As to worth, well they all look in nice nick, but I'm not seeing a lot of weapons there which is a shame. TFU, linked above, will tell you what everyone SHOULD have.
3 of those Autobot cars are worth a bit more cos they've not been reissued (two recently, one not at all) and two of those are notorious breakers.

Allegedly, according to the books. But I can recall seeing both Yellow Cliffjumper and Red Bumblebee in quantity and in fact struggling to find a yellow Bumblebee. The fact someone has TWO supports this. Is it? Surely not. I've only ever seen yellow ones. Never seen a red Cliffjumper in the flesh. To me Cliffjumper is yellow! Red Cliffjumper was always an 'American' thing to me.

I think one of those is a Hubcap Phil, the rear spoiler is lower on one of them.
Hello unpronounceable username! Happy Christmas!

Yes, you're right, it is a Hubcap. Never seen it and Yellow Cliffjumper side by side before. Heck it's probably a good 31 years since I saw Yellow Cliffjumper!
More obvious in robot mode of course!

You must have had a Laserbeak at some point: I can see two pairs of tape bird weapons in there!

Interestingly Soundwave's aren't which given you have the rest suggests they are in his battery compartment like I said!

I may off but I've moved house so many times and now I live in Germany Snarl was always my favourite as a kid , are these little guys worth much ?? I would love to have the boxes but I can't believe I still have all the paper Work and weapons

Told you!
The number of people who've found missing Soundwave weapons there....
The ones which'll be worth a little more are
Wheeljack & Sunstreaker - not reissued since Classics in 1990/1. Wheeljack's legs are prone to breaking at the ankles. Mirage - not reissued full stop. Waist is prone to snapping.
Grimlock, Sludge & Snarl - not reissued since Classics in 1990/1 Maybe Megatron, but he can't be sold on eBay. Possibly the Optimus
However someone's always buying TFs fropm, this period especially with instructions and weapons!
However you'll probably find they're worth a lot less than you're hoping - check em on eBay.
Even Yellow Cliffjumper can be had for less than £20 which came as a surprise.

However, like the Laserbeak weapons, there is a Tracks gun in there which doesn't have an owner! EDIT: and his missile launchers. And a spare pair of black jet fists

I may off but I've moved house so many times and now I live in Germany Snarl was always my favourite as a kid , are these little guys worth much ?? I would love to have the boxes but I can't believe I still have all the paper Work and weapons Unboxed dinobots can be had on eBay for circa £30 each, they aren't that rare and the lack of stickers means they don't wear as much. I've been looking fairly recently. Boxed they're worth double. G1 Megatron and Soundwave will go for good money on eBay, Megatron is a bit of a grey area (pun intended) as you're not allowed to display it in gun mode on eBay. G1 Optimus isn't as valuable as you'd think although if its complete and in good condition that will help. Most are missing hands, guns, trailer doors with scabby labels and snapped pipe stacks. Really really nice collection. Something that stood out is how good a condition they all seem to be in. It's easy enough to pick a lot of G1 figures up on eBay but it's quite hard to find ones that have been treated well. Welcome to the forum, although I'm secretly fuming that you've nicked part of my username. Grrrrr.

To be fair I have no plans to sale them as I've just ordered a glass display case to put them in from good old Ikea But thanks for the info I think its always good to see these things and not to box them up any longer . Are there many of these around still ?

I've been missing one of his wings for many years. They're very hard to come by.

Thank you for the warm welcome I'm now thinking of getting Slag of Ebay to complete the set

That's how it starts...
You'll be after a Swoop before Slag's even arrived, and it's all downhill from there.

I forgot about Swoop, it has been a few years

Post by Pinwig on Dec 27, 2015 15:17:36 GMT
Forgetting about Swoop is allowed because he was never actually sold in these isles, so he doesn't feature in any of the promotional material from the time. Only the comic, where children would weep tears on a regular basis in the letters section asking WHY HASBRO, WHY?!
Same with Shockwave.

Well it's not like Shockwave was a major character or anything. They could get away with it.
