Beast Wars Agenda

[gdmetro]

The telemocha Taraka figures aren't that common on eBay. Places like Big Bad Toy Store and the like would be your best bet.

For availability, the original figures would be your best bet.

For show accuracy, the Telemocha are the way to go. I've got a set of them and they are very impressive.

The Hasbro 10th Anniversary repaints are hit and miss. The Tarantulas is good but the Dinobot is horrific.

I've got a few of the originals for sale. Blatant plug.

But I say have a look at the telemochas first and see what you think.

Thanks. Looked through your thread and it seems I could get a bunch of s1 figures loose which is really tempting. Telemocha seem really rare- if not on ebay. They seem to align with what I am looking for but also not... I think if they are this rare despite being released in 2007 I might have to go for u.s. version originals- which are kind of what I wanted in the first place.

Can I be greedy and ask for pics of these telemochas?- If anything, the one fig I would want is telemocha Dinobot!! That guy looks TOO sweet.

I haven't bought from him but Autocon has a Beast Wars thread too.

Thanks.

It's the only show mould that hasn't been rereleased since 1997. Thus it's an iconic iteration of a popular character and only available as a 'vintage' 14-year-old toy. (And yes, as Verno said, the little guns are often lost too, adding to the scarcity of complete Rattraps.)

If that's the case.. wow won't even bother looking for a mosc original.. can't imagine what that would cost!!

Erm cant remember where I heard this but I think they lost the mold for Rattrap as well which is why the 10th anniversary ended up being the transmetal version of Rattrap.... again Im not 100% sure. Hence no rerelease of original Rattrap.

So far gdmetro , Verno is the only seller here Ive seen "specializing" in BW stuff, Skyshadow has MISC stuff too I believe - Blackarachnia was it?(jap version). Price range wise I cant contribute any sorry as Im not much into BW. I do collect em (nearing completion) but only 1 representation of each character - that of their transmetal (as much as possible) versions except when there's none (Fuzors) or if I prefer their non transmetal version (Inferno). You sure you want carded stuff? , that may be hard to find (or too pricey), prolly get piecemeal man. Get a complete figure then get the card backing _ for MIC/MIB but Im sure those 2 and others here can point you in the right direction on where to find stuff.

I wish you the best of luck in this endeavor as it is always great to have something to aim in this hobby of ours. I admit Im finding myself kinda lackluster with the TF collecting hobby since Ive finished (with the exception of a few items in my sig) G1 (US release) and have only TM Tigatron and X9- ravage( pretty darn Expensive buggers - so no hurry)Luckily there's other toys to collect heheheeh.

If I do come across stuff in my e-bay or toy searches Ill be sure to pm it to you.

Thanks Liege- really appreciate all the advice you've given me (esp at fairs).
I'm just trying to figure out what I want and what is reasonable to go for- might be good to go for loose- carded goal is a harder goal and will take longer but be more satisfying. I grew up with these toys on the shelves and could never find many opportunities to grab these figures as a kid... same with the g1 guys who want sealed.

Ultimately, I want to display these guys in package- won't really play with em' - (sorry Gok). I will definitely get MIB megas and ultras- so I can still have a fiddle before putting back in box- really want to play with an optimal optimus same as the one I saw tower down at me in Burwood Grace Bros. back in 1998!!!


The first 2 figures I want to definitely hunt for w/o compromise are:

1) MOSC Original Dinobot- This is the only BW figure and one of handful of figs I ever got from my parents whilst shopping with them on a whim. Other gifts were always from aunts/relatives/sister on bdays/xmas. I still remember- was at Target Burwood and I saw BW figs, asked if I could get one preparing to get a "no", and by some divine miracle my parents said yes. I scoured through and found a dinobot!!! Also as you can guess, my favourite character from the show. Too bad he was dumped in the trash/some lucky **** got my bag of BWs/power rangers stuff perhaps from a thrift store? cause my aunt whilst cleaning our garage didn't know and boom went all my childhood.

2) MIB Optimal Optimus- for the very reason mentioned above.
