Congratulations TJ, they both look rather excellent with their new stickers; Thanks very much for posting the comparisons but also for contributing dude. ;):cool:
I hope to be able to add more in the not too distant future myself. :)

Great job! New stickers do bring what would otherwise look like a worn toy back to life.

I didn't even know there was a die cast version of kup:eek:.
Imagine bouncing that one off you little brothers head.
I have to find one!!

Hmmm I for one am the opposite GRock, I always though Kup had Die cast.... was there a non die cast version? :confused:

I think it's the wheels that come in Plastic and metal.

..just to clarify;this is the metal (rear) and rubber (front) wheel version of Kup.i am sure the 3 versions of G1 Kup (also plastic wheel and target master versions) have die cast for the robot chest..sorry for any confusion! :o

I'm probably getting mixed up. I'll have to dig mine out and see exactly what i have.

Scourge looks brilliant btw. I have a spare set of stickers myself so am looking for a scourge similar to the one you fixed up. Great job

after picking up a nice PCP the other week he was quite naked when it came to his stickers, so i thought i will try the reprolabels for this guy and see how they turn out

Before on the Left - After on the Right

There was a tiny defect in one of the leg stickers on counterpunch but you really dont notice it unless you look for it. for my first reprolabel venture it is a massie improvement from the naked PCP he was! it is amazing what some stickers doo!

Very nice Sharky. I also repro'd my Punch / Counterpunch. Placing the stickers on the inside of his legs were an absolute pain.

tell me about it.. after the first attempt i went and found the tweezers... much simpler.


i have decided that my recently acquired TM Cyclonus will be getting a new set of threads!!

The difference in these before after pictures is brilliant, I've always considered reprolabels but now after seeing the massive difference I think I'll be looking into some.

Congrats Sharky!, PCP looks absolutely brilliant with those repro stickers! :eek::cool:

OKay So I got me a bunch of Reprolabels a while back and finally found time to stick em in the past 3 days:) Thanks to Ultramarginal's mention of using Eucalyptus oil to easily remove the old stickers , the job has become a breeze, a little soaking and it peels off easy as! :D

:eek: Wow, that would've taken you all weekend :eek:

Which is why Im soooo glad that the eucalyptus oil technique works like a charm. Just a dab to soak the stickies a bit and it comes off after a few minutes. Leaves no residue although leaves your Tfs eucalyptusy smelling LOL:D, it's not so strong kinda fresh actually.:):)

Top bloody work Liege; Excellent results and photos mate, thank you very much for sharing these with us - I really should stop making excuses and acquire some more ReproLabels for my own figures. :D:cool:

Reading through this thread, it seems a lot of collectors (myself included) are turning to reprolabels or similar to enhance, bring new life and\or improve a purchased transformer toy that is missing or has damaged stickers\labels. This is a win win for all involved no doubt...but my question is this:

Would you be detracted from purchasing a G1 transformer that has had repro labels already attached?

Here's an example of what I'm asking with more questions...

Lets say we had two G1 toys of the same character/era up for sale with similar condition to chrome plastic rubber etc. One has original but worn or crooked stickers, the other has had most or all of the original stickers replaced with repro stickers...

Which would you buy if they were similarly priced?

Do you guys think a toy with repro stickers is as valuable as a toy with no stickers or damaged stickers or would you say a toy that has repro stickers is now more valuable than the later?

Thanks in advance guys...I'd be interested to hear your comments.

Id go for the once with better stickers, it's the same toy, yes. BUt, if the other had better stickies already applied ... then that takes a load of work of me so Id go for that :). See, even if I ended up with the other one with the dilapidated stickers, I'm going to purchase reprolabels for it one day anyhow, so in the end it's cheaper to get one with stickies applied already - less work for me applying it and less spending buying the stickers, less wait to :p.


Value nowadays is so dependent on who's the target market. Although there are figures which are indeed going to stay up due to rarity and all that but it's subjective and depends on how much a person is willing to pay to get the item. IMO though a 1984 figure, be it with repro stickers is just as valuable as a naked one. Of course sellers usually add a bit more to the price to recoup their purchase of the stickers. but between a naked toy and a reproed one, Id go for the reproed - for reasons stated above. Of course if the repro stickies were applied wrongly:mad::mad::mad: ( id be cursing the one who applied them wrongly but not so loud:p coz I'd have to redo them)

For me, I wont mind if a figure has had reprolabels applied so long as I can get a guaranteed assurance that the figure itself isn't a fake; If I were to sell a figure that had Reprolabels applied, you can damn well bet that I'd disclose such a detail. ;):)

Pretty much what liege and Hursti said. Resale value is neither here nor there for me as I don't plan on selling any of my collection.

Yep, I agree with Liege, Hursti and 5FDP.

As long as I am sure the figure is legit, the state of the stickers is not an issue. I can just replace them with Repro stickers later if i choose. Lately I haven't, but I will soon do a big order of stickers.

I can definitely see how having them already applied for you could add more appeal especially if you would of done it yourself anyway :cool:

Thanks for your response...I know I'd like to know if it had original or repro stickers before I committed to the buy...and unless you have the toy in your hand sometimes it can be hard to tell from photos. Honesty from the seller is very important :)

Yeah I wouldn't sell my bots that I had invested money and time to get repro stickers for either unless i got an upgraded toy with original stickers...then I'd want to offload my repro labeled double. So I'm wondering if you would buy a transformer with repro labels? Assuming you were in the market for that particular character...

As long as the stickers were applied carefully I wouldn't mind that it had repros. Many of the original Transformers had foil stickers which would over time peel and fold all by themselves so I would prefer to replace them altogether rather than use 'other means' e.g. sticky tape, to improve the look of the toy.

Issues with 3rd party sellers online, as well as any online retailer, are well documented. Lost orders, broken products that are not replaced, exorbitant shipping costs, scalper pricing. I wanted to report some experiences I've had with the Reprolabels crew.

A couple of months ago, I ordered some stickers, specifically for Generations Blurr. The sticker sheet was not cut too well, and several stickers tore when I removed them from the backing. I emailed Reprolabels (politely) about it. Within 24 hours, I had an email acknowledging the issue and promising to rectify it. By this stage I had another order in with them, so they sent a replacement sheet for Blurr with that order.

On another occasion, I only received one of a 2-part sheet. They again apologised and rectified the issue immediately, shipping the correct order out to me at their own cost.

In my experience, they genuinely take customer service seriously. That kind of thing Is not as common as it should be. They don't always get things perfect, but they acknowledge it, apologise for it and fix it immediately. Kudos to them. I'm a customer for life, and I can't recommend them highly enough.

Well worth it. In my opinion, they are a value adder to any TF, provided if you onsell anything, it's clearly disclosed.

Thanks for sharing M-bot, it's stories like these that keeps ones faith up in a 3rd party business. I have never had any issues so far with them and with the cheap as postage I certainly can't complain. Haven't lost any order and considering that this is with "canada" post, amazingly it arrives within the 2 week period un like some horror stories concerning said postal system.:D

It's a big set, 4 sheets, and adds a good amount of detail to Sounwave without being too obtrusive. I forgot to mention there are 2 more cassette covers included in the set, to satisfy both sides of the RIRFIB/RIBFIR debate.

Those inserts definitely do make the boring clear plastic really stand out. I'm not to fussed on the stickers for Soundwave, but I really like what they've done for the cassette covers and will consider getting them at some point. :D

Reprolabels is offering a MP Wheeljack set of labels for just 1 cent :cool:

I added it to the cart and it looks like you don't need to buy anything else so with shipping your looking at just US $3.01.

http://reprolabels.com/index.php

I would highly recommend looking through their inventory however as they definitely have some nice sets that will really enhance you TF's :D

Wow I remember buying from these guys when they first started up. There was no paypal back then and international bank cheques or western union money orders were too expensive for small purchases. I used to goto the bank and buy US cash and tape it up in cardboard (so it wasn't so conspicuous :p) and send it off to Aaron. Thankfully the money always got there and a few weeks later I got my stickers :) Ah the good ol days ;)
