How can you not want a leader sized OP? We haven't had a decent one since Cybertron in a tv show toyline

 

Cheers, shame I mis-transform the damn thing differently every photo shoot  

All the best

Haha amazing pics. I was just about to point out the legs!

 

I really want TAV21 Optimus. I love the RId design, it is an awesome looking Star Convoy  

Was hoping Kapow or Masterforce would get it in

 

Those pics make me want Galaxy Prime a whole lot more now!
Looks like it's harder to get hold of than the Convoy one. Doesn't seem to be many of them showing up on eBay.

I'm still amazed with the quality of the Hybrid Convoy. Kind of blows me away that they managed to pack so much into such a solid little figure.

Always loved Gold bug. The bit where Wreck-gar rebuilds Bumblebee in the comic always stuck with me.



Picked up one of the Artfeather figures a few months back and got the Beelzeboss Goldbug comic head for it. Took the car panels off the arms and with the Gold head it looks pretty good.
Pretty happy with it as Goldbug  

Not really bothered with the Chip Chase figure that comes with it though. Anyone want it for the cost of postage?

Great pics  
I want that Magnus now, looks ace beside Prime!

Wasn't aware of the Yangier Head and just had a look on tfwiki. I though the black version was just a straight up repaint, not the G2 set full of extras that it actually is. May have to see about it being the first Black Prime repaint i own.

 

I need some chips!   Sent you a pm  

 

I need to order the antennae, got the Menasor ones last weekend along with the hip replacements.
Also thinking of the shoulder lock and the leg covers.

I am a Prime member and stuff hasn't come overnight from the US.
The boxes just have the Prime tape on them but still take about a week.

I handled a Cupola last week, and while he is impressive he's just to tall for me. If he was between MP Prime and the MP cars I would have grabbed one.

Was also speaking to the guy from Maketoys at TFCon. He's super friendly and easy to talk to. Even when some asshat was talking to him and then said "what's on your phone, show me your phone".
Their MP Hound is good and sturdy as well. Apparently there will be two coloured versions, with the toy coloured (darker green) possibly a convention exclusive. I'm tempted to get that and the rumoured MP Hound coming.
Their Hardhead is dam impressive as well.

ONe of my favourite Primes, shrunk down and made more awesome!

I'm still on the fence about it. There's something about it that looks off.

And now, obligatory TFCon haul pics:

 

Talking about Goldbug there's something nice about a shiny gold Takara repaint.




It's a shame that MP Bee doesn't have a normal ball joint as I would have tried a head swap.

 

I've been after one for a long, long time. I've not seen one on ebay for ages. I think theres one on there now at around £80 from the US, its good but not sure about £80 good.

I'm in total agreement with you mate, I too want that Magnus as well!!
The enabler becomes the enabled I guess  

Cracking set of pics mate, pure gold (sorry I had too   )
The WFC Bumblebee mold I absolutely love, one of my favourite versions of Bee ever. I picked up some weird crossover version at AA last year, its the Cliffjumper version but with a GI Joe head?!

@Boardwise What a magnificent haul dude!!
Can't believe some dude wanted to look through the Maketoys chap's phone, well I can believe it, but what a bloody cheek!!

 

First thing I do when I get mine is retake this pic



Course it'll be Lio Convoy getting kicked over the edge that time  

THS 01 is great, funnily enough it has more articulation than the leader class figure, it biggest flaw is its current aftermarket prices  

So keep them great pics a coming! Cause at its current prices I'm never gonna own one!


Also...



NITEWOTCH!!!

I'm sure my brother will have way more when he gets back from whatever exotic locale he was deployed to

 

  that first pic is genius!!
I look forward to the updated version too dude!!

Not liking the spider pic so much though I must admit  

Quick, some one throw up a picture of a kitten or something!!

Edit: there we go, balance has once more been restored to the universe!

 

Don't worry Stevil, got that spider for you!

 

Hahahahahahaha, know something funny...



There is actually an official gundam kitty, Nyaia Gundam, and there is a resin conversion kit of it that I've been waffling on for quite some time  

 

Gundam kitteh! Awww!

Also, this is the....

 

Gundam Kitty? Consider my curiousity piqued...

Great haul Al, but Micromaster Air Strike team? I would have thought you'd have grabbed a set years ago!

 

My Cupholder and Tesla arrived together in the same package. That was a good day.

Great pics! I hadn't even noticed the legs, I promise.  

Nice! My G2 'Bee is on the way from AE, along with a Black Rodimus. Unlike a lot of folks, I love MP-9 and have had my eye on the 9B version for a while. Can't wait!

 

So is anyone here as annoyed about the size of mmc carnifex as the usual percentage of neckbeards on these boards? The potential for a computer stuffed with after tax earnings when pre-orders go live is high in my household. Bought.

 

Nope, I'm fine with what they have done and will be buying-in whenever they get around to actually making the huge-psycho. I'm not preordering though as their plate is so full right now you know the Big, Complex Multi-Part Dude will get delay after delay after delay - like the Ferals. Sigh.

But that thread is pretty much the signifier for what's wrong with so much of this board: you can't make people happy with pretty much anything, however amazing, mind blowing and downright cool that thing is. More sighs.

See also the arseholes stalking the DX9 threads to tell everyone they are too expensive and don't buy them. Almost as if they were being paid to do so. But that would be CRAZY right? Out of sighs.

It's raining and I need a holiday. Somewhere out of Net access range.

 

So good! One of my top 5 bots of all time, without a doubt.

The only scary part of the THS Galaxy Convoy is sliding the head up and down during transformation. Aside from that, they are really robust.

Yeah, the original Galaxy is a lot harder to get a more expensive to puck up in good condition. Back to that THS02 reissue and THS01 not getting one thing, I am afraid.

Yeah, no.... Its wonderful, but 80 quid is really pushing it. 50-60 and I would probably grab one and be happy.

 

I HAD both THS figures, the original versions, but sold them on. Simply because I've got huge hands and they felt far too small for me.
