Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

Good luck... Dreamwave posters are now 10 years old, so would be hard to find many of them in good condition (I don't think too many people collected them just to keep them mint for investment).

Perhaps try ebay?

There are a handful on ebay... and prices aren't too bad. But if any ship to Australia, postage might bite a bit.

If that doesn't work, do a search for online comic shops. I remember seeing some in stock years ago when I bought my comics online... but wouldn't have a clue on availability now.

Another option is lithographs from IDW limited.

There's a couple of 18"x24" lithographs for $25 each, or there's smaller ones as part of their comic folio range. I think they have plans to release more over time, as well. Lithographs are a much higher quality print than posters and will look fantastic in a frame.

Might be worth checking out bluedogposters.com.au or allposters.com.au as well. Mostly Bay movie stuff but I did see a TF Animated one and one for the '86 movie on allposters.

I like the description on some of those:

Artists of the poster is famous Transformers Artist Pat Lee!

By all accounts that should probably be infamous.

The IDW ones look nice. The DW one I want was a Trade Show Exclusive. There is a really nice 32x24 canvas print on eBay, which looks nice.

I'm thinking about getting another G1 Megs. I'm just wondering why when I search for him on eBay I see vintage G1 Megatron's with orange tips? Has eBay changed it's policy on him or something?

[griffin]

When MP Megatron came out, I think ebay wouldn't allow Americans to sell it without it conforming to some sort of federal legal requirement of having an orange tip... and are probably enforcing that with any replica weapon Transformers toy. (or at least, could enforce it if a listing is reported, so might be prompting some people to cover themselves by sticking orange caps on any replica gun Megatron)
I remember that BBTS were required by federal regulations to only sell MP Megatrons and reissue Megatrons with orange tips... so there is something out there now.
It might make it hard to sell a vintage Browning or Megatron that is Sealed now in America.

i can understand plugs or caps on toys that could pass as replica firearms, but Hasbro have even gone as far as putting orange on their RTS Megatron. Go figure

Does it have to be vintage?
Depending on your States Replica Firearm laws you may be able to import an unmodified version. There are a few stores that are selling reissues

I'm actually after a reissue cause I want to open it, play, sticker it, ect. It's just really odd to see a vintage G1 Megs with an orange tip.

you could consider the Chronicle version that was released with a nicely painted version of DOTM Megatron. about $80 - $100 for the pair in a box together.
