I have plans to birng in smokescreen and the honda S2000.

Maybe next month or so.

What other Alternators are rare and expensive here. I could source for a cheaper one.
*
Well, so far the other alternators I have not seen anywhere around are:-
Alt Grimmy (Grey Mustang, not sports version)
Alt Tracks (Blue/Yellow Corvette)
Alt Battle Ravage (Black Corvette with Jaguar head)
Alt Camshaft (Grey Honda Acura RSX/Integra)
Alt Prowl (Nippon colored Honda Police Acura RSX/Integra)
Alt Rodimus (Red Hot Ford GT)
Alt Windcharger (Red Honda S2000)
Alt Jazz (White RX8)

wow, that's one long list icon_question.gif

The yellow S2000 I recall the person who sold me my DVD Prime has a few.

Wah... got so many lobang to bring in Alt. rclxub.gif

For the S2000, i am planning to get the BT-21 Arcee S2000, so I would prefer to get cars like the corvettes, Honda Acura RSX first.

Same goes for the Jazz, already PO the the BT-20 Jazz already.

Any cheap lobang for BT? If the BT price almost the same as the Alt price (yes I am dreaming) prefer the BT version.

Collected the 1st of 3 Alts from William today rclxms.gif

As you can see, the box is better than the "fish bowl" type of box usually seen with the other Alts such as Silverstreak, Shockblast etc. More details and the best part is, you can easily put it back into the box for display after you have done playing with him thumbup.gif

The box contents. Not much compared to Blt, just the box, car and Hasbro type instructions.

But here is the biggest surprise of the box. There are images of the alt printed on the car holding compartment of the box. So when you put the car back into the box, It is as if the wall is reflective!!!

Yes, I know that the transformation is killer since I have the KO alt grimmy. Have not transformed my WJ though, but for my Ko grimmy there is a point where you need to attached the torso to the chest, that part need to push down real hard until I fear it can break sweat.gif Hope the real thing is more durable.

Btw, here are some transformation videos of wheeljack. Quite long since it is one complex bot to transform!!

WJ: Ooii Grimmy, I'm the ori one here, so I deserve to stand there!! icon_idea.gif
Grimlock: Me Grimlock KING!! Me Grimlock no give way to you!! vmad.gif
user posted image

Quite easy to transform compared to the KO Grimlock. Well of course its easy for me since I know the transformation sequence (abit) and all the parts fit together nicely. See the KO's shoulders? The reason it is not attached to the torso is becoz I cannot connect the top part with the lower part when I attached the shoulders to the top part. For the ori the parts are ... lets say, suitably sized to connect with each other.

Btw, I found out my KO Grimmy is actually using WJ's mold since Grimmy's spoiler and rims is similar to that of WJ's. The ori Grimmy uses a much smaller spoiler and different rims.

I think the Taktom seeker is Skywarp. Afterall, there is a Masterpiece Skywarp right? Thundercracker is not as well known as skywarp.

Oh, some candid picture of Prime giving Hotrod a little talk on what to do and what NOT to do when facing megatron. In other words, Prime is telling Hot Rod not to be stupid.

I noticed when browsed thru some of the ALT galleries, most of them like wearing a skirt when viewing them from behind biggrin.gif

for example, Dead End Dodge Viper, Tracks, Sunstreaker etc etc
It's kinda funny BUT the vehicle mode is top notch, no doubt about that thumbup.gif
my conclusion, IMHO, keep it MISB wink.gif
*
I guess WheelJack and Grimmy have long skirts then brows.gif

For me definitely must transform wan, cannot tahan to keep it MISB. What's the point of buying a TF when you dun Transform? Rather buy a 1:24 die-cast model car then. Of course, a Binaltech is a mixture of the 2 tongue.gif

That's why I like Alt/Blt line, a mixture of 1:24 model cars and a TF. Its fantastic to see model car features like openable doors, trunk, bonnet and detailed interior on something like a transformer that can turn into a robot that can be fixed to various poses.

Sure some robot mode is a bit odd, but I do agree that the alt mode is the main attraction. Nothing beats a Jaguar that transforms into a Jaguar. So detailed until no one will know it is a transformer until you transform it!!

Most of my Alt/Blt are BIB.

some of my other alts. Taken long b4 I got my WJ though.

Guys I got a suggestion. Since sometimes we have people here who want to sell their TF and its not allowed here. Why not one of us make a

[WTS/WTT] Transformers Trading Place

thread. Where everyone who wanna sell/trade their TF can post in the thread and we can all keep it posted too. Plus the TS can update the thread 1st post with "want to sell" & "looking for" column and the name of the forumer. Kinda like a central trading place for everyone.
*
I fully support such a thread icon_idea.gif Good for parallel importers too since they can advertise (poison) their stuff there.

I dunno if got special privilege to open here in the Hobbies section but I am sure its definitely possible in garage sales. I am quite excited looking forward to seeing this thread becoming reality. Sometimes see people's haul get so poisoned but cannot touch. At least if we have a central trading area if people post pictures, means its up for sale  drool.gif

Well in the Console couch section there is a special pinned thread for trades. Of course the mods there allow itlah, like in their rules and regulation.
QUOTE
With that out of the way, Console Couch and it's subforums also handles trade. Have a game you want but can't find it? How about that game that's been sitting on your shelf for ages, why not sell it? These threads are created specially for the gamers here to trade their stuff! Best part, it's all original!

sauce: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/487749

Our Hobbies section rules state no trades at all shocking.gif

3. Take all sales to Garage Sales, not here.

sauce: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/309016

So ya, have to go to Garage sales, but the thread will be buried under all the other threads selling TFs doh.gif

No official re-issues of this particular toy, in fact of any other MP's.
From what i know of / heard, its like this

People in hong kong buy massive amounts of these units, and keep it stocked up. After a certain period only will they release it for sale back to the public with a 'gorenged' amount. Basically they toy with supply and demand, which inevitably affects price.

I have read about ppl goreng and scalping, but this is the first time I heard about ppl HOARDING TF toys rclxub.gif Like keeping all the cooking oil until got this big shortage then sell.

Interesting post indeed.

But I believe there is a limit to how much you can hoard right? like the movie fad is dying they better sell it quick or all the stocks will gather dusts. Unless they got "insider" info that Mp-04 not going to be reproduce?. Then they can't possibly hoard every TF toy there is. Even BB08 price in GT drop already.

Todays Mega Haul: Got the remaining 2 of 3 Alt from William. thumbup.gif

Alt Civic Type "R" and Dodge Truck

Back of the box. The back got some sticker in ... chinese? japanese? I dunno. Also noticed just how huge the OP box is compared to the small Civic.

The underside. Seems like both show the alt differently.

Used a scissors to cut the box and remove the alts. Noticed how the box is still intact. Fish-tank box is a pain to open!!! vmad.gif

As you can see, OP is WAAYYY Bigger than our puny Rumble here. Even though it is made of plastic, it is quite heavy compared to the other alts. Can't imagine BT-17 would weigh shocking.gif

Since safety is a priority, Op uses Brembo brakes!! thumbup.gif

Rumble looks darn tempting leh... And why is everyone referring his alt mode as Honda Civic Type R? It's not lah, it's Honda Civic SI la... doh.gif
*
Well, i called it Type "R" coz R doesn't stand for Racing, it stands for Rumble icon_idea.gif

Just using the type "R" name just all. On second thought maybe that's why Civic became rumble coz can be type R, transformer version!!

Also there is no Type-R on the Honda USA website, unllike we all can get JDM Type-R thumbup.gif

QUOTE(kamkamparadise @ Apr 23 2008, 11:52 AM)
nice comparison bro. last time me nearly buy alt rumble but cancel last minute coz got turned off by the robot mode. dunno why but just seem wrong to me. why does they called it alt rumble? should it be alt frenzy coz frenzy colour was red in G1 series.
*
to me the robot mode is quite accurate (barring the color of course) to the cartoon in the sense it has this HUGE pile-drivers. Rumble and Frenzy are only famous for pile-driving the ground or shattering windows like in the 86 movie.

For the car mode it is pretty accurate to the real car with the spaceship type dash, lights, rims and more. I feel the car mode is enough to persuade me to him. Cheaper to own this Civic than owning the real civic tongue.gif

I do like what duke_hunt is doing, except that I do not cut the front part where the front part of the car is. This is so that when on display the front part of the car does not "sink" into the box.
