Twin Twist and Top Spin are extremely common figures to the English speaking collectors out there. Nearly every lot you buy has a few of them thrown in just to get rid of them. But, in Argentina, there were some really cool recolors of these molds.
So for today’s Featured Ebay Auction, we actually have three auctions featuring the various recolor Jump Starters. All auctions come from seller argentostore. Check out G1 Salt-Man Z, G1 Robot-Man X, and G1 Robot-Man Z.

Ah, okay. Jumpstarter Decepticon G2 Redux then. Anyway, their symbols now match the packaging.

Again, congrats to the buyers!

Bought Robot Man X to go w/ my Salt Man X. Now I gotta decide if I should open it or not once it arrives…
Joe Moore
Yes, it should be. That was a spelling mistake on my part. Fixed.

Hmmm. Shouldn't it be "Argentinian?" I could be wrong, but "Argentian" refers to something silver (e.g., BT Argent Meister).
Sidecutter
Ah, these are actually G1 though. In other countries, that style of logo actually came before Generation 2 began.

This is one of the coolest threads ever. Jumpstarters FTW!
I know there are some happy collectors out there already judging by those auctions
Backscatter
Already have these. Noticed they were G2! Bought Reprolabels G2 Decepticon symbols for them.

Already had the Salt-Man Z from years back thanks to a friend who surprised me with it. Not too torn up about mizzing Robot Man Z (pretty normal colors on him…same as the US I think), but I'm pleased to have just added Robot Man X to my collection!

saltman? twintwist got a new job?
Joe Moore
I was more referring to Ebay. I had bought "lots" for years, mainly when I was selling at toy shows. At one point I had a plastic bin filled with nothing but Twin Twist's and Top Spin's because of it. Drove me crazy.
seeker311
anyone else see he's got an old Shockwave for sale?

Try a 'G1 lot' eBay search.

Is that true? I don't see anyone trying to sell topspin on the Junkion Exchange.

Maybe in U.S. or Europe. In Brazil, we can find these in a very low price. Without the package of course.
