It's stunning. I'm in tears. Grown man tears.

Grandus! My kidney for a Grandus!

DAMN YOU RhA!!!

You made me buy a Star Convoy!
The 2005 reissue, that is. The packaging of the original G1 is glorious! Will you open yours? Because I sure will open mine!

I've got the reissue as well and they're a bit different. The 1991 version has white instead of silver and plain yellow instead of the gold on the reissue. Oddly, Hot Rod does have blingy gold on the original.
I planned on selling the reissue, but looking at the differences, I'm not so sure.

If your original G1 is sealed, keep it that way.
Don't sell your reissue. If it's not open already, open it, apply the stickers, and go PEW PEW PEW!

No, I'm not a huge fan of G1. But like you, I go for the characters I care about and I go for thoses who are CHEAP.

My Star Convoy, reissue, free shipping, 2 more vailable:

G1 Ratchet, who inexplicably DOUBLED it's price since I last bought it:

G1 Skids, one that I wanted for a long time since I got the Alternator:
(Also, the price increased by 5$ since I bought it.)

Maybe for both Japtou toys, they only have one left so the sale is over after months and months?

Is it possible to check the difference between the front part of "Roller's cab" from the re-ssue and original? Also, be careful of rubber rot.

He sort of got one in the Tomy version. That one came with the wings.

The box wasn't sealed, so I checked the interior. I neglected to detach roller, though. I'll check it out this afternoon. The rubber is still nearly flawless.

Rha, okay, this might be asking too much, can we have images of Roller? I've been looking for one to compare the difference between the re-issue. And......congrats on the find (good that the rubber treads are still good.)

Nothing fancy. Much appreciated when you got the time.

Anyway, what I'm after is to see if the "cab" details of the big@ss Roller have been highligthed or decaled.

shajaki was quite fortunate today...

SWEET Jak!
Did you find him in store, or did he fly in through the mail slot?
And where did you get that awesome and appropriate blaster?
I'm tellin' ya, he is the Off Road of of the Voyager class.
Kinda steals the show in my opinion.

I nabbed him from a local Sam Walton Shoppe. And I so heart Cyc

As for the guns... once upon a time KFC released this guy:

See his handsome guns? Well KFC must have realized the guns were appealing on their own, so they decided to sell them separately!

Speaking of hauls and shajaki...
Thanks to the man himself, I am now the proud owner of this little BIG BOY.

He crossed the boarder safe and sound, and hassle (duty) free. And got here in a jiffy too. :shock:

Thanks CHAMP!

ALL HAIL THE KING!
if you get my double meaning there.

3 p products have their own haul thread in their own forum : http://www.seibertron.com/energonpub/unofficial-transformers-3rd-party-ko-toy-haul-thread-t89840.php

That's where I reported my Apollyon in full.

This thread should only be for actual Transformers products as it is in the Transformers (CR) forum. If you believe a post does not belong here, please report it.
