Top left corner looks like the Autobot symbol. Bottom right corner looks like glare from the camera flash. Or an overhead light.

D-Max, which versions of Kranix are those?

Micron Booster volume 3. If you are talking about Unicron's mini, those are Bug General and Bug Drone

So jealous! I just relocated my Armada Unicron to easy access in storage (along with Cybertron Primus), only missing Dead End. :-(

I once toyed with the idea of filling Unicron's ring with Dead Ends with a slightly different one above the mouth :lol:

Anyway, the reason I came here is because I too, have a box...

... a beat up one I got on discount :-D

It is due to me collecting both Generations, Studio Series and now MP simultaneously :lol:

Had 3 packages arrive today. A fun thing is Sentinel is my original 2011 voyager that I sold last January and regretted. But I bought Megatron and Noble/Savage from the same guy I sold Sentinel to, and he sent him back since he is getting the new voyager! it feels good to have that regret sell back.

also, sadly the headmasters are KOs, but still pretty good KOs (they were marketed as real though)

You've been dropping some serious coin in the last couple of weeks, D-Max. :lol:

This is true, but I promise you I have spent far less than you might be thinking for these. Also, Tax return money, it went towards a fun hurrah to finish some collections

Which seller said those headmasters were real? Those headmasters are 300$ a piece or more so paying a lot less (which I assume is what you paid) would be an easy giveaway at their inauthenticity. Still not cool of the seller and you should report.

Ebay seller, and yeah I got them super cheap in individual auctions, I should've looked into KOs and their usual prices more, I didn't even know these had been KO-ed until after I bought them, and I was willing to believe they were real since they were listed as such and there have been 2 cases of expensive figures going for super cheap on ebay over the past couple months that I won or just lost, so it just seemed like another one of those cases

Selling things as "real" or "reissues" when they are KO is against eBay's rules. It's worth a case opening and worth a full refund.

I still feel the burn from the "G1 reissues" of Grimlock and Shockwave.
That's one more reason for me to REFUSE to buy any "brand new" G1 toys or Masterpieces on Ebay anymore. Especially when the seller is from China.

Funny thing is, this guy is from North Carolina, and he was selling a crap ton of G1 headmasters on auctions, which included the regular headmaster dudes like Brainstorm
