... I would have waited an eternity for these...

Guard City is okay. It's nice in some ways and weird in other ways. I really want it more because its one of the last G1 combiners ever released and also because its a very nice giftset box with nice box art!

That too. I really can't be assed about BB and BS because the asking prices are just stupid. I come across them a lot, both on auction and privately, but really not impressed with the price. So, won't buy them till the prices go lower, or not at all... hmmm... not sure.

Yeah I want Guard City because it is a nice giftset box but again Im not going to pay lots on money for some of the toys to be yellowed.

And I agree with your comments regarding BB and BS. Too expensive and half the time they are in crap condition for the prices that they ask for ($700US for a BB with damaged foam/box and its been played with.....stuff that).

Yellowed Guard City is just not on. All 4 of its limbs are supposed to be predominantly white. If any are yellowed, it'd suck majorly.

Yeah, there are lots of crap BB and BS out there and people are just trying to milk these. Not really interested to pay that much for these. I think US$450 to 500 is about the range that'd make me buy, but otherwise, we'll see...

Blue Bacchus & Black Shadow.

Collective Dino-cassette shots (I think these are awesome, but that's just me...)

All 4 MIB dino-cassettes / Out of box with contents laid out




In their inserts and bio cards. Man I love this shot. But like Hursti said earlier, its a pity these are plastic inserts and not styro.


Combined forms and with Blaster and Twincast (see, I said #1 of 6 and #2 of 6 will make sense in the end!)


There's no way Twincast will not kick Soundblaster's ass with these 4 on his side (assuming each of them are as powerful as a Dinobot)


Decibel and Legout with Bluestreak (the real one). Now this thread is having more coherence...


The money shot...
C-38: Broadblast
C-116: Twincast
C-121: Gurafi
C-122: Noizu
C-123: Dairu
C-124: Zauru


The money-er shot...

PS: There is Epilogue #2 tomorrow... you get a Heroic commendation if you guess right (Ultra Magnus is not allowed to guess cos he knows)

Time Warrior or bust

Another big congratulations HD

Getting the Dino Cassettes before the KO versions infiltrate is an achievement.

I love the Money and Money-er shots
Twincast and Soundblaster really do complement each other.
Twincast now has new little dino buddies. I bet the Steeljaw and Ramhorn are feeling a bit jealous that Dinos have taken their place

As for Guard City - out of curiousity, are they partly die-cast or plastic?
Another great piece.
Only Guard City to go aye

Yeah, I love the fact that I managed to get all 4 communicators at around the same span of time I got the dino-cassettes. Soundblaster was from Osaka. Then when I returned to HK, I saw D-17 Soundwave in my usual shop. A few days later, I went back to my usual shop to haggle for Twincast, which he had there for more than 5 months (I got a HK$2500 discount!). Then I picked up C-38: Blaster from another shop who also had it for months and months (I got a HK$500 discount!).

Guard City:
The equivalent of Groove and Streetwise has die-cast parts, but the other 3 have no die-cast (like their second release back in '86 where they also didn't have die-cast).

I'm thinking of having a go at combining Guard City...

Very nice acquisitions, that money-er shot looks really nice
