Dinobot Slag – Transformers G1

Dinobot Slag 1985 Transformers Generation 1 Autobot

Here’s another loose Transformer that I just purchased – this one’s “Slag” – one of the 5 Dinobots. As a kid, I had Sludge, Grimlock, and Snarl. I now have the Dinobot Slag and I’m trying to see if I can complete the set and get Swoop, but he seems to be the hardest to get and the most expensive because you rarely find him in good condition. I’ve noticed he usually has a broken beak or wings. When I do find him in good condition, he’s at least $70-80 loose and 100+ in box.

Perceptor – Transformers G1

Dave January 10, 2014 Hasbro, Takara, Transformers, Transformers, Transformers 1 Comment

Here’s another new one I just got and another one I never had as a kid – Perceptor – the Autobot scientist. I picked him up for 30 dollars and I’m quite happy with him as he’s mostly complete and he has very little wear. I would have picked him up as a kid but they just kept pumping out Transformers and I couldn’t keep up!

Whirl Transformers 1985 Generation 1

Dave January 10, 2014 Hasbro, Special Armored Battalion Dorvack, Transformers, Transformers 2 Comments

Here’s a new one that I just got from Ebay – loose – “Whirl.” This one was never in the cartoon and he’s originally part of the “Dorvack” cartoon and was originally released by Takatoku Toys. The other robots in this series were “Mugen Calibur” (re-released as “Roadbuster” for the Transformers) and Tulcas (which was not released as a Transformer).

I’ve never had a great love for Whirl, but since I already had Mugen Calibur/Roadbuster – I thought it would be cool to have the set. Plus, he’s rare and when I saw him for 30 dollars, I thought it was a fair price.

Insecticons Transformers G1

Dave January 6, 2014 Hasbro, Transformers, Transformers No Comments

Here’s a set of Insecticons that I just got from Ebay. I think I only paid 30 -35 for the set. I never had these as a kid but I want to get at least, all of the original 1st season Transformers G1’s. There is also another group of Insecticons called the “Deluxe Insecticons” but they are have a different color scheme and they were never portrayed in the cartoon. Below are the original three Insecticons -Kickback, Bombshell, and Shrapnel. I am really glad I have all 3 of them. Insecticons Transformers Hasbro Generation 1 G1 Kickback Bombshell Shrapnel

Ultra Magnus Transformers G1

Dave January 6, 2014 Hasbro, Transformers, Transformers No Comments

Here’s a loose Ultra Magnus that I picked up on Ebay. I just got a more complete one with the belt, bigger head, chest piece, missile launchers and fists. He looks much, much better complete. He’s the same body as Optimus Prime but just in white. Ultra Magnus Transformers

Here’s one that I just got from Ebay – brand new in box for 45 dollars- Ricochet. This is basically the same body as Jazz but he’s black. I don’t believe this character was in the cartoon and I don’t recall seeing him as a kid but I’m glad to have him. I now have both Porsche 911 robots.

Skids Transformers G1 Commemorative Series VIII 2004

Dave January 4, 2014 Hasbro, Transformers, Transformers 2 Comments

Here’s a new one I just got from Ebay – Skids. The original came out as part of the “Diaclone” series (pre-Transformers) back in the 80’s. I vividly remember seeing this as a kid in Japan while on vacation in 1983. I didn’t think too much of them because I was intent on getting the big Godaikin robots. Anyway, I took him out of the box and put on a few of his stickers so that he would look good for his picture. I have left all the accessories in the box because I don’t want to lose them.

Transformers Generation 1 Smokescreen Commemorative Series VI 2003

Here’s a brand new in box, Toys R Us reissue Smokescreen from the early 2000’s. I just picked him up on Ebay for a pretty good price – I think it was about 35.

I don’t recall ever having this one as a kid. I now have all the Datsun 280 ZX molds. The other two are Silverstreak and Prowl as pictured below.

Trailbreaker Transformers G1

Here’s a loose Trailbreaker Transformers G1 that I just picked up on Ebay. I had this as a kid but probably traded him. He’s missing the fists but that’s ok. I now have both Ford Bronco trucks. The other robot that shares the same mold is Hoist (the green robot below)

Gundam Theme Display

Here’s most of the Gundams that I have recently purchased. The 3 on the top shelf are models, that I’m displaying since the models may get broken if I try to re-pack them. Most of the stuff I have displayed are Gundam but I have a few Transformers and Diarobos since they’re small.
