My birthday is coming up and I usually get around 150 bucks what would be some good G1 figures to get?

Some of the one I was thinking about were:
(all loose)
Pounce and Wingspan
Jazz
Magatron
Snapdragon
and Computron Hands, Feet and Chestplate
or if anyone knows of another figure that would be cool to have.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

What's wrong with Megatron?

G1 Megs doesn't look that good (in my opinion http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Image:G1Megatron_toy.jpg

i say go with the clones

Now me, I'm of the opposite opinion. I love G1 Megatron. He's the toy that got me back into Transformers =D

Jazz is alright, standard G1 car-bot fare. Nothing special really.

they all sound great, but for $150, i wouldnt choose jazz. i think the clnes would be your best bet(besides megatron).

I'm going to try to get a couple of G1's. Hopefully I can get a good deal. I never had a G1 megatron and was thinking of just getting the Encore. I also would like to get a Galavtron but I have always hated his colors.

Try finding the E-Hobby Galvatron on e-bay. He has the grey color scheme that the original Glavatron toy from back in the day had. That would be worht some of your $150. Then I'd say try getting the Decepticon clones in as good of condition as you can afford.

If you decide on Megatron I would suggest the encore version.
I NICE complete loose Original could easily cost you $100-$150 bucks, and then there's the question of it being 100% original.
Here is a must have, if you don't already have them
G1 Grimlock or Swoop,
or any of the dinobots for that matter.

I like the colors on the e-hobby figure. But if I'm buying any of the e-hobby figures I would get the minibot set (I really want the Bugbite figure outta there)

I have the Dinobots, they where some of the first ones I bought when I got back into the hobby.

If that is the case then you probably already truly know what you want. The E-Hobby sets of the Minibots and Galvatron.

I never know what I want, I'm weird like that, but thanks for the help anyway. I like hearing what other figures people like, maybe someone will point out a cool figure I have'nt seen yet.
So keep'em coming.
