Hey guys,

With the Parra Fair just around the corner, I was wondering if anyone would be willing to assist me in my sick fetish of collecting G1 boxes / cardbacks / catalogues / instructions. Ideally I would like to pick it up on the day however if you are not attending, I would be willing to arrange a separate meet.

I'm targeting anything from 1984 to 1986 (inclusive).

Basically name your price if you're willing to part with your cardboard / paper as long as it's C8 condition or better e.g. not ripped or torn, minimal flap crease (for boxes), nothing cut (tech specs and / or robot points) etc.

Any help would be appreciated :)

Anyone??? I'm offering cash here people :D

The one that I am most desperate for is G1 Sideswipe.

Got me tempted on letting go of my Sideswipe box...

Can't remember what condition it is in though.

I could think of something, but I don't think your missus would approve ;) :p

I need money, so I can bring it, plus any other to the fair. I'll go home and find out what boxes I feel I can let go and let you know what else I got.

Hey man just noticed your sig!

Transformerland has a number of cardbacks/instructions/boxes you might be keen on

http://www.transformerland.com/store/search3.php?Toytype=4

Many of them have been sitting in his inventory for some time, so I reckon you'll be able to negotiate a pretty good price if you buy in bulk

Good to see I'm not the only one collecting bits of cardboard on the otca forum :p

You have pretty strict criteria for your cardbacks though! Very very difficult to find many with minimal artwork lifted/torn off.

Thanks Whoopy :) I had no idea they sold cardbacks and boxes. You're right though, I am very fussy when it comes to the condition.

There's two left that I would love to own - Tracks and Soundwave. I know Goki has Soundwave but with the specs cut out :( I don't think he'd part with it anyway.

Speaking of cardbacks and boxes, I wonder whatever happened to my man 1AZRAEL1 ;) :p

I might have a couple that you could be interest in dude, but it's likely they're not in a condition you'd prefer or you've already got them. :o
I'll take some photos today or tomorrow and you can let me know your thoughts. ;):)

@Whoopy: I was in talks with Transformerland.com with regards to a whole tone of Beast Wars paperwork they had, both listed and unlisted, but they just stopped communication when I asked how much they were looking for the lot. :confused::(
A pity, as I was willing to spend quite a bit and purchase just as much. :o

Not to hijack the thread, but if 5FDP isn't interested in the spare G1 cardboard you guys have to offer or already has em I might be!

In regards to transformerland suddenly becoming quiet, I've had that before as well. I believe he has a full time job and just runs the tfland store on the side for a bit of extra cash. He also tends to disappear from time to time for reasons unbeknownst to me.

Best way to go about it - just place your order directly on the website and make an offer through there.

No worries my brother from another mother, take your time. I need time to scrap together some gold coins for you in exchange for the cardboard.

Thanks also Hursty :) That would be awesome if you could tell me what you have and are willing to part with.
