    EBay auction. I bet you can still find it in the sold listings. One of those times when someone "found" a stash of G1 toys. I think there was a Hoist and Roadbuster also up for from the same lot, but as I said, this one was important to me. No one was outbidding me. The only question was what I was going to pay.

    AFA 80 MISB Mindwipe. I'm not really bothered by the interior cardboard being visible at the top. Seems to be common with this guy.

    I found this pic from a toy store back in the 80s and apparently Mindwipe had that issue back then.

    Perhaps he was too heavy?

    Rest of the cars and dinobots are all collect recently, in just three monthes。
    Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus are grade 80。
    All these small cars are grade 85 or up, jazz and Mirage are 90。those from year 1984 are all prerub version。rest of them from year 1985 are with rub。
    Both grimlock and swoop are 90 grade。
    All of them are MISB。
    Thank you for iamratchet, i bought most of my collection from him。

    And i am looking for Hound(NO RUBSIGN)、Skids(W/ RUBSIGN)、Optimus Prime(NO RUBSIGN、PEPSI)which are 85 or up grade. Also,if you have any 90 grade AFA want to sell, just leave me a message。

    I appreciate your hasbro collection very much. I'm not into takara. Does it bother you where the price tag is placed on that 90 grimlock?

    Well, the price tag does cover grimlock's face。i won't say it does not bother me, but for the afa collection, i am more concern on the grades。i am happy with the 90 90 95 grades。

    I absolutely agree that a 90 grimlock is extremely rare to find. I would just be cursing whoever put the price tag there for the rest of my life if I owned that. Of course, they probably never knew that people would be keeping them sealed so many years later.

    Your obsession with takara is a little annoying. Sorry to say but your takara collection pics don't do anything for me when you post them.

    Haha! I agree with you, but everything behind a reason,maybe that's the reason keep the grimlock not be opened and perfectly in so many years。

    All of that in just 3 months? You have a really nice collection of very high quality transformers. I enjoy seeing the HASBRO stuff too.

    Hi, don't get me wrong. It's an impressive AFA Hasbro collection (hence the wow) but thought abit of Takara might be interesrting.

    I could appreciate that. It requires abit of research.

    Didn't mean to upset anyone, :) .

    @zouling
    I especially enjoyed the AFA 90 swoop.
    Having missed one (though a Daiclone one) a few months back.

    ...and missed another MB version of the Deluxe Insecticon. Hope i don't end up with too much regrets
