OMG! Awesome pic dude. That's the kind of stuff that I like to see. I really like some of the South American minis but I'm not going to collect those due to cost. There have been a bunch on eBay lately and I've been seeing what they sell for. You've probably won a few of those yourself. If a blue/white Mexican Huffer ever shows up though you may be bidding against me on that. lol. That is my favorite South American variant. The Devastator colored Brazilian Gears amuses me as well.

I'm facing a dilemma. After I finish off my 1984 pre-rub minibot set I'm debating about getting the 1985 minibots or continuing my 1984 pre-rub collection with Optimus, the Autobot cars, Megatron, Soundwave, Seekers and cassettes. I'd like both but I'm kind of leaning towards the later.

Thus begins my descent into madness. I haven't collected G1 TFs in about a decade and sold all that I had. I've been scratching my TF itch with Masterpiece/Binaltech in the last few years. I've enjoyed collecting many things over the years but nothing as much as G1 TFs. Just when I thought I was out they pulled me back in.

I have this Warpath with discolored gray parts, they have turned a lovely shade of bronze/gold. I don't know what has caused the discoloration, maybe the previous owner had it on display, but the red parts are not faded:

Sorry again for the poor quality of the pic, used my mobile phone.

Superquad- love the Reflector pic under your name! We need a Reflector fan club!

Do you find it strange that Reflector was a Polaroid though?

I took this pic several years ago, when I opened my Encore 10 set:

I sold all of them except for the Bee. Now that I'm collecting Mini-bots, I'm looking for a good deal on an MISB one, hehe.

I hope people haven't gotten sick of seeing my G1 Bumblebee pics, hehe. Anyway, I recently got another pre-rub/1984 yellow Bumblebee:
