Very nice Emerje. How much was just the shipping?

9,120JPY ($80). It was cheaper shipping them together since God Fire Convoy alone cost the bulk of the shipping (about 5,000jpy) going by the shipping chart. Normally I prefer much cheaper SAL shipping and just waiting, but Nemesis Prime doesn't qualify thanks the MtB Leaders coming in long boxes (MtB Megatron was 3,505jpy to ship at the same size and weight which also lead me to combine shipping with lighter stuff back in February). All together the two Legends shipped for less than SAL.

Ahh ok. Yea, I was wondering why the shipping cost of MB Jetfire was so much when I checked a few places.

From Mr. Ironhidensh:



I honestly would have waited to see him if he weren't a TRU exclusive, but he is pretty damn cool. I love the blue they used here

[shajaki]

Oh Saj, are your doubles for local friends? If so, that's pretty considerate.

Nope, all for my selfish self
I mean, I have, and would more in the future, but no one axed.

For display purposes, I need 3 ROTF Prime's and 2 Jetfire's. One Prime stand alone, one to make ROTF Jetpower Prime, and one to make DOTM Jetwing Prime.

And shajaki , if backseat space restricts your TF enjoyment, maybe it's time to get a Caddy. Or better yet, a Lincoln Continental.

I'll never let my baby go!

That’s a really impressive haul, Shajaki. I’m still on the fence about ordering any of these, but I’m sorely tempted by that Bee, Nemesis, and Bonecrusher.

Honestly, HammerBee is disappointing. I got the SS Bee beforehand, and it's more solid and impressive. As for the other two, I didn't open them. But the molds are fine enough.

Hey Shaj - is Jetfire's packaging really big and bulky, or is it really heavy? I got hit with sticker shock on the shipping price for the figure. Amazon Japan's shipping price is about the same as the figure itself.

I was actually pretty surprised with how big the box (and figure for that matter) was. Weight, I dunno, probably standard for it's size?

Got these thingies this week

[-Kanrabat-]

At last.

The GRAIL I wanted for so many years but nope'd at the price every single time I saw him...

From your friendly neighbor Deathsaurus1...

The one...

The only...

The original...

MP-03 Starscream!



Sure, it's used but it's 100% UNBROKEN and come with every single tidbits, the right labels already applied.



That jet mode remain perfection.



I transformed him as if I was trying to deactivate a live bomb. With measured care a mother would give her newborn. I even reffered to the instructions JUST to be sure, even though I used to transform that mold blindly before. I am NOT breaking this fabled Greenscream.



I always regreted selling off my old MP-03-Walmart-G1-colors to buy the crappy MP-11 corronation. Oh I missed that smug bastard.



Dat kibbletastic back!
Haters gonna hate.



Finally, the controversial MP Greenscream is at his rightful place. I love it, I LOVE IT!



I'm very happy with the original MP-03. To have that important piece of MP History in my possession is a privilege. Well worth the 170$US shipped. Thank you very, very much, Deathsaurus1 for not only having taken great care of your old MP-03, but for selling it to me for such a (relatively) low price!

[Deathsaurus1]

Its great to see that mp-3 reached you safely!!

It is also great knowing that he is with a collector that will take care of ol greeny.

I thank you again for provding me with this long seeked grail.

My next two grails are unfortunately so far out of reach....

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiice! Even though I'll be going for Maketoys' Howling Meteor as my MP Starscream, I still kinda want MP-03 in some form. That jet mode is just delightful.

Keep hunting but better hurry up. MP-03 in any colors is becoming more and more expensive as time go. The mold seem to be amassing a cult following of some sort and even the not rare Walmart Skywarp is getting pretty pricey.

I consider myself VERY lucky to have found a 100% complete and unbroken original MP-03 for just 170$US shipped.

You know I'm one of the biggest advocates for MP-3. I love discovering new fans of him, and seeing get in their respective hands. Grats!

These are the masterpiece figures available at The collector s marketplace. In pheonix arizon!

When you do, post them in this topic instead: what-you-find-on-your-tf-hunt-t103992s125.php

Since that would be a better place than this thread where its more about the purchases we made

Man, you would have lost your mind if you had come to my local geek store last summer. All those G1s I got... 99% of the action masters, so many headmasters, rare and 100% complete pretenders... All that stuff gotten by dumping some old unwated stuff gamestop style. If you have time to waste, search the haul thread and look for my posts. The things I got from that store is pure madness and I spendt relatively little money.

Hell yeah! When handling the Takara original MP-03, I felt like I had MORE value than the 220 Monopoly dollars I paid. A far cry from the 320$CAN paid for MP-11, who felt like a cheapass regular 50$ leader. Greenscream applied a bit or Preparation-H on the still sensitive scar MP-11 left me.

March Madness comes to a close with these two. But damn, talk about going out with a bang

[-Kanrabat-]

Not sure why the interest in Grand Maximus (appart a "why not?"), but Greatshot is NICE. Dunno if I'll ever get him because I don't feel paying his price of admission... for now.

Honestly I'd be lying if I said the allure of exclusivity wasn't a part of it. But I also really genuinely like it, more so than Fort. I prefer his color scheme to Fort (although Brave is superior to both), he has some great paint apps giving him a real premium feel, and... it's Grand Max. I mean, what are the chances that I'll ever get a G1 Grand? Hell, I still don't even have a CR/RID Brave yet! It's a great chance to own a piece of TF history so to speak.

I can count this as a "why not?".

After all, I think that excuse is for at least 90% of all the nerd stuff we get!

Noooo... I count things like these as a "why not".
