Does anyone have the following figures for sale or seen them at the local shops?

-Armada Super Base Optimus Prime
-Micron Legend MC-09 Jetfire
-Energon Ultra Magnus

They must be complete but they can be loose. Working electronics aren't absolutely imperative, but ideal. Not quite ready to purchase yet as I want to check out Cherry Bomb over the Easter long weekend, but I'm gauging availability. However if you have any of these and are looking for any of my trade items that would be even better as I'd rather get rid of old stuff than just spend more money.

Also, do I have to watch out for GPS with Optimus Prime?

It sounds like it depends on which version you get. I have the darker coloured Powerlinx version which doesn't seem to have the gold plastic joints:



Ironically I got this version because I liked the darker colour over the regular version. The only thing I'd like to do is get the Takara Overload as it has a darker red that matches the maroon-ish colours on the Powerlinx OP.

Thanks for the link. Interesting, some are saying it's GPS, others are saying it's just breakage due to stress.

Gotta be classic OP colors for me. I might consider the Takara version but the yellow is a bit too bright for my liking, and apparently they're harder to find? TF fans were less global back then, it seems. I could always pick up another version and do some part-swapping to remedy the problem areas. Wonder if anyone has bothered to whip something up on Shapeways yet, since we live in the future.

Holy mini-heads, Batman!

Just got my Dr. Wu DW-P23 "New Partners" heads, made for the exosuit that came with MP-20 and...man are they tiny!!!

Now...how the hell do I install?

Hopefully it'll be obvious when I have the two exosuits in front of me when I get home

I feel like it pops right out once you remove the dome, but I could be wrong?

Sounds dirrrrtay lyrics to a hip hop song that you and aren't supposed to understand

[kirbenvost]

LOL, except you totally do because they're not as clever as they think they are.

I am but I have something else to ship with Exhaust anyways.

Holy crap, I just had to pay $260 to HLJ. Got invoiced for my Star Saber, Exhaust, and a couple of the Transformers Adventures repaints (Dreadwing and Knockout). I separated out my Star Saber to its own shipment hoping it won't get hit for duty...

[kirbenvost]

Epic. Yeah Star Saber was a hit to my wallet, but way better than getting him through the US sites...and Canadian, since they now charge USD.
