New guy!

Post by Tim Vader »

Hi guys. I just signed up here today when I was looking for some info on a craigslist lot that I picked up. I just completed my loose vintage Star Wars collection and decided to move to some of the early G1 transformers and scooped up a pretty sweet lot at an insane price.

I have not dealt with transformers much at all since I bought them as a kid back in the 80's, so most of these parts are unknown to me. Here are the crappy pics of the ad, and a few I snapped of some of the guys I know. I will post better tonight as I start sorting

I see an almost complete Soundwave, Skywarp, Ultra Magnus, 6 cassetes, devastator, and there is also a complete swoop in the lot, I was stoked because I have never owned him.

Lots of great stuff there. Unfortunately the first 2 pics don't enlarge for a better view. So you cannot make out a lot things. How much did you get all that for?

what I can make out:
wheeljack
sunstreaker
warpath
twin twist
blurr
bombshell
camshaft
cosmos
shrapnel

Combiner stuff:
Defensor
devastator

Accessories:
jetfire armor
megatron gun
shockwave barrel

Good Eye! :wink: I think Thrust is in there next to the Shockwave barrel. Bigger pics wouldn't hurt, though. Welcome aboard and nice haul! 8)

The lot was $30 :D

Here are a few pics, minus the hundreds of missiles, fists, chrome weapons, hoses, and god only knows what else!

Skywarp was always one of my favorites as a kid, I need to find his left rudder to complete him ASAP. I have plenty of parts that have no figure to offer in trade if anyone is interested.

Welcome aboard Adleya! :D Those are some really nice quality pieces pictured above in Tim Vaders haul but the price he paid for it shouldn't be a reflection on market value. Check out Transformerlands store and I'm sure you'll be able to find just what you need to get going! :wink: Look forward to seeing you around.

No, I haven't. I wish I had a TRU within driving distance. :cry: How much do they run? And what size are they?
