*Disclaimer
*When replying to a post that contain pics, please use the spoiler function to reduce page stretching.
*We here want this thread to be user friendly and friendly to your mouse scroll as well.

Mods Reminder :

I'll keep it simple.

This thread is for posting all things related to TF, be it reviews, sighting reports, new releases, kit bashes, news and announcements, etc.

Just ONE condition: AS LONG AS IT IS RELATED TO TRANSFORMERS.

By posting things like "good morning", etc, it has NOTHING TO DO WITH TF and is therefore NOT ALLOWED.

Chatting should be kept to a MINIMUM. Even then, it should be TF related, not something about who the latest smart hooker is, or what you ate for lunch...get the point?

If you need to discuss something specific e.g. a TF gathering, feel free to open up a new thread to discuss it. After it has served its purpose, that particular thread will be closed.

Repeated image spams (even though it's a picture of a TF) is also not allowed! It's damn bloody annoying to see the same pictures again and again and again and again and again and again. If you want to post some pictures, be creative...take some new shots! Dont rehash the same old stuff.

See, pretty simple, isnt it.[/font]

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 Line
Alternators - RM99.90
Binaltech and Binaltech Asterisk - RM160 - RM250
MasterPiece(Hasbro and Takara) - RM230 - RM290
*excluding MP04

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

Rolling out!

V28!~~



Hentai Mirage!!

Wah Im already starting to miss home...... Wonder if i will be able to spot any early TFA or Universe figures here in UK

This post has been edited by wkyoong: Apr 27 2008, 04:15 PM

samus, TFA voy OP got 2 types right, earth and cybertron is it?
i find the cybertron OP proportions are better than the earth mode, by judging on the deluxe we managed to play with last night..
its sturdy as well..

there are still many more tftms left when i was there, and the Ultra class are mislabeled as 199.90...... haih....

oh, forgot to mention as well...
deluxe tfa size are almost the same with voy classics height...
sorry, didnt take pics tfa op standing side by side with magnus last night...

Henkei Mirage Still missing that.


Nope Voyager OP only 1 version which is Earth mode, deluxe version there's Cybertron version (the one you played with yesterday) and Earth mode (released with megatron in "the Battle begins 2 pack". I won't comment on Voy. Earth mode prime until I get hold of one.

ic...
so, what about tfa megs?
voy in cybertron mode and leader in earth mode?

i guess there's no choice but to get voy OP in earth mode while get the deluxe in cyber mode...

hope there is voyager in cyber mode...becuase its simply awesome in both robot and vehicle form.

any1 went scouting at TRUs subang or Aunty Lenny? any new stocks?

nicey


Well for Megs there's a deluxe variant for Cybertron mode, which again is released together with deluxe earth mode Prime. Thats a good choice, Voy. OP looks fantastic and from reviews I'm guessing it'll be better than Deluxe Cyb. mode Prime.

This post has been edited by sunnyboy: Apr 27 2008, 04:31 PM

TRU Parkson Alamanda got lotsa restock of TFTM
Leader NWOP, Deep Desert Brawl, Premium Meg & SB Desert Attack
plus Ultra class Wingblade & Jetstorm

Cool, Wing Saber RM138, power
Did Aunty mention when Voy. OP will arrive?


Lucky draw.

I forgot to ask her about that BUT will try to book from her this time
One more thing, anyone interested in DVD OP diamond box, Aunty Lenny got 1 for sale
Transcanning BB also available at her shop
saw 2 yesterday

Oh I see, next time can tumpang beli?
DVD OP diamond box, are you referring to 20th anniversary Prime? That version not related to DVD OP.

Tumpang Beli?
The thing is Aunty Lenny allow 1 person for 1 same toy
Cannot buy another 1 extra.
BUT, i can consider to sell it to u if can get Voy OP
i said i can consider

Her 20th prime is for sale? The last time i asked she said it wasnt for sale. That was err.. almost half a year ago though

Oh and madstone, do you know the price of the TS BB at aunty lenny's?

Haha it's ok bro, just that still looking for Voy. OP lubang.
Talk about berlambak stocks, see this you will CRY USD 5 for one.

That's it, next year I'm heading to Botcon, who wanna sponsor my ticket?

This post has been edited by samus_ng: Apr 27 2008, 05:13 PM

Any unboxed shots of Blackarachnia? I'd like to see it

hahah gpt but not individual

Wow very nice bro , is it a good figure like Cybertron mode Prime is?

Really aaaa?
I thought it for sale

Sorry bro
forgot to ask how much is it for TS BB
i think around RM120/130
try ask mr-2, i thought he also bought from Aunty Lenny

yeah is a good figure... as usual with the ball joints tend to fall of in certain parts but very accurate figure overall

I guess it's better to get Leader Meg to paired with the rest of tfa characters toys. Coz in the cartoon, <eg is a hell lot bigger compared to others especially SS.

---

Added on April 27, 2008, 6:47 pmCan't wait to get my hands on the toy, head sculpt is great too.


Voyager Megs is Cybertron mode leh, no leader class for Cybertron mode. Me I'll get both since they're both different and Cybertron Megs does play a pretty big role in the TFA storyline.

This post has been edited by samus_ng: Apr 27 2008, 06:48 PM

aiyo. nice haul there. except for spider bot. itsy bitsy spider hanging on the wall.

yup. me too. after watching that video u posted in the last thread, me decided to get leader Meg and Bulkhead. Just saw pic of TFA UM and sentinel prime. heck, TFA really did return to ancient war age. using only hand to hand weapons. Almost like a Gladiator with those axe, hammer, cokmar, swords, nunchakus, and shurikens. Sentinel Prime's sword really does look like a King Arthur's knight's sword. so far only Lugnutz, Blitzwing and SS are in the modern war age. using fire power.

Yea man. The err.... rarer figures are part of her own collection.
Haiz. Wonder if transcanning BB will still be available when i get back in Msia.... not to mention the premium movie voyagers

This post has been edited by wkyoong: Apr 27 2008, 07:07 PM

First look, Premium Jazz

Metallic as ever, another must buy

owh. it should be available. i hope. but since i already molest TFA deluxe OP yesterday, i gotta say that the articulation are good. hand joints are damn tight but keg joint must repair a bit. if not it will face the same problem as BB08.

@fatrice
ya leader meg looks proportionate with other TFA
so is leader bulkhead... its slightly bigger then voy OP but smaller then Meg

@samus
the head sculpt for spidergal really detail.... really amaze by TFA details

wee guys
i clearing of my TF sales~~~

http://search.ebay.com.my/_W0QQsassZcooleren


shud i open a thread in garage sale n put this link?
coz so far i just wanna sell it thru ebay bidding

MOD can give any suggestions?
if i put garage sale with this ebay link will get deleted?

mr-2 bought it at RM128..
best prices in town...

its a must repair issue...
at 1st, the joint darn stiff, once moved, it'll be loose if its being played too often...

No new stocks in TRU Subang... The same stocks from this past week are mostly still there... There are no more Premium OP and Meg though...

Bro,
better sell it at eBay coz people can bid it
IF u sell it in Garage Sales, no bidding, people will directly asking for reservation, no chance la for me
BTW, if u do not know, MOD here forbid selling the same item at 2 different places
it happened to me once when i tried to buy something
problem occured From here we can see the hype is still there & i bet it'll increase day by day since Hasbro will bringing in premium edition

For me, i skip premium for now
gonna concerntrate my Energon to buy all TFA & TFU
plus trip to Singapore by the end of June

Stalls at BotCon



Fainted looking at the rare stuff here.

I've been drooling at the botcon pictures for about 30 minutes now

@Samus, can post the link to where you got those pics?

Seriously, i think I need to go next year's botcon or maybe we should have our own here in malaysia!

p/s:

someone said smtg abt TransMY having an annual event. What is that about?

This post has been edited by J-Slade: Apr 27 2008, 10:38 PM

Better sell it at only 1 place at one time coz nanti I buy from you at LYN.net at the same time someone on Ebay bid the same item then problemlah

Very tempted to get some hmmmm

Ebay here I come!!

My god...

This is like E3 to video games! The dream of every TF fan to go there!!

Was at Jusco IOI mall just now. I was shocked to see not a single TF in sight!! All kena sapu already.

Can find some good ones here:
http://seibertron.com/events/event.php?event_id=95

TransMY had a "RobotCon" event last year before the movie. Not sure if there'll be one this year. Yeah seriously we should organize a trip to BotCon next year, really thinking about it.

Bro,
JJ IOI is totally a turned off

like i said in my previous posts in previous threads, JJ IOI is
totally a turned off JJ outlet
Been there few times but TFs just left with the shelf only with other toys on it
JJ Equine is totally a shocker
never imagine that TFs stock will be there
BUT last week, no stock at all
just TF magnets

Parkson Alamanda also a shocker
lotsa restock especially All Spark Leader

Forgot to post new haul yesterday


This post has been edited by madstone: Apr 27 2008, 11:31 PM

i wish we can organise sthing like this in Msia...create more healthy ways to collecting toys...

erkk??i thougt u said it was sold out?

WTA, my comm. soundwave had his chrome on the button panel faded off. any quick resolution for that?

chrome nothing much can be done lar bro...
if its silver, can be repainted back with silver..

can I paint it back wit silver marker pen?

Jusco IOI haven't restocked for a very long time oredi... Don't bother going there...

can...
but must do extra work a bit...
find sand paper 800 grit ans 1000...
sand off chrome with 800 until clean...
then finish off with 1000...
then, find primer spray paint...
spray the sanded parts, sand again when paint dry, then spray again..
best if u can find silver chrome paint, can try asking XL whether they have em or not...
those gundam markers one, if not, find the silver marker also can...
then, just conteng lar...hehehe...
this one will give u nice result la..
if u just straight away paint without doing that, finishing not so nice la...
and paint also can come off...

glad to hear that thanks bro. I now start to hate chromes. I didnt even touch that part also.

premium jazz still cant beat this jazz

wow cool... is that urs? I AM POISONED (~lalala report me report me!). Repaints r always better than originals. I was disappointed with premium meg once I saw it in real. Dunno premium jazz will be good or not? when izzit coming out?

yeap, expensive repaint, but i'm satisfied with the result, so in the end, happy

d movie jazz..lemme gues. by Ryukaze?

This post has been edited by UNDICI: Apr 28 2008, 01:29 AM

already told u, repaint by alan muk

Since i cannot buy more than 1 of the same TFA, i consider out of sotck
Actually that 1 is for myself but since Iman is the 1st one asking for TFA BB, so, i sold it to him laaa
Relax bro, new stock coming in

Guys,
Stealth BB RP is RM49.90 right?
got 1 seller from US selling it for the total with shipping for RM60

its supposed to be in TRU next week...
when exactly, not sure...
shud wait 1st...

Stealth BB, it is getting less and less interesting since the time it is announced till now.

i am eagerly looking forward to the voyager and leader TFA

imo just move on from tftm, wat's the point of buyin repaint if u already have one, or premium, or watever it is tat use the same mold, only change some parts like battle mask, op's sword, battle damage better use the money to buy new mold or other lines

yes Hasbro should let TFTM to rest & concentrate on the new moulds since they have tons of it queuing up. dam boring hearing the same mould again & again with a little icing here & there. made me feel fr a fan to dislike. no matter how good a thing is too many will spoilt the taste. just my opinion.

This post has been edited by quintesson: Apr 28 2008, 02:40 AM

why cant Hasbro repaint big2 tf like Fort max or unicron or supreme starscream etc...that would not be boring

My custom 20th DVD prime and some of the alternators collection...

hehe. that would be cool. the problem is, after buy ticket to go there, sure got no more money to buy TF there.

Repaint?



better wait for TRU, parkson, JJ or bla bla bla. sure got. don't rush. later regret.

me already done that. tired of seeing the same mold all over again. probably wanna keep TFTM hype alive and kicking i guess.

that will be a murder if they release repaints of the likes of Fort max or unicron in TFTM all spark series. better if hasbro reissue them.

yeah the details and effort placed on TFA in my opinion pwns all...i did not know hasbro would take the extra mile having to introuce such good moulds which are poseable...

I skipped Premium for the leader & deluxe but for Stealth BB, something to look fwd to

I know what's the point having same mould or repaint
the thing is, people looks TFs differently

Really envy the Americans... How I wish I could see THIS much TFs in M'sian retail stores...

the arrival of new cousin

good news for TF Fans...
Revo Mangus up for order at HLJ.com.
current status, may restocked...
price JPY 1900 excluding shipping..
ordered mine already...
huhuhu...

guys
got 1 question ...im wondering how u guys display ur transformers toys?

u guys arrange it according to series or mix and match geh?

so far i only saw Samus, madstone,undici and iman's cabinets wat abt the rest of u guys?

mind sharing ur display cabinets

Well, as for me all the MISBs were placed inside a gigantic plastic bag while the out of the box ones were imprisoned in my intergalactic drawer only to be called by the supreme ruler of Cybertron for once in a while for raping training sessions.

ok u r not displaying them?

coz im really out of space in my room now plan on buying Detolf or probably other cabinets to display them ... now my floor also got
probably gonna move some to my GF hus so want to see contoh of cabinet to display.... besides detolf coz i find detolf kinda small



ps: if this is consider spam do tell/warn me

Does anyone know if Takara Tomy has representatives here in Malaysia? Like a distributor or smtg?

I feel like organizing a small committee for a test-botcon-like event here in Malaysia this year. I wanna know, the Botcon at the states, do people pay entrance fee? Is it expensive??

woohoo... today this arrived in the mail... been waiting for this for the past 2 weeks.... less than RM 160





sorry for the rough pics... taking with cell phone camera

Wow... congrat on your new haul. You bringing a few of this too? If yes do let me know ya.

This post has been edited by mr-2: Apr 28 2008, 01:49 PM

thanks mr-2... unfortunately this one... out of stock worldwide... no longer in production.. unless they manage to find some fishbowl version from europe.. but highly unlikely.. cause this is the wrc version.. and non-tf fans will still buy it for the car mode... damn hard to get

only silverstreak and ricochet comes in fishbowl...
smokescreen all square box...
by meaning, no re-issue...
very the hard to get em...

Yeah... been looking for one since a long time ago. Found also very expensive. You got it at a very attractive price somemore.

yeap... agreed... damn hard to source... luckily managed to find this gem... this is the ultimate subaru mold.. the wrc version... even the driver is makinen... shows u how old this is

this is with the cannon on the shoulder?

no dude.. this one without the cannon on the shoulder... this is same as BT01... the one with the cannon on shoulder is BT07
