Again we refer to your expertise. Never knew they made KO's of the microman stuff. As they are ealier Ko's i assume that there quality is also good.

I have held in my hands the old KOs of Soundwave and Reflector and the quality is pretty good. I reckon those may be from similar manufacturers.Deszaras wrote:Again we refer to your expertise.

While I have been looking for Diaclone figures on ePrey Italy - the best place to look for pre-TFs! - sometimes I find those pre Dinobots listed, including the knock offs, they are quite close from what you can see in the pictures, so it can be spooky as you can only rely on the seller's honesty.

It's a Skywarp KO, I want one. We'll need Jose again, but I think it was either Four Star or King Dam, like Minerva's Starscream. The bombs on luis' Skywarp just reminded me of him. I thought maybe the chrome had worn off or the re-molded them in gray.Deszaras wrote:what is that ramjet? I've never seen one of them before.
BTW: It looks like someone has put revel model jet missiles and bombs onto those wings as the bombs/misiles are still plastic grey.

Agreed that looks far better than the real one! Probably rarer as well though...

Really? Well not everyone in my family knows yet, but as my extended family here I can tell all of you. As you may know or guess I am in the US Navy. I am shortly getting orders to Naples Italy. I'll be there for three years. Bonus, the military gives me/us lots more money to live there. So I may need help in getting things shipped to me if anyone would give a hand . I won't be leaving for like 2-7 months. Yes that is a wide window

I overlooked the Jumpstarters; however, these were plagiarised to extenuation because of their simple construction (honestly I don't see any other reason).
Regarding Italy, yes, you will find out several pre TFs there, and cheaper than in other countries. They seem to admire the Japanese culture, anime is heaps popular and if you extend your search to other old Japanese robots you will have fun... I have had bad luck, because one of my most sought after figures, the Mirage with "Ligier" on the sides, I have found often from sellers who don't accept Paypal and won't ship abroad. Also, with the blue Trailbreaker I have been outbid several times... But, they turn up again and again.
Going the black jet, I have seen it before on evil Bay, but I don't know more than what you have said...

That Wheeljack is in the category of "impossible" to me, I have never seen one cheap (In this case "cheap" means less than USD 200!). It's like the Blue Bluestreak (my personal Holy Grail), vintage yellow Sideswipe, and I'm not mentioning the Big Powered, Fortress X and Great Robot Base (oops, I did). Instead, I have seen the Ligier Mirage for EUR 30 and the alike (unbroken, but no accesories). It's not that uncommon or desired, in my opinion it's even overlooked.Ramjet wrote:Oooooo...."Ligier" Mirage-I had forgotten that. What about Marlboro Wheeljack? Now those are VHTF!
