TRU collections updated...

I posted this years back...with an unfulfilled wishlist then.

Years went by...so did my search for the elusive piece...however, as goes the saying "all good things will come to those who wait"...

Behold...the TRU Exclusive Clear God Fire Convoy giftset

Not to be mistaken with the normal God Fire Convoy version, this version comes with partially translucent red and plastic parts for Fire Convoy and God Magnus respectively. Included in this giftset, the God Fire Sword which I understand was originally meant for Fortress Maximus.

Since this giftset is only limited to 3,000 pieces worldwide and I already have the Fire God Convoy on display, I shall keep the set MIB for now, bubble-wrapped and all.

With this in hand, my TRU collections is now deemed as complete...hehe...

...or should I be getting another set? Hmm...food for thought since I've multiple sets of Sonic and Magna Convoy anyway...

Corbot V War Axe

This is probably my first 3rd party add-on and definitely, the first review of such as a fact of the matter...

Anyhow, the Corbot V War Axe has since long sold out, having released back in 2010. Nevertheless, was fortunate to be able to get my hands on few of them...

...great add-ons for my WFC Optimus Primes...haha...

Simple packaging...nothing exciting, untaped some more...

The Axe is basically, made out of 3 parts...1 part blade, 2 parts to form the handle...

...just snap them into place and there, you have it...

As I mentioned earlier, a really great add-on for Prime...in the words of Jerry Maguire...you complete me...

now I'm ready for battle...

Prime can wield the axe with either one hand or with both hands...pretty cool, huh?

Now to place an axe in every one of the Primes...(pls ignore the backdrop coz' till I have a mini studio or at least, a better backdrop...this would do for now)

Groupie shot with their axes...

Next on my shopping list would be the Carnage Axe, specifically for Darkside Optimus Prime. He's err..kinda 'empty', only with his blaster.

Classics Menasor

Another redeco of the Legends of Cybertron Optimus Prime. The only Decepticon of the same mold. As with its Autobot brothers, it also transforms to a Cybertronian truck; no weapons, accessories or trailer included.

Classics packaging, similar with Optimus Prime...

Menasor unleashed...

Frankly, the black and purple color scheme stands out...somewhat differentiated from the standard red and blue of Optimus Prime...and definitely more vibrant than the dull bluish of Hot Zone's...

Those bluish parts are purplish actually, naked eye perspective...

Transformation, in 5 steps (in contrary to the 8-step instructions on back panel)...to truck cab...

One Decepticon to lead them all...this is sooo wrong...

I'm somewhat of a mold completist...if there is a mold I'm particularly fond of, I'll go to all lengths to complete it. So, I thought this mold is done for until I realised there is still one redeco piece missing...the EZ Collection Optimus Prime...no thanks to Google and allspark.com...arrghh!!

missing the 3rd piece from left

Apparently, there's 7 redecos altogether (Lucky Draw pieces excluded) (had to revise my earlier post accordingly to reflect this new finding...). Anyway, the journey continues...

Till all are one...just enjoy the United Colors of Benetton...Prime, I mean...haha...

* Clear Optimus Prime can't join in the fun...still in its MISB state...
