    Another good one from maybe 5 years ago:

    G1 Divebomb complete
    G1 Topspin MIB
    G1 Eject & Ramhorn MOC
    G1 Long Haul complete
    G1 Scourge complete, no stickers
    G1 Kup complete, stickers unapplied
    G1 Wreck Gar complete
    G1 Trailbreaker complete
    G1 Powerglide (arm pin had come out, which I fixed)
    G1 Kickback complete
    G1 Bombshell complete
    G1 Swindle MOC
    G1 Blitzwing complete
    G1 Ratchet complete, red cross version

    Got all of the above for free from a friend for operating his video camera from a balcony during his wedding. :)  Ratchet, the Insecticons, and Trailbreaker were pretty well played. On the other hand, Kup is dead mint, and most of the other figures are in very good to awesome shape.

    I once got a MIB Big Convoy Vs. Magmatron, loose BW Transmetal Primal, loose BW Megatron, loose Razorclaw and loose BWII God Neptune for about $50 shipped from Japan.
    Hell of a deal, and by FAR the best I ever had.

    Currently in the UK, MP SW is £20, an absolute steal considering my TakTom one cost about £55.

    90% complete Fort Max for £50.

    TRU Skids MISB for £8.50 at AA this year. Still got a bag of comics, books and other stuff? free from various stalls at AA to look through.

    Got a set of Target Sunstorm/Shockers. Shipping wiped some of their bargainous nature out, but they were still cheaper than one would of been over here, if they'd ever shown up here that is.

    I've had a lot of free stuff this year:

    Henkei Starscream - MOSC
    WST Hot Rod re-issue (in little red box) - MISB
    25th Prime - MISB
    TFA Activators Starscream - MOSC
    TFA Activators Ratchet - MOSC
    Strip of bullets from TFC 6 Megs - still on sprue
    Decepticon symbol stickersheet from TFC 6 Megs
    Myclone Prime in truck mode - MISP
    TFA Voyager Megs - loose, complete
    A bag of G1 Seeker bits for a custom
    GNU YF-21 Battroid - MISB

    Thank you once again to those of you involved, you know who are :)
