    I found someone selling custom missiles on eBay that are the same length as the vintage ones, but are retro-fitted for the new launchers. That might be an option to consider?

    Yeah, I hated the big ugly missiles for the Walmart reissue. I ended up creating 3D printed replacements that look like the original G1 missiles for mine.

    edit: oops, I see someone already posted these.

    Anyone have any experience with TFKingdom g1 stickers?
    I have seen they tend to be cheaper than toyhax but don't know about quality or anything. Just wondering if they are worth a shot.. For instance, Dreadwind stickers are $6+$3 mail to Europe. Toyhax are $10+$6 mail to Europe.
    TF Kingdom - Search Results for "sticker"

    Or PM Optimus Prime are $22 vs $40

    Take a peek at this little beauty I picked up from a friend for my birthday a few days ago. I believe Afterburner was one of the first transformers I was ever gifted as a kid. Holiday memories :)  DDB043FE-167F-47FA-803A-8525CB891BC4.jpeg 0B5C6F4E-024F-4D9E-B1BB-9D47B86EDE81.jpeg 02CF488C-B9CB-45CA-B74C-92977BE2509D.jpeg 47AE4033-9645-43C9-A592-4DF22162D96D.jpeg

    I'm curious as well. I would welcome any suggestions of alternatives to ToyHax, since they decided to stick it to Florida on shipping.

    Masterforce Sixknight with Quickswitch labels. Just the shoulders stickers are different from the original (red circles vs blue) but it's fine for me. 20221227_132701.jpg 20221227_131705.jpg 20221227_132503.jpg 20221227_131209.jpg 20221227_131442.jpg 20221227_130853.jpg

    How is the quality of the most recent Walmart reissue Astrotrain... The one that comes in standard colors? Is there much difference between it and an original G1?

    I don't have the original to compare, but the quality of the reissue Astrotrain is very well made. No issues whatsoever.

    Those piledrivers on Rumble and Frenzy are cool! Where did you find them? Also, very nice set of Decepticons!
