In total it was well over US$100, I can not remember the final figure, as I may cry
It was hard tracking down the parts, especially that tiny antenna.

Nice work Lordy. There's some great satisfaction to be had in restoring and completely accessorizing a figure you've always loved or wanted.

Thanks. I am slowing down on buying old G1 figures and actually getting the accessories for the ones I have. Not a cheap venture

wrt reprolabels, sometimes your order can take a while because they dont always have sets of all labels on hand. sometimes they have to wait for a few orders (or whatever) before they get another batch of a certain set of labels made up.
I waited about 8 weeks for my sideswipe set, but less than 10 days for some other sets. when I contacted them (kinda abusive email ) they explained that there were no s'swipe sets in stock and were awaiting more to be made up.
personally, i wouldnt be scared to order from them.
(unless you've had a far worse experience, in which case do tell)

i think theres a thread on reprolabels somewhere here too...

Ah ok. I'll email them again on Monday on a status update. I wish they had better options for postage.

and the fact he was forgotten by the G1 TV series.

Even if the Deluxe Autobots were put into the G1 cartoon, animators would need to significantly modify the show models to avoid a lawsuit with the Dorvack animé; much like what was done to Jetfire/Skyfire to avoid a lawsuit with Macross/Robotech. Then fans would complain about how the Deluxe Autobots aren't "show-accurate."
