very true, if i got a set of repros, i don't even think i would be that proud of them, it's like yay...i got a ko of something really rare, kinda like the ko Liokaisers that are out now to a lesser degree, fun to fiddle with, but no sense of pride in owning them

 

I would agree with you. For stuff this rare, it's usually the hunt that makes it worth getting. And then the stories afterwards about the hunt.

So how would you all feel if Takara/Tomy ended up reissuing the HMs in a giftset along with a ehobby exclusive white HM giftset.

 

points to re-issue Stepper/Ricochet, worthless re-issues no one cares about  

 

I'd buy the reissue heads and the e-hobby heads if they were made. I'm quite the fiddler with my toys, and I'd hate for something really rare to break or start getting loose joints.

Doesn't mean I wouldn't like the originals as well. But those will have to wait until my midlife crisis.  

 

Agreed. I have Gurafi and Noizu. I have them displayed in combined mode. I did not purchase them sealed but I can tell that I am the first to combine them. Talk about stress. I was worried when I transformed them and worried I would scratch the weapons when I put them on. If I had a knockoff of them it would have helped. I either would have kept them in the boxes or in dino mode. BUT the biggest problem will be some jackass trying to pawn them off as originals....
I ABSOLUTELY HATE THAT!!!!

 

A friend of my reprod my dino cassette weapons but didn't chrome them so that you can tell they are reprod. It's one of the major issues he has when he decides what to reprod and what not to. He has some interesting ways of making it know just from some pictures.

 

Shuffler's been popping up on auctions but nobody been buying him for the asking prices. So that's sort of good and bad.

 

I saw the non-white one a few times...
Wasn't he asking for something like $1400 ?

 

Been seeing prices from $500-$1000. Personally don't think he's worth $1000. $500 is another story. He's fun and cool but you really really really got to want him to get him.

I like mine on a mindwipe body. Goes really well.

 

Nice!
Always thought Kirk or Loafer might look nice on Chromedome

 

Trizer on Snapdragon or Apeface

 

I would definitely pick up doubles of those HM toys for the heads to use as Transtectors. Maybe get custom paint jobs for them commissioned.

 

Yeah!
Like an orange & dark grey Brainstorm for Lione!
That'd be shweeet!

 

Always had that idea but still busy finishing up G1. Once I'm done and bored, I'll start customizing spare HM bodies for all my jap HMs.

 

my first shuffler.....how i miss it lol. im glad its with hotspot. my second one isnt as nice as the first one....youd be surprised at what shuffler was going for. one ended for 150000 yen. that converts to 1500 usd!

 

150000 yen!!!! OMG!

 

 

White shuffler was at botcon 2009 for 1200 i believe.

 

im shocked that you didnt buy it cz! yet you still buy lucky draws......crazy guy.

 

It actually sold for not much less than that.....
