    Default G1 bubble differences

    As i am now venturing into the scary world of G1 MIB/MOSC collecting i have a question which i am hoping members can answer. One of my first targets is Tracks. I'm doing alot of research so i don't get burned but cant find any info on the below bubble differences.

    As you can see in the item below the Tracks bubble is in the shape of the car.

    And this one is perfectly rectangular.

    Are they both legit?

    The second auction appears to use the reprobubbles insert, scroll down 1/2 a page or so. Avoid.

    I had no idea there are KO bubbles. I'm so glad I don't buy G1 toys other than the occasional reissues. Fear of all the KO stuff keeps me out of the G1 market.

    Don't pay too much for Tracks, I have seen him regularly go for around $90 MIB in the past three months, not necessarily with bubble though.
    I have a couple of of repro bubbles which I don't display my figures in, if they are original bubbles then the figures get displayed in their cozy home.

    They're not as much KOs, just plastic that groups have made for convenience of display, although this is using it wrong.
