Grand Convoys Revisited...

Nostalgic walk down memory lane on a least liked Optimus Prime (ie. Superlink Grand Convoy) by many collectors. The other being the Armada Super Convoy...both are also known as "Fatimus" Prime and "Fish head" Prime respectively... check out the reviews and the pics, and you'll get the hint...

"I'm full with Energon"

Pretty easy transformation, similar with the Fire SL Grand Convoy piece I reviewed earlier...and now, rolling out together...

Both Grand Convoys (super-class SC-01 and deluxe-sized SC-13), rolling out together...

...and now, all 3 Grand Convoys, rolling out...

Fire SL Convoy appears from nowhere...

...overtakes both the Grand Convoys...

...and leads the pack...

Withstanding all those lucky draw versions, I thought these would be the last until years later, a new redecoed was released, coinciding with the Chinese zodiac sign and aptly known as the "Year of the Snake" Platinum Edition Optimus Prime...

...but that would have to wait another day.

In the meantime, a whole family affair...Grand Convoys, it's time to roll out!

together with the Candy kits and PLA Kit Collection Grand Scourge

Scourge leading the way...looks like another Decepticon to rule them all...

BIG bots Revisited...

Created an album titled "My BIG Bots" on my Facebook earlier but in case, you're not into Facebook-ing or probably in a country where this social media is being banned, fret not...I'm going to mirror those pics here. Well, I might even add a few more, just for your viewing pleasure...

Now for the rest...still MISB...

Energon toyline of Unicrons was redecoed from the Armada toyline, one sporting black and transparent orange while maintaining the other orange/yellow Armada version in the Energon packing box.

Energon Unicrons

This TF2010 version of Unicron and Primus remain highly sought after as they are of a complete different mold than previously displayed.

If you're enjoying this and intend to own one (or more), just drop me a line...anything and everything is up for grabs (ie. for sale) for the right price...provided they are still available...cheers!

(UPDATED : 2010 Primus and Unicron set sold)

Toy Review : Fire SL Grand Convoy

To end the year 2012 with yet another review of a very old piece...the Superlink Grand Convoy (SL Fire), a TV Magazine mail-away exclusive redeco of SL Grand Convoy. Apparently, there is only 3,000 such pieces worldwide and I'm owning one of them...
