Just received Red Bumblebee and Getaway

 

Just going to drop this here since it's a rather prevalent problem with Mirage.

 

For anyone that may have missed it on the front page...

Hasbro is reissuing two of the Japanese Dino-cassettes on a nice G1-Style card. You can pre-order them online now.

Transformers Vintage G1 Mini-Cassettes 3-Pack Gurafi, Noizu, Decepticon Frenzy

Someone in the thread mentioned that Kapow toys has confirmed that the other two Dino-cassettes will be released later in "wave 2", whenever that is.

 

Probably the only way to get them without paying hundreds and HUNDREDS. Even for the KOs!

 

So glad you enjoyed it!  

Next one will be up before too long!

 

Broadcast and Radio-Cassette Robo

 

Ah... now I know what the holes in Blaster's rifle were for (originally).

Cool.

 

Today I learned that G1 Jetfire had the Macross pilots' names under the windscreen!

 

I don't know if I'd trust a person on this one, a lot can happen in almost two years and this is a sizeable chunk of change. There are companies that do forwarding in the USA, not sure if they will do something this size but a long standing company is the direction I would go in. I'm sure some people here would be able to give some recommendations.

 

I'm sure that was added in later by the owner, along with the cheap UN Spacy symbols on the wings (early versions of Jetfire did have those symbols along with a pointier nosecone, but they didn't look like that).

 

Are the Walmart G1 reissues limited supply?

Just wondering because some I've only seen once at the store. After, I don't see them again.

 

The Minibots were released in all my local stores several different times over a couple months. Hot Rod and Optimus Prime were either shelf warming, or kept in stock at 2 stores, while the other stores didn't seem to carry them. I never saw Starscream or Devestator in stores, but they were both available on walmart.com. Starscream was listed in stock for a long time, but Devestator seemed to sell out quickly.

 

I'da bought that Starscream too had I known it came with gun mode Megs before it was sold out.

 

So this is all I’ve got left now.

The great thing is most of these are vintage, not reissues, so my plan to build an all vintage collection should proceed quickly. My priority will be figures I don’t have, of course. I may eventually replace the reissues, but I like the ones I have for now. Gonna start with minibots and autobot cars, I think!

 

Havent posted here in awhile..lol.
My fave version vis a vis the Book Style Convoy and 2002 New Year's blue eyed version with the Prime Action Master.



 

 

Cool collection

 

These are excellent, buddy!

 

Yeah, those look like the extra decals included in maybe the Yamato 1/48 releases or Bandai 1/55 reissues.
