For Gadep? Yes, that's not a bad price. Was that before postage or afterwards?Quote:

What's the cheapest shipped price anybody has got Encore Bruticus for?
I paid about $105 for mine all up.
I have a G1 snaptrap and when you push down the arms the hands extend, but when you push up the arms are they suppose to retract because when I push the for-arm back up, the fist don't retract by them selves.
I paid $110.85 for mine.Quote:

any1 else brought JRX and got burnt? I just brought another JRX when stock @ toyarena indicated they were getting low.
so im playing with it and one side the joints are stiff while the other is fine, but im missing a tech spec card c-13, :mad: my money!!!!! Should i spam attack toyarena on ebay or what should i do
Is your JRX in a Korean box? The tech spec cards in the Korean releases are a bit random IIRC.Quote:

Unless you forgot to mention something else, it doesn't seem like anyone's really been 'burned' and it hardly warrants an attack on the seller (particularly when the fault was almost certainly Sonokong's, not the seller's.) Try to be happy - you've bought a fantastic gestalt (in my opinion, probably the best in Transformers' 25-year history), and the Sonokong version is leagues better than Hasbro's. :)Quote:

How many books are out there though?
3rd one is just being released now :)Quote:

Does anyone knows whether Takara E-hobby C-78B Hot Rod comes with a tech spec card? I couldn't find any info on the internet regarding the contents of it, thanks in advance!
I can't speak for Black Hot Rod, but my Ghost Starscream came with a sort of "transparent" blue tech spec card. Most e-Hobby toys do come with their own tech spec card, and as far as I know, all of the pre-encore cards were unique to the e-Hobby toy. That's the case for all of my e-Hobby toys. My encore-era Green Ratchet has a regular Encore Ratchet card.
Thanks for that! I was very close to purchasing one recently just for the tech spec card and now that I know I'm not gonna bother :DQuote:

Reference
That's wiki image is not accurate. The image of a 'biocard' is actually taken off the packaging. Both sides of the 'biocard' is actually pictured on the back of the packaging, over the battle-scene (you would have to cut out both from the packaging, and glue together to make up the biocard). And since the entire packaging is B&W, the 'biocard' is also B&W.
Are there any Transformers that glow in the dark? I know CatSCAN does, but are there any others?
Also, is the Animated AllSpark Almanac out here yet?
YesQuote:

The first 1984 Frenzy had metal feet, silver weapons and came from Japan. 1986 Frenzy had plastic feet, gold weapons and came from Macau.Quote:

Main reason I am asking is because I am curious about how the Autobots (of the Japanese version) got their "Athenia" base. Hope I'm making sense.... thanks!
Pretty much, yes. There are a few minor discrepancies, such as RIRFIB (whereas the US cartoon is notoriously FIRRIB) and season 3 occurs in 2005/6 whereas in Japanese continuity it occurs in 2010. Oh yeah, Scramble City. But otherwise it's the same. :)Quote:

Just wondering if anyone knew where I could find a Palisades Shockwave Statue and a Wheeljack one also?
Thanks in advance!
Thanks to Gok and Paulbot for your responses, they are very informative.
What does RIRFIB stand for? :)

Q: Is there any significant reason - e.g. back story/history- as to why the Alternity Megs and Op comes in 3 variant colors? oh and is it just colors that varied - same vehicle type/class/model?
