The G1 collection has certainly gotten a boost over the last couple of years, granted.. Still a few oddities to look out for though!

After last week, If I was there, I'd be looking at Triggerbots and Triggercons on the Fu Table.

I am in fact after a Windsweeper. Fingers crossed!

I don't have any Siege wave 3 yet, so prob get some of that now it's turning up, and will be definitely on the lookout for the Target exclusives, but I am betting the Rainmakers set will be at least £90. Try adding another £25 to that, Pinwig. Mental price because there are only a handful to be had. They do look glorious though. Micromaster ten pack is cheaper to import from Robot Kingdom including the postage than it is to buy here. Hmm. Might not be prudent to spend the budget on those. |

My wants list has now been adjusted to 'whatever's left' based on the thousand people standing in front of me. ID's six sets of Rainmakers aren't going to go far!

I never even saw a Rainmaker set. They must have evaporated immediately.

ID were the only stall with them and they had six sets. Browny reckons they'd sold to other dealers even before the hall opened. I think the 10 packs are about gone too, but knowing they're cheaper from Robot Kingdom has put my mind at rest there.

Yeah the MM sets were going fast.

Stuck to G1 so far. Astrotrain and three of the four 89 Micromaster stations (Greasepit went just as I was about to pick him up but I got the other three) from Toy Fu and the Superion I was after. Finally after 33 years I can stick Aerialbots on Metroplex! This is very excite! I will keep looking for Greasepit but the only one I've seen is £40!

Might be worth asking the Fu if they have another: I know there was more stock than could be put out.
We will need to see you MM City when you get home
I believe Dezzeh has some joy to share

I got Windsweeper! Also a Springer and a Pretender Bumblebee.
There are some loose US pretenders about but I am not paying £150 each loose..
Also got a boxed Hardhead from ToyFu for the 87 collection and gave them back the toy to sell again.. Got a boxed Mindwipe from IDToys but I’m going to need to sell on the toy here

I bought a G1 Bumblebee today because I realised I've never owned one. He cost less than the reissue and has the right face. Win!

As we're sharing haul photos - here's mine. Good job I spend the year tidying odd bits of cash away into a special TFN fun account. My souvenir random 'I had no idea I was going to buy this' purchase this year is Animated Ultra Magnus. You can press a button in his chest to make his mouth move! It looks like he's talking.  |

What other Micromasters does Pinwig have? Or are those his first?

This is why I need a proper pictorial checklist. I'm doing 89 at the moment, nothing from 90. Left to get from all the 89 releases: Greasepit (which I would have had with the other three stations had I been at the Fu table 30 seconds earlier), Erector, Overload and Flattop from the transports and then I need the Battle and Rescue Patrols.

He did shoot his load quite spectacularly on Saturday. I was impressed. It's his fault I spent so much. Until I knew he'd been on the big ticket items I was being very restrained.

Woah! I didn't realise he'd slipped in the cannon transport too. That wasn't cheap either!
