Botcon Sideswipe & Sunstreaker

Recommended Posts

Saw these two on the German eBay site today:

10 Euro each and I am expecting that the shipping will not exceed 10 Euro. 10 Euro is roughly $12.

 

Seeing how these are loose they are of course worth less but I thought this was a pretty sweet deal. $12 for a Botocon exclusive and a pretty sweet one at that.  :clap

 

What do my fellow collectors think?

they went pretty cheap, pretty good cxos they're complete

i just recently aquired those two. sideswipe mib for 30, sunstreaker misb for 50. you got a good deal. i saw a loose botcon sunstreaker go for $76 once. that was unreal.

$76, that is unreal indeed.

 

Seeing you aquired Sideswipe for 30 would mean that the value did go down a bit but it is not just the value I bought these for. If I had, I would re-sell them immediately.  :tftongue

 

It is more the fact that will now finally own 2 Botcon exclusive toys and pretty cool ones at that.  :clap

 

And 10 Euro a piece is a steal. RID Prowl went for that price here.

What an amazing offer!

Got them in today and they look awesome in vehicle mode due to the perfect hommages. The robot mode suits them a bit less but it is still cool.

 

However, I compared them with online pictures and the piece that the hinge for the car roof (and front windshield) is white on both of them. This of course ruins the car modes a bit.

 

I noticed that it should be colored but it appears to be just a thin layer over the white. Does anyone know anything about this? Does this piece come off easily?

I need Botcon Sunstreaker, I allready got Botcon Sideswipe

Just noticed something odd.

 

The flame missiles on my Sideswipe are completely clear. But on the pictures on BWTF.com and www.tfu.info they are yellow with white tips.

 

I checked tfu and none of the version of this mold listed there have clear missiles. Could this be a fluke of some kind?

 

And the colors of the hood and door panels does not match perfectly It is more cleasr on Sunstreaker that it is not the same yellow. I personally think he is the lesser of the two.

 

Especially considering he has an indent on his roof while Sideswipe lacks this.

 

Still they are neat bots to add to my collection considering I paid relatively little for them.

 

Xbob, I hope you manage to find Sunstreaker. I would think he is the rarer of the two seeing how he was only given to people who booked a hotel room. As much as I like the character, the toy does have a few flaws. Not major ones, it is an excellent mold but for the prices he is generally going he should have been flawless.

 

Just thought I should mention that. Good luck with your hunt.  :thumb

I can't help you with the clear missle part, but I did want to say I'm jealous.  I don't have any exclusives.
