More than meets the eye!?
 
Transformers own, comments?

Unicron > all other transformers combined.

Agreed. Owns all other 80's shows i think. Maybe i just grew up in that time tho.

lol!!

Robots in disguise...

Funny thing is I found my original 'Bumblebee' transformer in a box the other day! Used to love when you could rub their logo to see if they were good or bad!

I hate the new versions. Actually I hate that there's so many re-releases of the cool eighties toys. The new He-Men are horrible. Even the new Care Bears have plastic welded hair instead of actual synthetic hair.

Actual synthetic - bit of a contradiction there!!!

Lol, how much are you asking for your bumblebee?

Some of the new ones arn't to bad, I baught a new Unicron action figure a while back. I couldn't resist buying a 16" tall planet devouring trasnformer FROM HELL.

I think I'll keep Bumblebee! Only for nostalgic reasons - it's the only one that survived intact, the many others were all in bits and I think they've been thrown away now. Also found an old Thundercats figure! I wish I had kept my Dune figures as they would of been worth something! Still have a Battlestar Galactica ship though!

Yeah, I ave a few remnants of parts of Transformers, but othe then Unircron I don't have any vintage ones.

I have a growing collection of Generation 1 Transformers. Altho they are the reissues, because theres no way im paying $90 when i can get the exact same thing, NEW, for $30 i have currently.

1)Optimus Prime (original)
2)Hot Rod
3)Starscream
4)Thundercracker
5)Sky Warp
6)Prowl
7)Tracks
8)Blurr (this one is vintage, not a reissue)
9)Jazz
10)Inferno
11)Gnaw the Sharkticon (vintage as well)
12)and Red Alert

I cant wait to get some more tho, i love these guys.

The reissues are worthless hacks of true transformers. A clone is not the real thing.

Original > reissues.

In most cases i would agree. Authenticity and pure nostolgia reasons, but being logical, it makes more financial sense to buy the reissues. As much as buying 80's toys for nostolgia CAN make any financial sense....

Lol, I can agree for the most part, but 80's nostlgia toys can be profitable investments...assuming you dont talk yourself into playing with them. :p
