    It was a antiques place in Jeffersonville, Bernie's Bargain Barn. They had a G1 Shockwave and Jetfire in the box too, but out of my spending range.

    Just... WOW.

    :bowdown: 

    If I had the resources, I would definitely try to do this also. Are you aiming to have everything MIB? If I were you, I would. You're already more than halfway there, I think.

    Cheers! Yeah I would like to have them mib but it comes down to price really. I managed to get the loose items quite cheap, especially deszaras . I know liokaiser and Dino king are the 2 most expensive items I need, just going to keep my eye out

    I have almost given up hope of ever owning a Dino King. There's someone selling a set for $2,500 if you can bring yourself to bite.

    Ya, I will only possibly remotely consider it if it is my last piece to complete the collection. Maybe.

    I just remembered that Automorpher is selling an MIB Dinoking for way less than that. You might want to check with him if it's still available.

    Wow....just wow...All these within a year? You're on a row!

    I see a few figures which I need and continue to search for.

    That was what I thought too. Never thought I'd get the chance or consider spending that kind of money to buy the giftset....but that was until 2 sets came up online at almost the same time and I decided to pull the trigger on both. 2012 has been an eventful year to say the least.

    I'm hard pressed to think of a more interesting Transformer than a robot that goes inside a giant human which also transforms.

    A friend of mine said he saw transformers as very homo erotic "all these men coming in and out of other men" (referring to soundwave) always made me laugh

    Crossblades really is one of the coolest and most underrated pretenders. I would have gone nuts as a kid if I had one.
