I still need to go see it. Tardis do you know if anyone is making the original G1 megatron. I have always wanted the one where he turns into the gun.

Boxed and complete, never played with it.  The box corners have a bit of wear but thats all.  Will sort pics when I get some batteries.  Its not sealed in cellophane though  :icon_eek:

saw one go for £30 on ebay b4 and that was boxed and in same condition.  am hoping for £40 now the film is creating more interest  :icon_w00t:

It might go for more than that due to the film

Hope so.  Are they new characters or have they just upgraded the old ones?  Dont think Metroplex was a major character so cant see him being in new film anyway

I have not seen the movie yet but I believe they just used the old characters and upgraded the looks a bit.

I sold my old Gen 1 Megatron, that turned into a Wather gun, a while back and it fetched £110, boxed.
Def' worth putting stuff up now with the film on it's way out here, I'd wait until the 27th has passed Geoff  :icon_w00t:, as that's the offical UK release date, before ebaying anything.

Oh and Perv's anme is George :icon_wink:  waiting for the UK release date sounds like a good idea.

It's a running joke, Mike I called George, Geoff last time and thought it would be funny to see if he picked up on it again, and he did.
Funny thing is that when I was little I wanted to be called Peter, not James.

Have you been speaking to my folks?

You do realise that this could end up with us calling each other random names, with no ones else having a clue what's going on? LOL!!!!

I was already lost so I am guessing that would work.

Met your folks last night for a beer, they agreed to let me have your whole collection of figures for a round of drinks which I already bought them.  Hand em over !!!   :icon_w00t:

When I was a teenager me and my mates just called everyone Chris.  Whether we knew the person or not.  We'd get strange looks but life was far simpler....

Well that's all two of my miniatures gone then, *sigh* wish I'd had more in my collection for you, Bruce. :icon_ermm:

2 minis?  Thats not what my internal leadometer is telling me, I think that may be a porky pie Craig.... wheres my magnet.....   :icon_scratch:

Carefull, if it is a strong one you may lift the house.

Back on topic: I wish someone would make old school (G1) Transformers miniatures.

Post by: Perv on July 25, 2007, 10:07:10 AM
lol more a case of me crashing magnet first into it !!!

Yeah thats a thought, no one has ever produced minis from Transformers.  Not sure what the legal issues would be but I bet there would be a big market.  You'd need a game to go along with it though to make it really sell.

Ahhh, that's the lead I nicked off the church roof :icon_suspicious: that your meter is picking up, it's yours if you want it, Mark, Geoff, Dave, Bob, Fred? :icon_wink:

Mike, a japanese company did mini vinyl figurines a while back, plus they did the world's smallest Transformers, coming in at about an 1" or so tall, still transformable, I'm sure I still have Prime and Side Swipe kicking about the house somewhere.

Thread-omancy here...

I just watched Transformers again last weekend, on an IMAX screen.

Just watched 300.  Not bad at all.  Plenty of gore and limbs coming off, made my evening it did  :icon_w00t:  I can see many similarities between Spartans and Dwarfs as it goes  :shrug:

Transformers is the sort of movie I wished I was a kid for.  As an adult, I watched an awesome movie and had to smile at some of the contrived ideas for the kids- but dont misunderstand me.  This movie was wonderful for children and their parents.  It was good-well acted(except for the female lead) with awesome special effects and the ending scenes, with the military dropping the Decepticons into the Mariannes Trench were hilarious (a true Dr Evil moment I think).

  Im seriously gonna buy this one.
