I warned ya it wasn't as good as the others

Nah, I like this figure. I just think Bulkhead as a character concept was a bad idea. I'm actually fairly impressed with the way the designers have translated it into toys (tho I haven't seen the leader size).

Got this one yesterday:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....m=140247630245

Comparing it to the regular one here that my mum got (she likes bumbles too), this one really is superior in its paint apps. I'm surprised hasbro can do their own "henkei treatment" on their own toys..

This is the level that they should be making toys at. Or at least do all of the core characters of every series with the premium treatment AND release them here. Oh well can't complain about the price, but the shipping......


...... got it in a box, yea, a box too short, bent card. Doesn't matter too much though.

G1 Jazz, Topspin and Twintwist off ebay.

All in great condition complete, with perfect chrome!

I'll probably replace some of the non factory stickers, more because of poor alingment than condition.

Finally a good Jazz again, the recent reissues had been different to the original, even the encore. I'm really happy

When I got my topspin & twintwist a couple of years ago, they were in exactly the same way. Perfect chrome on the toys and guns, but the stickers were very worn, and so were the rub signs. If I get arouund to repo'ing them up, they'd look like new.

Pretty funny though, they seem to be the only g1 toys that resist chrome wear.

I would think the lack of chrome wear would be due to the fact you don't actually transform them they flip themselves up so your not constantly gripping twisting and turning parts causing major rub wear.

I suppose. But there are the rest of the toys that just flake for the sake of it after just being left alone too.

I got a giant box today containing 2 TFs so... I thought you guys might like to have a look at my new arrivals...



These boxes are in beautiful condition considering their age



The stickers came pre-applied & really bring these 2 to life





& in combined mode...



Victory Saber is huge! He is absolutely massive! If you want me to take a comparison pic with another TF for size purposes, Just let me know & I'll be more than happy to oblige...
