What do you mean by Reissue MP Prime? Mp-1? The Walrmart 20th Anniversary Prime?

I actually have a few extra pieces for one if you are interested.

Universe/Classics

bumblebee (missing the rocket thing)
Ramjet (missing null rays)
Rodimus
Prowl
Mirage
Galvatron

for $35 (shipping included).

I had all of these except for Galvatron, but I wanted some extra molds to repaint. Anyway, Galvatron looks pretty good; but it sucks that I can't pose him next to Cyclonus because he's so short, and it looks ridiculous.

Wrapping up a trip to Singapore...I got a pretty good haul at some "un-American" prices:

-Encore Omega Supreme
-Ehobby Black Megatron
-Ehobby Sunstorm
-Henkei Red Alert
-Henkei Smokescreen
-Henkei Silverstreak
-Henkei Astrotrain
-Henkei Inferno
-TFC#20 Kup/Wheelie

Anyone looking at taking a trip to Singapore any time soon, make sure you go to Chinatown and hit up China Square Central Shopping Centre. Especially on Sunday during the flea market. Chances are pretty good that if it's something you're looking for, you'll probably find it. I saw everything from several boxed Fort Max's to a complete set of all Binaltech figures.

Dude, I'd've traded some of my haul for one.

News Credits: 3 · Tue Apr 28, 2009 8:39 pm

I wanna get one too, if i can find it again next weekend.

For today's haul, I picked up the 2 for 1 TFCC Airazor special from the post office today. Debatable if I should have or not, but I'm glad I picked that up when I had the chance. Great remold of a good figure. Card was larger than I expected, though.

My local finally had Classics Cyclonus in; there were only four so I made sure to pick up one on site. I have long wanted a Cyclonus toy, I believe him to be easily one of the best designed of the 86 line (certainly much better than Scourge/the sweeps), and this Classics rendition of the character does not disappoint, especially in robot mode were it looks glorious. Nightstick is pretty good too! One of the best of the Classics, and I consider that very high praise indeed. The shop also had many other delights, including a G1 Ultra Magnus which I what badly, but alas many of them somewhat out of my price range, though I might be tempted to go back and pick up a Classics Hound sometime.

Wow, seeing all those hauls makes mine look puny :shock:

But it can't be helped, as I just lost my job! Well, intern position. Lemme explain: I was working as an intern for an airline in Accounting, hoping to eventually get a full position. Of course, economic crisis strikes, no chances of that job as they can't (read: aren't allowed to) hire people, and my intern contract can only be extended 2 times. I just had my 2nd one, so my carreer there is at an end for now. They still want me, they just don't have the means

As a consolation prize I got these:

Universe Legends G1 Series Bumblebee
Universe Legends Classic Series Megatron

I'm slowly growing into loving the Legends Class. Then again, I automatically love all things small...

I've had a swell couple of weeks on ebay. I've managed to grab the following for $110.00 BUX.

- Transmetal Optimal Optimus
- Transmetal 2 Dinobot
- Transmetal Cheetor
- Transmetal Rampage
- Transmetal Tarantulas

And currently bidding on an Ultra class Optimus Prime. I'm a Beast Wars fan at heart. While my uncle is G1.

Just picked up TFA Safeguard. I'd avoided him until now because he looked odd in pictures, but bought him because I like the character in teh cartoon. Whilst not the greatest figure ever, he's actually reasonably cool. Sure, the combiner gimmick could have been done better (maybe a top & bottom arrangement, rather than left & right, to allow some articulation), but he looks OK.

Also, comic acquisitions in the last couple of weeks...

Defiance # 4
Spotlight: Jazz
Spotlight: Drift
Spotlight: Volume 1
Spotlight: Volume 3
Escalation TPB
Stormbringer TPB
Devastation TPB
Spotlight: Revelation (why does this have a subtitle, rather than a volume number?)

I'm loving the Ore-13 story
