    I wasn't put off by it at all actually... I just found the one statement to be rather humorous. Translated bluntly, it basically said: "We're not snobs, your shit's just not good enough to hang with us..." C'mon, is that not just a little funny to anyone? I'm not trying to whine, be a dick, or upset anyone...I just thought it was amusing. I guess I have a strange sense of humor.

    Heh... Well in 1997, $250 wasn't so much a deal... It was about the going rate. The Japanese dealers were still dumping off clearance G1 toys that no one wanted over there... Good times, good times....

    I agree wholeheartedly. :p 

    You know I get people telling me/commenting about the transformation process of G1s, about how "idiot-proof" they really are because you don't ever need to look at those instructions when you attempt to TF a toy piece.

    Da#@, Raiden proved otherwise. :redface2: 

    So who wants a Black Zarak? :ev: 

    I see him pretty often. (My humble Sales thread is an indication for truth be told) :p

    Only a single high-dollar G1 TF is required to be a member. Don't let the collections of some of the guys with 20+ grails discourage you :)  When they started out, they were like you!

    You're right, Automorpher - Raiden is fairly complex.

    Heck, G1 Devastator is about ten times as complex as the Scramble City combiners, really.

    And for some of us, that was 15+ years ago!

    I have sympathy for those who are just starting out. It is a much steeper mountain to climb now than it was when I started.

    Devy's easily one of my fave gestalts (with reference to your quote.) I found a reasonably priced D-37 Devastar giftset (Took me 11 years) but had held off a purchase as rumours of a possible Reissue is rife right now. :redface2: 

    Hey, that seemed like yesterday! :lol
