They did reissue Ultra Magnus in his Diaclone colours as a ToyFes 2001 exclusive figure. Although the reissue doesn't come with Powered Buggy (which has never been included in any version of Ultra Magnus).

Powered Convoy originally retailed for 3800JPY ($45) and the reissue originally sold for 5000JPY ($60). You probably won't find those toys for those prices now (and I'm not suggesting that you can) - but considering that Powered Convoy has been out of production for approx 29 years and the reissue was a limited exclusive, it's not surprising if these things are now hard to find and fetching high prices on the aftermarket.

Now I'm looking for the Ultra Magnus Redeco online but can't find any trustworthy sellers. I'm willing to pay a steep price for this fig as I consider it a Holy Grail (I LOVE THE DIACLONE COMMERCIAL of PowereD Convoy)

Cmon TakTom, get your stickers right!

^^Thats pretty poor.

I don't get it. What's wrong with those stickers?

[iamirondude]

they've been cut out of centre and its a shame cause the stickers enchance the figure

[Yukitora]

i hate non centred things. Meanwhile, making shoulder joints... not fun.

instead of enhancing the figure these stickers are actually essential because TErrorcon cliffjumper comes with no painted windows and I can't have stickered windows that are half-silver!

Ah well, I just use texta to draw on my own windows lol

Oh, so that's not intentional. I know that during G1 sticker decos often "bled" over the cut lines, so I wasn't sure if that was done as an intentional effect or of it was a bad print. I'm looking at pics of the toy on TakaraTOMY's web site and... yeah, definitely bad misprint.

Has anyone else experienced this w/ their Arms Micron toys or did Skywarp91 just luck out? Now I'm kinda concerned about my Arms Micron Skywarp, which I got back in March, but I won't receive it until December or January (because I'm getting it shipped together w/ MP Sunstorm and UTD Artfire).

Get you contact the retailer for a refund/exchange?

might just be a one off thing cause the stickers on my terrorcon cliffjumper were cut perfectly.would u be able to send the stickers back and get them exchanged?

I could contact BBTS to get them to ship another figure for the sake of the stickers, but that'd be pointless having two figures now with one with no stickers. I'm pretty grateful that I have this figure in the first place and that most of the stickers are meant for the micron figure which I don't really care for.

So I'm not too fussed about this, it is just poor Q/c though.
