I just learned how freakin hard it is to harvest parts from old G1 (later years)... I broke my Getaway yesterday while playing with it, luckily Ive got a spare in parts that I was planning to give an H2O2 bath, but ended up now as spare parts. I thought it would've been a simple swap, but nope, I ended up having to disassemble the whole toy - except for the feet - coz all the parts are interlocked and I can tjust loosen the back part and yank the part broken off, gaaah!! Took me an hour and a half ( mebbe more) just to reassemble the toy properly... which I gave an H2o2 crème treatment coz now the parts don't match in whiteness... 1 day after - viola! uber-white toy, that H2O2 crème works wonders! heheheh
Anyways, yeah, I learned now that a simple looking toy (brick G1) is not so simple at all. It's got heaps of parts, and wotnot assembled into one simple looking toy....makes me appreciate G1 toys even more after seeing how complex the parts connect and interlock.
broken part next to the figure shows just how much yellowing this toy had - front dash board part... pardon my room uses yellow lightbulb heheh
