Transformers you really want but don't think you'll ever be able to have

Post by Alpha Trion »

Black Shadow, Spinner, Black Fire Convoy, Super Indy Heat and Shining Unicron are all TFs I'd love to have, but I most likely will never be able to, especially that last one, as there's only 10 of 'em.

What toys do you love, but will never own?

Short list here: Overlord, G1 Megatron, and Energon Ultra Magnus. Nothing overly impressive there, like Stepper or Artfire. Or any of the Japanese exclusive Cassettes or Headmaster heads.

Graphy. He'll not be reissued unless there's a Blaster reissue and Takara really, really go nuts on cassettes. We all know if there was an Autobot Cassettes reissue pack, though, that eHobby would put out a bonus set of lurid recolours rather than something people want.

About the only two other rarities I'm hugely interested in are Artfire and Star Saber, and to be honest I'm content to take my chances with the outside possibility of future reissues.

There's a few Diaclones I have a mild interest in - Marlboor "Wheeljack", Powered Convoy, all the different "Skids/Crosscut" versions, police "Sunstreaker", but nothing that I'm desperate for.

Omega Supreme, Black Fire Convoy and maybe (out of morbid curiosity) a Maximus. Policestreaker would be nice, too.

I have an Overlord. :p

There are a few I'd be interested in because I'm curious, but apart from the current lines, I really have everything I wanted and then some.

I know this kinda defeats the purpose of the topic, but for a long time, I wanted a complete G1 Scorponok and Trypticon. Well, about two weeks ago, I got the chance and snatched them up (and my credit card has been screaming at me ever since).

As of right now, the one single figure I really want is Fortress/Bravus Maximus. Even the current Korean clone would suit my needs perfectly. I had the chance to get one of these about 4 months ago, but I slept on it and lost out. Been kicking myself ever since.

The Korean Brave Max is officially licensed from Takara, so it's legit, not a knockoff.

G1 Shockwave, G1 Defensor, G1 Swoop, and Fortress Maximus. I held Fort Max in my hands and ever since, I really want to get this badboy.

EDIT: Almost forgot. Energon Prowl, Energon Arcee, and Supreme Unicron. The TRU in my area sucks. They've had the same damn Energon figures ever since they came out. They never carried Arcee or Prowl and I heard they're available in Staten Island, but I don't feel like paying a $6 toll to get $16 in toys.

Nothing really springs to mind other than that homemade BotCon Arcee (ie, not the BW repaint, the fully transformable prototype...)

I did pay quite a lot over the US retail price for Energon Arcee, though.

I'm not obsessed with Arcee. Honest.

Oh... almost forgot... Energon Shockblast and Alternators Meister (white) ...not sure if/when they'll make it over here, and I refuse to pay over the odds for them. UK shelf prices are bad enough as they are.

I can think of objections to Arcee (weapon large and tricky to display, small size compared to something like Battle Ravage) but since I don't display her with it except in motorcycle mode, it's not a problem. $6 is a bargain.
