just looking to clear something up, the combiner teams from G1 all are available individually packaged and usually come up on ebay etc. The giftsets however am not to sure which ones were actually released either in the united kindom or the usa. Have come across devastator and superion  but the rest i.e defensor, bruticus, menasor, piranacon and my fav predaking i havent a clue please help as im after all of them if they are available. Read somewhere that predakings set only came out in japan which sucks.

all combiners came out in giftsets and are very hard to get

you have

superion, computron, defensor, bruticus, abominus, menasor, predaking, piranacon, devastator

then thers the ones like, dino king japan only and a few others, monstructor being another one but im not sure if this was a giftset or not

the giftsets will set you back around £150 upawards i think for a good one

yu can get a predaking reissue for about £150 which i think would be the best bet as a non reissue would be around £250 id say if you can find one

im in the same boat as you with the giftsets, i have menasor, defensor and devastator at the mo, looking at superion now, even though i alread have him with box and card backs id like a gifset version

the decepticon ones, i dont know if i could spend that much on them im not sure, so will depend how bad i want it and how good it is, as im looking at almost £200 a piece if i can find them

my best advice would just get them loose unless you plan on keeping them in boxes and in dark cupboards

The loose ones are dead easy to come across, was hoping to get a box for my predaking and not a custom box either ( loads of fake devastator boxes doing the rounds at the moment to) not really interested in the jap only lines.  Prices for the giftsets are steep and keeping them in a cupboard is how my collections stored anyways (girlfriends orders ) So you are 100% certain that il one day see bruticus,abominus,etc etc giftsets.  yikes creditcard will come in handy lol

Prices are going threw the roof for a lot of the tfs.         &n bsp;         &n bsp;     Not to mention people on ebay having there mates push the prices up on items (swines) oh and afterwards you get a message (you've recieved a second chance offer), im quite polite when i reply  

Quite enjoying buying the odd member of a combiner team for a few quid here and there, my gesalt line up looks like its gone to war, gone to hospital and had arms and legs amputated lol.
