Picked up the Titans Return Galvatron and Takara Stunticons during my **ahem** midlife milestone crisis last year.

The former is a great update to G1 without breaking the bank. Spent a little more on the Perfect Combiner upgrade kit to make Menasor look like he should.

Just for grins I picked up the Voyager Jetfire to display next to my G1 macross-ish version.

I'm way too old to have any interest in Transformers, I think that shit is stupid.

This came out in 1964, I was seven, it was an awesome toy.

I just remembered, when my Godson was a kid (25years ago) he had an action figure with a repair kit in it's ass, literally, you could open a door in his ass and there was a tool kit to fix him. You guys talk about millennial's, Gen X are total psycho's.

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.

I had that Voltron too, I lost the green lion head somehow and then lost interest in it. They've released new versions of it recently.

I wish I kept all my toys growing up. I had those wwf wrestling toys where half the guys are dead from Coke and roids. I had allot of the og transformers like Optimus and megatron. He man and mask were cool too. But nothing beat gi Joe when I was a kid

Now I see my nephews growing up some things have changed the transformers are cheap plastic now. They don't have much soldier stuff. Tmnt and marvel and Batman is what their into. And of course they love legos. But for them nothing beats those damn iPads

I liked to play baseball and football. At 10 I was all in with horses. I would ride every free minute. If I wasn't riding I was in the barn taking care of them and was always shadowed by one of our Aussies. Country boy.

I grew up in the sticks too but I still got fun things like comic books and action figures.
