I guess you could get away with the alt mode, but the robot modes' mold differences dont sit well with me personally ie Heads, lower body kibble.Quote:

Yeah. eBay is basically where people buy stuff then sell them for MUCH higher prices and then the prices gradually go up and up.
That's why I like online stores that little bit better.
Sometimes on eBay, you can find a couple bogans that give you complete bargains.
Even bidding gets outrageous.
Some lesser known retailers probably still have one of the two, you just have to look hard. :cool:
You could always take off the leg kibble off the ball joint and stick on the legs and just get someone to get you a head from MP TC.;)Quote:

But the kibble on skywarp would extend past his knees. Just lose them altogether.Quote:

Yeah, probably just lose the kibble altogether. That's what I'd do.;)
You could repaint the eyes as well, if you want them to match ever so slightly more.:cool::D
Thats what i do with the old mold. The new ones i keep on a seperate shelf. Thats my OCD kicking in :p

That's not too bad though.:o;)
Personally, I think it's fine and I quite like that all three seekers have a slightly different look to them. Here's a picture of my three together.Quote:

Seriously... I was eating a bowl of muesli (low joule late night snack :p) while I read your post, and I literally dribbled some soy milk out my mouth and down my front! Just finished wiping myself clean with tissue paper! :eek:Quote:

I'm actually somewhat surprised that Optimus Prime has inflated so badly (or well from a seller's POV :rolleyes:). The original G1 Optimus Prime has got to be the single most reissued toy ever... you'd think with both Hasbro and Takara/TOMY having pumped so many of them into the market that it'd put relieve inflationary pressure on the aftermarket price of this figure. I guess the aftermarket demand for this figure just must be that high... which is kinda odd, because I don't recall any of these toys necessarily flying off shelves when they were out.
