I stopped at TRU on Friday after work. They still had about 6 Alt. Shockblasts, 2 Windchargers, 1 Swerve, and the 4 new guys. I still haven't seen Rollbar or Ricochet anywhere yet.

I just received Korean Market Giga Storm.

Korean box w/o any windows :down:
Box material quality :down:
No foam insert, just cardbard :down:
Figure oriented upside down in box from factory :down:


So far, I'm not so thrilled with it. It has to sit on the display shelf with the box photos upside down. Since there is no foam insert to distribute the TF's weight in the box, displaying the box right side up means that Gigastorm's weight is coming down on it's horn.

This one may go back on e-Bay in a few months.

The Korean market TF's are so hit and miss.

I just found an Alternators Rollbar yesterday. Still haven't found the new Subie.

3. jets!? dinobots?! lets get in good with this guy ... horry chit ... man.

I'd hold off on the OP thing for right now, as I'm still waiting to get my original order from him. As for the tapes, I believe these are the funky color BL ones that are all plastic. No Metal at all. Check ebay, they are like pink, blue, and funky colors like that. Looks like we can do a group buy from this guy on anything he has.

This thread has been pretty dead lately.

I got my Voltrons this weekend though. It looks so much more awesome in person. I love the packaging...it even came wrapped with with styrofoam in a separate box that is numbered the same as the certificate.

Just got the cheap e-bay dirge. Yep, MISB hammered box. This dirge isn't going to stay MISB much longer.

for $10, you might be able to get $20 for him. Relist it at $10 and see what happens.

I'm considering relisting that Alt. Meister I just got since it's being re-released with the new packaging.
