Prowl
Decepticharge

I think this case (back from the dead) is replacing it:
Shockblast
Wheeljack
Battle Ravage
Windcharger
I know of a Target with 11, yes 11 Swindles on the shelf.

"Microman" figures are bad ass. They cover just about anything ... for example:
Evangelion
Batman
Street FIghter
these are extremely similar to the old school GI Joes in size and shape.

that's not cool. I'll keep my eyes open.
The first 3 jets are getting pretty hard to find, for under $25 shipped that is.

I told my mom they were "action figures" because "dolls" were for girls ... she still called them "dolls"

Now I'm re-hooked because I was a "stupid kid" for opening all the toys back then.

That was my gateway drug ... combo'ed with the TRU reissues of Optimus Prime, Hot Rod, and Starscream.
By the time I finished school, May of 2004, I had a few reissues (Prime, Hotrod, Starscream, Skywarp, and Prowl) ... I started to work right away, and all shit broke loose.
In March of 05, I wanted to buy a Soundblaster badly. I preordered one using a coupon, only to have "Bill" from Billstoysandgames.com screw me over and never process the order ... because he'd "lose money". By the time Soundblaster arrived in stock at the online stores, my preorder price of $57 shipped was long gone ... I was looking @ $90-ish minimum.

In August of 05, I had all the TRU reissues because I was buying them for under $9 each for the past year. I found a Soundblaster for $58 online and instantly purchased him. That was the TFC gateway ...
In October of 05, I finished the TFCs ... and stepped into the eHobby's and JDM's because of that damn $105 Predaking.
In March of 2070, I will be on my death bed, all my TF's with me ... and an exacto blade ready to go. I'm opening all my toys. :run:
