What is the Best?

What is the best Optimus Prime, Megatron, Soundwave & Shockwave to go with your collection of classic/deluxe/universe transformers?

Machine Wars for all!

Yeah and they say you could not get G1 Megatron in NSW (I got my one in QLD in 85) BUT I still remember the shock of seeing about 7 of them at Casey's Toyworld at Erina NSW in 87. God I wish I had some cash that day.

Megatron was distributed to a few retail outlets in NSW before Hasbro quickly stopped distributing the toys when they became prohibited... I remember my mum telling me that she'd read about it in a newspaper article... I think she said that there was a product recall too, but not too sure about that. I only knew one kid growing up who had a G1 Megatron and he'd purchased it from Victoria which prohibited the toy substantially later than NSW. I remember a lot of kids at school saying that VIC was the place to get Megatron after NSW pulled them off shelves.

I guess it's possible that Hasbro may not have bothered pursuing a small toy store in a relatively small regional township for a product recall <shrug>

Machine Wars for all!

Especially Megatron... "Aren't you a little short for a Stormtrooper?"

Music Label Soundwave guys, not DL or Device Label!

Ignore the big bloke on the left, this is Music Label Soundwave with a set of Custom ReproLabel stickers applied.
