    I might have bought it but, I don't care to much for G1 figures.

    My poor old G1 Skids was secondhand to begin with. Always been tempted to spring for a new one.

    Yeah, my local TK Maxx had a couple of Skids in. I like the figure, and I wouldn't mind replacing my battered old one, but £20 seems steep. If it were Sideswipe... maybe.

    yeah I got one from TKMaxx today. Interesting that these guys must of been just sitting collecting dust for years before getting put on a ship here. Kinda makes me think of what else could be just sitting in storage maybe just forgotten

    TF toy history is littered with instances like this - last year cheap 'n' cheerful retailer Boyes had a pile of Armada videos with a free mini-con for 99p each, and I remember back in 1992 Woolworths unearthed a huge amount of Minibots on 1985 cards.

    I wonder what ever happened to all of those minibots on '85 cards. Probably a few eventually made it to AFA.

    I picked up Skids from TK Maxx last week. I really like him, i was put off by the small vehicle mode orginally, but I got him anyway as he's great in bot mode.

    Bay has some stupid ideas and movie skids as a character is lame.

    As for the G1, get him!!! He is a really good bot and for G1 is quite complex with good details. Also he is one of the more show accurate ones.
