Whoa. He’s a stunner

 

He really is, like a lot of G1 toys when they’re found in pristine condition and the stickers are as good as they should be as if they were just unsealed

What's the story on that extra toe/tab under his right foot? None of my Astros had that.

(Nice shots, by the way).

 

Some of the Astrotrains had the "complex" foot, others didn't:

Even more on Astrotrain including the awesome hardcopy prototype seen in G1 catalogs (also written by that same crazy loon):

My battered Astrotrain that's missing a side panel.

 

Still bizarre to me to see other people post my articles  

But yes, I had to borrow a leg panel off another Astro as this one was 99% perfect, but had a spoiled rubsign, and the only other good one I had access to was a different mould! Hence the difference in the moulding under the foot on each leg. It's gonna bother me, but I can't sort another perfect Astrotrain with ease, so it'll have to do

Sweet picture. I really want a G1 Hound.

One of the best things about toy collecting is the paperwork they came with. Some really rare stuff out there too.

 

Yes absolutely! There are still catalogues I've never owned from the UK run.

Inferno and Grapple

 

Opened the Hot Rod reissue I ordered today. I also ordered a Starscream, but it wasn't delivered for whatever reason.

Also pictured is a RID Rollbar I got for $5 SGD. Not G1 per say, but it's a G1 mold so i say it counts.

 

Spike looks like he has boobs in that last pic.

Great pics though!

 

I love to look at the booklets and especially the old ads. Like this one with a very tall Superion.

 

Last night, I made a lightbox, which I have dubbed "The World's Ugliest Lightbox".

Here are some pictures of reissue Swerve taken with it:

 

NO, I f'ing hope not.

 

 My Blaster and box are minty. Just don’t have the bloody insert. It driving me crazy trying to find one. Ack.

 

I will happily purchase it for the advertised price of $7.99!
