Some stuff I had for long time - 1985 Whirl MIB

This is the fourth Transformer I dug up to photograph which in Singapore. It's none other than Roadbuster's buddy and fellow Wrecker - Whirl.

Love this mold as well, except for the loose arms of course. This is a very nice MIB sample of Whirl, complete with all parts, paperworks and also his very minty bubble insert and insert tray.

Some stuff I had for long time - 1985 Roadbuster MIB

This is the third Transformer I recently dug up and photographed. 

I have always liked this since 1985. It's a beautiful piece. Totally beyond my reach as a kid in 1985 because of price range. That is why I went through 3 MIB Roadbusters to get the best one in terms of the box condition, the toy, the sticker condition and its sheer completeness (Roadbuster being very notoriously difficult to obtain complete).

Here he is, a key member of the Wreckers, Roadbuster!

Beautiful, almost flawless front-face of the box

Check out the number of parts. No wonder its so difficult to complete this guy, especially in today's post "Last Stand of the Wreckers" market.

Some stuff I had for long time - 1986 Blurr MIB

This is the second Transformer I recently dug up and photographed. The very photogenic Autobot Courier - Blurr!

Some stuff I had for long time - 1986 Kup MIB

Was back in Singapore for 1.5 days 2 weeks ago and managed to take pictures of some Transformers I've had for sometime but not really 'documented'.

Here is the first: Kup MIB, first introduced in the 1986 Transformers: The Movie.

Another day, another Henkei

Was at the client's office today. The office happens to be near Wan Chai 188 Shopping Centre and so I went there for a wander after work.

Lo and behold, another Henkei aquisition. This time its Skyfire MISB for HKD$260.

Sunday and Monday acquisitions

Was out with jgon and his wife for lunch yesterday and we took the chance to go for some toy hunting in tandem. There wasn't much of interest in the Causeway Bay area. I spotted a pretty expensive Hard Hero Unicron statue, which was tempting except for the price.

I did manage to get Henkei C-19: Spy Team for HKD$100 though.

Walked around a little after work today and picked up Henkei Ironhide MOC (HKD$250), Mirage MOSC (HKD$350) and C-18: Attack Team MOSC (HKD$160). Mirage is absolutely beautiful and a steal really.

Transformers Victory, Hero giftset MIB, unused (aka Classic Pretenders)

One of my few unexpected buys a week shy of me hitting the shores of Hong Kong. I acquired this when I was out for a 'smash and grab' with my buddy jgon. I first saw this in Mandarake Japan back in January this year and it was shockingly expensive to the tune of US$400+. I was intrigued about why its so expensive and so when I saw one going cheaper, I jumped at the chance to get it.

I have very little interest in the so called "Classic Pretender" molds because, bar Bumblebee, I think they are poor representations of the characters. However, this set was just too minty and priced too well to pass up.

Into the acquisition basket it went!
