that's funny, I was just thinking about that cartoon the other day, I used to rush home from school everyday to watch it(when it was on, which wasn't that long, if i remember correctly)

do they still sell these models at hobby shops or are they more rare than that these days?

The old juans are die-cast, just like the old school transformers
