Count me in there too STL.

Just out of curiosity where did those from and how much did it cost (approx)?

[STL]

I got them from the US on eBay. The bunch cost me approximately $16 each. I'm not sure there's something about vintage toys. The Hot Rod for example has blackened steel toes while the Jazz has really old stickers compared to the re-issues but there's something about them that makes them feel like a piece of history. Don't get me wrong, I love re-issues b/c they're so much newer. But there's something about holding a 20+ yr old toy that's still in good nick.

I still haven't decided if I'll see the spares. That was my original intent when I bought the lot b/c I needed the rarer cassettes, Trailbreaker and Chromedome. None of those usually come cheap. The cassettes going for up to $40USD each ($25-30 if I'm lucky), Trailbreaker is $60-80 USD and Chromedome is $100 USD shipped normally. I figured it'd be a bargain since it was sold as whole lot. Then I'd be able to recoup my cost by selling what I didn't need but now I'm not so sure anymore.

hey dirge, what do you think of the falcon?

Gee STL, did you buy all that just to get about six toys?

[iceburn]

Gee STL, did you buy all that just to get about six toys?

*giggles*

[STL]

Gee STL, did you buy all that just to get about six toys?

It ended up costing me about the same as if I'd gone to get those 6 separately except now I have a whole of G1 goodness. My aim after this is doubling up on my G1 TFs.

I am a bit upset about having to part with Sunstreaker, Sideswipe and Red Alert but they've gone to a Sunstreaker tragic so at least they're in good hands. When I do get around to getting doubles of G1, I fear I may regret this! lol

Dude, your acquisition streak is ridiculous. I'm thoroughly impressed.

My girlfriend is thoroughly not! Nor is anyone else actually. Oh and I shouldn't forget about my wallet.

[iceburn]

never fear about your double g1 lot. *wink wink*
a buyer here is always ready to snap them all up
