and Gearslammer. No luck no luck no luck. then I found Gearslammer and then 6 showed up! And then I found Splitwire in a random lot 2 minutes after it was posted. Bought instantly for less than what I won the Gearslammer for, and I still got another version of all 6 cars i already had!

Been a while since I got any TFs due to nothing new being in the shops here yet. Found Prime Hot Shot in charity shop today for £1 though so that's ok. I've had it before both in this version as Bumblebee (both regular and Beast Hunters). It's a good toy. HOpeing to find some good stuff at the first local car boot sale of the year this Sunday.

Even without guns, finding a random unbroken Prime Hotshot for a buck at a thrift shop is one AMAZING find. He's an awesome little dude. Great mold with even better colors.

[Carnivius_Prime]

A couple on a local Facebook sales group page listed this whole bunch for £25. I offered them another £5 to have them delivered cos while it was only about 10 miles away I don't drive and there's no busses from here to there.


Most of the ones meant to have accessories have them all such as Darkmount (I wanted this figure again), Starscream, Bumblebee and Breacher. Wreckloose has weapon but no cyberkey. G1 Triggerhappy seems in very good shape with barely any sticker wear but missing Targetmaster. Forgo how fun Ejector is. I think the Powercore figure is Icepick and he has his buddy. And there's universe Beachcomber. Seems to be a dark G1 Swindle in there I presume from some redecoed re-release? Whole load of minicons including a lot of complete teams. Some of them I have no idea what they do like the ones in the bottom center. Will be sorting those out with help.


That Lego Hulk was included even though I don't collect those.


Not a bad haul for £30. Should be able to make the money back selling off the figures I don't need.


@kanrabat yeah he's a decent toy. I dunno if he has any place in my collection as I'd sold off the same toy a while ago but he's certainly one of the Prime toys I like.

[william-james88]

Wow theres even a takara exclusive prime bumblbee in there

[Carnivius_Prime]

Wow theres even a takara exclusive prime bumblbee in there

What? where? :O

[Kurona]

Damn that's a good haul! Really jealous.

That Swindle redeco is from RiD 2001 Ruination. I think he was called Rollbar?

Ahhh no wonder I couldn't find that on the Armada mini-con pics I was looking at. I wonder where the guy got that from then? It's very odd to just have a Takara exclusive just pop up in a lot like this in the UK. Usually only bought by collectors who definitely wouldn't just sell their lot quickly on Facebook I imagine.

EDIT: mystery solved thanks to info on TFWiki
'The entire first wave of Gacha Arms Microns were made available in the UK as a blindbagged line, released by Tomy and licensed by Hasbro UK, distributed through Esdevium Games. The packaging does not give any names to the Microns inside, and in fact doesn't even call them "Microns" or "Mini-Cons" or anything. '

Damn that's a good haul! Really jealous.

Ah cool. Thanks. Think the RotF Scout toy in the pic is called Rollbar too. :O

[Carnivius_Prime]

Weird how things sorta go together. Starscream and the Starsaber vs Bumblebee and the Bumblebee Sword.

[Kurona]

Man... as a kid I was obsessed with mini-cons. I loved them and I wanted that Star Saber so much

@Carnivius_Prime
You lucky basterd! That's one HELL of an amazing haul at such a low, low price!
Yes, even in pounds sterlings.

I didn't think it was quite that amazing but I certainly think I got much more than my moneys worth.

Amazing would be like.. I dunno, my idea of an amazing find would be a rare and high quality figure like movie Leader Starscream complete for like £5 or so or . Or when my friend beat my G1 Jetfire for £2 find at car boot sale last year by finding one in a charity shop with ALL it's armour and gun (just missing that damn black clip) for just a couple quid too. :O

Those would be way pass "amazing". There would be "mind-bolwn-nerdgasm-mzing" hauls!

What I mean is just consider buying each of these figures on Ebay...plus shipping... ONE at a time.
Because that's what I did for many of the ones you got!

Got the poms poms for Gunrunner!

To make a general point "Bootsales are great".

------

But I'm also pleased to say I finally got a TR Triggerhappy now - boy was that a chore to find.

------

And yes wave 1 and 2 of the Capsule Microns were sold in the UK _ I have both kinds and they seem to be identical to my Japanese ones.

They sometimes have them on the tills in TRU-UK and some discount stores had them in with the blind bag figures too. we also got blind bagged Minicons too... though some of them were remoulded or repainted and thus unique. Like the Helicopter had folding blades for example and the monster truck & Dragon was a unique colour.
