Sleeve's Childhood Reclamation

[Sleeve]

Howdy all.

Recently I got my synapses firing and decided it was high time to reclaim all the G1 figures I lost as a child, as well as finally get my hands on figures I've always dreamt of owning. I use 'lost' loosely as I did not lose them per se, instead I sold them all when I was but a wee lad of nine years on. But that, my dear friends, is a tale to be continued in a soon-to-be-posted collection thread.

Anywho, this here is a list of everything I'm in the market for. I will obviously be scrounging many from that wonderful little wallet-buster we all know as eBay, but I figured if anyone here was looking at offloading any of these figures in the not too distant future, I'd very much be interested. Due to financials I can't afford to go all-out and buy everything at once, but I'm making sure I get the feelers out.

Ideally the figures would be complete, loose is preferred (transforming toys should be free from confinement!), and as long as they're not junkers I'm happy - just something to sit on the shelf and look pretty, right? The groups are sorted by year only for reference purposes - if something has been re-issued and that's what's available I'll take it, for example my impending ownership of Predaking, Sky-Lynx and Combaticons thanks to some helpful friends.

I have a spare Bristleback's Pretender shell if you're interested.

[llamatron]

Might be able to sort you out with an Inferno and Tracks... will check later!

[bruticus]

i sent you a PM about some of the figures on your list.
check for it later.

Updated with the current status after some help from some very fine folk, and deleted some discrepancies I had in the list (thought I needed some Micromasters that it turns out I never had).

Goki, sent a PM about Bristleback's shell, mate.

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

I have a Sizzle (the fire-thingy doesn't work) I could part with. I was gonna hold onto him 'cos a funny-car is a pretty nifty alt-mode but if he'll bring back treasured childhood memories it's probably better he go to someone who really wants him.
Think I have a Highjump and Swindler, and possibly a Tailwind, on my not-really-wanted list too. Lemme look into it, and PM me if I haven't got back to you in a few days.
