Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

Yep, Skywarp/Thundercracker is 11 & Metroplex is 12 and that's it so far (I wonder what number Fort Max will be... :))

Ok this might be a bit subjective. What colour is Sunstorm? Is he bright yellow, a warm yellow orange, orange or dark orange? It's hard to tell from pics online. Representations of both toys and comics. I'm thinking it's a warm yellow orange.

Your appraisal is fairly accuratey - he's primarily amber. I assume you're talking about e-Hobby Sunstorm. Other Sunstorms' shades of yellow may vary - the yellow on my Cybertron Legends Sunstorm appears brighter.

Thanks Gok, I thought he may have been brighter.

I was wondering if any of you long-time collectors could help me out :) - Thanking you in advance



Before the TFC range of G1 Reissues began in '00, Had the Ebay prices of original G1s just about reached astronomical heights?

WOw i never knew Binaltech could potentially become KO given their level of quality.

Does the price in ebay give a hint that the toy could be a KO, e.g a HK seller has them for $25 USD , i am unsure if thats the price they sell for.

Uh... what's your question bread?

First of all, TFC reissues came out in 2002, not 2000. Takara started doing G1 reissues in 2000, but they weren't part of the TFC line. I don't think G1 figures really became all too expensive until the movie came out - in my observation anyway. *shrug* In 2005 I decided to complete all the TF characters who appeared in G1 US cartoon seasons 1-3 as I figured they'd be the most popular and probably appreciate more compared to those who didn't appear in those seasons. I only had a small handful of toys to get, but I managed to complete that list by the end of 2005 with the exception of Sky Lynx (*huggles Encore*). I wouldn't consider these toys to be "astronomical" in 2005 and I honestly haven't looked on eBay for G1 TFs within that range since.

Thanks for that Goktimus :)

About me mixing up the Takara & TFC reissues :o, You can blame wikia for that

I know the Classics reissues in the early 90's would have filled some holes in people's collections but there was a 9 year-gap between the end of Classics & the first of Takara's reissues (so I assumed interest & wanting for more reissued G1s would have been high)

Serves you right for trusting a wiki(a)!
