How much money do you have to spend? That's going to cost you a lot of cash to get all those.

And really, you only need two Red Tech decoders one to use, and one to keep as a spare (or even cheaper buy some red cellophane).

i have heaps of them.
never knew what they were

You should have bought that Million dollar auction that was on Ebay a couple of months back.

they're tech specs decoders. Up to 1988 G1 tech specs had all the stats "scrambled" that needed a transparent red piece of plastic called the Tech Specs Decoder(TM) to decode the information. A red piece of cellophane will do... or you could just look - they're not that hard to see through!

The Transformers Monopoly Chance and Community Chest cards on the other hand have been done a lot better in that it's really hard to read them without the decoder!

I reckon those Tech Spec decoder are one of the best novelty that could be included with a toy.... makes one go all excited! :)

[GoktimusPrime]

yeah but I don't know if they're worth collecting en masse! As Paulbot said, you only really need one or two. It seems that benben is insisting that the toy has the tech specs decoder in order for him to truly consider it "complete" - which is true if we're talking about "complete w/ all inserts"... but frankly I don't think it's worth paying extra prices for inserts - i.e.: tech specs decoder, catalogue, instruction booklet etc.; especially the 1984 catalogue which is hideously rare and I've heard goes for quite a sum. The only Hasbro G1 catalogue I don't have is the 1984 catalogue but I'd be happy to have just one copy of it.

[Paulbot]

I swapped with a classmate a doubled-up minibot (Pipes) for the 1984 catalogue way back in 1987 :)

[pheonix83]

hmm i think i may have an 84 catalog, have to check.

i know i have the later ones just cant quite remember.

got a draw full of transformers paperwork crap

[GoktimusPrime]

PM me if you want to part with that catalogue - will pay you in monies! :D

OH MY GOD!

Why didn't I find out about Robot Kingdom earlier? They have SOOOO many things I want! Urrghhh... See myself getting broke now..

Are they reliable? Have you bought from them before?

[Borgeman]

i bought with them on ebay once - i had to push hard for good postage as they were quoting me different to their site, but they were very good past that

Pity the newer tfs don't come with them, like the Masterpieces come with the stats on the back of that little card, but something fun like tech specks would be nice t5o have again.

[GoktimusPrime]

Japanese TFs come with tech specs cards! And Takara's Masterpieces come with kewl instruction booklets with funky photos of the toy! :D

Sense the difference in care factorage.
