Boogers - I never saw the G2 Sideswipe, I thought it was still coming. I'll look around then, thanks for the tip.

I recall the influx of G2 Sideswipe was from the volunteers who got a set for volunteering that year. There were probably some stolen sets from the factory too that was sold on the market. There hasn't been a KO set of the Sideswipe or the Minerva that has been made. The molds were KO'ed but not in the colors of the G2 Sideswipe or Minerva.

Only thing that was signed was a waiver saying FP wasn't liable for any injuries occurring during the class, if you were get cut putting a pin in or stuff in your eye, etc etc.

Anyways, they can be had for cheap if you wait around and know where to look......yahoo.jpn.

Surprised so many WANT to sell it after spending all day assembling the thing. I guess if I could make $900 though...that competes pretty hard with sentimental value!

Exactly this. I like the figures my wife and I built...but that's 2/3rds of the rent for my shop and we need to buy some new fixtures. As much as we wanted to keep 'em there's too many other things we need more right now...
