    Hello,

    I got this Cliffjumper Instruction Booklet in a collection. It is flat paper stock and says 1985 on it. Does anyone know where this came from and what it may be worth? Thank you.

    Really? You don't know where it came from?
    Sigh. It's from G1 and probably worth like 2 bucks.

    Dude, G1 minibots didn't have instruction booklets. The transformation instructions were always on the back of the card. That's what would seem to make this a rare item. Happy to be corrected if wrong.

    Were there any mail-away promotions for Cliffjumper/any minibots? I remember some G1 toys were available as such, without the normal packaging of the in-store toys.

    Seems this instruction sheet could be part of something like that, or maybe it's just a little photocopy project made by someone who wanted ALL their TFs to have the folding instruction sheets.

    EDIT: checking Tfwiki, it seems there was a Cliffjumper available for sending in robot points.

    Going from memory, I believe that is how I got my cliffjumper.

    There were mail ins for the mini bots. This may be one of the original mail in instruction sheets that came with them.

    I'm guessing mailaway, because that's how you could get it in Canada too with instructions:

    Can't remember if the Listen N Fun Cliffjumpers came with instructions...

    All the best

    Thanks for the information folks, unfortunately Wheeljack on eBay has a incorrect listing relating to this.

    These were U.S mail away minibot toys (I think 3 toys like in Japan), its a pity no one has a photo of them unused
