    It is weird - my JP Ehobby reissue Insecticons have never been touched, and yet most of the shiny coating has disappeared.

    I looked it up on TFW's forum this morning, people complained years ago about MISB Encore Soundwave's with chrome wear. I'd guess it's a QC issue on the chrome.

    Same with my TFC Bombshell, yet the other two are ok
    It's not like i run around the house re -enacting cartoon episodes either, they just stand there.

    I was sorting through my empty TF boxes today & realised that when you stack the Asia Exclusive Seekers Aces box on top of the Asia Exclusive Seekers Elites box, the front of box picture joins like a jigsaw puzzle.

    I found this out a couple of days ago, but I noticed I've been transforming Generations Kickback completely wrong. I've put the chest round the wrong way when transforming, so it ends up above the front. The reason I noticed this was because the claw/insect hand things wouldn't go into the square groove. I also didn't notice that the bottom of the torso in robot mode (the crotch area) could pivot, to allow the legs to sit flush in insect mode.

    Man I had G1 Defensor's head mistransformed for a good year before I stumbled upon an ebay auction with a nice big clear photo of him. Didn't realise his head was meant to be rotated so it could sit properly on his upper body...

    also I had no idea the Japanese/south east asian region were big on Transformers till after I joined these forums. Always thought they were a western thing
    Wow! I just did this for the first time! Thanks!

    It's funny... I've played w/ other people's G1 Getaway figures plenty of times, but it wasn't until I finally got my own and placed him on my 1988 Autobots shelf that I realised that he's substantially taller than Joyride and Slapdash. Bomp.

    I came across these monstrosities in Melbourne Habourtown's Toyworld last month. Almost batted them away because they looked so much like KO's, but took a photo because of their Hasbro licence.
