Over the weekend while visiting people in another city, I got these:

This Transformer is pure LOVE.

[autobreadticon]

pretty happy and back into some TF love,ROTF bludgeon and timelines nightbeat

[optimus1]

These arrived courtesy of a rare (i.e. 3rd time ever!) visit to Ebay.



G1 Thrust - only missing missles and landing gear
G1 Bluestreak - missing 1 Launcher
G1 Sunstreaker - missing his rear spolier and has two right hands??

I'm especially happy with Sunstreaker. He was one of the TFs I gave away during my 'I'm too old for this' phase and am now glad I got him back.

Thrust completes my G1 Seekers!

Now I only have to get Skids to complete the Autobot cars

Sure are m'boy, found this one at a Toyworld in the city. Note sure if it's immedietly obvious to everybody, but can you see how cleverly they make all the grey bits stand out as being the skeleton frame and all the rest is robotic samurai armour (obviously)? Such great design!

I don't mean to alarm you optimus1, but it seems highly likely that your Sunstreaker hands are from the recent KO. The KO was packed with two right hands and no left. I've seen this a lot on Ebay lately whereby sellers use KO parts to sell a toy off as complete.

Now I only have to get Skids to complete the Autobot cars

I only recently acquired Skids and I have to say that he is fast being one of my favourite G1 toys. Thankfully mine doesn't have the issue of the wheel sticking out from under the feet when in robot mode causing a slight imbalance. Highly recommended.

I highly recommend all the G1 '84 and '85 'cars'. They are all things of beauty on a level that the TFs nowadays can only aspire to (my subjective view, heh).

I just had another close look at Sunstreaker, his hands DO look a bit too new
But at least one of his missles appears similarly aged as his engine. He doesn't appear to be a KO but his hands really do appear to be

I'm just glad that my other Autobot Cars are surely not KO - most of them I got before all this KO nonsense started

As for Skids, I'm not in any rush for him yet. I'll look for a great priced Encore version!
