    Just out of curiosity where did those from and how much did it cost (approx)?

    I got them from the US on eBay. The bunch cost me approximately $16 each. I'm not sure there's something about vintage toys. The Hot Rod for example has blackened steel toes while the Jazz has really old stickers compared to the re-issues but there's something about them that makes them feel like a piece of history. Don't get me wrong, I love re-issues b/c they're so much newer. But there's something about holding a 20+ yr old toy that's still in good nick.

    I still haven't decided if I'll see the spares. That was my original intent when I bought the lot b/c I needed the rarer cassettes, Trailbreaker and Chromedome. None of those usually come cheap. The cassettes going for up to $40USD each ($25-30 if I'm lucky), Trailbreaker is $60-80 USD and Chromedome is $100 USD shipped normally. I figured it'd be a bargain since it was sold as whole lot. Then I'd be able to recoup my cost by selling what I didn't need but now I'm not so sure anymore.

    Meh. The vehicle mode is love, but the "robot" modes really suffer for that. I'll display it in vehicle mode, but once I've reviewed it I doubt I'll even go for the robot modes again.

    I got Stockade and MW Megatron yesterday, both from BBTS.


    Eagerly waiting for Masterpiece Meister
