I've got the Abominus repaint and the Legends. Wish I'd picked up the combiners, especially that mad Op. They've often been available on Amazon and eBay surprisingly cheaply in the past year or so (a few are still around for £13 - £20 each). -Jim

I've had a few I didn't get round to buying on a wish list for a good while, and they're creeping up now. The prices bottomed out in the autumn. I really want a Budora but never got as far as buying one.

For 'Transformers Go' to exist is poo! Phil's fabricated the web-entry too! The TFWiki pages, the linked toys, the TFU entries, the BBTS page..... It exists. It might be one of the maddest Japanese lines for years but it exists. And, because it is Japanese only, somewhere down the line these mightbe worth a penny or 2.

It isn't that mad really. I actually liked the cartoon; the two versions repeat a lot of content but there is a logical order to them and there is a story in there too about the resurrection of Predaking. It's a bit like Masterforce in that the Autobot teams are awoken on Earth to deal with the threat while the main characters from Prime are elsewhere. There are some odd proportions in the figures and the combiners look a bit wonky, but they're decent.

We'll take a loose definition of the word fish as any animal that primarily live in the sea or water.

I love all the Seacons, Sharpedge is a great remould, Video Razorclaw/ Rockbuster is a great repaint and Ikard's Tako Tank is just MAD! On with the show: 5) Seawing4) OverbiteWe start with two Seacons, fab toys that take the Scramble City concept to a new level with beast and weapon modeas. 3) SkybyteStunning repaint which redeems what had seemed a wortless mould. 2) Depth ChargeFabulous Ultra, so much fun. 1) Beast Wars CybersharkArch shelf warmer in the UK, but my goodness what a good deluxe figure it is! Though of course the best transforming robot/fish toy isn't a Transformer it's Brave's Captain Shark! (Yes Ian both the Tako Tank and Captain Shark really exist!)

I have played with Nick's Captain Shark quite vigourously and found it to be good.

Not quite.
I mean it's obviously SOMETHING to do with Movie toys but what ?
Here's a clue: Some of these were one of the last things I bought from Woolworths but the last one I bought was from TRU's website last year!

The most obvious TRU purchase from you Toys Bought In 2015 post is the Evolution of Optimus Prime 2-pack. So Classic v Movie double packs? Has there been enough of those to do a varied top 5?
|
|

Post by Philip Ayres on Jan 28, 2016 23:08:29 GMT
There has been a few, but no it's not Movie double packs. However some of the contents of some of these packs will fall into this category which fits 30 or so toys.

Non-movie moulds reused in movie lines? Woolies had quite a few of those Energon Scouts from the 2007 movie line.

Week 143: Movie Repaints from other lines Also ran: AOE Wal*Mart Grimlock. Shadowstriker, Smokescreen & Sparkcrusher from ROTF Legends packs. Mudflap (we all know it's Erector) and Jetstorm from Movie 1. Japanese DOTM Vortex which goes for silly money and the vastly underpaced Tescos Spacecase. AoE Rollbar which I've never seen in the plastic and Three Pack Classics Bumblebee. The 7 Asda/Wal*Mart Movie 1 deluxes: Bigdaddy, Jolt, Grindcore, Divebomb, Crankcase, Fracture & BreakawayIt might have shelfwarmed but I like the Superion box set and would have happily paid for Bruticus too if it had shown up here! Crosshairs, Airraid & Skyblast. Those Basics were a fab exclusive line. Hoist would be somewhere near the top but technically he's disqualified due to being a repaint of a toy from a previous movie! 5) StormsurgeLovely repaint, and hard to get before the ASDA ROTF (?) vs packs showed up 4) ClockerClocker was called Skids in Japan in Galaxy Force. So what better colours to repaint him in than Skids' colours? 3) StrongarmI wanted a Hound from Strongarm the moment I saw him in Energon. This delivered. 2) StrafeBeautiful. So simple and so well done. BW Swoop. See comments bellow on price! 1) SlugTake a mould not released in the UK before. Repaint it in a gorgeous colour scheme. Pack it with a Legion. Release at an insanely price. Seriously £8 something for this and a legion? Bargain doesn't begin to cover it!
