The Road to Victory part 03 - The Photos

Previous chapter: The Acquisition

So here they are, photos galore of the best C-328 giftset I've ever come across and possibly the most well preserved one anywhere in the world (or at least I would like to think so).

First off, a size comparison just to get an idea of how really huge the C-328 giftset is.


The Victory Saber giftset is as big as a US boxed Omega Supreme, but about twice as thick as the latter


Comparison with BT-18 and MP-05 (which in itself is already a really large toy)

Sadly, there is no back-of-box art here.

Flap open away from box front unlike most US boxed TFs


C-328 contents and sealed packets of instructions, bio cards and decal sheets

And now, gratuitous photos of all the Star Sabers and Victory Leos I own.

  1. Aww, you're making me envious!!!
    haha. By the way, do you know that Omega Supreme's supposedly gonna be reissued in the Encore line?

  2. Hmmm... don't be envious. That's never my intention. I was thinking that I needed one set to keep and one set to play is all.

    Yup, I think our dear Defense Base is going to be reissued. I'm really looking forward to that!

  3. I love the Encore line's G1-styled packaging! I'm windering how much the Encore OS will cost though..... By the way, how did you acquire so many TFs in HK? The previous time i went there, most of the shopping malls didnt even have TF!

  4. Definitely. I think the G1 style packaging is the highlight of the Encore line (and probably the main reason I buy them).

    HK has many buildings that are like China Square Central (and the previous Clarke Quay). That's where I get all my toys from. Shopping malls have a very limited selection and even if you do find something you want, its usually more expensive than if you got it from a specialty shop.
