Nah, I think he means the oversized "titan". It was $48 I think, but check the checklist as it includes prices (and this was a BigW exclusive).

Oh, I was hoping he was reduced since he's shelfwarming. Theres no price on him at the Big W I work at and I can't be bothered getting him down from the top shelf where nobody can reach him just to check the price. I'm interested, but not at full price.

Does anyone have copies of the couple of pages of Line Art Don Figueroa did for the proposed Beast Wars Dreamwave mini-series?

From memory, they show Primal and the crew inside the Ark shuttle on their way back to Cybertron. I can't find them anywhere online.

really random thought / question

i was thinking what is the most common G1 figure i have seen over the last few years still boxed and my overwhelming answer would be Jetfire/Skyfire.

Does everyone also share this view and does anyone have any thoughts or reasons why it seems to be the most common still boxed g1 figure?

@ Starscream77 - That wouldn't happen to be the one that keeps making an appearance at the Parra Fair would it? I think I've seen it there for the last 5 years.

The ones that I keep coming across would be the G1 Insecticons (no... not the KO's).

So you basically get all the better aspects of Ginrai, but Hasbro safety missiles. Looks like the regular trailer also has the slide out fists that PM Prime didn't have.

RK is selling the same toy, their photo just has the front book opening open to show the toy underneath.

Thank you Gents, I was thinking that was the case but wanted to make sure, these things with the encores, reissues, and such I don't keep super close tab on.

Now the question is, should I wait till they have a listing for a Takara version of generations skids before I put in an order?

do you mean MISB or "re-boxed" a lot of G1 stuff is completed and then put back in a box that may not be it's original, just to have a "MIB" version to keep or sell.

I've seen some MIB MISB action masters lately on eBay, but that's mostly because I've been looking for good examples of original versions of club toys.

I've seen a lot of Overlord in Boxes on eBay but I'm pretty confidant a lot of them have been collected into complete figures with a box from multiple sources.

There are a couple examples of boxed figures at the fair, but some are fakes (dinobots) and others are collated.

perhaps you're noticing Jetfires because you're interested in getting one and so it stands out to you more. Just like I noticed how many imprezas there were on the road after we bought our car a few years ago. :D

Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but I have these two saved on my computer from eons ago. Couldn't find anything on my HD that has Primal though :/

This was all I could find when doing a google search for "unreleased dreamwave art".
Not what was being asked for though.
