I stumbled across one of these on ebay a while back...

Transformers G1 box 4 DINOBOT 4 SOUNDWAVE 4 MIB LOT NR Item number: 6037588835

the seller said he was interested in doing other boxes for other transformers. As al11 made the sweetest decepticon jetfire box but still needed original inserts I've been trying to convince the seller to make recast inserts for the 1/55's. They would be plastic like the re-issue inserts but actually fit inside the vintage boxes which the re-issue inserts don't. I figure three insert molds would be all it would take to cover 90%+ of all the 1/55 vf's out there:

armor insert [jetfire, taka super, bandai super, chinese super, bandai strike]

fighter insert [jetfire, taka super, hi-metal super, chinese super]

Battroid insert [every taka single, taka gbp giftset, bandai strike, joon's, italian strike, matsushiro, and every other company that made a 1/55 besides toynami that wasn't packaged in fighter mode.]

I know I have at least 5 jetfire boxes that could keep my toys cat vomit free if I had inserts for them... but I refuse to spend $20+ on an original insert when I've gotten complete loose jetfires for the same price. Help me try and convince agentsmith7359 to make inserts. vote please so I can point out the potential of the market as the 1/55 was so prolific. I'd be happy if we can convince him to make inserts... but custom vf-1d boxes would be cool to ;)

at least we have more "don't care"s than "i'm retarded's"... for the moment at least. :rolleyes:

If he made anything for Macross fans, have him make a compact 1/48 box. Those Yammie boxes are rediculous.
