Detron's Toys, (Transformers, G.I. Joe, etc)

[detron]

OK, so over in my $12 display thread Metro said he was more interested in the transformers, and others asked about the toys, so here goes.

These are in the basement, (apparently I need to dust them again, as pointed out by the camera flash)

I am open to trading them, if you need/want something from this, let me know.












The small boxes at the upper right are not official Transformer toys












This Devastator is not the Official Hasbro toy, it is a knock Off

Those were the days    I used to have a bunch of Transformers too but I didn't take as good a care of mine    Then they got stored in my walk-in attic where they now reside full of rat poop and urine... Ah well...

I wish I had all of mine from my childhood  (not that there were so many, but they would be worth a lot)

I had the original Optimus Prime and Megatron, and about 4 others.

I received the Original Millennium Falcon and an X-Wing one Christmas, but only had them for 8 hours as my cousins house burnt down and they lost everything.  I gave one the X-Wing and the other the Millennium Falcon .  This was my decision as a 7 year old, and I do not regret it, though I would have preferred their house had not burned down.


these are toys I bought as an adult.

There is a year of the snake Optimus Prime.

[Whoey]

a lot of old memories there, I had a whole lot of G.I.Joe figures in the past, and some of the earlier transformers too, I had the original Devastator set... no idea what happened to it, still have the aerialbots in a box somewhere.

[Whoey]

oh, and nice to see Boba Fett in there... I have a bit of a "Bobafettish" 





and that's not including some of my latest additions...   

[detron]

very nice!  I like Boba Fett.  I was going to ask if you had a FETish, but you beat me too it.

[Whoey]

yup, it's hard not to add to the collection, and even my wife has contributed a couple of the ones there, but she now claims she can no longer tell which ones I have or don't.

[Grant Lamontagne]

I have to try really hard not to buy toys these days. A friend of mine owns a comic shop that also deals in old toys and I have found more than a few memories there.  Most of my old Transformers are in boxes at my parent's place, and most of my old GI Joes didn't fare so well when I discovered pellet guns and firecrackers.   

I have a Beast Wars Megatron and Optimal Optimus kicking around here somewhere, but that's about it.

That's where I got the 30th anniversary Mcquarrie Prototype Fett.

Since I have an olive drab Jeep Wrangler and a yellow Jeep TJ I am finding it harder and harder not to buy the Hound and Swindle Transformers that are officially recognized by Jeep...





Yes, I actually am that sad...  I just hope they don't start fighting in the yard some night!

better prep the gopros just in case...

[Grant Lamontagne]

They are on charge right now actually, but that's for tomorrow's kayak trip.

I actually still have a garbage bag with several of my old Transformers here in my closet.  However, much like Grant, I wasn't too kind to several of them during my destructive phase   I had Ultra Magnus and pretty much destroyed him by throwing rocks at him as if he were being shot at in battle.  I did that with several, and some G.I. Joes died in various ways as well   I have around 20 Transformers I've collected over that past several years, but like Detron, MTs/SAKs have become my new toys.  I still check out what ones are in the stores, and sometimes really want to get one, but I prefer to save that money towards my next MT/SAK purchase. 

Although I wouldn't mind that Starscream (the Classics type one, not the movie version) as I don't have any of him...nothing to offer in trade though.  Maybe someday I'll have something that will work.

[CanadianLMfan]

I like the Slave 1 Whoey.

do you mean this one?

I have one of those open as well as in the box

[Aloha]

very neat Detron.  now you have some very well behaved children or they don't like transformers/gi joe/starwars?

They have thier own toys,  however I have lost several of mine to the kids.   They are allowed to play with the open Transformers, but have not asked to in over a year.

I have not bought any tips on over a year or two,  maybe even three.

Yes, that is the one  

[detron]

the transformation is not  the same as the Generation 1 toys, but the look is similar, and he looks cool as a robot .

[sawman]

@detron - do you have the Ambulance?

I never had the G1 version of any of the seekers actually, but the newer ones are better looking representations to the cartoons/comic version we picture them as.  The G1 toys weren't always very good matches to their media counterparts. 

@Sawman...you must be talking about Ratchet?

[detron]

@detron - do you have the Ambulance?

Sorry, I do not

PS, thanks for the assistance while I was not online Monrogue

Hey no prob-I'm always up for some Transformers discussion

[Whoey]

I like the Slave 1 Whoey.

which one?

[Whoey]

since today is "Throwback Thursday" I dug out my G1 Transformers that I brought back from Canada.

Here's a photo of my "Combiners"  Superion (Aerialbots), Menasor (Stunticons) and Devastator (Constructicons)

[Grant Lamontagne]

Very cool!

Love it Whoey!  I sucked at completing combiner sets unfortunately   I only completed the Terrorcons (Abominus I believe was his name).  I had one of the Aerialbots, a couple of the Technobots, three of the Predacons (which I really wish I'd completed as Predaking is a beast).  I'll have to dig Abominus out sometime and take a pic.  It's surprising how small many of these are actually, which is part of the reason I would have liked a completed Predaking.
