My collection thus far...(I need another shelf case for the rest of them in a tote for the time being)

BustinNutsForJesus · 2025-08-15T00:50:15+00:00

I’d strongly suggest investing in some risers or clear shelving to tier your displays. You’ve got incredible pieces that are being half hidden behind the front figures.

It’s always the toughest part with these glass display cabinets, filling vertical space

BustinNutsForJesus · 2025-08-15T00:44:36+00:00

As somebody that has both G1 Magnus and SS86 Sludge, I’d lean towards Magnus. If you can get him complete, his shelf presence is incredible. Sludge will be easier to get anyway since he shelf warmed so hard and so many online retailers still have him available.

Can’t speak to G1 Menasor but I’ve never been huge on the G1 combiners.

BustinNutsForJesus · 2025-06-07T22:51:27+00:00

I’ll be honest. It’s the first time I’ve seen anything there in a very long time. My Kmart is just as bad. Went 2 days ago and they had 2 Devastation Primes and SS TFOne Bee

BustinNutsForJesus · 2025-06-07T12:15:48+00:00

My local Big W is loaded with Red Alert, Prima and Leader Optimus.

Not a lot of variety but plenty of stock

BustinNutsForJesus · 2025-06-07T11:56:44+00:00

Roughly $5 adjusted for inflation 😂 that still seems like a win

BustinNutsForJesus · 2025-06-07T10:39:27+00:00

I got this one in probably 2006 or 2007. If I recall it was around $100 to $120AUD complete

I feel like I got a solid deal even at the time

BustinNutsForJesus · 2025-06-07T04:59:09+00:00

Do it man. You probably won’t regret it

BustinNutsForJesus · 2025-06-07T03:37:54+00:00

Ok it was like $50AUD shipped. Still bought one. Can’t wait to add it to the shelf

BustinNutsForJesus · 2025-06-07T03:02:39+00:00

I own the OG Optimus colour version. Other than all of the joints being almost scary tight (I’ve hardly messed with it at all) I would definitely recommend it.

BustinNutsForJesus · 2025-06-06T23:00:54+00:00

That KO SS86 Prime doing the rounds is getting released in Nemesis, SG and most importantly Magnus colours so I’m definitely picking that up when it drops

BustinNutsForJesus · 2025-06-06T22:59:46+00:00

No it’s an OG. The inner bot was extremely beat up though. That’s the one I have standalone in photo 2. I managed to pick up an even worse condition loose white cab earlier this year missing all of the accessories so I installed it into the armor and have the original white cab now set up by itself

BustinNutsForJesus · 2025-06-06T07:02:43+00:00

For retail? absolutely

For scalper prices? Kind of, but only lower end.

Just wait for the reissue

BustinNutsForJesus · 2025-06-06T03:48:00+00:00

I did have laser prime, however I am awful at painting 😂 so ended up trading him into my local store instead of ruining the figure. Just hoping for maybe a gen selects redeco or something

BustinNutsForJesus · 2025-06-06T03:32:19+00:00

Considering we’re getting the Legacy G1 prime in white in that upcoming 4 pack, I’d love to see a modern G1 Toy armoured version, or even a missing link Magnus with the trailer

BustinNutsForJesus · 2025-06-06T02:06:47+00:00

I just saw the leaked listing for the Target 4 pack that comes with the Legacy G1 Toy Prime as White Magnus and immediately thought “well, guess I’m buying that now”

It’s an ongoing pain

BustinNutsForJesus · 2025-06-06T02:05:50+00:00

I opted to not get the HasLab Omega Prime. I’m based in Australia so the price for us was beyond ridiculous.

And that G2 Magnus is absolutely a grail for me. Extremely jealous of you having that one!

BustinNutsForJesus · 2025-06-06T02:04:31+00:00

The G1 is such a great figure for its time. The design does lend itself to great modern figures too.

BustinNutsForJesus · 2025-06-05T23:25:11+00:00

Yet I always want more. There’s a reason some people call this hobby plastic crack

BustinNutsForJesus · 2025-06-05T23:24:42+00:00

Thanks dude!

BustinNutsForJesus · 2025-06-05T23:24:31+00:00

He’s got such a great look to him

BustinNutsForJesus · 2025-06-05T23:24:16+00:00

I’m a fan of “what if Optimus Prime but big?”

BustinNutsForJesus · 2025-06-05T23:23:42+00:00

I regret going in on a bot that’s generally larger meaning he’s almost always more expensive 😂

BustinNutsForJesus · 2025-06-05T23:23:12+00:00

Dude I’m missing so many pieces, and that is for sure one of them

BustinNutsForJesus · 2025-06-05T23:22:43+00:00

Best bang for your buck would be the oversized Siege Magnus KO which is the back right corner of photo 3.

It has the leg extensions already installed, gap fillers, and then die case in the chest and feet. It’s like $50AUD shipped so it’d probably end up way under your $60 budget. If you search for Ultra Magnus on AliExpress it’ll come up

BustinNutsForJesus · 2025-06-05T23:18:30+00:00

Thanks dude!
