Welcome to the site. :twisted:

SEIBERTRON CONTAINS NUTS!! :twisted:

Enjoy your stay. As to your quest for MISB TF's, I would go w/Ebay first, even though MISB TF's can be quite expensive. And, just for future reference, if you're looking for merchandise, this would go in the Buy/Sell/Trade Forum. But I'll let the Mods do their Modding & let 'em move it when they come across this.

*edit* lol, Redimus & I posted about the same time, so you got the same thing from both of us. No big deal.

Firstly, Welcome to Seibertron.

Warning! Seibertron contains nuts!

And now, on to business.

Onsite, your best bet would be to look at the Buy/Sale/Trade Forum (Carbombya).
If you have no luck there, maybe ebay, or one of the verious online shops will be able to help you out.

Of the ones you've listed, only Targetmaster Hot Rod has been reissued (in Japan, the US version was without tm), and Mirage sadly will probably never be reissued, due to the origanal mold being beyond repair.

EDIT.

Damn, beaten to it!

Damn! You & I edited at the same time too! What are the chances? heheheh..............

And thus it was revealed that Decepticlone Soundwave and Redimus were really twins with a psychic link, and had been separated at birth.

P.S. Welcome!

And I agree, eBay is the best bet, good luck with the hunt.

If he is my twin... he has my condolences...

Thanks guys..

I actually have been an ebay user for a several years now and have gotten some good vintage TFs from there. I do have a good (although not a very big) collection of vintage G1 MISB Transformers.

I've been looking to get an MISB Targetmaster Crosshairs for some time now and still haven't gotten any luck yet.

Welcome to Seibertron!
You can never excercise enough caution when purchasing sealed G1 Tfs from unknown dealers, so be careful first and foremost.
I don't know if you know of Final Frontier out in L.A. or the california area. They have an amazing selection of selaed G1 though they are very expensive. They have a couple unused Mirage's, but not sealed. I don't see any of the others you're looking for but I'd keep checking or contact them. They are Legit and are professional. I bought a sealed G1 Prime form them years ago.
here's a link to the Tf section
http://www.finalfrontiertoys.com/Home%2 ... ersMIB.htm
Also it might be worth it to contact Curt at Tfsource.
In his Collection pics at http://www.Tfsource.com he has many you are looking for. He is quite friendly and provided me with much info on buying Transformers.
Another place is http://www.planetforce.com

Any way, hope this helps.

Thanks...Final Frontier's defintely got some good stuff, but just like you mentioned, it sure is expensive. I've actually tried contacting TFSource...they have a MISB Targetmaster Hot Rod but aren't willing to sell it unless I offered a price they can't refuse.

eBay has been pretty good, but it's still tough to find certain pieces still.

Again, thanks for the help.

Which one is Tomax and which one is Xamot (That's an old GI Joe reference for those not knowing).

Whose got the facial scar? Let's punch one and see if the other feels it...

BTW Welcome to you and I hope you have luck in your search. Any MISB items will be expensive...unless you happen upon an estate sale or something.
