What's funny is that we've become TF Appraisers (Andrew being the best). We could go on a "Antiques Roadshow" and valuate TF's brought in.

"You've brought in a MISB Sunstreaker. This was manufactured in 1984. During this particular production run, the tires had this unique tread pattern that makes this one more desireable on the market...

Unfortunately the market for these items is cold right now, and you can find these everywhere. I'll give you $20 for it."

Then came the black No.9 Diaclone Honda City Turbo (basically a black Diaclone Skids). The Black City Turbo had the same wheels as the City R/S, but the later blue Honda City Turbo (the true blue predecessor to Skids) had different simpler wheels, and after that came the red Honda City Turbo.

After these Japanese Diaclone releases, Italy had the blue and red City Turbos in the GiG Packaging, and of course there was the blue US Transformers Skids which was short-packed. The Japanese only received the TF Skids in the VSZ giftset alongside Sunstreaker and Buzzsaw. After that, the mold saw release again only in late 2002 as the Takara DW-style reissue, accompanied a little later by the E-Hobby reissue of the grey City S as "Crosscut", complete with scooter and original red masked head and boxart from the Diaclone Wrecker/City S giftset.

well, the KO'ed Optimus Primes started to surface on eBay. Only one seller has them, but we believe they don't speak english.

http://cgi.ebay.com/Transformers-G1-...QQcmdZViewItem

Suba and Hammy needed phrases like:

"Do you have more Optimus Primes for sale"
"Please pack with care"
etc ...

unfortunately, when this person responds, it will be in their dialect ... even if Suba and Hammy were to do this, they'd have no idea what this person is saying.
