Walauehh V18 already!!

took out all my Alts and KOs Alts to have a photos session. Yet to transform Swindle, Silverstreak and Shockblast (still virgin? haha ).

anyway, here's my contribution for this morning:-

Alts, assemble!!


Roll OUT!!!


Comparison of the subarus. The blue one is a Tamiya model




comparison of the Vipers. The red is a die-cast model



Group shot. Can you spot the non-transformer?

China coz it is where these TFs are "born". HK and Taiwan are near China, somemore want to export to the States and the world need to pass through HK port. So some of the TFA toys might have terjatuh from the kontena before being loaded onto the container ships

Now for Part 4 of the Dead end comparisons.

Previous parts were in V17, but here's the link to them

Part 1
Part 2
Part 3

So for Part 4, I'll show the differences in the manual provided by Hasbro and the KO.

For hasbro, being typical of them, gave us a pretty simplified instructions


But for the KO, the instructions are more elaborate with better illustrations although some of the transformation is out of sequence or is not necessary.
The are 2 parts for the KO, Car to robot, robot to car unlike hasbro which says "reverse order to go back to car mode".



A closer look of the car to robot instructions for the KO



Robot to car



I would say that the Ko instructions are alot easier to understand than Hasbro's one. Hasbro's instructions tend to have transformations that need some guesswork as to which part should you twist, turn or even disengage b4 you start the transformation. A simple comparison can be seen during the initial transformation of car to robot mode. In hasbro's version, you straight away pull out the front part of the car and move the windscreen to form the legs. In the KO, it showed that you need to disengage the door frame from the front part of the car BEFORE pulling out the legs. Chances of breaking the ori dead end seems likely when reading Hasbro's instructions.

Then when transforming back to car mode, the KO instructions tell how to fold back the hands and arrange them to fit in the boot. I actually had to refer to the KO instructions when transforming back to car mode coz the hasbro's one didn't tell me exactly how the hands are suppose to be folded in the boot.

That ends my comparison between Ko dead end and Ori Dead end alt. I dunhave the BT dead end, but I assume that most of the similarities are there. As for price, the KO costs only RM 50 while the ori costs RM 136.25 (GORENG!!!! ARRGHH KENA SCREWED!! ). I bought the Ko from one of those small toy shops found throughout BTS.

I think TFA toys is like going to be like TF movie toys. B4 movie, the calm before the storm, n one interested

After the movie, walau like war already

So if want to get it b4 TV3 shows it or else it would be very hard to get. Oh wait, TFA toys are coming late after the cartoon is shown

I got an idea, you know the suggestion box at TRU? or Jusco?, why not we write there saying that we have trouble buying TFs. I think now can "persuade" them to order in bigger quantities.

Pictures of Offroad Ironhide in robot mode

Back


In action


Longarm: **** Looks at the HUGE missile launcher which Ironhide has**** Yo, can look at your weapon for a while?


Longarm: THAT IS ONE BIIIGGG Missile launcher!!
Ironhide: Have you not seen a bigger weapon that this?
Longarm: No, but I am surely jealous
Ironhide: Well, it is VERY VERY Good for blowing stuff up,

The Legends OP arms have small holes where can hold the gun.

Offroad ironhide




Besides Allsparks, my current Alt collection, with some KOs

Walauehh.. last week Sunday only Isetan got some stock, the rest habis sampai bayang pun tak nampak

So far I have not seen ANY offroad ironhides besides the one I have Kena scalp?

Ironhide shows his reaction when he sees a scalper


Ironhide carrying his little buddy


3 Subarus are better than 1!

Guys, if this is the guy who sells them at Amcorp flea market, can take photo of him at Amcorp to compare? nothing better than 2 photos of the same guy at 2 different locations.

What time did you took the photos of these guys? 10.00am sharp?

Scalpers aside, here are some more cheerful photos

Movie figures gather for a group shot


Meanwhile, Silverstreak wants to rob Shockwave of his energon
Silverstreak: This is a stick-up!!! Show me the energons!!!!!
Shockwave: But but.... I langsung tak ada!! Go kill some scalpers instead!!!
Silverstreak: Deptercons can't be trusted!! MANA ITU ENERGON??
Shockwave: Ishh.. this guy NBTD. Time for...


Shockwave: ULTRA KICK!!!! NEXT TIME STUDY CIRCUIT-SU!!!!
Silverstreak:

would you believe last time the 1st day of Raya I did the same, with info from some Lyner. Only thing different was that it was the 1st day of Raya and Jusco only opened at 1pm!!!!

Luckily no scalpers that day, so managed to get my leader brawl and good timing too, I took the second last one, a minute later a kid got the last one.

err kamkam, I bought my leader brawl on the 1st day of Raya So its the ori jungle camo leader brawl.

TWorkers subang i highly doubt got coz that last week I collect my Ironhide only left 1st Strike OP. If got also James will only allow you to buy in sets

Rm 300 for OP , Evac and Offroad Ironhide. I pre-ordered, so luckily no need to buy in sets, but goreng price!!! Best price in town (Subang Jaya)= Subang Jaya price= $$$$.

If cliffjumper, when it 1st came out must buy cliffjumper+landmine+camshaft

TWorkers was selling the 2 items in the following prices and sets
Offroad ironhide= I pre-ordered it for RM 128.00 (hmmm, got '8' in the price tag, sure fatt tatt). If buy with Evac and OP is RM 300, no even a 30 sen discount. I dun care much since it is the last movie autobot I need. Tired of looking for it all over the place.
First encounter barricade= my friend also looking high and low for barricade, so have to to buy the 1st encouter. BUT, have to buy with Last Stand for RM 150. That's right, MUST buy in set. So spend RM 150 to get barricade, but then he dun have Longarm, but have to buy in sets

other items bought from TWorkers previously:-
Recon Barricade and Longarm= must buy in set for RM 100
BB08 and Payload= must buy in set for RM 120. That time I went also got a BB08 with Dreadwing set for around the same price.

So TWorkers is not really cheap. Best price in town (which is Subang Jaya) = Subang Jaya price = $$$$ expensive.

I dun really have unlimited budget, but sometimes I feel dun have better choice to buy

Best way to deal with scalpers ULTRA KICK!


Feeling lucky punk?

How come my nick come out wan

I pre-ordered my MP Hasbro SS for RM 200 from them. I dunno why, but I got a feeling I'm going to get screwed, AGAIN

Who says buying TFs is meant for 5+? At the rate of scalping, low availability and goreng prices, this is more of an adult collectible

SCALPER SPOTTED!!!

Autobots, roll out and get him!!!!!

BB08 not taken? Odd

Has bb08 reached a point where EVERYONE has it and not a scalper's target anymore?

Or demand for the twin pack is not that great?

would be great if some kid manage to get his BB08 at RRP though (although with prime, but its still RRP).

Question, how do you on/off the LED? I assuming there is some sort of switch located somewhere to turn it off when not in use. good mod though *** looks at my ALT shockwave****

Hmm, not many here are a fan of desert attack brawl nor offroad ironhide I think once you have the ori mould the repaint is nothing compared to the ori. one think I dun like bout the offroad ironhide is the light blue "allspark" paint on certain areas to make it "glow". Some wise Hasbro dude thought it was a good idea to paint Ironhide's eyes the light blue, thinking it will make it glow. Instead, it block the light from passing through the head and the eyes can't lit up if there is a light source behind. Brilliant.

Got MAJOR REstock!! Berlambak gila Landmine and Cliffjumper!!




But in the States

sauce: tformers.com

Why they get so many one? Unlike our Jusco so little stock.

Most probably " HOLY PRIMUS!!!! I GOT CAUGHT!!! Better go into hibernation!!!!"

After waiting for the heat to die down then he'll be back like the terminator!

Somebody spread the picture to Transmy, those guys can use a little help hunting.

nolah.. just to let those guys know a fellow scalper that's all
