Does anybody know where to buy "WSTF" (worlds smallest transformers) by the case? Is that still possible? I see guys selling them on ebay all the time, but they gotta get them from somewhere?
What do you guys think about WSTF's? Anybody collecting those?
I just got a G1 style Thrust, and im really impressed by just how similar it really is to the full size Thrust. Really cool toys IMO. Damn things only 3.25'' from cone to thrusters! The lil hands are freaky small. "Hell hands" Hell to findem' if you drop em'!
The Thrust you've got is the most common one in the series and seller in local evilbay here only ask for $2.5USD. However the Soundwave in series one may cost you 5 times more..........

You can likely buy a case of them on ebay too.
I actually know a guy with a case who'd sell it, but he would want going rate for it.
Yeah, thats too steep... Ide like to find a case thats factory sealled and i want to be the one to see what it is that im getting first. Any hope of getting a case like that imported so's to cut out the middle man? Purchase straight from factory, or 1st hand distributer? The guys on ebay are getting theirs from somewhere??? I just want to locate a Starscream, a Megatron, a Soundwave, Optimus, ect... I was so pissed the other day when i lost out on an auction for a Starscream that sold for $9 with 3 dollar shipping.... Im new to transformers, and i just figured ide find another one no prob........ Ive only been able to find 1 now on the bay and its starting bid is $25???! Plus shipping! Whats this world coming too??

These were produced in 2003 and 2004. You're a bit late to the party to be trying to cut out the middle man. At this point, you're dealing with the fifth man at best.

Daaang,... that really sucks. I'm planning on getting the ones i want, i really like them, just sucks im so late in joining the party...... But im getting in!
if there's a lot on ebay, I wouldn't be surprised if they came through Diamond Comics distribution. It's not unusual for them to get some import toys well after the original production. You might consider contacting your local comic shop to see if they can order them.

Nice find, NUCKATRON. However I'm not quite sure if it's a little bit overpriced. Although Bee is a highly sought figure, he's a majority in the lot and does not cost very much (I just saw a bid on local auction site - 3 WST Bees with final price of $11USD). I'm not quite sure shipping would make a considerable factor to your cost (coz HK is a very small place and postal usually constitute a very small percentage or none of the cost - ppl here prefer face trade). Good luck to your seeking!
By the way, I will also get a WST Dirge very soon - for around $0.9 USD plus postal to my home ........

Very nice score on that WSTF Dirge!!!! How the hell did you find it?? I gotta have one!!

Just a lucky find on local evilbay here . However this kind of find is a little bit rare, and you can't rely on that to collect to whole series. Afterall Dirge is (and STILL IS! ) the most unwanted figure in the whole lot so you should be able to find them rather easily and cheap (I know, you have to add a little shipping charges on that.....). I do not intend to get whole set, but if such kind of lucky find come again I will pick up some more (especially if this come to WST Soundwave )...........
BTW thses little TFs have indeed cost you increased money over these years: Some year ago I had OP and Megatron as 1 set here - sold rather cheapat $4.5 USD, and lost them with some other tiny toys during house moving....... And they cost around $13 according to some latest local evilbay trade record - some lesser wanted Classic/ Movie Deluxe classes MISB TFs would ask for less than this here.

Yeah man, I heard that the WST Dinobots are VERY accurate. Nothing but good news about those. Ide pick up a set for myself, if I could find them at a decent price.
Hey Chulik, can you please post a picture of your WST Dirge when you get him? Ive never seen a WST Dirge, and cant wait to check that out!
By any chance, do you know if your Dirge is a HeeroToysMaker KO? I just scored on a few WST seeker jets off of him on Ebay. He sold me a Skywarp, a Thundercracker, a Sunstorm, a WST E-Hobby KO "Ghost of Starscream" and a WST E-Hobby KO of "Black Starscream, He even hooked me up with a Clear "BLUE" WST KO Optimus Prime with Trailer.
Good stuff man, i'm really excited to be getting all these. Got them all DIRT CHEAP too!!

Here you are. As I don't have a digital cam at hand so I post the photos from the seller directly here.
Honestly I Don't think it's a KO, as I get this WST Dirge together with the box and the instructions. And you may wish to know that the KOs sell FOR MORE BUCKS here than this real Dirge (One KO ask for $9.X USD here) and it makes no sense to the seller to get the box with a KO to me.
Great for you to fetch these nice TFs! To me, a nice KO value as much as a nice real TF.
