After owning and falling out of love with the Botcon Seekers, I can honestly say that it's not worth it unless you consider yourself a hardcore collector. In which case, knock yourself out.

$85 then wht ever postage is, so best deal ive seen around

tbh i cant decide, i think i'll let him make the first move, because he did say he would email me 3 days ago.

i hope tfsource email me and say they sent um kit or sumthin, jus so i know they still remember, ive only ordered from them once before, but cant remember them sendin out a sent email, they are a big company after all

wht would make me a hardcore collector?, i got a display case?

The criteria are totally up to you.

I am totally hardcore when it comes to my Skywarps, but everything else: meh.

damnit, decisions are so hard to make, even none life changing tf ones

Thu Sep 25, 2008 8:00 pm

I'd say im a hard core collector, I collect core G1 characters

hard decisions to pay too much for something you really like, I been so close to pressing that buy it now button for galvatron

theres been a few times when i think i shouldve bought tekkas seekers
but there not justifiable

depends on a lot of things, mostly how much money you have to burn

yeh i think the same about the seekers, theer nice but not that nice, thats y im only gettin henks tc

i got money to burn, left over student loan, obv gonna have to pay it back, but im quite gud with money, i think i'll go with my first plan and wait see wht he says, wait for him to make a move

btw is that broken laptop money gonna pay for galvatron if you decide to get him?

Thu Sep 25, 2008 8:07 pm

I starring at the page all night, someone else could jump in right now and buy it now arrg maybe i should press it

no - surly a better offer will come around sooner or later, right?

yea i spose id use that money, i'd have to put the cheque in the bank anyway
i got about £200 at the moment and not many expenses but im not sure whens my next payday, no luck what so ever on the job search and no dole till november, it wouldnt be the smartest thing

I'd get animated Grimlock if I were you, classics G sucks in a bunch of ways

I know you hate ani or is it just massive chins? but still AG is way better than CG or HG

ok thanks mate, i mite have to get it from kapow, i'l have to wait though, hope its not a one time offer

I've still got an Animated Grimlock going spare if you want one. My run down on them would be:

Classics - transformation scheme similar to Pretender Grimlock, OK dino mode, legs that look like thigh boots in bot mode, loose ball joints going into the thighs, a bit small at only deluxe sized.

Animated - fairly G1 transformation, fairly toon acurate, big hole in the front of dino mode where his robot mode head lives, great flaming sword is a bonus, decent size.

Of course you could always try to track down the Energon Grimlock/Swoop two pack, probably the most G1 inspired of the modern Grimlocks (although those guys a VERY pricey when they show up these days) or wait for the heavily rumoured Masterpiece.

My Alt Sideswipe is still looking for a home :wink:

(was it you who was interested in him before? the relevant pm's have vanished.)

News Credits: 5 · Fri Sep 26, 2008 7:27 am

Alt Sideswipe you say? *strokes chin* How much you looking for for him?

Hypothetically, of course.

And it's the weak man I am. I go to Play to pick up Bulkhead for £8, then see they've got Salvage for £7, and I've wanted him for a while... ooh, and Blitzwing for £13? Well, I'm not going to see that price beaten for a while. *sigh* So much for saving money.

You interest me, sir. Hath you pictures and/or a description of his condition?

News Credits: 5 · Fri Sep 26, 2008 10:53 am

Just saw the mini-con 12 pack in Woolworth's. Couldn't justify £35 at the time and I'm now regretting it. Never mind, there were plenty there :-?

News Credits: 8 · Fri Sep 26, 2008 11:04 am

i;d get it at a woolies say if it was half price at a sale, not a big fan of minicons tbh

anyone here watch the unit?

News Credits: 5 · Fri Sep 26, 2008 3:28 pm

Works out about £2.90 per Minicon. Not bad, but I don't want to spend £35 on Minicons. Like Electron said, at half price I might be interested.

Fri Sep 26, 2008 3:45 pm

just picked up Uni Prowl and Galvatron from my local TRU, has a solution to Prowl's 'Sticky Roof Syndrome' been found yet? coz mine is a lil sticky

News Credits: 5 · Fri Sep 26, 2008 3:51 pm

Only solution is to use some kind of clear coat on it. But Galvatron being out is excellent news, really looking forward to picking one up.

News Credits: 8 · Fri Sep 26, 2008 4:01 pm

galvatrons not the right size for me so pass, and acid storm if he was all green yeh okies, but nah

News Credits: 5 · Fri Sep 26, 2008 5:15 pm

Acid Storm is only getting bought if there's nothing else I want. This is very unlikely.

I would hold off buying it.
Can't remember where I read it, or who said it, but it is gonna be like the UM/Skywarp pack and slashed to half price and then stay at that price. They have to sell it at full price for a while to be able to claim it's half price.
The guy said it is advertised at that price in the new catalogue.

News Credits: 2 · Fri Sep 26, 2008 5:20 pm

I always find myself wishing I'd bought a few more of those two packs. I could have made a lot of money reselling them after the CC armour was revealed. :-(

News Credits: 8 · Sat Sep 27, 2008 7:53 am

tekka your dragon ballz (lol) got holes in them

the guy about shatterverse hotrod got back to me end price is now £62, shipped

but this is while our currency is 1.00 GBP = 1.83999 USD

while im pretty sure last week it was £1 = 1.7 USD, so i mite ask him to wait so i get a better deal.

i've currently secured sum UM launchers £2.60 for the pair, i just need missles
