Hey! The Ultra Magnus cab counts as a Convoy!
The RID Omega Prime is the US version. I've been trying to get ahold of the Japanese God Convoy gift set with the translucent Fire Convoy, Translucent God Magnus and the Brave Maximus sword but I can't find it anywhere.

that set is expensive, but not as much as the black fire convoy which is $700 alone.

My holy grail is the Lucky Draw gold Convoy reissue, theres only like 10 in the whole world, I was offered the black shadow sixshot lucy draw figure for 600.00, shoulda snagged it then cause the last one on ebay went for like twice that.


I also have a complete MISB unused set of every vintage transformers victory figure, took me about 8 yrs to find them all, they are all like new and flawless.

If I ever have the chance Black Fire Convoy will be mine!!!
The TFs I'm really looking for now are Star Convoy, Star Saber (or the Victory Saber Set), Sky Garry, Predaking, Overlord, Rachet, Ironhide, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, Scorponok and the Dinobots. G1 for me, Beastwars can bite it for all I care.

Your welcome

It baffels the mind as to why he doesn't just come with a damn case. It just doesn't feel like Prime without it to me. At least someone has taken the right idea and done something with it, here is hoping it doesn't suck.

Opinions?

Hi there; obviously you are a transformer fan, but what is your opinion of the new 20th anniversary fig?

Is it high quality, or just high price?

I've been waffling about getting a Takara release, but the price jumped $10 from the place I was thinking about getting it from.

Any info is apprecitated, even links to in depth reviews,

Thanks,

JG

i just got mine a few days ago. aside from the cheapo cardboard trailer, the actual toy itself is ace. transforming is a bit complicated. the overall quality of the joints are comparable to the Yamato Valkyries. lot's of nice detailing with the pistons, the matrix chestpiece, the little button in the back of the head to make him look like he's talking, the seat when he's in truck mode etc. doesnt look and feel as diecast heavy but it's still fairly heavy (i would've loved to see it with more diecast parts but it would've been way more expensive. the plastic parts are the nice and thick and doesnt have a hollow feel to it.

overall it's fairly close to what it probably should cost. but like i've said there really isnt as much diecast on the Takara version, so you're probably not really gonna miss out too on much from the Hasbro edition


btw one of the feet came off on mine when i first transformed it. it's basically a ball joint but i did manage to snap it back on. seems to be a common problem i've seen with other japanese toys from other companies.

No big Ape Convoy? World's Smallest? Go-Bot Prime? Bat? Nucleon Quest? Jafcon? Diaclone Magnus?

Just kidding, that's cool man. A year ago I could've shown mine off, I was only missing the prize ones and Star Convoy. I still have some super old pics left at Geocities, but that's all.
