Way to go, dude. What's next on the agenda?

by **5kywarp** » Tue Nov 06, 2007 4:13 pm

Still haven't got Skywarp & Thundercracker Robot Masters so probably those. Just waiting for that elusive great eBay deal!

Don't be too picky, as they're no longer in production. Take any deal you can get.

Oh, you'll love Classics Skywarp. He is just so damn sleek and sharp-looking. They might have exaggerated the purple in him a bit, but IMO, he looks even better that way. My favorite of the Classics line.

I had to pay $40 and take an Ultra Magnus to get him, but it was worth it since I love Skywarp and that Prime mold is good enough to warrant having two around.

Now if they could ever get around to making a non-exclusive Thundercracker, say packaged with the inevitable Silverstreak repaint of the necessary Prowl mold that should come out in the Universe line.... :-?

Congrats you will love classic skywarp his face is so much better than classic starscream.

Awsome, im eventually going to go after the Classics Skywarp VS Magnus ( skywarp looks 100 times better then classics Starscream).. I must say the Classics toyline has alot of great looking figures to em

But a lil offtopic i was able to nab a Classics Astrotrain and classics Megatron so i can't wait for those to arrive

Do you think they're worth getting though? They look very cheap compared to the classics.

I have classics astrotrain, and he's okay. He is white, and does not look like he has as good of plastic as Ultra Magnus does. But he is still decent. His train mode sucks, but his shuttle and bot mode are pretty good. I like him.

I really like the Skywarp and Ultra Magnus 2-pack. Those two are simply great! Enjoy!

Oh yeah, you're going to love classics Skywarp. The only seeker I like better is Classics Thundercracker(Botcon).

Yeah, TC is the real gem of the bunch.

I know, it has to be my favorite seeker that is a Botcon only toy , why couldn't it have been Starscream :cry:

Thundercracker>Skywarp>Starscream :-P

I love those RM versions. In some ways, they are more accurate to the original G1 toys than the Classics versions. The transformation is nearly identical (without the part removal of the originals) and the colors are anime accurate. They are a little less substantial (thinner and shorter) than the Classics, but are not frail.

If you're not going to get the Botcon T-Cracker, using the RM seekers are more than suitable substitutes.

If you are a Skywarp nut like me, you'll get them simply because Skywarp is included.

True they're not as nice looking as the Classics, but they're not by any means frail, even though they are a little thin.

Oh and, sorry to all the Botcon people but Classics Skywarp !< Thundercracker. >=P

Well done! I bought mine out of a good old fashioned high street store for £14.99 a few months back. Classics Skywarp is AWESOME, and magnus is pretty cool too if you dont already have classics prime (which i dont...yet).

How much did you have to pay?

by **5kywarp** » Wed Nov 07, 2007 2:20 pm

I paid £20. They are averaging around £30 (inc postage) on eBay so not bad I thought.

by **ThunderZap** » Wed Nov 07, 2007 2:48 pm

i had to pay nzd 85 + nzd 10(postage) for my classics skywarp and magnus set...

but its worth every dollar i spent :grin:

I had chance after chance to get him at Target at normal price, then clearance priced, and passed them up.

I'll think of you next time I transform both my Magnuses and Skywarps.

Thanks a lot.

by **Bugbite** » Wed Nov 07, 2007 3:55 pm

Skywarp is my favorite Classics figure. The color scheme works great, I think you'll really like him. But if you have an extra 200 bucks get Thundercracker, he's GGGGRRRRREEEEEAAAAT!!

News Credits: 5 · by **Sledge** » Wed Nov 07, 2007 4:00 pm

For the money Classics TC costs, I'd need him to come with a busty blonde nymphmaniac who is hopelessly attracted to 30-year old toy collectors.

They are kind of cheap compared to Classics, but they are both fantastic toys. Get them while you can.
