    Those extra paint apps and details and shiny paint that collectors want? That's why.

    Try places like FantoFan.jp HLJ.com or Robotkingdom. Getting in on preorders and group orders might help you save a little bit too, but in general you're not going to get anything from Japan at the same price as a Hasbro toy locally.

    Is there any difference between Overlords and Metroplex's small black missiles? They appear the same on TFU....

    Does G1 Optimus Prime have copyright stampings on the cab, or is it just the trailer?

    I don't have an Overlord, but I'm positive they have the same black missiles

    Really? That's useful to know - there are often otherwise-complete-Overlords-except-for-the-missiles on eBay.

    They look the same, but they're not. There's a tiny bit of difference between the 2. Attachment 4217

    There is no copyright stampings on the cab, its only on the trailer, but I might be wrong on that.

    I'm new to the TF comics/graphic novels, other than the few I read as a kid (and I have no idea which they were as they belonged to a friend). I've read Last Stand of the Wreckers and I'm just wondering where to go from here? What is the best series to read first and where can I buy copies from? I bought the Bumblebee one Target have because it was only $7.88 but I'm assuming I need some backstory? Any advice is greatly appreciated!

    A lot of people will recommend the original G1 Marvel series, as they are very much a bible of sorts to G1 but also because the writing is incredibly good.
    You'd be in luck with these, as IDW has announced that they will be reprinting the entire G1 run - I just don't know when these will be available for purchase.

    I'm currently reading through them myself, up to the 3rd out of 4 Headmaster Comics, and I can vouch for their awesomeness but I chose a slightly expensive route with these as I've been collecting the Titan Books G1 Marvel Reprints (Hardcover), as up until now they were the best reprints you could get - Short of getting the original comics themselves.

    I hope this gives you an idea at least Jena.
