Yeah, all TFs from China have those stickers -- it's Hasbro China's legal blurb. No idea why they needed to make it so freakin' huge though. :rolleyes: I'm surprised to see it on a United toy though -- China's a Hasbro market, not TakaraTOMY. Looks like Hasbro China managed to get that toy in as a special import (much like what Hasbro Australia did for our market with Jetwing Optimus Prime and Masterpiece Ultra Magnus).

Rubbing alcohol?

A lot of American toy collectors use an oil-based cleaner called Goo Gone, but I've never seen it here. Mind you, I've never tried looking for it either -- check out your local hardware or automotive stores. Not sure if melamine cleaners would be too abrasive or not on a card...

Some more Animated goodness for ye olde shelf. :)

Eucalyptus oil worked wonders. Looks brand new. Many thanks for the tip UM.

On your 2nd picture
The little green box is G2 Megatron's (green tank in first pic) big light accessory fits in a slot in his big rail cannon and the gun next to it ( pointy looking one) is his hand gun. The black foot plate below it belongs to Gestalt Landcross (G1 Jap continuity) it's either Tacker or Tackle's accessory. The dual missle launcher next to the 2 Predaking guns belong to micromaster Groundshaker's ATV vehicle/platform. Hope this helps. Sorry for the lack of pics or link Im not good at it :p

Awesome haul there! luv em minicons...the A10 is a minicon charater on his own. he belongs to a 3 pack group (clear skies or something like that)- a Minicon Patrol if you will.:)

The TF Prime starscream/bbtwo pack bought solely so first edition bb could have two cannons and so i could havea TF Prime "Slipstream"
the Target at Carindale had no TF PRime CYberverse commanders so i just bought the damn things from toyworld. I would take pics but i'm back from my first shift a restaurant whose opening day was free to the public.

Nice idea TB, if I could find the two pack anywhere near me, Id consider the screamer figure there the prolly the same then - it has a different paint scheme to the single Voyager version does it? When you get the chance though can you post up comparison pics please. Thanks.:)

As for me Thanks to Gok for getting me a Cyberverse Commander BUlkhead - yaaaay now all my littluns are complete until the next wave arrives for collecting - cute toy but I dont get the clear plastics on the chest - it doesnt need it at all.

G2 Megatron. Spiffy. Had one of those when I was a kid. Shot missles exceptionally far for a toy.

So after me thinking I'll leave the Prime series alone, I have started caving badly, bought the Bee vs. Screamer 2 pack just to get the skywarpy figure.

Paint on mine aint great, but its fixable.
