The Energon Pub

My wife has actually built up a decent-sized collection of her own, mostly comprised of fembots (hey, she's a girl so it's okay) and small, easy to transform figs such as legends and G1 minibots.

She actually has close to a complete G1 minibot collection these days. I know that there were a bunch of these figs released in various countries with different colors and different names. I know of Carrera, for example the Green Cliffjumper from Argentina.

What are fair prices for these, and does anyone know a good spot to pick them up other than looking through ebay? Also, is there a complete list anywhere of what was released and in what country? Also, I know in Argentia they redid the jumpstarters as Salt-Man Z and Rock-Man Z and redid Soundwave (I forget the name) in some pretty funky colors. Were there any other notable G1 toys like that released in different decos?

Oh THAT BB... Its actually very common, if you try hard enough... Hmm... lets see, try putting your yellow BB in the microwave and set it to around 10 minutes?

But really, i think it was Mexican and was a mix-up with CJ parts.

Nope, that actually turned out to come from Peru! Peru has released Mini-Bot repaints in up to 5 different colors, and that Peach color was one of them.

Does anyone know good outlets on these? I see a decent amount of MOSC Green Carreras on Ebay with some Volks mixed in here and there. What are fair prices?
