Yeah, I didn't bother with most of the Hasbro reissues. Chrome-less weapons and missiles put me off a bit.

I do have Tracks (Hasbro reissue) cause there is no difference between that and the TFCC one or the original G1 release.

Yeah, some of the Hasbro reissues are okay -- pretty much the ones that didn't originally have chrome. :p But also the later ones where they decided to newter the launchers instead of making oversized missiles; a far nicer compromise. :)

I got Hasbro reissue Silverstreak, but I grabbed one spare chrome missile from my TFC Smokescreen and one spare chrome missile from my silver chromed e-Hobby Bluestreak.

I have one, but I got it for free (I won it from e-Hobby as a draw prize when I purchased Megaplex!). These chromed variants are a neat novelty, but I wouldn't pay for one. Just out of curiosity how much are they going for atm?

Btw only Hasbro uses the name "Silverstreak." Takara has always called him "Bluestreak." Well, they call him "Streak" which was what Bluestreak was always called in Japan (like Optimus Prime = Convoy). So effectively the Japanese version's name translates as "Bluestreak." :) Although Silverstreak makes more sense when you think about it. :p DI-A-CLONNNNNNE!

Just the missle launchers arent neutered in the original. The newer released ones have no spring in the launchers, but with the missles being so easily lost ( and puny) I too certainly dont mind.:D. Good luck with the search 5FDP, hope you complete them carbots soon:).

The average price seems to hover around the US$100 - 120 mark. You're lucky you scored one for free.

Thanks liege :) I think I have located one but I won't know until Tuesday afternoon *fingers crossed*

Just to update, I have found and successfully won an EHobby Anime Bluestreak today. I paid waaaay too much for it, but considering it was my last '84 Autobot car, it somehow makes it worth it. I'll post pics when I receive it.

Thanks to all that offered to help :)

congrats!

Thanks heroic_decepticon :)

A day after winning the auction, I receive an email from the search alerts I setup in Ebay stating that a "Transformers e-Hobby Reissue Bluestreak Silverstreak 08" for a BIN price of US $64.99 was just listed :eek::eek::eek:

This is less than a third of what I just paid for one :mad:

Almost ready to smash the carp out of my laptop, I looked into the auction. It is described as MIB however in C8 condition with "slight chrome wear" :confused::confused:

My anger has now subsided replaced with relief.

I got to unsubscribe from those email alerts...
