Was that Reflector the real deal or like bootleg version I had as a kid? I ask because I've never seen a real version of him, just knock offs.

That's the real deal.  I've got one myself, which was a mail-away only item from Hasbro.

Very, very nice score for $65, btw

Sold it to my friend for a dollar... LOL 

Wasn't interested in it at the time, and he is a huge prime fan, buys them from every series. Wish I had it now, as I don't have one for my self. Rookie Mistake.

5 years ago i was driving home, I was rolling then i saw a couch in front of one of my neighbour. Between the cushions there was a black box with a big joe logo on the side. i did a u-turn and found a night raven box with the night raven inside ;-) 95% complete. I knocked on the door and asked the lady if she might have the missing part or other stuff. We went down in her basement and found a couple of missiles.

Before that, i went to the annual "salon des collectionneurs" in Drummondville (it's in St-Hyacinthe now) I was looking at some Joe figs when an old man told me that he had all this in his basement. I was skeptical at first he was like 70, but one of my friend told me he knew this guy and he saw his collection. I went to Magog where he lived and found around 340 figs from 1982 (straight arms) through 1994. He also had a big bag of accessories. I bought the lot for 150$

340 figs, 80% to 90% complete for 150$

Just to add to the thread.
This weekend, for $10, I got the most random of 80's toy parts:
- MASK figure and two helmets
- Transformer G1 Repugnus, G1 Ransack, G1 Stonecruncher, Optimus gun, Sludge gun
- He-Man Castle Greyskull ladder
- GI Joe WHALE cannon and cannon tip
- 2 Transformers from 2000/01
- 6 newer minicons
- a bag of stuff I don't recognize (a lot of free table stuff for the JoeCon!)
A little of everything. Wish the WHALE, Sludge or Prime was still there, but they must've disappeared years ago....
