Still trying to write stuff.
Now, I'll write fluff.

Nice acquisitions! Guess i was right about the Goodbye Convoy heh. I personally do like the 2010 Predaking box, find the gold instead of yellow used for the TFs quite a nice touch too :)
ReplyDeleteWhy so many Goodbye Convoys?!?! Lol! You've caught the Goodbye Convoy disease my friend!
ReplyDeleteYes you are right. It's for a friend actually, so technically, it won't be "mine" for much longer! I've been resisting Predaking for sometime now, but thought that I should cave this year - every year I get something large stocky with strong warm hues like red and yellow for display during Chinese New Year. Last year was MP-09, this year, it's Predaking!
ReplyDeleteIf you ever come across a metalhawk insert for the box, email me! I just need the plastic tray insert!-hotspot17
ReplyDeleteHey HD! :D
ReplyDeleteThat is a mighty fine haul there dude, a shame that parts are missing mind you but it seemed to be a bit of a rushed selling off of a collection to me; That Black Zarak though just looks awesome as do the Euro G1 figures. :O
(I've always loved Rotorstorm & Clench but have just never found a place, or the funds :P, for them in the collection)
Very glad to see you've picked up the 2010 Predaking though mate, admittedly he was/is my first complete set of G1 Predacons but man oh man do I love them and like Eric above; I too find the gold paint apps to be rather tasteful. :)
Here's the question though: Are you going to apply the stickers?, especially the eye/visor stickers? ;)
@ hotspot17- will let you know if I come across that!
ReplyDelete@Hursti- yes, the selling off by the guy is pretty rusehed, but for a person with that calibre of rare pieces, I'd have expected that he knew what was complete and what was not and also to include all parts in packing.
I like Rotorstorm and Clench too, the latter being killed by Megatron.
The 2010 Predaking is actually very awesome. I was staring at it dumbfounded after I combined it. The way the colored the plastic is certainly very tasteful and adds a lot to the ferocity of the Predacons.
Yes, I am going to apply the eye stickers! Deceptions must have red eyes!
