good catch there, buddy. i wish my sixshot only cost ten bucks. you outta post a pic of the sheets. someone at work actually made me a blanket out of just the sheet, cus the edges were bad. actually though, i think there were multiple art patterns on that. hmm. matt, you should sell TF sheets on your site.
this weekend, because i still have a young sister, i still get the benefits of the easter bunny, although i tell him what to buy, cus he can't keep track. this weekend it was some energon toys. i like how energon starscream transforms the very same way as G2 smokescreen (the little figure that came with dreadwing)

oh cool, I've never seen that one :) Must be from around '84. I have a bluestreak puzzle that can make either a car or a robot. I also had a starscream puzzle, but I just sold it.

On a completely different topic, I recently ran into a bunch of old sears catalogs and catalogs from other companies...they're pretty funny. They've got some weird pictures of prime transformed all wrong in robot mode and a pretender holding a predacon (divebomb) sword. I got a kick out of seeing those things again :)

do you know how angry stuff like that made me as a kid? i saw this pic of dreadwing (G2) with an elf superimposed dancing on the wing. i was like what the? oh man, he is so gonna blow your ass up, elf-fiend. lol
yeah, i have the bluestreak 3d puzzle. frustrating. there is a puzzle that matches up with the pictured one, with all the deceps on it. i think starscream is at the head of the pack, is that the one you're thinking of, trance?

I FOUND SOME MORE STUFF OVER THE WEEKEND AGAIN.....

KUP (COMPLETE)
SHOCKWAVE (MINUS BATTERY COVER)
TRANSFORMERS METAL DINNER TRAY

I HAVE A "TARGETMASTER KUP" C-9 (NO WEAPONS / MISSING STICKERS / TIGHT / CLEAN)
ANYBODY INTERESTED IN BUYING?

THE ONLY DIFFERENCE WITH THE TARGETMASTER IS THE HOLES IN THE HANDS ARE LARGER AND THERE IS A HOLE FOR A GUN MOUNT WHILE IN TRUCK MODE. EVERYTHING ELSE IS IDENTICAL TO THE ORIGINAL. :lol:

The Transformers dinner tray does have the little legs that fold down for breakfast in bed and it is the same picture as the puzzle up above but a lot more spread out showing Starscream and more on the left side of the tray.
I will post a picture of it later.

I also found a Megatron and Optimus Prime bobble heads MISB

WHAT A GREAT WEEKEND :!: :!: :!:

Where do you guys go to look for stuff? I've never found anything at any yard sales or thrift stores. I found a Trailbreaker and Astrotrain once at a city wide garage sale, but that's about it.

Usually one can find Transformers in the big cities.
For me I only know 2 small stores in Portland Oregon.

Just follow your nose and check little stores that look like they might have something cool in it. Just check around. Ask store clerks where you can find 80's toys. Pop culture stores are out there. Vintage toys are hard to find.

But always check the store here first for what you are looking for.
It's what I do.

Well, what I think works best when you are trying to find what you're looking for. I use it for hockey cards and the like. You go to a regular store that specializes in toys/cards. Whatever you are looking for. Then you ask for a store relating to exactly what you're talking about. Normally if a place can't help you they'll refer to a place that can. And if you ask for transformers and they got none.. just be like, you have any idea where else I could find some? And chances are that's a good way to sniff out a lead.

Dude... now that I work at Walmart... I can get a small discount on stuff for you and even get it before it sells out on you TT. What is the next piece you want? Then when we meet again we can break even with another.
