Since Shout factory released the headmaster set on dvd I have been stricken with a fever to find headmasters!!! Im not much of a G1 collector anymore but man these are some cool figures. While scanning ebay I came across this set

http://cgi.ebay.com/Transformers-Takara-G1-Rodimus-Prime-Chromedome-Junior-/350413667132?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5196483b3c

Look legit? Im not worried about the packaging, I plan on displaying any I get on a shelf anyway but this set seems fishy to me for some reason...

It's legit. THat's actually something I've been trying to track down for a while.

And that's a good price. I'd recommend you buy it.

Chromedome is a Headmaster Jr, but Rodimus is only a vinyl figure. Rare and obscure set.

Buy it and enjoy you lucky guy.

Im a little weary of ordering something from so far away but the price did seem nice which is why it caught my eye..I guess If im gonna start(actually restart) my HM collection why not go big right

Thanks for the info! 8-}

Yeah that is legit, I've also seen a package with G1 Optimus, Chromedome and Fortress Maximus Jr. in it, I almost bought it even. I should have, but decided not to.

It is legit, however, they're not the full-size toys, but rather the Transform Jr. toys. Transform Jr. (previously known as Transform Gokin) are simplified versions of larger toys, often eliminating one mode if the original toy had more than 2.

If you want the real Headmasters, the US versions are the same as the Japanese versions. The same goes for the smaller second series (known as the Headmaster Jr. in Masterforce), except for two: Nightbeat was repainted into Minerva and Siren into Goshooter (from a Fire Rescue vehicle to a Police car)
