((You can see the sticker on the back which leads me to believe
based on past carded cassettes that I have seen that Broadside was 
Made in China post G1.  Is this true?  Is there a thread or a posting that
lists all those G1s that were KO'ed in this manner?  I do remember
that all the dinobots were.))

-Broadside is "new" to me, but doesn't really surprise me; haven't
seen any of the Dinobots, though. All the obvisou signs are there on 
this Broadside: The sticker you mention, the sticker on the top right-hand
 corner of the flap front and (what appears from afar to be) a truncated
 copyright statement on the back. -Martin-


((CRAP.  This is truly scary.  I was stuck with the dinos on a number of
occasions as they get posted quite often on auction sites.   They were
mainly sold in the JPN market.))

-You can tell the Chinese versions quite easily since the dino bubble
inserts had additional tabs on the corners and they only came with
instructions and the sticker label as this Broadside does.  None of
the Chinese dinos came with those additional Chinese sticker labels on
the box though and that is where you can make a mistake if pics of the
item only show the front of the box.-
