    I came down and paired up a bunch of their weapons with the figures that they bought in a lot. I'm the closet thing to a TF expert that they know so they always give me good deals. The funny thing is I just sold a mib Tracks that was only missing those exact weapons that I bought to day.

    Got this guy yesterday, and I have to say I'm pretty impressed at how well he fits in an 86 movie display.

    And I got bored the other day and transformed my Micromaster collection to alt mode, in case anyone wants to see:

    I have that Alicon in my stack at TFSource. Yep it's a nice figure that blends in well.

    Ditto for me.
    I've never bought any third-party items (mainly because of the price) but I the Allicon is one I would buy. Fits in very well, and looks great next to Gnaw.

    The plastic of the Allicon feels a bit cheap, but the design, transformation and size are VERY well done and have a very G1 feel to it. Really does fit in well.

    Especially with the other Quintessons on display :D

    G1 Overlord!

    I got very lucky in an E-bay auction this week.

    I put in the winning bid in an auction for Gobots Jigsaw (very good condition), G1 Groove (good condition, but no gun), New Super Abega Jet Robo (wheels and small aircraft missing), the Ulysses 31 'tank' (won't lock when in compact mode, but still a fun toy) and G1 Overlord.

    I paid 39 euros/53 dollars in all, which I think is a very good price. Overlord is not complete, but in fairly good condition. Only when he arrived did I realise how big he was!

    Very nice, are you going to try to complete Overlord? I found most of his parts aren't that hard to find, and if you're patient, you can get them for decent prices.

    Nice collection. I know i've perused your collection thread a few times :)

    Thanks! Yes, I aim to eventually complete him. Parts appear to cost between 25 and 35 euros, but I reckon I might win a few bits and pieces at auction. I'm not in a hurry - I came across Overlord while looking for a few gobots. :)

    KMart exclusives / G1 Legends
    If you're talking about G1, those would be the inner robots for Pretenders Jazz, Bumblebee, Grimlock and Starscream, packaged WITHOUT the shells.
