Lost Transformers

[Autocon]

it always amazes me to see figures from the 80s and 90s still around

wondering if there is a trasnformer that is near impossible to get?

not that it is expensive but simply coz noone bought it or had limited release but not exclusive =P

and if there are non left in the world how will one complete their collection?

Bumblejumper (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Bumper_(G1)) would be one.

[SofaMan]

The Japanese tape combiners seem to be another exceptionally scarce set.

[Omega Supreme]

There are loads of hard to get TF's but I think if you are prepared pay crazy prices, obtaining any Transformer is very possible.

Not to mention the Japanese Headmaster heads.

Them combiner cassettes are pretty tricky, but for me the hardest to find would be Battle Gaia & Guard City. Neither are exceptional - repaints of Bruticus & Defensor - but they're exceptionally rare. One could expect to pay $US1500+, if able to actually _find_ them!

Time Warrior? :P

thats going to be true in the next few years

what with some moulds being lost and the toy companies unwillingness to re release every previous tf toy ever released.

Im banking on peoples kindness to leave ME their tfs when they pass on :)

Time Warrior? :P
Autocon did specify "simply coz noone bought it or had limited release but not exclusive"... under that definition Time Warrior doesn't count cos he's a mail-away exclusive. 'sif I wouldn't have mentioned him if I could've! :p :D

That'd be the one. :) $2,765.81 for a repaint of Defensor! PHWOAR!!

Owtch! goodluck to him.

[d*r*j*]

that's a pretty bad repaint... looks kind of like some parts were boken and replaced with knock-off parts.

I think Fire Chief looks nice as a red fire engine... but the way they left the ladder base blue clashes badly with it IMO. The others look okay, I don't think they're any better or worse than the original Protectobots.
