$100 is a steal, seriously. You get so much for your money.

The best part about buying TFC06 is that you're buying a transformable handgun. That will never, ever, happen again in TF history. You're buying a piece of TF history where crap like handguns were still fun. You're buying a piece of time where everything wasn't censored.

Take your TF addiction to the next level!!! You should buy two megatrons at that price. Sit on it for 6-8 months, and unload the 2nd one on ebay for more than you paid! When a new TFC reissue comes out, the old one isn't made anymore. With the right timing, you can make some good profits...offset your spending a bit...

That's what I'm doing with my 2nd MISB TFC #10 Soundwave re-issue, 2nd TFC smokescreen re-issue, crap load of Tuesday Morning TRU reissues, and certain alternator doubles. I got a shelf of transformers that are slated for future sale once the market conditions ripen.

Story: I had a MIB TFC 10 soundwave that was in perfect condition. There was nothing wrong with it. It was bugging me that it wasn't MISB, but I got it for $30(?) so I thought I could live with it. Andrew points at my collection and says:

"So, how does it feel to know that your TFC reissue collection is 95% MISB?"



Sold it off for $60 + shipping the next day. Purchased the MISB ones.

Its a local anime store near me.

Ahhh u both bring out good points. :run: :run: :run: What to do ....what to dooooo

:werd: He looks like a real friggin gun too, none of that bright color "oh it's really a toy" crap. You could rob a convenience store with this thing.

And when the po-po come, you transform megatron into a robot. "Gun officer? I don't have a gun. I've been playing with my robot here all day long."

PM me the phone number of the joint. I want to see if they'll send one to me.

You can buy it from me later...at markup :boink: :boink: :boink: .

Seriously...$100 for a TFC 06 Megatron MISB...what's there to think about? Buy! Buy! Buy!

Do eeeetttttt! :crazyr: :bigok: :crazyr:

Buy two. Sell one on e-bay for at least $135. That brings down the true cost of the one you keep down to $65! By spending more money, you actually save money.

Man, all this talk about Megatron. Now I want one. I'll take one for $100 + shipping


I think I got hooked on Transformers because of the cartoon. I was probably about 4 years old. My brother and I had the those two that could roll forward and then flip into robot mode. We also had Hoist and Inferno. Those are the only two new ones that I can remember having. All the rest I had were hand me down toys from other people (Blitzwing with no turret...Scattorshot without the rest of the Technobots).


A few years ago I started buying a lot of loose G1 combiners...I think I have them all except for Predaking, and miscellaneous fists. My favorite character is Menasor because I like the Stunticons.


I started collecting Alternators and Binaltech because I saw pictures on this thread

Blah, I think I'll run to KB Toys at lunch for shits & giggles. I know I won't find a Sideswipe though. :happysad:

i started collecting in 99 when my then gf/now wife brought me back the first reissue of Hotrod. Then I started collecting the e-hobbies, and just kept buying everything G1 TF and Macross since. But now things are slowly going out of my collection.

that's garbage. Don't reissue a damn G2 item ... those suck.

Well ... whatever, all I want is a G1 Star Saber.
