I personally never lost any of my Nebulans as a child. Another child went and lost my Krunk after I let him borrow Snapdragon! Gggrrr!! (Hey kids! NEVER lend your toys to nobody!!)

I thought Hun-Grrr was really well done. But I suppose he's different because he wasn't some randomly invented monster like the Monsterbots or Firecon, but rather a double-headed dragon (i.e. sort of based on an "existing" mythological creature). Do alt modes based on mythological creatures count as "Weird Monster Things"? Cos Sinnertwin transforms into an Orthus (2 headed dog from Greek mythology), as opposed to Blot who transforms into... umm... I have no idea. A blot.

Would I buy a figure from a subline I dislike, from a generation of figures that I dislike? Who does that? No, obviously.

Euro G1 is the same as Australian G1 dude. Australia (and New Zealand) got all those late-G1 Euro-market toys. When it comes to those toys, I find you're better off getting them in Australia than say in Japan. I saw some of the prices in Japan and thought, "zOMG!" Obviously Japanese dealers charge more cos these toys were never released there, but I've occasionally seen them sell in local fairs and markets for way cheaper prices (since they're obviously not as rare or "exotic" here).
