awesome. even some spoilers already interest me even more.

by the way, can anyone tell me more about Transformers Pretenders?

agreed. really dissapointed with Overkill, Dragstrip. both mere repaint. Overkill alt mode should be a cassette, not robot. OP look nice in robot but shabby in truck mode. Megatron, a tank. almost same as War within.

haven't got it yet.

my prowl legs already loose. superglue to the rescue.

a bit of both. actually more on can't find it anywhere. haven't tried carefour though.

Galvatron in G1 is a cannon. but in TFU he's a tank. really pening. Bay really like to play mind tricks on us.

hmm. good point though. in TFTM 1 Bay have made alteration in original TF storyline.

whoa. everyone is learning tikam. me cannot display my tikam bot in my office coz my boss recently always bring his 7 year old son to office. afraid later my tikam bot kena kidnap.

owh yeah, one question.

TFA wasp and TFA waspinator is the same robot or not?

Forget to post it here. kasi poison sikit.

My new haul for 1st day of 2009.

The Predaking.


Quite heavy when i first time held the box. after checking the item inside, really satisfied with the overall condition. Really Top Notch.


As for Robot mode, it's ur typical G1 Brick mode and my favourite Predacon would be Divebomb. The Diecast part really contributing to the heavy weight of each robot.


Finally, The Predaking. Joints very tight and solid. but really hate that 'tak tak tak' sound when rotating the hands. feels like something going to break but nothing happen actually. Heavy in combine mode.

wow. damn creative u are. how long does it take to build that?

the former Tf thread forumer sold it to me.

eh, got encore Predaking coming soon? where's the source bro? now everybody can own a Predaking.

owh. i bought mine for RM 350. yeah, expensive, i know but the quality still top notch. no play wear or even sticker wear. really satisfied with it.

Last time i saw one MISB Predaking selling for RM 1000.

yeah. saw a lot of G1 combiners in ebay.com.my. range price is RM 250 - RM 600.

eh, encore quality not good meh? how come?

ahaaa. i saw Samus in the picture.
yeah. arrive there around 1pm. almost nothing left.

nice 2 cents bro. We all know there are two types of seller who sell things at high price. Scalper and the one who had to sell it at high price. We all know that scalpers scalped almost everything they sell but the honest seller only sell it at high price because they had too. They probably get their stocks with that kind of price so they had to sell it at that kind of price. i know RM 1k++ is a high price for a brick G1 but it is very rare plus the condition is top notch. it's up to the buyer to decide. nobody force the buyer to buy. buy it or let it go.

i understand ur feelings bro. some people cannot accept when a mear toys cost RM 1k. but to us TF collectors, we can accept this fact because we know the rarity of the item.

no la bro. stoner bought the bandai model kit 1/72 macross. must pasang2. luckily no transformers are model kit. or else

good point. not of TF suffer phenomena like that but also other things. last time Takara MP-01 only being sell at RM 350 but now, even RM 1000 for each MP-01 also got. why? because there are not much stocks left. the recent MPs such as MPSS, MP-07 can easily be found with price tag of RM 200++ and RM 350++ respectively. why? because there are still stocks laying around in all toy shops u visited. if people who buy MP-01 u called idiot/stupid, then what do u call ppl who got their MP01 for RM 1000 but sell back for RM 500? genius? i reckon not. we buyer tend to think for our own self but never think about the seller. i admit there are sellers who took advantage of naive buyers. some maybe but some are honest. if they got things from supplier at high price, how can they make a living by selling at lower price?

summore, it is us buyer who make the price shoot up. how? just look at ebay. when TFTM BB08 is a hot item, the seller open bidding at RM 50 but then the price shoot up till RM 100 because of the bidding. and still got ppl buy that RM 100 BB08. so other seller will see that BB08 still sell even at twice the ori price sure take this chances.

Don't simply call ppl who buy at high price idiot/stupid. they may know the actual price but there aren't any left around so it maybe their last chance to own that TF. so they got extra cash, and they can afford to buy then let them be happy with their purchase.

then i ask u this, imagine when someday fuel n gas are depleted. only few gallons left around. and that few gallons being sold at RM 1k per litre. u have the cash. and u bought it at RM 1k per litre. so what should we, the one who can't afford to buy call u?

i'm gonna wait for soundwave earth vehicle mode first.

agree here. if u dun like what u see, just let it go bro. no need to make fuss about it. if u want to make urself happy, keep in mind that the RM 1k predaking won't sell. end of story. i'm sure u're a smart buyer@Tf collector.

we all hate scalpers like u do. especially when u bought something and later u discover the price u've paid aren't the retail price. surely it pisses u off but it is a great experience. like u said, scalpers are everywhere. u can avoid it by buying from retail outlet such as Jaya Jusco, Parkson and etc for the common TF such as TF universe, TF animated. as for henkei and other line, it's up to u on how are u gonna find the most reasonable deal. different seller different price. when u see a scalper's price, just ignore it. u just cannot stop them from selling coz there's always going to be a buyer.

no hard feelings bro. we hate scalpers too. but we just ignore them rather than flaming or discussing about them here.

well bro. it's up to the individual on how they see each toys as toy. to us TF collector, we dun see Transformers as a mere toy. of course, it's true we're fulfilling our childhood dreams by buying back transformers. like me, i'm not into gundam even though it is cool coz i don't have that leisure of time to assemble or modify it.

the reason why i like transformers is because it can transform. unlike gundam which is super poseable but only few of it can transform. no offense. coz i still think gundam is cool. appreciate those who put their heart into painting and modifying gundam. got some TF collector also kitbashed their TF; repaint, modified, such as sunnyboy.

anyway, i'm glad this debate is over.

aiseh. gotta admit. TFTM 2 OP look more accurate and slimmer.

TFu Hound color is light green right?

that's Hound original G1 head bro. check Alt/BT hound. exactly the same.

whoa. power bricky haul. quick, rape n poison us.

How much for the soundblaster bro? me want to get TFC broadcast but dun have extra cash at that time during the sale.

yeah. Prowl car mode already have two repaints; Silverstreak and Smokescreen.

Sunstreaker car mode repaint already have 2 repaints also; Sideswipe and Red alert although the head sculpt is different.

Ironhide car mode got one repaint only; Ratchet with different head sculpt.

i guess OP is the one having more repaints. let see, got 4. Ultra Magnus, Nemesis Prime, Botcon exclusive Shattered glass OP and transparent OP.

haha. depends bro. if completist sure buy all. dun care repaint or not.

eh. penang don't have toyshop geh? u can always try other forum garage sale. ebay.com.my also got.
