    With the voyager Silverbolt coming out that actually combines into Superion, what are you doing with the old one that isn't selling it or giving it away? I have absolutely no idea what to do with mine, so I'm interested to see what other collectors will be doing with theirs.

    I imagine most will keep him, having more than one version of a character is common.

    As for me I don't have one and I'm glad I didn't get one the Transformation is so lazy and that is not helped by the fact that he doesn't combine so there's no reason his Transformation shouldn't be more involved. So yeah only a Voyager Silverbolt for me.

    I will keep my Japanese version and sell my Hasbro one, if I can. The Hasbro one has been on eBay for weeks, nobody wants it.

    I enjoyed the original Universe Silverbolt.

    It was a good homage to the original toy, though the gimmick of the transformation sounds along with the lights did limit its potential.

    It's still a fun and easy toy.

    If I can't sell or trade it all I can do is hand it off to a friend or my kid...if it had been a figure I enjoyed I'd probably just toss it in my miscellaneous section...

    i got one with the intent to customize him into Overlord like this

    i got him and thought he was awesome so i got another one for the custom pile.

    i might still pick up a third and turn him into Thunderwing.

    It´s pretty cool looking toy with a very sleek looking alt mode, why shouldn´t I keep it?

    He'll stay on my second season shelf. The new Aerialbots will go on my third season shelf. The bigger question will be, what do I do with my Energon repaint Aerialbots. The same question will be asked of my Combaticons.

    Mine will stay on display as it's still one of my favorite modern TF toys.
    I've got dozens of Optimus Primes, Bumblebees, Soundwaves, Megatrons...I can have two Silverbolts. :)

    I have the Darkwind version of the mold, and I like it.
    One of the few Tf I have with the G1 sound. The robot mode is cool, even if the tf is G1 bumblebee easy.

    I'll be keeping mine as well. I already own the TFC Silverbolt as well as the "Henkei" Japanese Silverbolt, so having multiple Classics versions of one character is nothing new for Silverbolt or in general.

    I wish I had gotten Darkwing.

    I'll probably keep him, I actually like the figure for some strange reason.

    I think he'd make a passable Needlenose if he was repainted.

    I'll keep both my Takara and Hasbro ones. Can never have enough when it comes to classics. Heck, I am still eyeballing the TFC Superion, and already have both FP suits for the Energon versions. May end up with a whole lot of Attobot jets on the shelf.
