Tripredacus's Collection


Tripredacus

Recommended Posts

Yay after about 5 months of making the poll asking whether or not I should make a new collection thread, I finally did! I can't even tell you how many toys I have right now because my collection is in disarray. I have bought stuff I haven't written down, and have sold a bunch of loose figures on ebay as well. The collection page on my site is outdated as well.

 

This is the the first group of pictures, and starting out will be boxed items. This isn't all of them, but about 98% of them. Sorry for my bad camera! The lighting wasn't that great.

 

Make a reply so I can post more!

Its just a bunch of parts! I bought it for $2.37 and I can't complain. But really it didn't come with the instructions. It came with the Killer WHALE instructions instead... :redface

You bastards deleted my awesome thread! Now I have to start all over! Well not really....

Bought a couple of the repro inserts from Ebay Seller ptrckcrw2. I picked up a Bombshell and a Blitzwing. Because I used the BIN wrong (paid double for shipping) he sent me a Mirage one as well. It comes with the appriopriate cardboard peices to mount on, and a tech spec decoder. The decoder functions properly, but the plastic quality is lower than the original, so its soft. All in all its a great buy.

1. Picture of Mirage insert and the cardboard peices. Also the decoders and an example tech spec to show how it looks.

2. A top-down angle of the Mirage insert, as well as a view of how the Bomshell insert looks in the box.

I didn't take a pic of the Blitzwing insert because I don't have the cannon part for him, so it doesn't rest properly in the box unless I were to glue the plastic on the cardboard. And if I did that, then I wouldn't be able to put the cannon in there!

3. This is a reference pic of my red foot Optimus Prime. The condition isn't as good as I remembered.. No he isn't orange, its just the pic. The trailer is intact, ie the door has its hinge still. It is an all plastic trailer. Roller and accessories are not shown as they are kept in a separate container so I don't end up losing them. Prime's stacks are pretty loose, and I am not sure if I can tighten them. I have no experience using the nail polish trick and the screws on his arms are already tight.

4. Here is a shot of him in robot mode and the underside of the trailer. I bought this Prime from someone here but I can't remember who. The trailer came with the purchase, but there is a 1992 stamp on the bottom of it.

5. This is a close up of the robot dude inside the trailer. He is missing the grapple arm on the top that is on the other side of the cockpit as the radar dish. I could take it apart and replace it with the arm from a G2 Prime but I don't think I will...

In a couple weeks my Dad is moving out and I get to have the whole house to myself. This means the unassembled shelving units I've been saving up will be put together and have toys put on them! I'll definately be taking pics of the setup when the time comes!

Original Prime, nice.

 

Why'd the original thread get deleted?

 

That was hella awesome.

 

Made of :win

 

Best of luck with the new one.

I think it got pruned awhile back because I didn't update it in so long.

 

Also a thing that comes to mind is I'll be able to bring up all my GI Joe bases and big-ass things like Gobots Command Centers and set them all up. As I am thinking about it, I might dedicate an entire room to them... Now all I will need to to buy some more shelves!
