G1 Sunstreaker

Post by Devastator »

I am looking for someone to either sell or trade me a G1 Sunstreaker, I don't much care if it is an original or a re-issue as long as it looks like the original. Any help will be appreciated.

I don't think Sunstreaker was ever re-issued. I'm fairly certain that Sunstreakers original mold was one of those that was lost or destroyed and therefore cannot be re-issued.

Though, they said for a long time that the Predaking casting was destroyed for sure, too, and they wound up finding it!

A Sunstreaker re-issue would be great. I wonder if there are any other plans for more re-issues

Basically, any mold can be re-made again, by just having a suitable Sunstreaker they can dissasemble. Just look at the KO Swoops which are all over evilBay now...

I wouldn't mind a Sunstreaker re-issue, as long as it offers something different, who knows, perhaps in all-white (civilian), or black.

hm, aye. I think they should reissue some diaclone colorations, or something alike. Though, I can see this turning into a proliferation of fanfic-ish characters like Sunstorm. Maybe even a Decepticon Brawn and Huffer! (See cartoon review thread)

I am sure they will also do some of the unimportant characters as well. You know, like that Megaflan guy. ;)

"movie preview" magnus is diaclone colors, i guess. Matrix glow, i don't know where that came from. Something with this japanese obsession with unicolor characters like black, and "ghost", and "crystal" and "fire guts".

And Megatron IS in his microman colors. unless they make one without a scope mount and do the brown and black scheme.

Well, if they reissued Sunstreaker in the police colors woud save me big bucks... I followed one with heavy yellowing and no accesories, well loved which went for GBP60. Yikes...

I know, I just couldn't find a better place to compare the Defective-con leader Mega*flan* to a large pile of something soft, slimey, squishy and completly lacking in flavor taste and substance. ;)

if you want a sunstreaker make sure you get the fists/gun. many i have seen have niether. i had one a few years ago that i sold for £20 that had no discolouring. they seem to be worth more now though

I really like the Ultra Magnus diaclone, I wish he wasn't so exspensive. :(
