So finally i laid my hands on the final 2 Dino Cassettes, Dairy and Zauru!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Again thanks to my good buddy who gave me a very very good deal!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Finally finally finally....cannot imagine i would ever be able to complete the dino cassettes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As per the earlier 2 cassettes, i'm gonna do a comparison between the original and the K.O version. (<a href="http://cavecollection.blogspot.sg/2015/05/dino-cassettes-c-121-gurafigraphy-c-122.html" target="_blank">Gurafi/Noizu comparison here!</a>)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As i mentioned many months ago (when i got the first 2 cassettes), i acquired the K.O version of these rare and hard to find cassettes...to make sure that i would not pay the price of an original for a K.O...and am glad that i didn't need to use this information as both sources were very trustworthy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Front of the box: Original on the left, K.O on the right.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Unlike C-121 & C-122, there were not much obvious differences between them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Even the toy molding looks horrifying similar...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Note the major difference here...the stud at the neck of Dairu should be covered, like a thumb tack instead of a hollow piece of stud. And of course, the K.O is missing the rub signs, which can be easily placed on.</div>

Tray inserts: Original on the top, K.O on the bottom</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No vertical grooves on the sides of the tray and no grooves to hold onto the cassettes inside the hollows. If the tray has any grooves, very likely its a K.O</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also, the hollow for the accessories on the original is a square, where the K.O spots a rectangle.</div>

Unlike the C-123 Dairy, the number "2" is exactly same as original. So that means to i.d the K.O, it is very very difficult.<br />
Update (24 Oct 2016): Some detail which i missed...and picked up by another collector in the Facebook G1 group...the yellow lined box beside the numbers "C-124", the top line of the box is missing on the K.O...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
There seems to be a lot less differences for C-123 & C-124 compared to the earlier C-121 & C-122.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My guess is that the K.O makers managed to land their hands on an original Dairu and Zauru. That is why they could get accurate scaled boxes as well as the print on the boxes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On C-121 & C-122, there were alignment errors/differences but not these 2.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The instruction sheets were also very nicely printed in high resolution. Another evidence that they could not be printed from internet downloads.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've also heard of some K.O makers approaching owners of these dino cassettes to loan the original pieces, probably with the intention of re-producing them. Glad to hear that my friend refused. I would refuse too. Absolutely hate K.Os!! wouldn't have bought the K.Os if not for the K.Os....which means i will be selling the K.Os off soon.</div>

Hot on the heels of <a href="http://cavecollection.blogspot.sg/2016/03/the-elusive-diaclone-bluestreakfinally.html" target="_blank">Bluey</a>, I present Diaclone Yellow Sideswipe or as some call it, Tigertracks (for ehobby reissue)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well actually, i got the Yellow swipe before Bluestreak, just that was i really excited that i talked about Bluestreak first...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's Sideswipe in his yellow outfit...a pretty nice version of the Countach mold, lots of Diecast (which is similar to the regular TF & reissues mold as well, i love diecast, so the extra mention)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is a nice used piece with used sticker sheet and the Diaclone catalog and instruction sheet. Missiles are off-sprue...a really pretty version i must say.</div>

These are the few tell-tale signs to check out for in case someones dumps a reissue into a diaclone box for sale...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Personally i do not see the Diaclone Yellow Sideswipe available for sales that often BUT at the same time, do not see it as one of the highly sort after Diaclones. Perhaps it does not appeal that much to collectors compared to Bluestreak and Marlboor Wheeljack. In addition, there is a reissue by ehobby and the reissue is not exactly too far off. It is actually quite a nice toy to play with and enjoy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I go the ehobby reissue first and this was sort of an incidental finding....got it off a good friend who feels that i love this more than him...well, i do and this is now sitting proudly in my cabinet...</div>

July 2015, i managed to snag a loose Diaclone Blue Bluestreak....that temporary satisfied my "thirst" for Bluestreak for abit....it was not long that i started to look for a MIB piece....for the next 6 - 7 months, i have probably seen only 2 pieces up for sales...but the prices ended at ridiculous prices...disappointed, i continued to wait and wait till a nice, reasonably priced piece comes my way...For collecting, most of the time, i would go by: Patience will pay off, there will be a piece that comes along just nice. (okay, sometimes it's hard not to grab that pricey piece but...)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Come March 2016. I FINALLY GOT MY BLUESTREAK.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
okay, i'm a Starscream slut and am still looking for a Diaclone Screamer but Bluestreak comes in at a close second if not on par....let's not divert the attention from this piece, one of the highly sought after version of the Fairlady mold.</div>

Late, but better late than never right?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These are my 5, or rather 6 favourite acquisitions in year 2015....been wanting to post this but seriously, schedules are tight such that posting here has less priority.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
1. Joustra Starscream - Got a piece with a much nicer box and styrofoam. Though its missing some parts.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. Takara C-108 Targetmaster Artfire MIB unused- broke the bank to get it...sick of waiting and hoping.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3. Takara D-309 Black Shadow MIB unused - Not as costly as Artfire but still had to break the bank...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4. Diaclone Bluestreak - Loose. Got this off Yahoo Japan...1 Bluestreak is never enough...i need more! MIB please!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
5. Diaclone Yellow Sideswipe. MIB unused. It's a COuntach what else can i say. Will probably do a comparison with the e-hobby Tigertracks some time soon..</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
6. Probably my favourite here: Lucky Draw Secret Starscream. Complete MIB unused. This was released in 2001 as you can see that the box is the exact same box for the Takara 22 Reissue starscream. Fully clear body with red metal body. So glad that i was able to get this. According to www.luckydrawtransformers.com, there are only 5 pieces of the secret starscream in the world!</div>

Took me some time to finally get this….didn't preorder this and when it was released, basically everywhere was selling this "Starscream" as a set with "Skywarp" and "Thundercracker"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One of my biggest regret…initially i though that the Transformers Prime Starscream mold was the worst, but i was wrong…THIS IS WORST!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Found this in Osaka and i thought i was damn lucky to find it selling individually and at 8,000 yen…i thought, not exactly cheap but nor is it expensive…typically this goes on ebay for >$150 if i remember correctly…i had given up looking for Banshee…</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Bought this back to the hotel and my wife held it up while packing and asked why i bought an empty box and i'd better check if it's early empty….yes, its that light…almost weightless…</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is the box…actually not bad looking…but…but…but...</div>

Its time for the Mandarakes in Osaka….</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These are not as straight forward as Jungle or Hero Gangu in my view…so first get the address from the Mandarake Website <a href="http://www.mandarake.co.jp/en/shop/gcs.html">her</a>e….We are going to Mandarake Shinshibashi Grand Chaos Store first…</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a little tip: If you do not have a data plan in japan and using only WiFi in your hotel, input the address of your destination into google maps when you have WiFi…set off for your destination. as you are approaching the destination, activate google maps and you can see how far you are from your destination and you can navigate your way using google map. Google map takes your location fro your mobile signal, you will not have directions but its like a digital map with your live location.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ok, now for Mandrake Grand Chaos….</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is the building with Bowling pin at the top.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
from hero gangu, walk in the direction towards Jungle…walk until you reach a big river, once you cross the river, turn left and walk til you pass the Gilco man, until you reach a bridge for vehicles and you turn rightist's difficult to explain from here and you would have to have the map at hand or google map to navigate your way there….Note that you will see a building with a bowling pin before the river…THAT IS NOT THE BUILDING TO HEAD FOR..its has to be after the river...</div>

Some cause for concern over here….i was quite surprised to find a complete set of Hasbro Dinobots there…and at a affordable price for the entire set…but after taking a closer look, they are KOs!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to think that Mandarake carries KOs!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As G1 collectors, it is very important that we do our research on KOs….fortunately i have done mine…a simple verification, Original Swoop would have the rub sign visible…Original Snarl would have the black box (with transformers wording) and the yellow box (with "Snarl")aligned…</div>

Had an opportunity to go on a short toy hunting trip in Osaka (and for food as well of course!)</div>

Probably my first toy hunting trip in Osaka, so had to use the guide on my good friend, Heroic Decepticon's blog.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Took some photos to complement his explanation on "How to get there"…so this is not a comprehensive guide, just some additional pictures and short explanation…go read his guide first and come here for the pictures which he didn't put up…<a href="http://heroicdecepticon.blogspot.sg/2011/06/heroics-osaka-transformers-toy-shopping.html">go go go</a></div>

These are the Hard Hero Cold Cast Busts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yes, i'm being poisoned again…They look really cool, true representation of the G1 anime.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Saw these at a friend's place, fell in love with the statues…but due to space constraints, i went for only Starscream at first. But after getting the starscream, i had to get the rest…right now i have 5 but not stopping…i WILL get the rest, Optimus Prime, Megatron, Jazz, Wheeljack, Cyclonus etc.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The prices varies a lot and can come really cheap but the shipping can be crazy as these busts weigh really solid.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Each busts is individually numbered and there are 500 pieces for each character.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I would really recommend these for G1 fans...</div>

Mid last year, i managed to acquire these Japanese Headmasters through my good friend.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But there were only 5 MIB headmasters missing the rare shuffler.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Price-wise for Shuffler, it is sometimes said that the price of shuffler can exceed the price of the other 5 headmasters combined!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Nevertheless, here they are…in MIB goodness.</div>

For the next few months to close to a year, i have been trying to find Shuffler. Going through TF groups and ebay, Yahoo Japan….and another important factor is that there are the KOs out there, which makes the search even more difficult. Found a couple of MIB Shufflers on YHJ but the prices are just crazy! went way about how much i paid for the 5 MIB heads. Just can't bring myself to throw big numbers for much a small figure. (But it would be different if they are the White Japanese Headamster heads, which are even more difficult to find)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Guess my patience eventfully paid off and i managed to find a loose piece. and at a really good price. The next thing is its authenticity…pretty straight forward for these heads, stamping = original; no stamping = KO.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, now…..The Elusive SHUFFLER!!!</div>

Managed to snag this exclusive piece while i was having a vacation in Europe.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For some reason, Europe is hopeless for vintages…not only, even for the newer toys like combiner wars, you don't see much in Europe. Whatever happened to the GiGs and European versions?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Or is the problem with me that i do not know where to search? Doesn't mater now.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Managed to get it shipped so that it's waiting for me when i get home…</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And it's a beauty.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Unused and complete. Slight yellowing but very very very difficult to find a pristine bone-white piece now, similar to Minerva.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Still puzzling to me why this has become so rare and sought-after. Just a recolor of Inferno, add in a target master and this is the result…just puzzling.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But i'm just happy to be able to get Artfire so let's enjoy this piece for now…</div>

the differences are quite similar to Gurafi…here, the bio card is smaller on the KO. Original, should be near credit card size.</div>

The interior of the weapon: you can see the dark base color for this piece. For the original, the chrome is even all round. Similarly, tis is not a sure fire way to identify KOs.</div>

Lack of details in the head of the KO. i used this to identify KOs. There should be a line around the eyes and another line round the mouth of the original.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The back of KO Decible cannot stay in place, tends to "lean" backwards, resulting in the instability of Decible, causing it to fall backwards....I had to help by holding onto the feet so that it will not topple over. The legs are loose, wanting to do Van Damme splits.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the catalog that came along with each cassette. Don't know if it should due there but since it inside…i'll just accept it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Hope the comparison helps and will help someone out there in acquiring a set of these rare cassettes. The originals, really are a sight to behold and when you play and handle it, you will know that no KO will ever come close. My opinion is that i will never get a KO to "replace" a vintage piece.<br />
The reason(s) why i would get an KO:<br />
1) To find out how the KO look and what are the indications of a KO.<br />
2) For customizing. (thoughts really been a long time since i last worked on a custom)<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now….Bring on C-123 Dairu & C-124 Zauru!!!!</div>

Way before this, i got a set of the KO dino cassettes, for research purposes, wanting to make sure that i do not get a KO piece of the price of an original. I need to know the difference, not only the box, but the toy and inserts as well. I want an 100% original collector piece. As they say, to know your enemy well, is half the battle won.<br />
Some research on the net and great help my my friend HD, (who has all 4 original Dino cassettes), i managed to memorize by heart some differences. So now, after scoring these 2 pieces, i'm showing those differences that one can judge straight by looking at one. No reviews on the original toy itself (well, maybe some praise for the original along the way) as a very good review done by my good friend on C-121 <a href="http://heroicdecepticon.blogspot.sg/2011/12/review-headmasters-dino-cassette-c-121.html">here</a> and C-122 <a href="http://heroicdecepticon.blogspot.sg/2011/12/review-headmasters-dino-cassette-c-122.html">here</a>.<br />

1) Wings must reach the edge of the box<br />
2) The white japanese words at the bottom must be aligned to the right, not nearer to the centre.<br />
<br />
There are other differences, but you can't differentiate unless you have an original on hand to compare. i will just name these 2, they are sufficient enough to judge the piece if its a KO.<br />

1) Arm of Decible extends to the front of the box for the KO. On the original, the picture fits nicely on the side flap. This is the same for Noizu as well.<br />

1) The artwork of Decible for the KO touches the edge of the box. For the original, the artwork is well within the white background.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Picture of Gurafi covers the top of the box, edge to edge. i.e the wings touch the top edge and the feet touches the bottom edge. On th KO, the picture is not touching the edges at all. If you noticed, the angle of the photo then is different as well..</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Significant difference in size of the Bio card. It should be almost the size of the box itself, near to credit card size. For the KO, about the size of the cassette.</div>

Instruction sheets are clearly identifiable, with the KO version having very pixelated pictures. It appears that the KO makers do not have an original piece to achieve a high definition scan. It looks like the instruction sheet was printed out from a picture downloaded from the net. It looks very unprofessional, even for a KO.<br />

The compartment for the accessories should be square. On the KO, both are rectangle, almost identical in size. Also there should not be grooves to "hold" onto the cassettes in the compartment.</div>

The weapons are almost identical, very difficult to judge just by looing at the chrome. Look at the insides where chrome paint can't be applied. It seems that on the original, the base plastic is red and it's black for the KO. This is also noticed for Noizu. Not sure if this can be used to 100% judge an original.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
The KO piece has the Takara'87 Stamping as well. So we can't judge it by stamping, though there are some difference in the font used, no way to verify without an original.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All these being said, when you handle the KO piece, you will know the difference. Loose joints, not so easy to click in parts etc. The handling feel is totally different, this is unlike the KO Japanese Headmasters. But fortunately, the KO headmasters do not have the Takara stamping which makes it very easy to identify. (KO headmaster Lione comparison <a href="http://cavecollection.blogspot.sg/2014/07/headmaster-head-lione-comparison-with.html">here</a>)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But unless you have the opportunity to inspect at point of transaction/purchase, you have to base on the pictures provided. Very often the not, we make our purchases online, via forums, Facebook groups, ebay etc. You have to ask for actual photos of the item and not photos from the forums, other collectors etc. Push the seller to provide, you are paying premium for such stuffs anyway and we would rather be safe than sorry. Opportunities will come, i'd rather pass on a rare item (but unsure if it's original) then to jump into it without verification.</div>

By advice, i managed to snag myself a pre-rub streak. Really an art piece, the quality and the feel of the pre-rub brings out the excitement in me. I still can remember the feeling very clearly when i have this piece in my hands, MISB…the feeling of opening up a 1984 Transformer toy, just like when i was a kid, the excitement… (except now i'm very much more careful)</div>

Pictured here is the picture of the pre-rub streak, returned back into his box. Plastic prison? probably but i have a couple of streaks more, so i still get my taste of fiddling with streaks now and then.</div>

Why is Bluestreak called BLUEstreak when it is not blue, one may ask. Even Bluestreak in the 1980s cartoon was silver and black hooded.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This has been explained several times in many forums and several blogs. I shall not bore you guys further…</div>

October 2014: I had the chance to visit my good buddy, <a href="http://heroicdecepticon.blogspot.sg/">Heroic Decepticon</a> at his apartment in Hong Kong...yes, we managed to meet despite the Hong Kong protest.<br />
really an eye-opener…His display is so cool that i wanted to mimic to my own display. Not to mention that his collection is second to none (exaggerating, yes…probably second to not many :D)<br />
<br />
One of my main objective was to see the Diaclone Blue Bluestreak in the flesh and i did!<br />
<br />
Here i am, holding the fabled Blue Bluestreak.</div>

Looking at these diaclone pieces really pushes me to want to own 1 of these and i have to step up to look for one…and especially need help of friends and collectors if they chance upon one…<br />
The toy is very very solid, the fine details are painfully straight with well-cut lines. No regrets in getting one…ever.</div>

Don't know if i should be ashamed to mention this…being a Transformers fan from the 80s, i've never owned a G1 Optimus Prime until 5 years go where i bought the 25th Anniversary G1 Optimus Prime…then i acquired the Grey and Red Bape Optimus Prime...these were the only G1 Convoys…i have never owned a vintage G1 Prime until now….</div>

This piece, a used complete Pre Rub G1 Optimus Prime was acquired at the same time as the <a href="http://cavecollection.blogspot.sg/2014/11/posting-after-4-months-decepticon-jets.html">Decepticon Jets</a>…In my view probably the best version of Optimus Prime for a G1 fan.</div>

Robot mode…Best representation of the G1 artwork…bloated fists and weapons…Most important of all, the rifle matches the artwork, 1980s cartoon…later versions were released with a different, slimmer rifle. Diecast, rubber wheels and all…how could i missed this for all these years?!!</div>

Another thing which stands out from other later versions…Roller comes in grey color which is similar to what shown on the instructions sheet…Also, a good representation…later Rollers come in blue color as shown on the first picture, the 25th Anniversary version...</div>

Next thing about the trailer, the colored sides are actually metal plates, with the colors and designs printed on…Later versions come with stickers….This will not make a significant difference to most collectors whether the patterns are stickers or metal plates but to me, it is important as this shows that this version is the closest to the Diaclone Convoy, the first use of mold and design for Optimus Prime.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The metal plates serves a purpose for the little diaclone drivers where the magnets on their feet can keep the drivers stable by adhering to the metal plates...</div>

IN all, i'm very happy with this version of Optimus Prime, not only being my first vintage prime but as the best version of Optimus Prime…Again, similar to my Decepticon Jets, this is also an opportunity acquisition…and i was not the one who found this opportunity, a friend led me to this and i can never thank him enough...</div>

Its been a really busy time of the year for me…haven't really been posting much….but that does not mean i've stopped collecting and acquiring.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just to start…i've finally managed to complete my G1 Decepticon jets…again, thanks to a good friend collector who helped looking out for these….and i must say, the jets which i've acquired are in a very good condition…The Starscream is even better than the one i have now. Well, there can never be enough of starscream..</div>

I've never been too bothered about getting the rest of the seekers (probably due to the recolor of a same mold)…but if opportunity came along, why not? Seeing these pieces in such great condition only strengthens my theory of "strike the iron when it is hot" </div>

Couldn't bring myself to take them out of the packaging yet (these are MIB except for Ramjet) but looking at them brings back childhood memories of not being able to own them. Damn, 1984 Rise of the Autobot cars….and Decepticon Jets!</div>

The last cone head, Ramjet, i have to make a special mention. This is MIB with the bubble still sealed on car. The great box condition only makes it more attractive to look at.</div>

The same time, i loose piece of Ramjet was gifted to me… Thanks (you know who you are)</div>

Closeup of the headmaster face…here you can see the original on the left has a Takara 87 stamping right below the chin whereas the KO does not…solely based on this, one can differentiate.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't really know how many versions of KO are there, so i can't confirm if all the KO does not come with the takara stamping. but if some of them do, then it would be very difficult to tell them apart. Unlike other bigger sized KOs, these headmasters heads have very little differences, even the details, lines, edges are terrifying similar. Just by looking at a KO piece, it is very very difficult to tell.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My suggestion for all those who intend to get these headmasters heads is to get them from a reliable source, try not to get them loose (not foolproof as the KO can be put into a box as decoy) and do a lot of homework before getting them especially off ebay.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My experience, didn't do enough homework and was too lazy to check when getting a set of Vintage Insecticons…a couple of weeks later, after i have the time, i took out the toys and realized that the bubbles were all KO and the toys after checking…seemed KO too…fortunately the seller refunded me after i went through all the evidence with him…it's good luck on my part but i learnt a lesson as well..</div>

Why has Minelba suddenly become so rare and with a rocketing price?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i have really no idea. perhaps its difficult to find one which is bone white, complete paperworks. But isn't this the same with any other Vintage Japanese transformer toy?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Minelba has indirectly affect the stock price of her Hasbro cousin, Nightbeat. Everything directly and indirectly related to Minelba has increased gradually.</div>

This is one of the pieces which i really covert.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Seen a really yellowed piece in Japan several years ago at a crazy price…and i have not even asked about the completeness and paperworks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is very very difficult to find one at this condition, at this price and 99% paperworks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I must again, thank my pal for this and really really appreciate it… *fist bump*</div>

Can't miss this out. the moment i realized that this is being sold individually, i grabbed it. All along i had the impression that this was sold in a set along with Not Thundercracker and Not Skywarp.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First feel with the toy is quite good. Very sturdy and tight. No loose joints. Plastic quality is good as well. The instructions for transformation, generally is same with all other 3rd party products…not very clear…</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The transformation and the bot in my view is average or below par. Though the bot feels okay holding it and as mentioned earlier, the plastic is not bad…but the null-rays (shoulder cannons) are somewhat too low, making then bot look strange with a pair of cannons hanging somewhere on the bicep.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The wings have to be removed during transformation and installed back into pegs after transformation is done. something like the G1 toy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In bot mode, the wings and shoulders can never be in parallel, meaning that if the shoulders are straight facing, the wings have to be tilted backwards…if the wings is straight, the shoulders have to be tilted forward…not very well thought of, shoulders and wings blocking each other.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Fists are not articulated…they are like the current line of Deluxe toys with fixed hands to hold only specific weapons.</div>

To put on display its an ok piece but playability not quite there…if Masterpiece Starscream MP-03 can be improved to MP-11 with several improvements made…i believe the 3rd party Starscream could have been done better…iGear should have put in more effort for the transformation...</div>

The rest of the versions are considered Silverstreak. If you want a bigger challenge and have cash to spare, you may want to search for the diaclone black hood blue streak. But its really rare to find one in nice condition…i had to settle for the lesser brother…this e-hobby version.</div>

Before i was into transformers, voltron was actually the first combiner which i fell in love with.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
wasn't able to afford one at the point of time, i remember going over to my neighbor's place to play with his piece of Voltron…how envy i was and til now i couldn't forget that feeling….</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since then there were many versions of Voltron that was released but i just couldn't bring myself to get either…</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then came this 30th anniversary version which came with lights and sound…and the playability is still there! the lions can still combine!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i pre-ordered this and eagerly await its arrival…</div>

Not disappointed with this version at all…if i want to be fussy, it has to be the sound…the advertising for this version is "Comes with lights and Sound" light, yes, its from the main bot. But sounds? from the base…i thought it was from the bot as well…but it was not to be..</div>

There were a couple of new Generation Voyager-sized toys released: Springer, Blitzwing, Doubledealer, Sandstorm…i bought all these but Whirl is different…He came with a sticker sheet!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
G1 fans will never forget…."I'm looking for a piece which is unused, stickers unapplied"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has been a long time when Transformers came with a sticker sheet!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was really reminiscence of a G1 process.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I gleefully applied the stickers onto Whirl. The above pictures are without stickers..Those below have stickers applied…any difference?</div>

Hydrogen Peroxide whitening of toys have been widely discussed and used on countless white toys.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was looking at Squeezeplay awhile ago and saw that it was badly yellowed. Squeezeplay as everyone knows, has no white parts and yellowing to the colored parts are bad…i thought to myself if peroxide treatment can be whiten white parts, why can't it remove the yellowing on colored parts?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I the proceeded to dismantle the toy, got the peroxide and soaked a couple of parts in the chemical along with some healthy sunlight….</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
we can see here…brown squeezeplay arms...</div>

Have not posted for a long long time….Been busy with work and newborn daughter…</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, not posting does not mean not looking and not acquiring. Acquiring TFs must not stop, not even when there is no time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Along the way, got myself a Takara Vintage G1 Prowl, complete, used. Imust say, the vintage autobot cars are a must get! especially the Takara japanese version for the styrofoam where you can properly store the toy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Together with Prowl, came the Targetmaster Triggerhappy. Bought this for a couple of reasons:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1) My loose piece has both tabs broken on the cannons.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2) We have no time.</div>
