Wow, Fraggle Rock, I have like 5 or 6 of those carrot car ones, I wonder if they're worth anything.

I used to take those red stoppers off, or spraypaint them black, then scare my friends and tell them it was my dad's gun, haha.

Originally posted by trewqy yeah i remembered.. especially the horse flying thingy. the cartoon looked ridiculous at first, but i was totally hooked after watching it the first time. I think it was called SABER raiders. shiiieet. this is my baby. 20th anniversary Optimus Prime Masterpiece. It is definitely the best replica of the real optimus prime. I is very poseable..even the fingers could bend..and it can transform into the truck..though it would take you almost a lifetime to figure how. I only did it once cause it was just too tedious. Even has the matrix inside its chest which lights up and its mouth can move just like the cartoon legend!! Cost me almost 100 bucks..but its well worth it since its more of a collectors item

Fully transformable too??? That's awesome! Really nice piece, for sure!

I can't wait to get my piece this week (hopefully.)

hot wheels, legos, lego men especially...

I was digging around, looking for some stuff when I found my Generation 2 Dinobot, Snarl.

Stegosaurus mode:


Robot mode:



Also found another one. One of the newer ones, from the Robots In Disguise series, circa 2002 or so. I don't even remember this guy's name.

Train mode:


Robot mode:


The newers ones just don't have the appeal (or simplicity in Transforming) that the old ones did.

And here's my last one, Rollbar. He's a ROBOTS IN DISGUISE series transformer, but his design is a 100% knock-off of Swindel from the Combaticons (as shown on next page):

Jeep mode:


Robot mode:

dude, how much did you pay for the optimus prime? i've looked around and they're easily over $100.

Growing up my favorite toys were GI Joe & Star Wars.

My friends & i would fight over who got Bobba Fett & Snake Eyes.

You're not far off, dude. The one I ordered was a Korean re-issue, and was going for $74.99 + shipping.

I still wanna kick myself for selling my G.I. Joes.

I ended up selling off my Atari, NES, and SNES for a stupid skateboard oh so long ago in my pre-teen years (retarded-ass skater phase!! ) That had to be one of the dumbest decisions I've ever made, but I was young.

I never sold my toys though, and actually in the dark recesses of the 'rents house there is still a trunk full of toys, mostly Transformers (best. toys. ever.) and G.I. Joes. I still have the original Optimus Prime

One of the few good things my mom did, is that every garage sale someone we knew ever had, my bro & i werent allowed to sell our star wars & gi joe even though we were in high school & had no need for em. My mom said we would appreciate it one day & she was right. Now baseball & football cards she didnt give a shit abt
