But first, CAPTION NEEDED

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y141/bansilverbullet/grimlocks2.jpg

A couple nights ago I asked a friend to take pictures of stuff in my apartment because I don't own a digital camera. They came out kind of blurry, and he didn't take pictures of everything. So... make what you will of it.

The Metroplex I bought from Transformersland in person. After placing an order through them a few months ago, I noticed the return address was 20 blocks from where I live! Turns out the owners and I have a bunch of mutual friends locally. Whoa. Small world. Anyway - Metroplex - he's in awesome condition. If I didn't have the chance to see it in person, I probably wouldn't have bought him. So if any of you are interested in a vintage Metroplex, go to Transformersland because not only are they overstocked in the figure, but they're super friendly, too.

Also the G2 devastator I bought from someone on Carbombya *RIP*

Good stuff.

What you need, is an infusion of 2-3 hundred mini-cons. :)

I'd be in serious trouble if I lived within driving distance of Transformerland...

I've ordered from them on numerous occasions, been mostly happy.

Back on topic, nice stuff. I want that blue G2 Grimlock, even though he is being defiled. Poor guy.

:D thanks!

My Grimlock is in poor condition. Sticker wear, misplaced stickers, chrome wear, loose limbs. To be honest, I paid $20 and it was too much. But it was my first classic-verse purchase during the summer, so it was a good learning experience about the TF market.

Oh man. You have no idea how careful I'm trying to be when making purchases from them. #-o

Btw, the G2 Grimlock isn't in great shape, but I'd be willing to let him go if you're interested.


Not related to this at all, I still have ALL of my G1s packed away in my parents garage, and I don't consider them part of my current collection. I'd like to consider the two sets separate.

Thanks!

I love my Abominus. Be weary of transforming Sinnertwin though, his head likes to snap at the base of the neck when trying to form Abominus' arm. Mine needs to be replaced eventually
