That was what I was thinking too. Then I started thinking...I already have doubles that I'm going to sell...but have been too lazy to list...so why get more that will sit around?
I'm going to start listing some stuff soon, get rid of what I have to sell before buying more to sell... AFA P-King, some TFC doubles (last chance Ham
)...

... :love: ... :crazyr:The more and more I look at the actual toy, the more I believe it was casted from an original press. I found a few flaws, but those flaws are found in all MISB 1985 originals ... but not found in the reissues.

heads up ... with the current Chinese prices, this is about the going rate.
Blue eyes = NYP
normal = G1-ish (just like mine)

That's insane. $30-$40 more and you have the real thing. That's like paying almost full price for a Gucci purse, but buying the KO to save $5. Granted the other versions like the clear, gold, etc. would be cool, but they're still KOs. Hell, they'll probably go for like $250.

BUT...Buying a good BL in a variant that never made it to a legit issue, is a different thing. That's like buying a whole different TF. Might as well call the gold one "Goldmember Prime". It looks like this run of Chinese BL's are using authentic molds from back in the day. The only thing making these BL's different from the legit versions is that they lack Takara/Hasbro's stamp of approval.
Shiny gold, silver...transparent...full metal...translucent... those are
