I went to a small shop and bought a bunch of them, this one has G1 Megatron on the package, lol

also, almost forgot to mention, when you open the packet, you'll get a really strong wiff of some nasty chemical smell,

also added Blastoff to my large scale Combaticon team,

group shot, the 2 larger ones broke

I agree with Scaleface, where did you get those? They are probably something a lot of s minicon collectors would love to have, or at least like to have.

Still love those giant combaticons too.

Just browsing E-Bay, and came across this(not really Transformer related though):

You don't think they literally tried to make a "Guntank" do ya? That is so RX-78. Interesting!

I thought it would be a "Damtank".

Even though the actual Guntank looks nothing like this, it just suits this toy

Correction. "Damtank" with a "Gun". As a homage to the "Gun-dam" nomenclature.

Should spend my next vacation in China.

Knockoff Classics Jetfire :grin:

There's also a yellow one, a blue one and another white one with different colour trim (which looks even cheaper quality)

and the others either have the battle helmet or the head is from the helmet mold.

kicking myself for not getting the blue one also,

Yes, take the KCR to LoWu/LuoHu and cross the border to ShenZhen then catch the train to GZ. very nice train too, goes 200km/hr. then in GZ take the subway to any marketplace, actually everywhere in China is shopping

Approximately how much time?

I think it's less than an hour from tsim sha tsui to lowu by kcr, then there's border crossing time say ~half hour, another half walking to train area, finding your way, buying ticket ..., then less than an hour train trip to gz.

Not bad. I'm gonna try that sometimes. I hope i don't get lost. I don't speak Cantonese.

What is quality like on this one at least? :-?

Fri Oct 05, 2007 10:20 am

From the look of the picture, i'd say, quality not bad. Maybe among the best KO quality available.

Fri Oct 05, 2007 10:59 am

Looks like he's a pretty solid KO of Classics Jetfire

Can we get any pictures of the yellow or blue ones? You know they could be CLassic versions of Deftwing and Fearswoop, the Autobot and Decepticon jet Lightformers/Trakkons.
