Transformers and other childhood toys

[AussieBear]

i take it a few of you are transformer fans. so a thread to share some shat.

the wife opened up some childhood shat by bringing me home starscream... im going to start collecting some pieces under the guise of office art that the kid can play with when he is older.

im also starting with a knock off.. its still cool though imo... looks way better than the original

JinBao devastator can be had around 30-40 bucks aud.. they make a die cast model for 100 or so aud

 

[AussieBear]

i want the jinbao bruticus.. but its 150-200 aud

 

[AussieBear]

predaking and superion

 

[AussieBear]

will call it a day afta ordering that 20" (13" head to feet, other 7' from the crane/bucket arms) knockoff devastator, this unbranded 7" age of extinction prime and knock off 7" megatron tank for 10 bucks a piece.. need to order some decals next..

Dude, the third party companies are killing Hasbro and Takara at their own game. That Galvatron is a far cry from the crappy one we had as kids.

Aussie, look up the other Fan Toys third party transformers, they're works of art.

hmm.. i guess i could collect cheap ones that the boy and i could play with... and slowly pull from the expensive ones as display pieces

Aussie, you really should buy the oversize MP 10 Prime third party figure. I'm sure you can find him for relatively inexpensive on ebay, probably $120 or so.

One of my favorites was a diecast Voltron set that my mother sold at a garage sale without telling me some time when I was a teenager. Apparently those fucking things go for between $200 and $350 now; I should send her a bill.
