The Red Grimlock is sweet. would make a good BM T-wrecks update. Of course he comes with Fireman Sam; his arch nemesis. And naturally they live in Jurassic Park.

 

Nope, I remember Paul posting pictures of a 1:1 diecast limb KOs and then there was someone else who posted a pic of the same size diecast Onslaught later

 

Yeah, exactly that one. They're also somewhat simplified, apparently. Besides the ones that were at Sirtoys, I think Smartlulu might carry them too in their Aliexpress store...

Yeah I just checked and then checked Taobao and I can only find the limbs for sale even though one listing had that picture of the diecast Onslaught

 

I like that dino truck. I think they're from the diarobo and diapet series.



The trains combine to this guy.

 

A Grimlock that comes with fucking Fireman Sam? That's my son's dream present.

I really need to take a vacation to Asia pretty soon, and bring an empty suitcase to fill up.

 

Can you gents' provide me a link to the 1:1 diecast warbotron figures? I checked sir and came up empty.

 

Sweet! Are you located in Taiwan? Where are you finding these? I will be in Taipei in July and hope to find some of these.

 

Are these the ones sold in singles for $19? Machine Boy, aren't they?

 

AFAIK the warbotron, wukong and machineboy versions all were without diecast. I don't recall a 4th offering in 1:1 size, let alone a diecast version?

 

Me either.

Sweet, thanks for the reply.  

I typed everything except combaticons in the search,  

No onslaught though?

 

You should do what I did when I went to Hong Kong... fly there with carry-on luggage only. Buy a ton of stuff, and then on your last day, buy a cheap KO brand giant suitcase for $20 and pack all your robots in it for the trip home.  

Or when I went to Tokyo, I took the same giant suitcase I bought in Hong Kong, and put my smaller suitcase inside for the trip over, and then came back with two bags.

Aw, man... I want to go back.

But I have to say... it was harder finding this stuff than you'd think.

There was a picture of onslaught in packaging a while back but I haven't been able to find a listing of him at all, his trailer had what looked to be chromed diecast on what turns into the combined form waist though.

 

Wait, was that the pic of it in box being held by the lil' girl? I always thought that was the os version?

 

Ah, I see! Thanks for the confirm on the combining. I thought they might combine by the 大合体 on the box, but as you know, taking the package at its word often doesn't turn out well.
Might have to go back to the open-air market where I spotted the trains (the only place I've seen them) and pick 'em up.

There's lots of weird to be found! How about a set that includes a Woody's horse that turns into an egg; or a Bumblebee GoBots combiner!

If you come here, I'll tell you about ALL the spots in the greater Taipei area!

Some are just from little shops, like a stationary store or convenience store; some are from toy warehouses that are full of stuff like this! And since TFs (and Lego) are popular, there's a lot of fake/copied concepts to be found!

Let me know when you're coming and I can show you around, or at least give you the addresses for these places.

Some more random recents:

Relevant again with the new movie, but these are low quality! Often broken in the package:

This numbers combiner, though, is of very good quality! Tougher than official TF products even.

And this over-sized parts-forming worry-wart Hot Rod:

 

Paul, where's my horse woody?  

 

Nope, not the OS version.
The OS version's box is a lot bigger and doesn't have a window like that plus all the limbs are packed in the blister around onslaught

 

This is the KOMP, and he is awesome, the backpack looks like a jump pack to me, and I love it! the ab crunch really helps the figure!
