    Just a FYI, the smoked version is awesome and still available at ToyDojo for $65. I don't usually go in on translucent versions but its just too good on Ravage!

    both. i believe the re-issue happened first and the cell version was announced/released shortly after. glit (SG) and the translucent ones followed.

    Other maybe but reissue of Condor is a definitely no from PSX, not selling well apparently.

    That one kind of makes sense. Ravage has the benefit of being the first cassette bot so it was fresh while Rumble and Frenzy have the pylons that allow them to be displayed quite differently. Laserbeak and Buzzsaw are a two pack that are identical and don’t have many unique display options. Laserbeak would have probably sold better on his own but then Buzzsaw would have sold extremely poorly. At least the other cassettes have sold well enough and got reissued so many times to allow the production of the main Autobot cassettes. I really want to see how they pull off Ramhorn.

    That's a shame! It's probably the best version of Laserbeak out there but the scale works against it in a big way. It's a great stand-alone or on the oddball shelf but it's hard to work it into a collection without looking silly.

    The birds were sitting at at BBTS for more than a year at about $79. They just sold out like last month though.

    The bird set seems to run about $100 on Ebay. Not too bad as late taxes go. 50 bucks a bird would be fantastic if you didn't have to buy 2! My Buzzsaw has never been transformed and is the only cassette in cassette mode in my entire collection! lol

    Ebay:
    Question:
    Anyone here has a spare leg to test or have disassembled the lower leg to know what holds the diecast to the upper leg. Looks like a pin…but too afraid to do on my copy with the fear of it wont go back together again.

    I’m looking to separate the diacast lower leg from the plastic upper leg to paint it.

    I’ve been working on a Steeljaw conversion kit using Jaguar. Would make painting much easier if I know if I can separate and put back together without any problems.

    Nice project you got going there! Looks awesome!

    I took a look at mine and it doesn't look like a standard pin. It's from the inside only. The outside looks like a cover of sorts. Even if you get the outside off, I'm not sure you'd have any success getting the pin/rivet out. Maybe just remove the pin you can see that is above the knee? Then at least you'd have the legs separated for painting. You'd still have masking to do but it would be easier.

    "Oh boy, the Jaguar thread got bumped, maybe there's gonna be a reissue." -- Me every time this thread pops up. (Just in case MMC is listening)

    Just the leg weapons would work really well for a Stripes repaint.

    So, since I can’t find the original black jaguar either to price it, how much would you guys be willing to pay for one? I have it, and honestly I love it, but I’m a little bit strapped for cash right now and I don’t have a clear place for it in my collection So I want to see if it makes sense to add it to my sales thread.

    Completed listings on eBay show 1 pre-owned sold for $130 CAD, and there are others.

    Just curious if this was ever KO’d. Most pictures I see have gray neck pistons and rear ankles, mine has black. I picked mine up used.
