    wish reprolabels would offer a upgrade set just for the throttlebots instead of putting one or two in each set to make us have to buy them all. kinda crappy. maybe someone can do something about this problem ...............bryce :D

    I'm not surprised. Except for a lone Montgomery Ward Kickback, Kay-Bee had the highest mark-up of any store during. G1's time.

    That last shot is quite epic! Which release is this Sixshot?

    It's a good thing we have Bryce here on our (G1) side to help convince Reprolabels to put out more G1 stickers. It's been quite a while since we've seen new G1 stickers for sale. I've bought almost the whole selection of G1 stickers from them (it's an addiction)...now to think of it, my wallet's going to cry again.

    Haven't been taking many photos for the past 1-2 weeks.

    These Dual-Targetmasters have been lying around for more than a month. Finally got down to shooting them

    Typical Sixshot-preferring donut-ery.

    He didn't even fold the feet down!

    You know this solitary defence of Greatshot would be a damn sight easier if I actually HAD one.

    All the best

    Can't we all just agree that Sixshot and Greatshot kick equal amounts of ass? Lol

    I never fold the feet down on my Sixshot. I think it looks kinda silly with puma paws as feet.

    Awesome stuff.
    I love these guys. One of the most underrated G1 groups, especially Quake.

    As a late bloomer (born in 84) those late targetmasters were some of my first Transformers and I absolutely adore them! Great shots you guys!

    While researching Dinoking figures (I need yokuryu) I found some cool shots on a Japanese site swapping the combiner parts between Dinoking and Monstructor...thought I'd share since many of us would be too scared to dismantle the GPS guys ;)

    Personally, I really like that last one with the black parts on Monstructor and his regular yellow head... Dinoking, however, looks terrible in pink ;)

    that's the original hasbro release.

    love the con jr targetmasters, needlenose is a pain to get without yellowing. (and with the fin lol) but i really enjoy the set. i love the bot ones too

    i prefer them in, so then the cab looks like his feet, takes away the bell bottom look imo

    on the reprolabels note, i've been trying to get the missing sets together for them, but there are a lot i don't own original sheets for, if you have them, let me know, i can see what i can do.

    Ranger, i am getting in the mail this week, so i will see what i can do to get his set done, looks like the side spoiler labels are different, anything else?
