Re: gundam repair question (ball joint loose)

I'd suggest "Kiki Fix Loose Joints Action Figure". It's a urethane compound that's safe for most toy plastics, can be scraped away if needed, and comes in a little applicator bottle. A little goes a long way, and it doesn't react or leave a crusty residue like using glues to tighten joints...

Re: G1 SHOCKWAVE REPAIR ADVICE

Hello and welcome! 1. Yes, I believe the two halves and the tip were all glued to each other. If the tip seems it was only glued to one half of the barrel, they may not have dispensed the usual amount of glue. 2. YES. I've been using a plastic/rubber protectant on both of my Shockwave's hoses since ...

Re: Transformers G1 Pointblank 1987

We generally try to get a G1 update in every month, and we list Head/Target/Powermasters when our live inventory gets a little low. That said, we're probably due, so give me a week or three and if we have a nice one, I'll get it live. The last couple we sold were $100-125, so expect a price in that ...

Re: Looking for a 90's Transforming Robot

Welcome! I'm straining my brain at present, as there are tons of unidentifiable knockoffs, and also identifiable but obscure toys from major lines that were available. At the moment, the step-in boot foot reminds me very much of Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad's Synchro (either deluxe or the Samurizi...

Re: G2 slingshot!!

Don't feel bad. Owning a sealed one is a nice display piece! The gold is quite pretty, and the G2 packaging is a nice display piece (don't ask me how I feel about packing those double-sided blister cards, though) Best of luck on a G1 conversion. The trick might be finding a G2 that is intact enough ...

Re: Transformers: Rise of the Beasts Discussion Thread

ROTB is the best of the bunch when it comes to the ensemble TF live action movies. I actually look forward to more films from this team. Optimus was still a pretty dangerous guy, but I feel like they at least addressed why rather than just having him be a walking war crime. What are your thoughts, M...

Sorry.... Keep it sealed. He is that bad. Frankly, a sealed one might be a bit worse than usual, as his joints haven't been worn in at all. God forbid you try to combine him! I've had G2 Slingshot since he came out back in 1994, and mine had some chips around the fist/foot socket years before I even...

Re: Value of boxes

Boxes do have some value, but the tech specs and/or robot points cut out does devalue them significantly (probably by up to half). If you're not missing any trim from between the specs and the hole in the box, the tech specs could be re-affixed to the box by getting some matching cardstock material,...

Re: What toys would you least like to see come to life, if they had to?

It's my wife's, not mine, but I'd be a little upset if her Kenner Alien Xenomorph came to life. I'm sure I don't really need to explain why! Most of my other non-TF toys are TF adjacent, and generally not as world-ending and day-ruining as that :D

Re: 1984 Dinobots with original box.

Of course! Transformerland buys G1 Transformers, and we'd be happy to make you an offer. After completeness, condition is important to the value of G1, so the best way to get an offer would be to send an email to offers@transformerland.com with a couple of group-shot photos of your Dinobots, and may...

Re: Is IDW Comics Being Shutdown by Hasbro?

Yes and no. Hasbro does not own IDW Publishing, so IDW will continue to operate as a company. However, Hasbro has ended IDW's license to produce Transformers and GI Joe content. The ongoing Transformers comic series have all ended over the course of 2022 as a result. I haven't heard the reason why H...

Re: 1985 G1 Bluestreak Packaging

The packaging art was not updated to reflect the all-silver production color. However, there are some slight differences like the R vs TM, and an update to the red "scramble" lines on the tech specs being more scrambled-looking than the 1984 packaging. 1984 box back: [urlhttps://www.transf...

Re: Legacy series

Blaster and Galvatron are both solid picks, mold-wise! Some Galvatrons sold in Kingdom packaging had an issue with misassembled shoulders, which is fixable, but the Legacy one avoids that entirely. Blaster is a great figure, and totally blows the Titans Return one out of the water. Plus, he's compat...
