I have a sealed sandstorm but the box is trashed. Need a new box for it. I have seen a few graded Sandstorms that are tape sealed. There was one that had the spanish reissue put in a US box. It was easy to spot though due to the rub symbol not being present.

Might Gaine Yes that Prowl should look familiar!  

 

Outstanding collection! Wish my G1s still looked that good!

 

I noticed you have a pre rub Soundwave with a ® box?

 

yup. It is tape sealed and not qualified. I would assume it is kind of like the cross ratchet in the no cross box. Probably a transition piece of some sort.

 

can you tell us the grades?

 

So this collection is probably worth at least $80,000.00 on today's market...but probably closer to $100,000.00. Amazing!!!!

 

I just got my first AFA graded TF last night for my birthday from a friend...I never knew how awesome those cases are! I'll never be able to match your collection, but congrats. I know you spent a lot of time (& money) putting that impressive collection together!

 

thats a truely awsome collection and would hate to think of the money you shelled out for it!

true dedication to the cause id say!

 

wrong post

 

I've only seen 3 legitimate examples of a pre rub vehicle inside a ® box that was MISB.

Do you know where this Soundwave originated from?

 

AMAZING Collection!
How long did it take you to acquire all 140 items?

 

G1 is King!

And as far as I'm concern, your G1 AFA/CSG collection is the best I've seen. Congratulations!

Oh, BTW, I don't have much but I have an AFA85 Grimlock (with clear inner blister) =)

 

Here are some of the grades. I will post more as time permits. Thanks for all the kind words! I should have some new stuff to post soon as well.

Not a fan of keeping Transformers in their boxes, but this is a very impressive collection. You also seem very proud of this, and you should be. Thanks for sharing.
