Oh man, seeing these are killing me as the aerialbots were my favorite combiner as a kid. I need to find a job...FAST!!!

Ever since I was a kid, the Aerialbots have always been my favorite G1 combiner; both in the cartoon and the toys. Just the ideas of jets transforming to robots and then to a super-robot always fascinated me. I even owned Airraid as a kid. Well being 37 now, the idea still excites me just like it did when I was 11 years old. Granted, I do not currently own a G1 Superion today as the mold has not aged well at all; however, this new 3rd party set looks to finally give the G1 Superion the justice that it deserves from the silhouette pictures shown. For that, I am super-excited for this figure even if each figure is going to cost 100 dollars each. I will own this set. I can't wait. Question though: for those who have purchased the Not-Devastator set from this 3rd party company, how is the quality of the figures? Are we talking Hasbro/Takara quality or knock-off quality? If these figures are of cheap quality plastic and bad paint jobs, then maybe I will relegate myself just to the pics of the figures online instead of actually purchasing them. :redface

These 2 guys look so cool. I wish I could afford them as I had both original Runamuck and Runabout when I was a kid. Such good memories.

Nostalgia rules here, so I gotta go with the 1984 G1 Starscream is my favorite figure/character. I remember sitting in the playground during recess playing with him for the first time that belonged to a friend of mine at the time. I was so transfixed by him and the mold, I wanted him so bad but never got him. I also loved him in the G1 cartoons too.

When I first got into collecting back in 1998'ish, I spent $500 on a MISB G1 Jazz off of Ebay. I think that was my most expensive figure I bought. I sold him 6 months later, once the "newness" of owning him wore off, for $250. :redface Heck, I used to collect a lot of MISB and MIB G1 figures back then, but after a year of it I lost interest as I was running out of room to store it all and it was super-expensive back then compared to now. 2 others really NICE G1 figures that I recall buying and the price I paid on them are a MISB Smokescreen for $250 dollars and a MISB Optimus Prime for $300 dollars (I bought him at Botcon 1998 when it was in Anahiem, CA.). However, again, I sold those 2 figures, once the "newness" wore off and made my money back and then some on Ebay. Needless to say, I don't collect MISB or MIB G1 figures anymore. Heck, I barely collect figures now as I am getting to old for it and would be ashamed if someone (e.g., girl I was dating) were to walk in my home and see them. I still like to visit Transformer websites though. :D

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!!! :eek

I learned not to use Super Glue on G1 Transformers after I accidentally tried to tighten up Grimlock's chest wings with some and they broke off after trying to move them since they weren't moving. $50 dollars down the drain. I ended up buying a new G1 Grimlock for 40 dollars and this time didn't touch his chest wings. Will never make that mistake of using Super Glue on a G1 figure again. I heard tacky glue is better since it doesn't dry hard like Super Glue does.

G1 Dinobot Grimlock. I now have 3 out of 5 Dinobots. I am taking a Dinobot break though and will probably either get Soundwave or Mirage next. I will get Snarl and Swoop later. :)

Cool. Thanks for the url link. Apparently, after looking over his FAQ, he no longer makes boxes anymore, just the bubbles. Oh well.

Just wondering if anyone knew of any sites that sell custom G1 Transformer boxes and packaging and are legit too; preferablly in the United States. My brother is interested in the packaging for a few loose G1 figures he has, and I told him I'd do some research into it since I am more of a Transformer collector than he is. I don't know if asking this is against T.O.S., so I apologize in advance. If not, any help would be appreciated. Much thanks. :D

G1 Dinobot Slag.

G1 Dinobot Sludge My first G1 Transformer for my new G1 collection. Woot! :mwahaha

I just found a MP Rodimus Prime in the wild a few days ago and I gotta say that he is tiny, even for $60 dollars, compared to past Masterpiece figures. I only feel sorry for those that spent $200+ dollars on the Takara version of him. So not worth it. If this new MP-10 Prime is the same size as MP-9 Rodimus Prime, then WOW! Talk about an easy pass now matter how cool G1 Prime is. Btw: I think the most Hasbro should be charging for this MP Rodimus Prime is $40 dollars. Anything more is just highway robbery. :D

I could have told you this line sucked just by looking at them. In fact, the entire movie line (TF, RotF and DotM) sucks! Bad robot designs are bad. First time in a TF line where I prefer the alt modes over the robot modes. :doh
