Since I store my G1 reissues in their packaging, this is probably more of an issue for me than it could be for those with shelves for display.Robert M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05720560445363454984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8236113499472054360.post-60154114965243148832021-09-29T20:37:13.990+01:002021-09-29T20:37:13.990+01:00Hard to find at a decent priceHard to find at a decent priceMeck5https://www.blogger.com/profile/07591436173712527455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8236113499472054360.post-80891112164080929012021-08-20T10:31:22.408+01:002021-08-20T10:31:22.408+01:00Hi,

In about 2000 you discover ebay and do that thing we've all done - getting the ones you didn't have in childhood.<br />You raid your parent's loft and find out the 'loads' you had as a kids was actually 16. You discover Jazz and Prowl book boxes on BBTS and order G1 TFs from America. It feels otherworldly.<br />You spend your student loan on a few choice pieces with no idea what you're doing. You buy RID and Armada. Then get a job that pays less than the loan...<br />You stop collecting, park your figures in your parent's loft for another 15 years. Then you meet your wife who thinks your collection is cool. You start collecting again, only this time you do your research. You discover first releases, variant moulds... You set a moderate goal - a complete set of '84-'86 Japanese originals. You sell your boxed Armadas and some RIDs. You stumble upon a blog post about a Thundercracker with hand-cut wings. You start following a bloke called Maz...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09089561118449799917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8236113499472054360.post-53676175104337604172021-04-18T02:09:58.635+01:002021-04-18T02:09:58.635+01:00Wow.

In other words - he's rather crap IF and only IF you want to transform him regularly. But given that you can still get him nowadays at clearance, he's actually quite cool!iRollerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12722720349972864577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8236113499472054360.post-29566710678281962772020-10-06T13:49:12.961+01:002020-10-06T13:49:12.961+01:00Hi.
