G1 Reissue Ultra Magnus & Metroplex (MISB Only)

[Vector Prime]

Hey All,

Back again with more reissues I'm chasing of G1 toys I had as a kid.

After Ultra Magnus & Metroplex this time - only seeking MISB.

So let me know if any of you guys have either one to offload for a decent price, otherwise I'll end up ordering them from RK and/or eBay.

Great to see you delving into the awesomeness that is G1 Anyway... as you were

Lol... yeah, just rekindling some of my childhood.

I received UM as a Xmas pressie from my aunt when I was 7 or 8.

And Dad got me Metroplex as a b'day gift when I was around the same age - still remember him taking me shopping for it ($59 from Big W Campsie if memory serves me)

Will you be keeping them sealed?

Think Encore version of Metroplex from RK is a good bet.

For UM:

Preliminary search- Damn!! I was looking for one of these a year back- couldn't even find one for a reasonable price...I think they are pretty scarce but I'm no expert though. If I had the cash I would consider this... but spent too much this month already...

Hmm I just noticed it is MIB Opened, but contents untouched?

But of course!

Yeah I'm hanging off on clicking the mouse and ordering the Encore one from RK - it's quite a good deal.

Yep, seen that one, I only want MISB, so will probably opt for the Hasbro Commemorative Re-issue (seen a few for about $90 shipped).

Just hoping someone locally has them and wants to offload them cheaply, but otherwise looks like I'll end up ordering them from o/s

HMmm... I highly advise AGAINST the Hasbro Reissue. I got it because I was impatient... it is so crap.
-Long missiles... are just bad.
-Shortened smokestacks...
-The cab silver lining has stickers (that peel and are bad quality) on instead of being painted. (Not sure how the Takara reissue v. compares here)

I know you are not going to open it.. but these factors make the hasbro version undesirable IMO- although the box looks ok. I would hunt a bit more first- if you can find that Takara reissue- but sealed.
