[griffin]

MISB = Mint in Sealed Box
MOSC = Mint on Sealed Card
MIB = Mint in Box (not sealed)
PM = Private Message (through this messageboard)

If you need any other abbreviations explained, just list them and people here will give you the answers.

FAB
RID?

Hahah still getting used to everything..

[kup]

FAB = Fast Action Battlers - The cheap movie toys with gimmick weapons.
RID = Robots in Disguise - This mostly refers to the Pre Armada Japanese cartoon series and toy line under the same name.

Robot In Disguise is a toyline/TV series that is the Hasbro adaptation of a Japanese series/line called Transformers Car Robot. RiD features a few extra figures and variants not seen in Car Robot such as Bruticus and some Spychangers etc. although Car Robot's Brave Maximus (called Fortress Maximus in the RiD cartoon) was never released as a toy in RiD.

MISB or MIB can also stand for Mint In (Sealed) Bag, but it's rare for Transformers to come bagged (only some mail away and convention exclusives).

There's also MISP or MIP which stands for Mint In Sealed Package or Mint In Package. "Package" is a more generic/universal term which can refer to any kind of packaging - box, card, bag etc.
