Looking for high quality G1 pamphlet scans.

Hello,

I am looking for some high quality, like 600dpi pamhlets from the G1 Transformers.Something at least 300dpi,so that it can be zoomed in on. I use to gaze lovingly at those pamphlets for hours as a kid. I wanted to print a couple and post them in my office. Specifically, I am hoping to get the pamphlets from 1984,1985 (this one I need most), 1986, 1987, 1988 and 1989.

Ive found a few here
http://www.unicron.us/tf1988/

but unfortunately, nothing is large enough for me. I can provide an e-mail address in PM if needed.

Also, I am looking for a Flier, any size scan will do, but bigger is better (at this point I just want to find the thing). It was this mail order hasbro direct pamphlets that advertised old TFs like G1 Megatron and Optimus. It had something like "Rodimus Prime remembers the greatest battle on Earth..." I'm not sure what this is called, but I sure would love to see this again.

Thanks so much for any help
W

Well the ones at Unicron.com are probably the best I know of out there. There's probably a hardcore G1 Collector on the boards, so they'll come by soon!

Meh forget scans. Get the real thing. Nothing like it. I picked up all of the 80s ones for like max 5 bucks a piece.

Well I want to look at them frequently. I had the real thing, but they deteriorated with age. If I get a large scan I can photoshop it and make it look new.

Thanks, but no I am looking for much higher quality. The files themselves should be at least 3 megabytes, mabye a bit lower or higher. If anyone can help me out with this, it would be great, honestly.

Thanks

Ok, here you go. These are pretty huge, you might want to right-click the links and do a Save As instead of viewing in your browser. The scans are 11MB and 17MB, scanned at 300dpi which should be more than enough for printing. I had to scan them in pieces so they are put together the best I could, and it still has the vintage crease marks of my original pamphlet :D

Hope these work for you, it's always fun to pull this out and take a look for old time's sake.

Thanks so much. These are exactly the quality I am looking for. I am going to photoshop these up, remove the fold lines etc and make them look better than new.

I hate to ask though, and if its too much trouble don't worry about it. The autobot one is cut off on the far left side, cutting off some of the words and the decepticon one on the far right. Would you be able to scan these sections again ? I don't really need the whole pamphlet, as I can cut and paste on the missing section. Again if its too much trouble please don't worry. I wouldn't care usually, but since its going to be a display piece I want to make it look its best.

btw if anyone else has the 1986 and the 1987 ones Id be really grateful. I am also looking for the 1984 and the digital doom flier. I will be happy to post my photoshopped work of them, Ive already started on the first and trust me they look amazing.

Thanks again!
Wordsworth
