Transformers Parts Identification Aid
In the years I spent building my US collection (mostly at flea markets), I found the most difficult task was learning to identify
all the different parts that go with each toy. There was very little to work with. The catalogs are filled with errors, IF you can even
find them!
I'd think I shouldn't have to state this, but this is obviously not a for sale page. These are my parts, that go to my toys. So please stop sending me "How much for all the parts to Trypticon?" e-mails! THEY AREN'T FOR SALE!!!
BTW: If you find you have extra parts, please bounce over to my parts Trading Post!
Good Luck!
