You can't beat the G1's for charm though. (And BTW - G1 Hound CAN level his gun - he just has to hold it upside-down.) Looks just the slightest bit goofy, but at least it's able to shoot somethign other than his own foot or a mouse.) Love of the comps. I think I came to same the same conclusions abo...

OK did a little more research... Here's a guide: http://diaclone.net/orid/dia040/index.html The FISTS are definitely Hilux's. They're BLUE not BLACK like TB's are. The Missles, Sensor and Double-Blasters look exactly the same as TB's - so... Sure, I guess they're original. Why not? :lol: Oh yeah, an...

No, the auction still starts this Monday. I know the lot # because I always schedule the start of my auctions, instead of having them start right away. (That way they can end on a Friday or Saturday evening, when all the watchers are at home trying to out-snipe each other at the last minute.) It cos...

You've got some really cool KO's there, SP!

Diaclone Hilux / Blue Trailbreaker

Hopefully I'm not putting this thread in the wrong place! (Or breaking any rulz!) A while back I asked y'all about a Blue Trailbreaker that I got off eBay. If you don't remeber, here are some pics: http://h1.ripway.com/Niceguy/TB2.JPG http://h1.ripway.com/Niceguy/TB3.JPG You told me that it was, in ...

Thanks guys! I figured complete would be cheaper but seeing those $150-$180 starting bids / by it nows made me think twice, and want to confirm. VERY GOOD POINT about the shipping costs, Wheezel. Although I always include shipping cost in my comparison shopping, for some reason it didn't dawn on me:...

Collecting Strategy for Combiners

Question for all you G1 collectors out there. Last year I completed my 1984 & 1985 G1 collection, which also includes Bumper (aka Bumblejumper) and Reflector (not Microx!) BUT - in doing so I did not need to get Devastator , becasue I already had a complete, basically mint condition, one from wh...

I think the soundwave looks kind of lame actually. I guess I'm juts old-school that way.

And there's just something... wrong about putting "USA" and the Stars-n-Stripes on ASTROTRAIN'S WINGS. :lol:

But the gold ones are pretty cool. And overall a pretty cool find.

I have had success in refreshing (but I doubt it would cure the yellowing) worn plastic with a Dremel. You have to use it with the puffed brush (I don't find the exact word for this...It's not the wheel shaped brush) at low speed and carefully brush the affected zones. I have fixed even transparent...

Would it be cheeky to ask how much the two sets are going for? You could get the Devastator and maybe buy one or two Dinobots if he was a good bit cheaper than the Dino-set. Just a thought. This is important info to have! Swoop alone could run as much as Devastator! (Well, a high price on Swoop cou...

Bumper arrived today. It's in near-mint to mint condition, DAMAGE-wise, but the arms are loose as hell. (He said the would be though.) You can still pose him if you push them in a little. (You know - so they come up against the side of the car body? Same trick works with C-Jump and B-Bee.) Whatever....

I got Reflector today. It's DEFINITELY legit! I had the KO Microx as a kid, and even going by memory there are obvious differences in the Robots and the Weapons. (And they match up with what this site shows they should have.) Condition was not "mint," but was definitely very good to excell...
