    Yeah, I just got these. Will paint them soon. And I agree, these oversized KOs scale much better with the leader figures.

    Agree. I grew up on the US cartoon, and only discovered Victory and Masterforce recently. I fell in love with the figures almost instantly. I prefer the size, heft, and uniqueness of most Jap exclusives over the smaller US figures.

    Yeah same. Compare the 89 victory line to USA 89 line. Miles apart!

    True, but for a near complete Soundwave for $15, I went for it. I just see it as Soundwave post battle.

    Oh yes, no doubt. I just wouldn't be able to cope with such a damaged figure in my collection. I like mine minty as possible :)

    Honestly, there are some figures that I'm just glad to have A version of. I like my bots minty, too, but I don't mind a little battle scars from eons of Cybertronian war :wink:

    A very large portion of my G1 our my original figures from my childhood, so either I bought them, received as gifts or traded for with friends and bought some from friends as well. They do mean more to me then a lot of the other ones purchased since

    Perhaps the Soundwave is post Deathshead beating!

    All figures need love, even the beat up ones!

    Yep, transforming is good enough to me. I didn't grow up in the era, so I'm just happy getting what I can find at a good price.

    Pretty stoked to get a Diaclone without paying $400 for a boxed one. Paid 83 and got his instructions but no wings or Inchman. Probably too much *shrug*. If anyone has spare wings to sell, let me know.
