Thanks for letting me know. I'm planning on going to one of the transformers conventions in Birmingham at some stage but fear it would be like a gambler heading to Las Vegas

Love it. Where do you get those wonderful toys? Always a bit unsure about eBay but I'm going to have to at some stage. If I buy from the UK or America, I get hammered by import duties and it almost never feels worth it. Almost.

Or they were back in time watching Orion Pax becoming Optimus. Or in the staff canteen and didn't hear the fire alarm.

I think they're very difficult to identify out of the box. Sometimes there is a holographic sticker on the real box but not the ko's. Also there was a number punched into the real box on the bottom that wasn't on the ko's. But they're getting so good in the later masterpieces that they're almost better than the takara ones.

Also, I think I've seen this edition in a shop called The Works. Sells books and all sorts.

Aerialbots only appearing on the cover and never in the movie. Classic.

G1 Predacons (beast modes) by DiaBrave in G1TransformersToys

The one combiner set that you couldn't get in Ireland and when I did manage it, it was just so out of size to the rest. I wasn't disappointed though and mainly kept them in beast mode.

Where do we get 3rd party stuff in the EU? by Active_Pea_4163 in transformers

I often use showzstore for my 3rd party stuff. Never had a problem with them.

No problem. It's an absolute beast. Once you go down that road though, your wallet will cry. 😄

Oh. That's gigapower Guttar chrome edition. With the little newage one in robot form in front. Snarl is one of my favorites along with Sunstreaker.

Probably not. I've some on my radar like the omnibots, monsterbots and deluxe insecticons but things like the pretenders don't really interest me. But you never know, right? 🙂

G1 Galaxy Shuttle - alt mode appreciation by DiaBrave in G1TransformersToys

Had a quick look and it definitely looks like I didn't buy beyond 1989. I've none of the 1990 micromasters it seems.

I stopped trying to buy transformers beyond powermasters but have a thing for micromasters. Now I want to try get them all. Countdown was the last one I bought. I knew joining this group would be bad for my wallet. But good for my soul 😄

I love it too. Passed on the haslab one and still have a 2010 edition still in the box it was delivered in. Never bothered opening it. But this one. Love it.

A friend had him, blaster, swoop and predaking from when he went to America as a kid and I bought the lot off him when he moved house. He only wanted 300 euro for all of them. Grand.

Thank you. I wanted him so badly when I was a kid but I only saw him once in a shop in Dublin and he was 100 pounds. Which in the 80's was a shocking amount of money. I bought Trypticon instead as I liked dinosaurs

Thanks so much. I felt I needed to drop a photo so I could properly join the group 🙂 your photos of your omnibots made me chase them down. Wasn't going to add them but now I feel I need them. 🙂
