Where have you been getting this stuff Devy? Should I buy stock in Ebay or is this stuff from a local shop? If it is Ebay have you been happy with the quality?

If i have time tonight i will do a group shot.
I have been getting all of this stuff from ebay. I have a few more items on the way, but when they come in I am going to take a break from spending. As for the quality, over all I have been please. I had to get another tailgate because the pic did not show the yellowing very well. But i was only our 4.99. And I may need to replace pipes, but I may not.

I took a couple of pics. The first shot also shows the MOSC Hot Rod Patrol. The second shows a bit closer view of the Mini-Bots. In the back row you will see the Spanish Green Cliffjumper and the 3 Botcon exclusives.

Pipes is an awesome minibot. I was a big fan of Pipes as well when I was a cub. I always used his "pipes" as super powerfull cannons.

I'll never forget how I got my Bumblejumper. I had a friend whose parents ran a stand at the local flea market every weekend (this was somewhere around 1996). They had TFs for sale all the time. Some were rather pricey and others were very reasonable. Anyway, one day I saw a headless Bumblejumper with a broken section under the windshield in his TF stuff, and I asked him what he wanted for it. He knew exactly what it was, but since it was missing the head and had a broken part, he gave it to me for fr-fr-fr-free! Fast forward to about a year later. I was at a different flea market, and stumbled across ANOTHER junker Bumblejumper. This one had a missing arm, but was unbroken and had the head!! I asked the guy how much it was, and he charged $2. It would've been a high price if it was any other minibot with a missing arm, but I had no qualms about paying it for this particular toy! So as you can probably guess, I used the two junkers to make one complete Bumblejumper in primo shape!

I also found my Bumbljumper at a Flea Market around the early 90's
The woman selling it sold it with a Transformers book with a 45 record as a set for $5 I jumped on that in seconds
