JawBreaker · Post by **JawBreaker** » Sat Oct 01, 2005 5:57 pm

Well today i went out to a toy fair and returned with GF Soundwave in my hands and a smile on m face.

Now sure i payed the extortionate price of £40 for him, but I'm one of those crazy ppl that think its worth it, one of the best transformers I've bout for a long time.

And so my question to you is, what transformer have you bout recently that has topped your scales?
And which have fallen flat on thier faces ?

You are one lucky you!

But the price was indeed kinda steep...

I'm going to let you in on a little secret tho: I haven't acctually bought a TF since 1993. And in reality it was my sister that got it for me. It was a Grimlock. G2-packaging I think?? But the colours were classic.

I've thought about it, and wanted to a few times. But it's never happened.

The dream is an MP Prime, for cheap. Any version will do. I mean, even the most casual TF-fan would want one, right?

I`ve been told Soundwave is cool. Me, I`m just happy Alternators have come down in price, Swindle and Shockblast are very happy in their new home.

Why not buy the MP Ultra Magnus from Besty? It's the same in white... And cheaper then a new one from a store.

I still think my GF Vector Prime is great.

Alternators. Other than that I like old stuff and a handful of pieces released after the original movie...

Alternators are glovely. Shockwave, Ravage, Grimlock...Oh, and I saw RM Thundercracker and Skywarp in Forbidden Planet yesterday. They look Schweeet.

I bought Armada Laserbeak for cheap recently as well, and I was expecting him to be the naffest thing ever, but he's actually turned out to have a surprising amount of fun value. Not bad for £2 out of a bin at TRU.

You just can't get enough of that Flash, eh Gengar?

I'd think that there's a reissue version wich is slightly smaller than the original, no? (I have a vage memory of seeing something like that..

) I think that's a cooler way to make a custom than the in-scale reissue, cause then he wouldn't be so blasted big!

...

guilty

Seriously though... a 1/55 VF1 (A, J, S) Bandai can be customized to look like Jetfire, but with a 1/48 Yamato Valkyrie, it can look even sweeter.

Pics of 1/48 VF1S Yamato Valk customize for jefire.
