I don't know what's up with this seller. 26 feedback tells me he isn't into collecting at all. He's buying toys for repo'ed stickers he's selling ... he's buying boxes and stickers for toys he doesn't.

I really wonder if:

a) he's starting to collect
b) he's gathering materials

He had the OP stickers waaay before the repo came out. :thinking:

There were no spring-loaded bolts from the cat to header so the exhaust just broke after the cat because it was rusted out and had no slack without the spring-loaded bolts. I had to get a whole new cat-back today, and they could only do stock size (my custom was 2.25) because they apparently can't do any bending or welding. I just went with it because I needed it done, and the 2.25 was a little loud for my taste. At least I'm back to full sleeper status now
damn ... sorry to hear that man. :sad:

I have the BT versions of all them for my MISB pleasure.
Those new Alternators are great to look at. They look great on display too ... it's fun seeing more than 50% of the toy.

These bootlegs capture the entire G1 feel. Since I never take my toys out of the box, the packaging is as important as the contents.
