Voiceroy's Long Hauls

I originally started this thread in 2006 for "bragging rights" on various hauls.

I've since expanded it to include pics of my TF toy collection as well as vintage TF mdse. and other odds and ends I've found since the 80's.

I'll begin with a haul from July 2006.

I'd just gotten a new digital camera at the time, so I didn't have much experience taking still photos. Thus, some of these are tad fuzzy and some with too much flash At any rate, I hope you enjoy the gallery:



Got all the above in a trade for Cybertron Primus with Unicron head.

Pictured:

G1 Metroplex with parts and box
G1 Trypticon
TRU Reissue Ricochet w/Nightstick MISB
G2 Jolt
BM T-Wrecks
BM Ultra Jetstorm
BW Noctorro
Armada Skywarp w/Thunderclash and Box
Energon Prime with Op modules 1 – 4 (no trailer)
Energon Omega Sentinel
Robot Masters Mirage
RM Starscream

There's also a gray mini-con at the bottom of the pic (foreground) I haven't been able to ID yet. Turns into a little racecar. Any help? I can follow-up with a close-up pic unless someone's already guessed it.

Metroplex's box is a little ragged and the toy has some plastic rot, but I'm glad to finally own one, especially since I got this entire haul for the equivalent of $50:



I loves me some dinosaur TFs:


Omega Sentinel and Trypticon play a little game of "Noctorro Tug-O-War":


These Robot Masters are my newest favorite additions to my collection. They're a little cheap and flimsy, but so on-model with the G1 series that I can't help but like them:




I wish Hasbro would do more vintage/classic sports car TFs, like Cybertron Downshift and this G2 Jolt:



Jetstorm really annoyed me on Beast Machines, but I really like the toy. Here's my first attempt to transform it without instructions. And honestly, the "third leg" was unintentional:


This one, however, was intentional -- note the mini-con pointing out the obvious:


Third attempt, I just gave up and let T-Wrecks vent my frustration for me:


Coming up next, pics of my Dragon*Con 2006 haul, and eventually photos of my single greatest haul ever from November 2005.

Zapmaster, Armada Thundercracker's minicon.

Thanks. Makes sense because my friend had promised Armada Thundercracker in the deal too and then forgot to put it in the box.

So, whats the grand total, if you dont mind me asking?

King Manta- Want another spoiler? Jesus dies at the end.

I figured someone would ask, but I guess saying it twice in advance just wasn't obvious enough.

Sarcasm aside, were you thinking I might have not made a wise trade? Even loose, I'd say this haul is worth at least $150 and that's a low estimate. It'll take a MISB Primus 5 years plus before it even comes close to matching that value, even with a Unicron head.

I hate you, so you did good!

Yeah you definitely got the better end of that deal. The Metroplex alone is worth at least the $50, probably a good bit more.

Wow, nice haul. I would have swapped just for trypticon then went and bought another primus with unicron head as there's still plenty of those around here, I didn't think that primus was that rare.

But yea, that is a freaking awesome trade in your favor.

It makes some sense that you'd get a good deal on a Primus with Uni-Head back in July, but dayumn. If I'd known I could get a ton of crap AND Metroplex and Trypticon for one, I'd have bought the four Primus figures I saw at K-Mart back then. Good haul, it was worth the wait to show it off.

That's an awesome haul for only $50.00. I still need Omega Sentinel myself.
