The Golden years of the toy hunt, it's rarely that exciting these days. though it's been a long time since I was part of a school excursion.Originally Posted by 5FDP
I hear ya! Back in 1991 when I was in year 10, we went on a school excursion to the city and I broke away from the main group during lunch to go Transformer shopping. I managed to get a Classic Astrotrain with money I had from selling stuff at school (nothing illegal, just Star Wars toys and Doctor Who books which I had already read). Because I was 16 at the time and my parents thought I should have outgrown toys when I turned 10, I had to sneak it inside the house. There was no way I was going to pass up the opportunity to buy it, regardless of what anyone thought.
I've always quite liked that mold, the transformation tries something different, and some of it turns out well, some not so well. while there's not a massive amount of articulation in the legs in robot mode, I think the Alt mode is really expressive, as long as you don't gank it up with the weapon.That toy did make a pretty good repaint (well, for some)
