    Thanks Jon. I noticed that about Morgan and Andy as well:) 
    Love Maz's Articles. I have to admit i loved the repaints as well in '85

    Cheers for the shout out, JK, and for the kind words Chef!

    Here's a challenge for you all, I once asked Cromagnus to send me a picture of the 3 Transformers figures I most desired to one day own in sealed condition, they were my first G1 toys - Starscream, Hub Cap and Smokescreen. Cro's image was heavenly and I shall post it again from home this evening.

    Can any of the rest of you create such an illustrious group shot? :) 

    All the best
    Maz

    Another great read Maz! It was good time being a kid if you were into Transformers in '85. I remember Mum trying to find Starscream but was impossible so I got Skywarp instead which ended up being my favourite TF in the end & still is today.

    Cool.

    So when you send them mailaways they open them?

    Is there anything to keep OP from banging against the case, or is he tight enough in the styrofoam so he won't move?

    My mail aways are open but unused. Some people have sent in sealed mail aways but keep them sealed. Yeah, OP is secure in his styrofoam. I try not to bang around any if my toys. The thing I like about mail aways is there are no tape issues. I hate that the price to grade them is so high and slow.
