QUOTE(UNDICI @ Apr 9 2008, 08:02 PM) 1st of all .. bigger doesnt mean better articulation.. supreme op gonna have lesser articulation coz of his play gimmick.. similar like UBB.. wel unless u like dat kind of toy.. no problem then I hope its not going to be like UBB. Hopefully its more like going to be leader class like TFTM QUOTE(kamkamparadise @ Apr 9 2008, 08:07 PM) me skip the leader class and twin pack. twin pack got scars. hehe yup. so true. later their head cannot move so not many pose can do. Actually coming to think of it... maybe Voyager class is the one to go. I like the battle scars actually. Has more realism in the paint job

QUOTE(samus_ng @ Apr 9 2008, 09:49 PM) Leader class are slated for August release, though it will most likely arrive earlier. Nope no Leader OP, it's a good thing as the voyager one was already up to scale with the rest. I thought the TFA Supreme OP is the leader class OP?

QUOTE(iman_210 @ Apr 10 2008, 11:36 PM) why not try it to get it for retail + shipping cost a bit since u manage to get all these rare ones? m sure most of us here can support...go here go there if can get it form 1 source all the troubles (duit minyal, tol and time) is discounted. I was thinking abt the same thing. I think it'll be easier for a lot of us if we can get a supplier to cordinate orders in bulk. Saves us the trouble of going out then queue and rush with the others..

QUOTE(mAzTT @ Apr 12 2008, 11:34 PM) Congrats on the haul, be sure to enjoy it as it should be. By the way, just wanna ask, whats the difference between Binaltech and Alternators ? Thanks  A lot of difference... mainly the body shell for Binaltech is die cast metal while alternators are plastic. Binaltech = Takara Alternators = Hasbro So well, you can kinda expect differences in terms of quality and all. Plus, the box also differerent

Hi guys, I need some advice here... you guys know the white colour Alternators Meister (Jazz). For those whom took it out and display or play with it, will the white plastic turn yellow?

Owh my good neosan Great collection you have there bro... really a true collector. 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.

We create it in the garage sales section lo... 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

QUOTE(paanjang16 @ Apr 19 2008, 11:24 PM) So ya, have to go to Garage sales, but the thread will be buried under all the other threads selling TFs  I think there is going to be many people come in with a "Omg nice haul you got there... please PM me your best price for MP-04" for example. I doubt it will be burried for long. Anyway you guys can always bookmark it and come back to check. Or if not, from next v28 onwards we can include the link on the first page of the TF thread so it wont get lost.

I suddenly saw my good ol' Camaro Concept Bumblebee  Last time during the movie 'rave', owning one and showing it to people it was really something big. It seemed almost impossible to get one. People would pay up to RM150 and above just to get it. Now there are tons in the garage sales section and no one wants it. I'm still proud I got one at retail price during the movie craze

@cawan I think we already have this at the first page of this TF thread itself QUOTE(iman_210 @ Apr 6 2008, 07:27 PM) Transformers Price Guide (subject to current availability release and maybe future releases by Hasbro)
Legend Class - RM19.90 Scout Class - RM34.90 Deluxe Class - RM49.90 Voyager Class - RM99.90 Ultra Class - RM129.90/RM139.90 (unsure) Leader Class - RM189.90 Supreme - RM269.90
*Disclaimer - For Takara/Tomy releases of the same scale and theme, prices are subject to *additional RM5-RM30 as this item were not officially released here. Stocks found are from parallel import.
[B]Other TF LineAlternators - RM99.90 Binaltech and Binaltech Asterisk - RM160 - RM250 MasterPiece(Hasbro and Takara) - RM230 - RM290 *excluding MP04 » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Side Note - reasonable pricing for discontinued item is subject to size class mainly from Deluxe up to Supreme Class are from RM10 - RM50 and varies for these classes. - the bigger scale would cost more but subject to your own financial status. - yet so far, this only applies to Takara MISB(Mint In Seal Box), the price may shoot up to additional RM80 on top of the *additional price range stated earlier. - for MasterPiece, generally, Takara(Black Box) release are much more expensive for MISB and even BIB(Back In Box), you need to scout for the best prices as some may intend to sell BIB items as much as the MISB item. Buyers Beware... - at the end of the day, your financial status and satisfactory is what that matters. my advise, for discontinued item, do price scouting 1st according to manufacturer(either Hasbro or Takara) and set your max budget. - same as for the soon to be released Transformers. it is advisable if you can wait for the retail release, you will be able to purchase your Transformers at Retail Price. - if you succumb to early poison, be prepared to buy em at premium prices as early unofficial released are subject to parallel import. - good luck and have fun  I think its cool if the threadstarter continue the list whoever is gonna open at the garage sales section This post has been edited by J-Slade: Apr 20 2008, 12:05 AM

QUOTE(iman_210 @ Apr 21 2008, 10:35 AM) dun think it would appropriate since if we do that what about other collectibles tradin places? if we compare to that of PS thread it is different coz they gave a dedicated main thread for it. But we took the initiative to open the thread at garage sales. If they wanted to open one they could have done it anytime... oh btw i was the one who suggested it but i cant be the TS for that one cos I am not familiar with all the Transformers series. Maybe someone like samus could open it

QUOTE(iman_210 @ Apr 21 2008, 11:06 AM) if it is jumble up altogether...will create conflicting issues to those selling at garage sales...imagine trading places for each genre of collectibles...unless we have a dedicated main thread to that of TRANSMY...then that is understood. or the mods would put up 1 dedicated place for tradingin collectibles...but again that would defeat the purpose of placing a type of sale (i.e collectibles ) in garage sales. (till that day comes, we'll just be pioneers making our own trading area 1st) But then even if they do create a collectables subforum, it makes no difference than the current garage sales except that it will just make a smaller garage sales. The reason why I suggest this thread is because when you search for example "convoy" in garage sales, u will see the list of threads with that keyword. But if you are in a thread and search for "convoy", you can see exactly who posted that post and what he said in his post so you will be directed to the person. Argh screw it I am gonna make that thread now. Hopefully everyone supports me
