    I wonder which 2 those are.

    And for the rest of us whose Hasbro G1 collections are close to completion (close meaning, you can be bothered to count and list them here), how many more figures do you need, and which are they? And because we're in Australia, we'll include the European G1 (and G1.5) stuff too since they were sold here (which seems fairer to me than including US figures that weren't sold here - but let's just include them all ).

    Mine are...
    Mini-Spies (4)
    The Deluxe Insecticons (4)
    Sky Lynx (can't wait for that Encore reissue!)
    Highbrow
    Hardhead
    Chromedome
    Doublecross
    Repugnus
    Punch/Counterpunch
    Autobot Clones (2)
    Crosshairs
    Targetmaster Blurr*
    Slugfest
    Targetmaster Cyclonus*
    Targetmaster Scourge*
    Grand Slam*
    Raindance*
    Hosehead
    Siren
    Ruckus
    Crankcase
    Beastbox*
    Squawktalk*
    Sky High* (Pretender)
    Splashdown*
    Skullgrin
    Iguanus
    Finback
    Chainclaw*
    Catilla
    Snarler
    Roadgrabber
    Vroom
    Crossblades
    Roadblock
    Countdown
    Bumblebee (Action Master)
    Inferno (Action Master)
    Wheeljack (Action Master)

    Slicer
    Action Master Elites* (4)
    Flame
    Lightspeed

    EU Long Haul
    EU Hook
    EU Scrapper

    (*indicates figures that I don't necessarily care about getting - no, I'm not a completist )

    I count 115 there.

    I've never bothered counting the "European" G1 toys, because the definitions blur. Quite a few were released in both G1 and G2 packaging and since some were sold in a select few countries without appearing in any TF media, they're generally not considered G1. I'm missing maybe ten of those, but I'm not concerned anyway.

    So... taking the most widely used definition of the G1 toyline (up to the end of 1990), I am missing:

    Catilla (in the mail)
    Doubledealer (in the mail)
    Quickswitch (sourced, not yet sent)
    Pretender Jazz (sourced, not yet sent)
    Action Master Wheeljack (in the mail)
    Action Master Grimlock (in the mail)

    ...and Action Master Prowl, whom I am still trying to track down.

    Hmmmm... based on the parameters, I guess the EU Constructicons, that I am not fussed about.

    Since I'm only after the first 2 years worth of toys I only need Barrage, Chopshop and Ransack. So hard to find these C8 complete .

    Wow. Collecting the Actionmasters as part of G1. I never really thought of it that way.

    I don't think I get into them. They're like a poor man's revoltech. I have one or two I think in my collection, they're not very impressive. Only 1 I might chase down is Actionmaster Jazz cos it was my first Jazz and I loved the skateboard thing happening with it. Lots of memories of that as a kid. I think my parents picked it up at a garage sale for me.

    The 2 I'm missing are:
    Pretender Skyhammer, and Pretender Groundbreaker.
    Both have been sourced, with 1 on the way, and the other almost on the way.

    Of the 'Euro' toys, I'm missing Rumbler & Slicer. I consider all action masters part of g1, whereas the rest of the Euro toys I consider g1.5....not that I'm missing many, just the cab for Thunderclash.
    If anyone can help with the last 3, I'd be most grateful!
