Of course I've thought of it, but I'll never do it. Maybe one day down the road a proper one will be released.

I'll look forward to it. :P

I'm not really into the exclusive bragging thing...

I'd much rather just purchase official products.

Please pay no attention to the two KOs in my Skywarp collection. *cough*

The giant purple one is an oversized KO of the tiny SCF Skywarp/Starscream/Thundercracker. I think it cost me about $40, I'm not sure.

The conehead one? Do you mean the stubby one on the left?

He's a soapdish. =x He's actually an official product that was released in 1984, I got him quite cheap. $15.

Nah, he's been opened.

TBH, he looks good in his box even though he's been opened. And I really don't feel like dishing out the $1000 it would cost me for an AFA sealed '84 Skywarp.

Not gonna happen. There is a limit to my insanity.

There are only two things I want which might cost me a bit.

The red Skywarp Decoy and the Japanese SCF Skywarp. They are the only two I need to have every Skywarp ever made evar.

The red Decoy can go for about $40-$50, but the SCF Skywarp was limited to only 200 pieces so it is super rare. I would expect to have to pay a pretty penny to get my hands on it.

Yes, I check every day. :P There was a red decoy not too long ago... I was going to bid on it but I fell asleep. =x Still kicking myself for that one.

Yeah, I had an offer once to buy it when I first started collecting for $200, I turned it down because it was too much for a n00b like me. I wish I hadn't turned it down now though. It's pretty much impossible to find one.

I'm really starting to want that Ultra magnus upgrade set seeing as it flashed in my face everytime I come here. That leaves 2 questions 1 where's the best place to get one and 2 where can I get a classic ultra magnus to attach it to.

Trick question. The combined mode of Sideways' (or indeed Rapid Run's) Minicons never got a name of it's own.
