    Lots of cool pics in these last few posts!

    I love the telephone set. And that Jetfire looks fantastic - my Jetfires all have at least some yellowing.

    Very nice (and white) Jetfire, Justin! It's at the top of my list right now, as I still don't have one.

    Does anyone here have Platinum Predaking? Is he the diecast version of the mold or the all plastic version?

    Thanks guys. He is a nice one. I was picky before I bought one. The box is obviously not mint but the toy is really nice. He did have an issue with his front landing gear not wanting to stay folded up but fortunately my friend is an engineer and fixed it pretty easily...along with my Tracks.

    He is one of the die-cast versions. In fact, almost to a fault, as he is very floppy and top-heavy (at least mine is). But still, he's pretty great.

    Thanks, I'll pass on the Platinum and chase down the all plastic version.

    I'm always terrified of that much gold! I think third party companies need to get in the business of replacement parts for GPS figures.

    Cool score though!

    It's like looking at pictures of grenades with the pins pulled.

    What would you guys say is roughly a fair price for a mib black Zarak in maybe c-7, c-8 condition?

    Didn't Darkov do a ton of replacement parts? And I think he basically said that if someone sends him the parts to scan he can make duplicates.

    Unfortunately, there were some issues and he couldn't fulfil the later orders. I was one of them when I placed my order back then. It was a very disappointing experience as there was basically no communication and took a long while to get my refund (probably with the help of the mods here). After a series of ordeal with BZs, I decided to just get myself a MIB BZ to save myself the trouble.

    The result of the ordeals...

    Cool. Also cataloged the Target $16.99 price (2 bucks higher than the Child World price). Anyone else have boxes from 1986-88 that have pricetags on them?
