Check out the new HighendTFs toy store:

http://www.highendtfs.com/store/index.php

It's got a couple AFA-graded Transformers and a bunch of Korean and Japanese import toys from Galaxy Force, Brave Series, Go-Onger, etc. I'll be trying to integrate it better into the main site in the coming weeks. Thanks!

If you follow TFW's thread for IDing counterfeits, you've already seen the Prowl ID guide I came up with a few weeks back. I've been busy, so I'm just now getting around to putting it on the site:

Also, tfw poster blahduh just posted a link to a page showing an upcoming counterfeit Shockwave.

Lastly, in case you haven't heard, Kiditoys has been putting their counterfeit Metroplex in Encore packaging. Some stores got duped--It sucks. Here's a thread about it with some more info.

The Counterfeit Metroplex ID Guide is up now as well! Check it out here

Finally, I've updated the counterfeit ID guide with in-depth ID guides for Frenzy/Laserbeak and Ravage/Rumble. I've also added better information to the main ID guide for IDing counterfeit Ratbat/Frenzy. Check everything out in the Counterfeit ID Guide section. I think you guys will be very happy with these. It turns out the Ratbat set is VERY easy to ID. And the Frenzy/Laserbeak and Ravage/Rumble both have enough tells that it's not too difficult. Enjoy!

Counterfeit Cyclonus, Scourge, and Wheeljack are out now. We thought that maybe they would stop making them since they're not allowed on Ebay anymore, but apparently they'll continue. Oh well. Anyway, I just added ID guides for the counterfeit Cyclonus and Scourge that just came out. Check them out in the G1 Counterfeit ID Guide, or click on them here:

A work-in-progress of a reissue/counterfeit ID guide is up. It's aimed at distinguishing 1980's US releases from subsequent reissues and counterfeits that look nearly identical. (Note that this does not include the recent Hasbro and Takara reissues--I'm talking mainly about the 1990's Chinese ones.) Click the link on the menu above to go to it.

Welcome to Highendtfs.com! The site is still very early in development, but I'm hoping to make it a great resource for collectors of high-end Transformers toys, including MISB, AFA graded, Lucky Draw, Prototypes, and more. I plan to include on the site a news section, some collecting guides, a forum, and so on. Right now the site is pretty bare, but feel free to leave a message by registering on the site and then leaving a comment at the bottom of this article.

Thanks for stopping by!
