[Strikefoil]

Cool finds frodo.

 

[frodo]

decided to retake pics of my takara tf collection & my hasbro commemorative series. i never had the chance to put them all together in sequence so this is the 1st time ill be doin this


takara collection

hasbro commemorative series

i try to take pics of my other tf reissues once i have the time

 

[Jedi_Eeth_Koth]

Very cool seeing all those TFC figures together.

 

[GNT]

Very neat collection, I wish Hasbro would release more G1 transformers. I haven't picked any up in ages now.

 

[echoplex]

I wish my boxes still looked like that. lol

 

[Strikefoil]

I really dont want to know how much money is tied into that collection.

 

[Jedi_Eeth_Koth]

At the level frodo is at, I'd be getting it all insured.

 

[andrew8798]

Reports are that the next Encore Figure will be Sixshot

 

[infinitifett]

Glad I got mine back in 03. I think I paid about $55 for it at the time. They're talking about what - $130+ now for the rereissue? Hope eHobby churns out an Artfire repaint. Odd that Tak/Tom is starting to release things right around when third party groups are to do theirs...well maybe not. I think Hasbro's BIS Roddy came out right when Protector came out.

 

[andrew8798]

Price for Sixshot looking around $130 for him

 

[Jedi_Eeth_Koth]

Encore price margins are just getting crazier. I mean, there are so many other more valuable items I can get with $130. :wtf:

 

[Strikefoil]

I can buy a few die cast cars in 1/18 scale for that.

 

[frodo]

Very nice Still debating on if I want/need the TC/SB reissues. Darn tapes.........

 

[DarthCaedus]

wish they would redo more of the combiners. want to see superion, menasor, defensor, and computron.

 

[Strikefoil]

That would be cool to see.

 

[CadBane]

Menasor definitely

 

[infinitifett]

I hear the KO combiners are pretty good quality if you can live with yourself (I could - I guess if I didn't already have the originals) Computron should be hitting the rounds soonish.

[frodo]

not a reissue but an awesome bot none the less one of the obscure versions of prime

g2 go-bot prime

my other go-bots

 

[Jedi_Eeth_Koth]

Those Go-Bots are nice. I really like alot of the late G2 stuff. Those even have the good old Kay-Bee price tag.

 

[Jcc2224Cody]

I'm curious as to the cheapest yet best Voyager scaled Optimus Prime form G1, I was thinking a classics, but I'm not sure which is cheapest. I'm also unsure on a good Megatron, Bumblebee, and Starscream.

Yes, I'm new to Transformers collecting.

Ebay may be your only bet...this is where I have been getting mine from.

 

[andrew8798]

Preorder went up for Sixshot price is $150

 

[Jcc2224Cody]

Voyager Prime is a good 30 bucks if I can find one cheap, and I think I can...

 

[andrew8798]

BBTS has put up the preorder for Sixshot

-Both guns are chromed
-Partial body has metallic paint.
-Brand new design box

$185

Too much money for me

 

[GNT]

That's more then what I'm willing to pay as well. I think I'll be passing on that one till they have a sale.

 

[infinitifett]

Makes me glad that I've been in the game since RID. I think I got my Sixshot reissue in maybe 2003 or 2004 for right around $60.

 

[Jcc2224Cody]

I got in the game during RID too... Transformers Prime RID. XD

I'm not really dedicated to getting a lot of true G1, but there are some Classics that peak my interest.

 

[infinitifett]

Haha...ya I'm old school man. I think it goes by PRID actually - well at least how I've heard it.

I haven't been keeping up with 3rd party stuff lately, but there's a Sixshot (forgot what he's called) in the works that should be cheaper and much more articulated then this one...

 

[Jcc2224Cody]

Meh, I'm not sure if I can afford 3rd party figures... I think I'll stick with Hasbro figures.

Loving how the new Generations Blaster and Grimlock look like they can fit in with classics.

Yak Face hanging with Jetfire

Cause that is how he rolls.....

 

[CadBane]

Wtf? They made a re-issue of Jetfire? Here's my G1 version.

 

[BFett88]

Wtf? They made a re-issue of Jetfire? Here's my G1 version.

No they did not re-issue him, but this is the thread to post anything G1 related.

On a side note, takara is making a re-issue Encore of Fort Max......

Which you can preorder here:

Encore: #23 Fortress Maximus - Transformers Encore Reissues Encore Reissues

Only $350, really is a good deal.

 

[andrew8798]

Not a bad price

 

[Jcc2224Cody]

Wow... 350 for a Fort Max... never thought I'd see the day.

I'd get it if I cared. XD

 

[GNT]

Never been a Fort Maximus fan so i'll prob pass on that one.

 

[Jcc2224Cody]

Went to a Flea Market in my area and got a chance to glance upon a G1 Sixshot in the flesh. The guy was asking 22 bucks for a freaking Gen. Kup, so I didn't even want to ask about Sixshot. But once I said "This is Sixshot!" one of the guys said "He identified him on the spot"... assuming they, or others, had some trouble. XD

 

[andrew8798]
