TF United G2 Laser Optimus Prime...

From a shelf warmer to a highly sought after item within seconds, following an announcement by yet another 3rd party toy manufacturer, Maketoy of its upcoming trailer add-on...

** Pics were shot in the car following my COD session with the seller...hehe..

Join the darkside...

Yea, I know with all the hype regarding the upcoming release of Star Wars BD version with hours of deleted scenes, that line seems like Darth Vader calling out to Luke to join him...but no...

That is just a prelude to the Takara e-hobby version of TF United Darkside Optimus Prime and Megatron...in short, yet another repaint.


Lately, Hasbro and Takara have been on a repainting spree 'coz why bother with new characters when you can milk those already successful ones...duhh...

Sept hauls...

Wow...seemed like I'm on a hauling spree...

Just picked up the TRU Exclusive Rage Over Cybertron 3 pack...this is basically a repaint of TF Generation OP, Megatron and Bumblebee

Followed by the KM02 Annihilator, the darkside of Knight Morpher Commander KM01...

Transformers trading cards...didn't buy them though, were given as free gift for my KM02 purchase..hehe...

SDCC TF Prime...

At the San Diego Comic Con 2011 (SDCC), saw the birth of the latest TF series character, Transformers Prime (TF Prime) Optimus Prime. While the mass release of the character is expected in Q4 2011, I've managed to get my hands on these first edition SDCC exclusive TF Prime Matrix of Leadership Optimus Prime (fuhh...what a mouthful).

Yes, it literally comes with the Prime figure, housed inside a Matrix which one could also wear around the neck...somewhat weird as in all cases, the Matrix is usually housed inside Prime itself...anyway, check out the MISB pics below...I believe I may take a while before un-MISB-ing them.

More new Primes...

Had been very selective on my hauls...skipped everything non-Prime related, focusing only on Optimus Primes :

From top :
1. Hasbro DOTM Ultimate Optimus Prime - as mentioned on the packaging, YES, it's the biggest Prime ever...with the wings expanded, it stands at over 22 inches...

2. Takara DOTM Jetwing Optimus Prime - this would definitely compliment the combined ROTF Buster Prime + Jetfire...

3. Hasbro Classic Optimus Prime - very rare nowadays, especially since the FP's trailer was launched...

OST Transformers DOTM...

Really love this...both the lyrics and music video.

Found this on Youtube. So, enjoy... Iridescent from Linkin Park (the guys who brought us 'New Divide' previously).

My 'FREE' hauls...

Not really free actually...still have to pay for the graphic comics though...


However, one good thing about buying online from Pelican - I got 20% off the comics, 1 free DOTM novel, posters and bookmarks!!
