This is the kinda’ shit that bothers me about colecting TF’s. $70.00 for a fucking seeker? I can understand inflation and adding a few bucks for collectability, but fuck, that’s just price gouging right there. We got near-perfect reproductions of both when TRU released them a few years back and they were only $30.00.
I can go on Ebay and buy original incomplete seekers and piece them together easily for $20.00 a pop. And the recent swarm of over-priced KO’s are bullshit too. Part of the charm of being a KO is that you don’t have to pay as much to buy the original, but prices on KO’s are almost as much - if not more - than the originals.
And I never liked Metroplex. He looked like a giant robot with tubes on his ears, giant square tits and an itty-bitty waist.
He thought I was too old to still be buying toys. I was 13 for christ’s sake, I’m 34 now and still buying toys. But he did the same thing to me when I bought Ultra Magnus too. I saved up my paper route money for 2 weeks and rode my bike 3 miles to our local Target. Bought him, got him home and started putting stickers on him. My dad walked into my room and asked where I got it from. He saw the bag and made me take it back.
A few months later, I convinced my grandfather to take me to the mall where I bought my Predacons. Got home but my dad was watering the front yard and asked what I bought. He took me back to the mall and made me return them. 'Twas a sad day indeed.
I am thinking of attending a Botcon next year BUT I have to way up the money and day off since I would be flying in from England
Also I hate the way certain transformers were fazed out from season 2 into 3 onwards
also what happened to starscream as he got another body and Galvatron shit him and then Cyclonus said ‘‘that’s funny I never seen a ghost tumble through space’’ and that was it
also I hate the way the dinobots never really got involved in S3 apart from being suspected of stealing shit when it was really Triptycon
I’m really not that into Transformers. I was during Beast Wars and what I didn’t have my next door neighbors had (two brothers only a year apart so that was cool for all three of us). Once Transmetals hit I was disgusted with Beast Wars toys.
YEARS LONG BREAK
I spring on a super cheap Optimus Prime Classic from Amazon (like $7 bucks) and was in love. I then tried to get the rest of the Classics line but they are all just too expensive. I settled on Jetfire, Mirage, and Megatron. My holy grail is Leo Prime. Even before I got into Classics I was eying him from afar. But now it’s way too late. If anyone can find me a Leo Prime I’d love him/her forever and ever.
Saotomi… make my dreams come true.
It was meh. I just enjoyed Megatron. Whenever he was on screen I was happy. Oh and Sari being a smart ass. That gave Sumdac one creepy ass face at the end when Megatron was holding him. He looked both pissed off and mischievous at the same time. And he was breathing rather heavily. VERY DISTURBING.
There was an auction on eBay for an MP Prime (with trailer I believe) that was half what it usually runs for, but the other half was then applied to shipping. So it was $100 S&H.
