Haha don't worry man, it's looks sweet still. Never even noticed. I actually just bought a case similar to this for my cassettes thanks to this pic. I really like how it showcases your minis. Can't wait for mine to arrive. It will be the centerpiece of my collection.

 

Thanks!   I've noticed that the LEDs are having a bit of trouble adhering to the wooden shelves, I'm gonna have to find some kind of glue or something to hold them up, and still need to print off some of the cybertron backgrounds to put in there so it matches my Detolfs.

 

Thanks for the info. The joints aren't too bad. The legs are nice and tight and the arms can hold a raised pose as long as the figure isn't moved around much. Head flap isn't too loose either.
Good to know about the tires too. And that I definitely got a good deal buying it for 30p. The only disappointment is I spotted it in a box of diecast cars from about fifteen feet away and initially hoped it might be a Bumblejumper until I got close enough to see it wasn't. Still, it was a good find regardless.  

 

anyone seen that MOSC IGA Cliffjumper on eBay, just wondering how rare are carded IGA minibots?? I suspect these like the Antex ones were imported to Europe and these are the ones appearing on eBay these days?

 

Pretty rare. Sometimes they turn up on Ebay, mostly from sellers in Mexico.

 

Most the carded IGA examples I have seen come from the Netherlands, like the one your looking at. Pretty rare finding any limited release minis carded except the Antex, those are rare to see loose unless collectors open them to display.I don't believe those were ever released in quanity when they were first produced. Just manufactured, carded and sat in boxes for some reason until they were found in quanity a few years ago.

 

thanks for the info.

heres my small minibot colection, hope to collect one of each different carded release by different licensed companies and Hasbro subsidiaries ,so far there are five different types of releases from G2 (USA), Antex (Argentina), El Greco (Greece), Fun4all (USA), Joustra Diaclone (France)

need a Takara (Japan), Estrela (Brazil), Milton Bradley (Spain or Netherland), French Canada Hasbro, after that some ultra rare South American ones...

Anyone can help let me know

G2 Seaspray has sentimental value. I hope to get more different carded minibots from South America, Europe and Canada, as well as some nice loose TFs.

 

^^ Nice little start you have there.

 

hey was the Zhong Jin KO red Beachcomber released on a card?

also I remember reading and seeing old stock photos of a red Beachcomber, whats the history with this red Beachboy?

 

As far as I know the red beachcomber was in some of the original catalogs, but was never actually released. As for the KO when I bought mine it came with no card.

 

there is a picture if anyone is interested on

Early G1 Decepticon Jets - Prototypes, Pre-Production and Early Release

Ctrl+F PART 2 : THE SERIES 2 CONCEPTS AND PROTOTYPES



might sound terrible but I wouldnt mind seeing those pre-production minibots KOed and carded , especially that Seaspray

I could of swore I remembered seeing more catalogue pictures but I cant seem to find them....

 

I don't know why they never KO'd that seaspray they made the beachcomber, cosmos, and powerglide.

 

One day I need to get an open set of ehobby minis to display out of the box. Ive got a sealed set displayed with my other ehobby recolored g1s but can't find it in me to open it up and pull the figures out. Lol.

 

Come on man tear that bandaid off. I can't keep anything sealed I'm like a kid on Christmas.

 

I love Minibots, especially Powerglide and Warparth, but I've always felt that the similar-sized Gobots are superior to the G1 Minibot Transformers.

Leader-1, Turbo, Pathfinder, Royal-T, Buggyman, Cy-Kill and Cop-Tur are some of my favorites. The names are often silly and the cartoon was terrible, but the small-scaled toys were great.

 

That's tough to do. It would leave a gap in my collection I doubt my OCD could handle. 

Gobots are cool for sure. I just traded my remaining collection to a board member and it was hard to say goodbye to them. As far as superiority goes, there is just something about minibots that has me hooked. Their simplicity is part of their charm.

 

Yeah i see Turbo that is the way your collection is going I don't blame you for not wanting to crack it open.
@Gort Gobots are cool because there such a heavy die-cast, but to me they lack the detail of G1 minis.

 

That's an awesome collection! I really like the e-Hobby reissues. I've thought about collecting them myself. Anyway, I totally agree about the minibots. I love their simplicity, and I've fallen in love with them so much that I'm changing my collection focus to strictly MIB Series 1 Autobot cars and sealed/graded minibots. Here are a couple of nice sealed pre-rubs.

 

Damn nice. Is that brawn graded?

 

I actually sold that Brawn recently, and the buyer was going to have it graded. It would get a strong 80 at minimum...perhaps a borderline 80/85. Anyway, I keep all of my figures in display cases, so some might look like they've been graded even when they haven't.  

Here are a couple of "rough around the edges" sealed minibots that arrived today. Regardless of condition, sealed pre-rubs are still a rare find. I actually have a nicer pre-rub Windcharger (beautiful card) and a yellow Bumblebee with minispy coming soon.
