No, I'm also a collector. But the main reason I bought it is to A. add to my collection, and B. beacuse I know it is worth more than I paid for it. Seems like a good idea to me.

 

By the way, so you know, money is an important thing in this world. If you can make $100 for virtually doing nothing, last time I checked, thats a good thing.

No, the head couldn't have fallen down. Thats the thing. As you can see in the pic, it would have had to been like that before the bubble itself was sealed to the card because there is not enough room for the head to fall down because of the bubble.

ok, kool. i still think you're nutty as hell, lol. but a fan is a fan is a fan, so keep doing whatever makes ya happy man, and good luck in the future yo! :thumb

I didn't even realize the "head problem" when I saw it in the pic and bought it. Just wierd. Either way, its a cool toy. Probably keep it for a while than put it up on ebay. I need to stop with the expensive toys. I can't afford to keep collecting these damn things.

Okay, there you go.  That is not Bumblejumper. What is Bumblejumper?  I thought it was a yellow Cliffjumper.

Bumblejumper or Bumper is actually a different mold to both Bumblebee and Cliffjumper and officially was never released in teh Transformers line, he's just a mispackage.

Mmm.. yellow Cliffjumper fresh.

 

ToyFare magazine once answered this question in one of their FanFare letters pages - basically, factory anomalies like these are NOT any more valuable (and probably less valuable). The reason? Demand. Most MISP collectors want toys packaged correctly in the correct packaging. How many people here actively seek to collector packaging anomalies? I mean, if you found one you would keep it (a friend of mine has a G1 Slingshot packaged on a First Aid card), but it's otherwise worthless because the demand for such figures is negligable.
