Is there any chance you could post a pic of your SkyWarp in robot mode? And is the paintjob on it factory or custom?
Skywarp Classics was a Target store exclusive that came packed along with UltraMagnus, a repaint of the Classics Prime.

I wonder if they still sell them at Target stores. They were a really good price, too.

That SkyWarp is dope.
found 3 G1s in great shape for 30 bucks (a little pricey, but Iām allowed to splurge) yesterday.
Bombshell, Cosmos, and Warpath.
no gun for Bombshell, but oh well, the chrome is extra niceā¦very little wear at all.
they also had a near-complete G1 Thrust (Just missing some missles and one launcher)
Just wanna recommend a site if youāre trying to complete a figure:

Nice customer service, the on-site shopping cart messed up, and they answered my email pretty quickly. I ordered the last piece I needed for my Battlefield HQ set, so itās complete now unless I decide to go after the tech spec/instructions. You can also negotiate your price if you feel they are overcharging you.
Bookmarked in case I lose a part in the near future. (Which I probably will, lol)
Hmmm, Iāve been lookin to complete my wifes Omega Supreme for some time now, and Wheeljackās Lab is too expensive. This might be useful to us. Thanks, Khao.
Do you guys hang onto your instructions for your transformers, and if so, where do you store them? I store my unused weapons and instructions in ziplock bags.
I know you guys are seeing the pictures of Alternator Rodimus, right?
Thanks for the link, Khaotika!, thatāll come in handy.
I have a buddy who has an Omega Supreme that is so damn nice, it should be glowing.
everythingās thereā¦all the clips, pieces, etc.
itās crazy!
I still have the boxes for 99% of my G1, so their instructions are with the boxes. I cut up all my Beast Wars/Machines/Cybertron/Energon/Armada boxes, and keep their instructions in a small box I used for filefolders. I need to clean it out and make it a bit more presentable sometime, basically I just piled them all in there willy-nilly. :looney:
Iāve seen that, and if what I heard is right: Comic-Con exclusive, I will probably pare down the rest of my Alts and sell them, unless I can manage to get ahold of one for me and one for my brother. Itās obnoxious. I like the KISS deco better anyway.
BTW youāre welcome for the link SMB and Taichi!
WHAT? Rodimus is rumored to be a SDCC exclusive? Well fuckers, I gues this means Iām going this time. I passed on black Prime last years (like a dumb ass) but this one is a must.
A must x 2 evenā¦
Is everyone an avid collector in this thread? Shucks, I feel so left out⦠:sad:
Itās hard to believe that it will be an exclusive - considering that there is the mass-produced KISS version
^^^ Looks more like Headmaster Brainstorm
Goddamn, another fucking repaint??? This is why hasbroās become one of my least favorite manufacturers.
javi: too true but the KISS Rodimus goes for $100+ on Ebay and Iām not sheling out that kind of cash for a Binaltech.
Iād put my TF Collecting into the category of āCasualā at best.
as a matter of fact, Itās actually winding down againā¦thatās not to say I wonāt jump if I find a deal, or a figure I canāt live withoutā¦but Iām getting more into superheroes and GI Joe againā¦
I do still have a lot of Classics Iām after, and I hope the botcon set doesnāt skyrocket TOO muchā¦as Iāll likely get back into TFs at some point.
I want that Hot Rod exclusive too!
Hereās pics of my MP Megatron with custom leg add-on parts. I used double-sided tape to attach the upper pieces, and the rest just stick on by themselves.

I want to attempt to make better pieces, with details that match with the toyās detailing.
Nice job, P_S! Legs definitely look beefier now!
Also, for collectorās status, I file myself under ācasualā as well. Thereās just so much good stuff out, Iām having trouble keeping up. Alts are pretty much done, so Iām good on those, and unless classics comes out with something good, I donāt see myself picking any more TFs for a long while.
Iām going to say I follow in the ācausalā fan mold as well. Like someone said, there are WAY too many TFs out there, and collecting them all puts a strain in my wallet. So - for now, Iām only collecting Classics, Alternators, Masterpieces, and maybe some reissues. With that said, I need to get rid of a lot of the Cybertron line.
