KID's from the 80's this is for you!!!!

[Calvin]

The christmas when I got this still goes down as my favorite of all time.

 

[Erzengel]

Loved these

I can't believe we were so naive back then that we bought toys that were just repaints of others. I mean c'mon Bumblebee and Cliffjumper were the exact same vehicle but one was yellow and one was red. There were so many instances like this in Transformers.

 

[Calvin]

But you have to admit, the info on the back of the packaging was pretty engaging for each character.

 

[Erzengel]

I noticed it when I was younger I just didn't care.

 

[Obi-Ron]

May be more 70's than 80's, but still cool.

M.U.S.C.L.E.

Oh Snap! I had a frafrillion of those things.

Actually Bumblebee and Cliff Jumper were shaped differently...I am looking at mine right now...Bumblebee is a VW beetle and Cliffjumper is...something else...he is more squared off...sleeker lines.

Seriously-- how much ass did this toy kick? Macross or not, Jetfire was hands-down one of the best G1 Transformers.

OK I really need to stop now, because I could do this all night...

Oh man I had that. I have zero clue what happened to all my toys. But I started a new collection about 2 years ago. This is the latest one I've bought. I know its not an 80's toy but I'll be damned if it doesn't pay homage to the 80's.

 

[DOG LIPS]

GUTS!!!!!!

Holy crap I'm gettin my ass on eBay right now.

 

[nosebleed.]

I still have a bunch of these:

Goddamn, I want that one. Which line is it? I might have to start buying these suckers again. I went on a Beast Wars binge all of a sudden about 6 or so years ago, it was pretty fun getting those. Funny looks or not.

In Japan its Masterpiece Optimus Prime. Stateside its 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime. Its a heavy sucker that was well worth the 50 bucks for the US version. 90+ bucks for the Takara version.

I have my Optimus Primal on top of my computer

 

[Calvin]

Oh, it's metal? I miss the days of metal transformers. Might have to spend a bit of christmas money on this sucker.

Shoot, where did you find it for 50? A quick search has left me with like 80 at the lowest.

I got it when it first came out from eBay. Then I was walking around Wal-Mart one day and I found one there...bought that too. So I opened the Wal-Mart one and the one I got from eBay is NIB.

I haven't opened the Takara version...that one is going to remain a virgin forever.

Takara Masterpiece Optimus Prime

US 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime

Same toy but the Takara version has higher smokestacks and has more metal than the Hasbro version.
