Toy Pics At The Pickering Flea Market

Pics from my buddy "M's" recent visit to one of our local flea markets.  I always find these visits fascinating because of what you can find there and sometimes at how outrageous some of the prices are.   

On with the picture show!

Dimension Exploration Researchers (aka G1 Gobots) (aka eHobby Minibots) (MIB)

I thought that I would post these two sets together because a friend of mine finally pulled the trigger and picked one of these beauties up for himself. I wasn't hunting for mine when I purchased it a few years ago….I didn't even know much about the background of the figures either, but I was immediately drawn to their colour variations and sometimes as a collector, it only takes something like that for you to add a piece to your collection.

Yes, they are essentially just reissues, but in the world of redecos they are definitely near the top of the list. Also, they have such a fun little backstory that to me which also adds to their interest.
