G1 Dinobots... Help!

[theheretic]

No problem guys. Thanks. I had some igear seekers ordered through tfsource but I'm trying to cancel them as I've changed my mind. I'd rather own real transformers, but I won't be disappointed if I can't cancel the order as they do look amazing. I'd prefer G1's or reissues though I think for the price. So wish me luck that I can atleast get store credit. And if I can then some suggestions on what you guys think would be good to get from their range of g1's, reissues and encores (or others if you think there's something really good)

I would say buy from ebay - prices or loose transformers has dropped over the last 3-4 months by quite a bit. After ROTF a single dino was going for around $80-$90 even over $100 now around $60-$70 can get you a good loose complete one. Exception is swoop he always goes for a bit more as his alot more prone to breakage.

If you do find one and your not sure ask the seller or ask for help on here with the auction link in the ebay or KO threads.

I dont have any pics on this pc im using now but I have comparison pics of all the KO's dinos and there are very slight differences in odd places. For example one of the lines in grimlocks mouth is a different!

Well if you could get store credit.... the Reissue Predaking and Reissue Piranahcon would be very nice to own, unless you've got them already

I've looked at those and they do look good. Only thing is the have 3 of the original g1 preds 100% complete... Should I pay more and get originals? Damn these decisions!

Oh and I got store credit. Woo Hoo!

It's up to you man.

If you got the funds consider....with the reissues you get the whole lot and able to form Predaking, but if you go for the original you get 3 original G1s no Predaking yet as you still have to hunt down the other 2 missing. Also, it's both official toys anyways so either way it's all up to you.

The reissue Predacons are also die-cast metal, whereas I'm guessing your G1 Predacons are full plastic (if you have the super rare die-cast G1 Preds, then definitely hang on to them!! ) You could do what liegeprime and I do with our variants... display them in different modes Or you could sell your G1s off, I'm sure you'll have no problem in finding buyers.

Yes, as Gok has said, I display multiples of the figure (G1) in variant modes For the combiners its one set individual bots, One set in combined mode, if Im lucky enough to get a third then Ill put em on alt mode for display. Hmm I didnt know the newer Predacons reissue was Diecast?! Well now, that explains for the price... and the gold on the new Predaking is soooo pretty and free from GPS!! The originals had yellow plastic rather than Gold I believe (this is what I have) But still its all up to you to decide theheretic , whichever is convenient and suits your taste.

I'm assuming the TF2010 Predaking reissue is die cast. I don't actually have that set myself (cos I already got the 2004 reissue).

They are, judging by the weight of my unopened box
