This is one of those situations where I feel the word "Pass" is most appropriate.

This.

28 Specs for $35 + S&H?
You can fit probably five or six of them on a sheet of photo paper, and that's what, $2 a sheet?

It's really not that bad. $1.25 a card. Look on eBay at the originals tech spec cards and you are spending anywhere from $0.20 to $4 more per card. Then these are enhanced quality, assumable to be printed on decent materials and laminated. I doubt they are making any money on this and they are saving you money on replacing the originals. Printing supplies are expensive, and making these yourself would be time consuming. Between man hours and supplies, I guarantee you it's cost you more in the end.

I've barely got a G1 collection, mostly consisting of reissues and a couple of vintage minibots so I've got no real interest in these, but they aren't a bad price at all.

Are there people who collect tech specs? The bios, stats and art are a google search away for anyone that wants them. I just can't see the demand.

I just got their first set. They are very nice, great quality and they're even laminated for durability.

This.

In continuing with their reproduction G1 Techspecs, Atomic laser has up for preorder volume 2 of the 1985 set.

This set is volume 2 in a two part set for year 1985. Digitally recreated from the ground up as new super clean high resolution artwork. The art has been fine tuned. Color matching ensures consistency throughout every card in the set. The "coding" on this set is done in the 1985 style.

This is intended a a neat clean pristine collection of cards to accompany the original '85 toys. Certain artwork, as seen in the pics below, has been edited to resemble the actual toy. Digitally remastered high resolution printing & laminated for longevity. Red decoder is included.

They have also posted on their facebook page a preview of sorts of the 1986 set. These are some art corrections.

If you just want to print out tech specs there's plenty available online.

Of course printing them all out on good quality paper and cutting them out yourself may make you wish you'd just bought them to begin with.

This is the stuff has/tak should be doing! So some one else has! (same with the high quality ko's)
