There was a boxset of the Classics inner robots? Wow. Didn't know that.

[UltraPrimal]

How's this ...

Do I win a prize?

So, why do these guys get twice as many galleries? You gonna split the inner robots and shells up? Or are you gonna do their G2 or actionmaster versions too?

I'm doing the 4 Pretender versions and then the 4 single "Legends" versions from the Victory box set. Grimlock and Starscream's faces have paint variations from the U.S. versions. Just an excuse to give those guys their own galleries. I love these 4 toys. Lots of sentimental value with them. I even remember when I got them as a kid. That was a good day. Plus I loved the Simon Furman stories involving these characters. Classic stuff indeed.

Ah, so they're more variants than repaints. They look really cool. I want to pick them up already and I haven't even seen the gallery yet. They're probably as expensive as hell though.

More teaser pics ...

Wow. Seeing the Pretender Bumblebee in its box really takes me back. I still remember the day my mom got that for me at Kmart. Bumblebee was always my favorite G1 character but I hated how the original figure looked nothing like the show and the Goldbug throttlebot was even worse. To me the Pretender figure was perfect, at least back then.

I really look forward to checking out the full gallery. Great idea Seibertron.

Dammit, I was hoping it was going to finally be the Turbomaster Cars and predator Jets.

Not complaining about the pretender galleries though, I was not aware that you could get the inner robots by themselves, let alone in a 4 pack...

You'll be happy to know that they're on my short list. Had I been able to find which box I put Thunderclash and Skyquake in from when I moved last September, they'd be what I would've worked on this past week instead. I'll have to do some more digging through some of my boxes from when I moved. I'm not sure where they're at. I did finally find Stalker and Rotorstorm. I really need to put all of them in the same box so as to avoid this problem in the future.

I really want to finish up the galleries of my Dinobots but now that I'm a week or three away from receiving the rest of the WST Dinobots, I might as well wait so that I don't have to transform all of the Dinobots again for comparison galleries. I'm very excited about finally adding the Dinobots to the galleries on this website. They are a HUGE gaping hole in the galleries currently.

I can't figure out how I should do the Kmart Legends figures. I didn't open them because it didn't make sense too since I had the Victory Heroes set and the Pretender versions. However, I want the pics of the Kmart Legends MOSC to be in a gallery. Should I put those pics at the end of the galleries for the Victory Heroes as a bonus feature or should they be placed in the Pretender galleries or should they be listed separately? I'm leaning toward listing them separately and using the box art for their thumbnail image or putting them at the end of the Victory Heroes galleries so that people know that the images of the robot are from the giftset and not loose versions of the Kmart legends.

Ah ... confusion!!!

Count me as happy as Larry, and Larry is exceptionally happy.

Cant wait to see Rotorstorm in complete condition, mine had it's blades ripped off when lent to family members years ago, and I havent seen a good condition one on ebay in a verrrrry long time.

My MIB Rotorstorm that I got for $30 can be found here:

My buddy's Thunderclash can be found here:

I have a MIB version that I want to use to replace the gallery above.

As for Rotorstorm, just watch eBay. He shows up from time to time and for cheap, along with Stalker. I usually see them for $30 to $50 MIB or MISB.

I have Pretender of Starscream, Bumblebee, and Jazz. They were pretty
cool.

I think you should do pictures of the box set first, then the K-Mart exclusives, then the actual figure gallery. And just put notations saying something like, "Bumblebee was available as part of a gift set with Grimlock, Jazz, and Starscream in Japan."[gift set picture] "He was also sold seperately in the US as a K-Mart exclusive."[card picture]. And you may want to state the differences between the Pretender and "Pretender-less" version with the comparison photos.

If you want a complete Stalker I suggest checking out ebay.com.au, Stalker would easily make the top 5 "un-identified" transformers sold.

Lately though all I have found regarding Rotorstorm are ones in even worse condition than mine.

I have Stalker as well.

I have Stalker as well.

Great!

No collection is complete without a Stalker (or three)

[kirbenvost]

Awesome, those are the Pretenders, aren't they? Is that a vintage set? Hard to come by? I want them!
