Ok ok... I know you guys probably think that this is kinda outdated or something already but pray PLEASE let me just use this topic as a "PRACTICE round" for blogging!!!
No... I am NOT gonna talk/review about the MOVIE as obviously most of you have already watch this blockbuster hit at least once since its RELEASED in Malaysia. I myself watch it twice because I just couldn't get enough of the AWESOME CGI-created robots, the battle scenes, (Especially the one at the beginning of the movie and also the part where Big OP took on 3 Decepticons all by himself) and OF COURSE Megan Fox!!! XDXD~
Anyway, back to the topic, what I am gonna 'blog' (AM still trying to figure out what in the WORLD make me set up this blog..) is about the TOYS that were released prior to the movie which I, as a collector since I was small, started collecting again!! I know this might sound kinda childish to you guys out there but WHAT THE HECK, right? Cuz its all about me in this blog... Just all about me!!! So BEAR with me PLEASE!!! XDXD~
Ok... This toys are not EXACTLY cheap if I may say so myself because it cost RM59.90 for a Deluxe Class Transformer, RM119 for a Voyager Class Transformer, and RM249 for a Leader Class Transformer. I can hear some of you guys back there saying that its WAY TOO EXPENSIVE a hobby which I have here but, well, like I said, WHAT THE HECK, right?? I mean its not the cheap, imitation kinda Transformers that I am talking abut here, its the ORIGINAL ones that I am collecting!! Straight out of Hasbro and Takara Tomy (For those who have never heard of Takara Tomy, they are the ORIGINAL inventors of the Transformers who sold their RIGHTS over the Transformers to Hasbro but is still allowed to produce them under their company's name). But I do admit, its REALLY kinda expensive but, as I said before, its my hobby so I have no qualms about spuldging some $ on it. I just need to save here a bit save there a bit eat a little bit less skip some meals.... you will get the idea!!
At the time I published this post, I currently have 5 Voyager Class Transformers (Voyager Class Optimus Prime, Voyager Class Ironhide, Voyager Class Ratchet, Voyager Class Megatron/Galvatron and Voyager Class Starscream) and 9 Deluxe Class Transformers (Deluxe Class Bumblebee, Deluxe Class Chromia, Deluxe Class Smokescreen, Deluxe Class Sideswipe, Deluxe Class Skids, Deluxe Class Mudflap, Deluxe Class Ravage, Deluxe Class Sideways and Deluxe Class Soundwave). As for Leader Class Transformers, its kinda out of my league at the moment although I kinda have my eyes set on 3 Leader Class Transformers that have been released recently, namely Leader Class Optimus Prime, Leader Class Jetfire and Leader Class Megatron/Galvatron, so IF I save here a bit save there a bit...Hopefully!!
OK...For those who are Transformers fans, albeit not 100% kinda fans, you might be wondering where I got some of those Transformers, as currently in the market there are only a few kinds that you can choose from (Last check by me at some leading toy stores, was that you can still ONLY find Deluxe Class Skids, Deluxe Class Wheelie, Deluxe Class Chromia and Voyager Class Demolisher). Well, for the more common ones... I bought them straight from leading toy stores and also from those shops that sells Collectibles and Models!! For the rarer ones such as Deluxe Class Ravage and Deluxe Class Mudflap, I got them through eBay!! It was kinda an interesting experience for me as this is the very first few times that I had dealt through eBay!! Imagine my anxiousness just waiting for some of the models that I bought through eBay.. Questions such as "Was I conned?"; "Will my parcel actually arrive?"; "Will my things be in MISB condition or are they just BIB?"; "Will my parcel be in good shape?"; "Will my parcel that I paid with my hard earned cash be LOST in the post?" or "Will the contents be in good condition?" keeps running through my head!! But in the end... I NEVER did face any of this kinda situations so it was like an eye-opener to me that in this world there are still HONEST people out there. (Currently, I am bidding for a Voyager Class The Fallen through eBay which is gonna end any time now!! So wish me luck...XDXD)
So.. Childish for me to be collecting such things at such an age?? Well, my good friends, try your hand at transforming one of the robots, prefarably a Voyager Class or a Leader Class one, believe me you will CRY!!! The very first time I tried to transform the movie version's Voyager Class Ironhide, it took me an hour or so to figure it out!!! No joke here... If it wasn't for the review that I found though Youtube, it would have took me longer!!
REMINDER.. Its no child's toy so don't look down on it!!!
Ok.. Thats about all for now!!! I will be trying to upload photos of my collections with some DETAILED facts about each and every one of the Transformers characters/toys that I currently have once I get the hang of it so please stay tuned for those who have the time to spare to look at all this craps that I am writing here!!!
Until then... take care and cya!!!
Photos!!
