This is another piece from the 'giant' lot that I bought awhile back - it's #7 of 36. The aim was really to get all of Japanese numbering "01" [...]

So this is figure #8 of 36 - Japanese box 08 - Bluestreak (or 'Streak' if you would). So #8 is 08, or 08 is #8, heh. One of my all time favourites. W [...]

Following from my previous post, which showcased all the seekers in Japanese packaging, I will now (over time) go through each seeker in more detail. [...]

This is #13 of 36 of the large lot of Japanese boxed TFs that I got from a stella American collector. This is 29 - Snarl in box, one of the 5 Dinobot [...]
