Hard to say since he hardly ever appears on ebay. The last one I saw went pretty high at over US$100 and he was snapped in two! But that was a single auction, have not seen any before or since.Quote:

Could anybody tell me what the names are of the Transformers reference books that pertain to TF collecting and character (G1) model references please?
I know that one of the collecting ones has G1 Prime on the cover and one of the character model ones has Leozack's alt mode on it's cover, but I just can't think of their names. :mad::p
Any other publications that people would recommend would also be appreciated too. :)
In my opinion, Generations and the original Cybertronian guides are the best. I haven't read the Mark Bellomo guide but it looks okay too. A link to many of them can be found here: http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Category:Reference_textsQuote:

You can now get both Ark books in one combined volume: http://www.borders.com.au/book/compl...s-ark/1204187/Quote:

I want a Collecting Reference book like Generations so I can learn more about the figures we all love, like who came with what, who, when and why etc., but also so that I have an idea as to how broke I'll be in the future (looks at super rare Japanese awesomeness :p).
I know I can do alot of this online, hence OTCA :D, but I just think having a Hardcopy reference couldn't hurt either.
Hmm, I'll have to have a look at both sources, cheers again man.Quote:

Just like comics and G1 catalogues ( well for me these are)
I'll send you a PM, but as I'm looking toQuote:

Kup doesn't have any of them to spare, so Pyro is up for grabs...sort of.
Like I said, I'll PM you, but unless you're desperate you'll probably find it's better just to bide your time.
Hehe :D, Catalogues not so much for me but comics I wouldn't mind.Quote:

I wouldn't mind getting the Beastwars comics but I've no bloody idea where to start - individual issues or omnibus etc. :p
As long as you don't mind it being digest sized, get the omnibus: http://www.bookdepository.com/book/9...=9781600103902Quote:

I've generally found that having the book is a bad idea because I would go, okay, this month, I'm going to acquire all the Transformers on page XX. Next month, its page YY; and so on and so forth.Quote:

My question is what is the 'more common' hair colour?
I've never heard of this variant. Transformers Generations doesn't mention it (cos they do show the Waverider/Diver variation) and there's no mention of it on TFU.info, the TF variants page or TFwiki. Are you sure it's not due to difference in photography (e.g. lighting) or perhaps one has more pronounced photo-degradation (faded) than the other?
100% sure both are sitting here on my desk! I dont know how it could be fading on just the hair - the yellow on the bodies of the shells are exactly the same. :confused:Quote:

In the G1 Bluestreak instructions and catalogs show him with Grey / Silver
But the Diaclone box shows him with white, and the pic I have found on the internet from people who own one also show white.
So did he come with white or silver launchers? Need to know for my custom
Diaclone.net has him with white launchers and silver missiles.
Hi guys, first post I'm looking at collecting the movie transformers and giving them a custom paint over so there more movie accurate. Does anyone have a preferred online site for purchasing or are most happy to buy at local toy stores?
Local stores. :)
Robotkingdom.com is a pretty popular online store around here.Quote:

Yeah, a few times. Most packages arrive within a few weeks. One package took 12 weeks to show up (at my doorstep) - it was unregistered so I had already received a refund, eBay then refunded the seller. All international postage from Germany goes through a division of DHL, so it's a good idea to request registration.Quote:
