    Cheers guys, he'd been on the top of my list for a good number of years and to finally have him... It's such an awesome feeling, but an odd one at the same time as now I have to find a new BW Grail. :wink: :) 
    (Not a Japanese Botcon figure though, they're well beyond my price range :tongue: )

    Man!
    You've got some fine pieces there :cool: , whilst also having some not all too unreasonable sought after grails; that Japanese Double Punch though is gong to be pretty tough I reckon, have you seen many listed?
    (I remember seeing 1, I believe within the last 6-8 months! :eek: )

    Hmm... I dunno dude, I reckon there are Beast Wars characters who'd be far better deserving/suited to a Masterpiece figure. :wink: 
    IMO, I'd love to see the original Basic Optimus Primal (Bat) & Megatron (Crocodile) figures given the MP treatment. :cool: :D ream:

    Hear me out:
    I think they'd do an excellent job for commemorating the series as both Alt modes are quite distinctive and offer some unique repaint opportunities:
    • Megalligator
    • Convobat
    • Onyx Primal (Obligatory Black Japanese Repaint :tongue: )
    Those 2 also are versions who haven't seen a lot of focus in recent times but more to the point; it would give the engineers a chance to take the 2 figures far and beyond their original 'Quick-Change' gimmick :D , whilst also sticking with HasTak's preference/penchant of issuing character's already used in the MP line and also following with their 'Same Top 4 Characters' philosophy (At least 1/2 of which anyway). :lol 

    I'm very curious to hear what others might like to see also, if there is a majority we could indeed start a motion/petition to get BW something that it rightfully deserves. :thumb 
    (You can't say seeing Gee-Wunners squirm over such a suggestion wouldn't be entertaining either :tongue: )

    Hmm...
    Should it dude?; apart from the forward barrels of his guns not being mounted on either his hips or the guns, I can't see anything specifically wrong with it? :eek:

    Not an expert, but is that his gun or something else entirely?

    Could be the lighting, but he's also...yellower?

    Is Primal Prime really that rare? I mean, I was able to pick one up for only 40-50 bucks a few years back and he was only missing his gun.

    My Primal Prime is from my very early teens and he as well is missing his gun.

    I read that they made only 10,000 figures and MISB he is worth a cool $200.00 US.

    By the way, does anyone have a Primal Prime gun for sale?

    Yeah I think it's the lighting. Doesn't seem "weird" to me.

    Looks fine to me mate, damn fine! You need to track down his gun barrels though.

    I used to have Silverbolt and the wasp/fish guy toys when I was younger. They are sadly lost to me now.

    I got my Ravage grail about 2 years ago, MISB. Im not much of a MISB collector but he was so special to me I haven't been able to bring myself to open him. He is proudly displayed in package next to my Masterpieces.

    Great pics are great, and I think my TM Tarantulas will be going into alt mode soon. *snicker*


    Also to Poplockgrimlock, just take it as sign that you need to get em again, and I'm sure the Junkion exchange will be able to make it happen for ya. :

    The concept is Dr. Venture Sr. is busy posing for pictures with these 'robots' that he probably thinks he created whilst poor Rusty gets beaten...

    Oh, and Nudar shows up.... can't go wrong there!
