Things you never realised about Transformers (toys etc)

00s, so yeah.

I have wisdom though , years and years of wisdom

You must still be in school!

Please forgive us G1 old timers. We are the children of the 80s.

LOL! Yeah I am.

My dad grew up with G1! :O He had a huge collection of G1 figures and sold them off a few years after they were married. He said that TFs aren't worth anything any more and he only got about $150 for almost all of the Season 1 cast and most of Season 2 and some of 3. He must have kicked himself in the butt a few years after I was born and showed me the 80s movie and I started wanting the toys. He started buying some G1 figures online. I had Hoist, Wheeljack, Prowl, Seaspray, Beachcomber, Brawn and Wheelie. Then I got some Transformers Cybertron Legends, Some Movie Legends, Scouts and Deluxes, and my last TF before I lost interest was Animated Bulkhead and the Jetfire/Jetstorm pack.

And because of Age of Extinction I got back into Transformers.

Yeah. I got drawn back in THAT easily.

Never realised how much Actionmaster Sideswipe is worth due to his rarity

Weird considering how he was a massive pegwarmer. But then again, that may be why he's so rare -- few people bothered to purchase him from stores, thus leading to fewer numbers on the secondary market. Many earlier G1 toys may often fetch relatively cheaper prices because they were more popular, thus larger numbers of them exist on the aftermarket. Later G1 toys were probably manufactured in far fewer numbers too.

Eh... IMO one would be better off just spending the money on an MP Lambor, even off the secondary market or even from TRU. Still way better value than the non-transformable rubbish that is AM Sideswipe (although as AMs go, Sideswipe's pretty nice ).

He is pretty cool. After I spent the long time completing him, it'll be kinda sad to see him go.
