    *Bump*

    Anyone?

    I would even appreciate if someone can point me in the right direction (online shop) for an Anime Silverstreak. I realise they are hard to come by.

    dude, I might be able to help. But its not going to be quick.

    I have doubles and triples of most eHobby released stuff back in before 2005, but they are all in 'maximum security' storage back in Singapore and I have not seen the stuff in like 2 years.

    If I do visit home, when work permits, I can rummage through. I am 100% certain I have the anime accurate Silverstreak MISB (just don't know how many). But like I said, its just not going to be quick, so by the time it happens, you're likely to have already acquired what you want.

    Wasn't someone selling a boxed G1 Bluestreak at the Parramatta Fair?
    What about eBay?

    I'd recommend getting the Takara reissue over the Hasbro one though because aside from the chromeless missiles and newtered launchers, Silverstreak also suffers from the infamously cheap looking Hasbro Grey(TM). And yeah, the Takara has more showlike colours.

    Thanks for the offer heroic_decepticon. That's very kind of you. If I do find one, I'll update this thread so you know and don't have to go to any trouble.

    I have been looking every day for the past couple of months. The last one that was listed was when I wasn't in a position to buy it. It sold for US$125. There are about 3 'chromed' Ehobby Silverstreaks available at the moment, however I am not really interested in variants.

    Definitely. Originally I thought I'd settle for either the Hasbro reissue or the Takara (Anime) one just for the sake of finishing my 1984 Autobots, but I have since changed my mind. I am after the Ehobby one only mainly because it's more 'show accurate' and comes with chromed weapons unlike the Hasbro one.

    Definitely the eHobby one. I sort of didn't bother about any of the Hasbro reissues (only got Grapple cos they repainted his eyes blue for the Hasbro release, heh).

    If one of those spares happen to be a Twincast, I would be very interested

    Yeah, I didn't bother with most of the Hasbro reissues. Chrome-less weapons and missiles put me off a bit.

    I do have Tracks (Hasbro reissue) cause there is no difference between that and the TFCC one or the original G1 release.

    Just the missle launchers arent neutered in the original. The newer released ones have no spring in the launchers, but with the missles being so easily lost ( and puny) I too certainly dont mind.. Good luck with the search 5FDP, hope you complete them carbots soon.
