    Whenever I see a picture of Skygarry I'm always asking myself why I didn't get it in Japan. The thing is so very common there with the wherehouse find a couple of years ago. A mint complete skygarry would start at ¥6300 (~$63) with regular prices for sealed on in the $80 range. Now whenever I look for one they are always $160+shipping :(

    Wow. I would pattern my display set up after this when I get my own flat next year. It would take decades for me to get my hands on the same figures, though...

    Heroic, what you've showed me is that the GPS parts on Monstructor can easily be replaced with parts from Dinoking, potentially dyed.

    Snagged an incomplete Overlord from a board member earlier this week.......just won the parts I need to finish him on eBay this morning. I can only think of one part that I forgot to verify if it was included or not that I can think of. Worst case; I still have one part to hunt down. Best case; I just completed an Overlord for a bit less than it costs to get one complete.

    Now it's just a matter of waiting for all the packages to arrive

    I NEED HELP!

    Can anyone give me the measurements of a Fort Max box. I've packed my one away and the drawings for my custom shelves have come back and I think they have fiddled with the sizes I requested.

    I need

    Height (Top to Bottom)
    Width (Left to Right)
    Breadth (Front to Back)

    Thanks for your help

    The only actual "G1" figures I own are Huffer and Gears. :p 

    However, I do have Brawn, Windcharger, Cliffjumper, and Bumblebee as keychain reissues, and the TRU exclusive Perceptor :D  Maybe I'll post pictures later on! I may not have much, but I'd love to be part of the fun! :)

    Nice pics Chris! I never much cared for Metroplex in robot mode but I like him a lot in base mode with the minibots.

    Pretenders...bleh.

    Very cool :) 

    Hey, I've seen a close up pic of the Waverider's Pretenders shell showing a difference in hair lightness between what I'm assuming is the US and Japanese releases. You can see it on the top right corner of page 43 of the Generation book. Does anyone have details on this possible variant? Or if anyone could translate the piece of text accompanying the pic, that would be great. I've been wondering about it for quite some time now...

    Thanks for the reply and the IM. Just to recap what we talked about for anyone else interested. The Masterforce Waverider has darker hair than the US released one. The other two Autobot shells are identical.
