    Wow, that Trypticon box is impressive.
    You don't see awesome packaging like that anymore.

    Thanks for the support guys!

    And now I have a question too!

    Japanese G1 Dinobots: How much would you say these are worth? Specifically, Slag and Sludge.

    well, besides a select few, the hasbro, and takara, g1's, from 84, until 86, are not all that different from each other. so there really is no way to tell if your japanese dinobots are the real japanese versions, or american ones, in a japanese box. i would suspect. i could be wrong though.

    but i imagine that would effect the value. unless they are sealed.

    You know, as much as I like Takara packaged figures, they command a premium over their Hasbro counterparts. I love the packaging and box design of Takara's G1 figures but I'm having a hard-time convincing myself they're worth the significant price difference. From my short research, it seems Takara figures are going for 50 to 75 dollars MORE.

    I just realized you said "Japanese" dinobots. Probably double the price.

    I was tempted to ask the same question, LOL

    I got this for about $120 but those creases on the flaps are bothering me. Probably going to replace him in the future when/if the opportunity comes.

    I will have to take this photograph again soon, as I've recently bought this fellow's gun.
