Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

I've toyed with the idea in the past but never ended up ordering anything from them, i just don't think stickers are worth even the fairly cheap prices they charge! In this case though, just one sticker is easy enough for me to do myself... sometime

I think Reprolabels' prices are okay. I'd buy some if I had PayPal (they don't accept payments by other means ).

Gok, I'll be doing an order in the next few months. If you make a list of what you want I'll order it and drop off at the next Parra fair (wont be this one coming up though, the one after).


Oh and how's everyone's classics Jetfire going? I pulled mine out the other day, he was in a box in a wardrobe, and he is yellowing slightly It's only a little bit but definately noticeable, mainly on his back/top of jet. I've only had him about a year and the last 6 of those months have been spent in a dark wardrobe in our spare room.

Could a few of you check yours and report back?

I don't have Jetfire, but I've been slowly watching my Classics Megatron's orange go from fiery to... peach.

@Kurdt: Here's a couple of quick picks I took of my reissue Astrotrain. The Stickers you're talking about were factory applied to mine. You'll see in the instruction sheet though that it contents diagram has a sticker sheet with those shapes clearly on it and the placement guide shot has stickers 1 and 2 as those, even though they didn't come with the reissue. From memory the pictures in the diagram are undetailed versions of a Japanese release, although the actual sticker sheet has Japanese script and no tail fin stickers.









@Trent: Had a look at my (Hasbro) Classics Jetfire this morning. I keep him MIB in a room with minimal sunlight. I picked him up when he was released so he's been kept in that room the entire time and no signs of yellowing. I wonder, is it also damaging to white plastic to keep it completely removed from light? Possibly not as damaging as keeping it in direct sunlight but damaging nonetheless?

Trent, had a look at Jetfire, no yellowing that i could notice. Magnus on the other hand isn't as bright as he used to be. Dulling down on the white, not yellowing if that makes sense.

Set up one Gok, it's easy. I got my Debit/credit bank card (where my salary goes in) attached to it as it is the most convenient/safest way to pay online/ overseas.

@Trent: my Jetfire is loose and on display, but then I keep my display room sunlight free ... he's still white, no yellowing.

Has anyone ever had a gun Transformer seized by customs and - if so - was there anything you could do about it? I'd at least like my box and accessories even if they won't give me back the main body.

[griffin]

Quite a few people had theirs seized when MP5 came out, and even someone recently mentioned it I think. Perhaps do a search for "customs" or "Seized" and see if anything recent comes up.

I think, if you don't have a permit to have the gun part, you won't have much luck with the extras, as they appear to be classed the same as guns (at least in QLD).
