I just got this guy in from China.

Notes
- The cardboard is a flat finish, it's made of a durable stock, a bit thicker than TRU CS Starscream's.

- The cab has short pinned front wheels. (first set of rubber past the chrome bumper) The Prime and Ultra Magnus reissues all used a hybrid cab with thick pins ... this bootleg has nearly flush rims. This tells me this is made from a G1 1985 mold.

- The trailer has bubbles where the sticker was applied over screw holes.

- The sticker sheet and paperwork are in the front of the box, much like the New Year's Convoy from 2002.

- Other things like the factory flap crease, figure's position in the window, and back graphic's size have all been covered in the past.

exactly. To this point, all of his auctions are selling out in under 15 minutes ... mostly because of us. for $130 + $45 shipping ... you can get an original in the $200 range. Buying a black Prime from this guy at $175 would be nuts.






anyhoo, here's the loot from Friday and Saturday

It's not that bad. I was very surprised. I'm tempted to open it up and shoot it.

Pictures are not necessary. Just post up your choices. I'm curious to see what everyone's opinions are.

Three 00 Primes, Three TRU Primes... you need two more NYP's and one more Pepsi Prime. Gotta keep up the pattern! Three is the magic number after all. :crazyr:

WOW. That is one big pile o loot for future big-dollar sales on e-bay. It's like looking at a TF-Plasticrack CD. Did you get a 1 year or 3 year Plasticrack CD?

(BTW, that looks like one sweet computer table you have there.)

The best item of Andrew's haul is the Optimus Cuddles sleeping bag.:hugglez:

That KO Optimus is really sweet. I was looking at it, and I had a flashback of being at Venture in 1984...I want one now.

I'm definitely looking forward to my to KO Primes after seeing the better pictures.

I want an Optimus sleeping bag. I would sleep in it every night.

I bought one of those last year. It's a cool alternative to play with, lots of dicast on it. The only things is that the joints are so loose that robot mode can't stand on it's own.

Yeah, the seller makes that pretty clear though. Anyway, Megatron's robot mode looks like ass. I'm interested in the real-looking gun mode that could easily get me shot by a cop.
