AAARRGH- Yeah that's a really good point actually.... W I L L W E E V E R H A V E A W O R T H Y G 1 R A T C H E T A N D I R O N H I D E  ?!!!!!!!!!!! (the Towline repaint was entirely worthy, gloriously worthy, oh why... why wasn't it mass released...? WWWWHHHHYYYYYYYYY?!?!?!?!!!) 1984 Ironhide and Ratchet. Fine toys, and still my favourite versions to this day. Karl Darn right, Karlos, you're the man. I was meaning 'as well as' the magnificent '84 toys. Hmmm, maybe I should hunt down some reissues of those beauties. |

It is around this time that we all regret not buying these reissues when they were a tenner each  |

Yeah, about 2-3 years ago there were stacks and stacks and stacks of them. Dealers couldn't give them away.
They've been slowly rising in price though. About £30 each at the last AA I think. I was mentally kicking myself as I've never owned that mold and basically threw away the opportunity to for peanuts!!
Of course it also means I refuse to pay the going rate out of principle!!

I remember at the same time, the Sky Lynx and Omega Supreme reissues were something stupid like £20/30 each. I got my Sky Lynx for £20 and everyone here told me I'd overpaid.
Which, having checked the toy out... yeah. WELL THE BOX WAS NICE, AT LEAST!!

Or when HLJ had God Ginrai reissue for £10. Sigh. ANYWAY... MP-30 IS GREAT. Although from some angles it looks like the windscreen could do with being a little flatter, but y'know, can't really fix that with a realistic alt-mode. |

I remember that. It was pretty early 00s though wasn't it? I remember seeing that but being too scared to order from HLJ.

The Kaptain got me one of those cheap God Ginrai's. I still have it. I recall being taunted by some ruffians in Glasgow City Centre late at night because I was carrying it home.

Good point. Okay, he's out then.
I will join you in GALACTIC DOMINATION only if we can ride to glory in Sky Lynx.
