Author: jetfire, August 15th, 2010

I’ve put together a list of AFA prices gathered from eBay sales records.  There are over 100 in the list and growing.   So far, I have Jazz, Mirage, Jetfire, Blaster, Wheeljack, Starscream, Soundwave to name a few… I have yet to see an Optimus Prime go up for sale. The list contains only G1 Transformers… [...]

Transformers Double Spy – Punch / Counterpunch Review (TFCC)

Author: starscream, August 6th, 2010

Finally got around to opening these guys, and despite all the remarks regarding the head and some quality issues; I think these were definitely worth every penny.  You can see them with their geewun counterparts below.  . Paint job homage is spot on and wouldn’t change a thing.  Both bot modes achieve the look they were [...]

THS-02 Hybrid Style Convoy (Optimus Prime)

Author: starscream, July 28th, 2010

Just got this in the mail today and it’s been a figure that I’ve wanted for a long time.  There’s plenty of reviews and pictures on the web about this figure already, so I’ll keep this short and to the point.  If you like Prime, figures with articulation galore, a plethora of accessories, and enough [...]

Detolf Shelf Update

Author: jetfire, October 3rd, 2009

I moved some figures around and added a few more.  I know, it’s crowded but I’m only allowed 1 Detolf.  =) Animated Leader Bulkhead, Fansproject City Commander w/ Classics Ultra Magnus, Animated Leader Megatron, Diaclone Red Sunstreaker.  And a bunch of BK kids meal toys (idogs and icy) to keep the fiancée happy. Computron, Defensor, [...]

Targetmaster Aimless (for Misfire)

Author: jetfire, September 17th, 2009

Misfire now has his targetmaster, Aimless.  I bought a loose Misfire off ebay 6 months ago for the price of $18.  Now he has Aimless.  He set me back another $38.  I think it’s a good price, $56 total.  I’ve seen the set sell for over $90 in the past few months. I put him [...]

G1 Bruticus

Author: jetfire, September 16th, 2009

Yo!  I got a sweet deal on a G1 Bruticus.  I picked him up on the TFW2005 forum for $50 shipped.  I think that’s pretty sweet.  He came in pretty decent shape (for the price).  It’s cheaper than the newly released Encore too.  I received all the pieces, including an extra (big) gun.  The extra [...]

Repairing your G1 Mirage’s broken waist

Author: jetfire, September 8th, 2009

Don’t throw that junker away.  If you have G1 Mirage with a broken waist that’s otherwise in decent shape.  It can easily be repaired.  All you need to do is buy a real junker with bad stickers, broken arms, bad chrome or paint – whatever!  As long as the waist joint is intact, you can [...]

G1 Mirage – images of 2 Mirages I bought on eBay

Author: jetfire, August 25th, 2009

As stated in the title, I purchased two complete G1 Mirage on eBay not too long ago. The first one was $30 shipped, the second $49 shipped. The only difference (I thought) was: the first one didn’t have any stickers applied and the second one had the extra tech spec and booklet. Both are complete [...]

God, post already…

Author: starscream, June 15th, 2009

Yah, we’ve been delinquint about posting any new topics.  Laziness has run amuck.  But we have still been actively purchasing and looking for transformers.  I still need to get ROTF Sideways.  Don’t know about any other ROTF toy though.  Botcon was definitely good to us.  You can see below, I finally obtained one of the [...]

Headmasters

Author: jetfire, March 30th, 2009

Here’s some love for Headmasters.  I picked up Brainstorm, Hardhead and Apeface on eBay about a month ago.  Brainstorm is complete and in good condition ($55).  Hardhead was purchased separately from Duros ($50) and is also complete but missing some stickers.  Apeface came only with Spasma ($25).  I’m missing the shield and gun… he’s in [...]
