>>5278784My issue would be the fact I'm attached to what I have.
>saw "acid storm">go autistic>force parents to buy it>months later>see starscream>same as before>warned "that is the last transformer we'd ever buy">starscream became my teddy bear until my late teensMy starscream has a bit of green on him which I assume is from being stuffed too close to acidstorm in a toy box, but now that I dug him out (months ago to be honest) I do like his deco, I could clean him up later I guess...
I gunned down hasbro dirge and thrust months ago because I actually liked their deco in all honesty, I got them from mandarake and I can honestly live with miss matched coneheads because I like ramjet that much, having him stand out works.
I got mp starscream on hand so having a mini one in a similar deco is kinda meh, the current one works and a ghost one beside would prevent me from chasing up any other ghost starscreams.
And yeah I'm not touching ebay for loose/scalped bots, hell yahoo auctions has the henkei releases for $300 equivilant+ in some cases which is insanity yet mandarake its 9000yen, still much but I'm scanning for 6000-yen and lower.
I have money, and I have learnt to live with mis-matched decos, all because of these guys, well apart from hasbro skywarp which I'm not gonna bother looking for, ick.
That said my mp's will all be hasbro...if only because its cheaper than the takara seekers, damn that spiffy cape.
