    Theyre 100% safe. I needed one more shelf honestly. The rubber tires have them glued in place though.

    Actually looking again, all the tires are on the shelves its just the angle making it seem more severe

    Alts are like land, they ain't making any more. Alternator preservation is the responsibility of all of us.

    ah yes...I remember hearing reviewers complain on YouTube about that too, the site crashed at that time. And many end up having to buy on Ebay too

    God bless, that makes me feel old. It seems like just yesterday I was collecting this line while also feeling like nearly an eternity away.

    I dont really need a new Alternator or Binaltech as an anniversary thing, but it would be cool to see one in Legacy for such a thing. Honestly, just getcha a BT-01 and have your own party there. Think you'd be glad you did! :) 

    It's still a buyer's market. Just recollect em :) 

    Nice that you pulled em all back out!

    Think I'd agree here.

    Eeeeyyuuuppp. As long as I'm here, ill be holding the candle at least :) 

    It was nuts. And when it and Alt Rodimus both were up, our board here was like a chat room. We were all here just posting in live time. Just nuts!

    Oh I still have my 20 year old BT-01 (Smokescreen and Jazz are the 2 BTs I've not let go yet), I just want to replace it with a mint one where the blue hasn't faded giving some panels (though not all) a greeny hue and which isn't covered in paint chips.

    I still need to finish my custom. I haven't had much time to work on toys this year. Using a 1:32 pull back and go subaru and a cyberverse prowl. Honestly when that interview said they had made a 1:32 Smoky back in the day and it never made it past prototype... it took some of the wind out of my sails. That would be perfect for Legacy.

    I can totally relate. I've had to put a lot of my own collecting on hold for the same reason. Good news for you is the market for Alts/BTs has been this way for quite a while, so you should be good if/when you can collect :)

    Eh, at this point I’m not seeing any reason to collect Transformers anymore. No offense.

    You got it, man. I know all too well how one's situation can suck the life out of all of the other things one may otherwise find refuge in. Hope things improve for ya soon. You can always come in here to chill and have fun.

    Is the human figure an official figure or a kitbash?

    Is it possible to get a Bt-17 at a decent price (~500?) nowadays?
    I am probably dreaming…
