CITY COMMANDER!

FANS PROJECT "ULTRA MAGNUS ARMOR" IS NOT A LICENSED HASBRO OR TAKARA PRODUCT, BUT WOW THIS THING IS AWESOME. ALTHOUGH IT IS A "PARTS"-FORMER, SO MUCH ENGINEERING WENT INTO THIS AWESOME-NESS. CLASSICS ULTRA MAGNUS WAS A BORING WHITE RE-PAINT OF OPTIMUS PRIME, AND NOW, HE TOWERS OVER PRIME, AND LOOKS MORE LIKE HE SHOULD.

(FANS PROJECT CITY COMMANDER ARMOR IS THE 83RD TRANSFORMER I'VE PURCHASED)









TAKARA SCF CHASE FIGS GHOST STARSCREAM & METALLIC GRIMLOCK

YESSSS! I WAS ABLE TO GET ONE OF MY "GRAIL" FIGS, TAKARA SCF GHOST STARSCREAM! ON TOP OF THAT, IN THE DEAL I MADE, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE OTHER CHASE FIG I WAS LOOKING FOR, METALLIC GRIMLOCK. GHOST STARSCREAM IS ONE OF THE RARER AND MORE SOUGHT AFTER SCF (SUPER COLLECTION FIGURE) PVC'S. I'VE SEEN SOME GO FOR BETWEEN $75 TO $200! CRAZY, I KNOW! FOR SOMETHING SO SMALL! ANYWAYS, WANT TO GIVE A BIG UPS TO ULTRACONVOY FROM THE TFW2005 BOARDS, HE HOOKED ME UP WITH AN AWESOME DEAL FOR BOTH!

Brave Maximus!

Brave Maximus is one of 3 Maximus siblings, the other 2 being the Super-Rare Grand Maximus, and the somewhat rare Fortress Maximus.

(Brave Maximus is Transformer #80)

Big Boy Shelf...

So i decided to scrap my Starscream collection shelf, and put more focus on the "Big" guys i just got. In the past couple months, i've purchased a G1 Scorponok, a Black Energon Unicron (Rare), an Armada Unicron, a Cybertron Primus, and a Brave Maximus! I already had a Cybertron Supreme Starscream, so he fits in well with the other guys.

(These guys are Transformers #'s 75-80)

Henkei Exclusives!

I got these Japan convention/store exclusives from the TFW2005.com boards. The Henkei Wildrider is a really nice re-paint of the Hot Rod mold, and is probably better than the Botcon Evil Hot Rod mold.

The Henkei Seekers, Thundercracker and Skywarp, were purchased for $125 shipped! Great deal since most online stores are selling them for $130-$140 PLUS shipping. One thing of note is that Thundercracker is one of the most wanted classics figs, because he previously came out in the 2007 Botcon set, and that was the only way to get him. The price on him ranges from $125-$200, so its good for some collectors to get him for under $75, however i heard there are some quality issues with the Henkei version, so I'm just going to keep him MISB.

Universe Stormcloud

Not sure the history on Stormcloud, but he is an awesome black and purple re-paint of the Universe Powerglide.
