May Acquisitions

Picked up from the post office on Friday, my first Tonka Transformers - Rescue Roy and Policeman Pete.
One of my collection objectives is to try to at least sample every line of TFs, so I've been looking out for the five Tonka Transformers for a number of years now. They just never show up on ebay (at least, not by name, as most collectors who would know their names, weren't the ones buying these).
When I saw both a couple weeks ago, I managed to get both very cheaply, and when they arrived, was surprised at how big Roy was. It's the size and weight of a Leader Class toy, and comes with electronics too. And I think I paid about $5 plus shipping for it, so I'm very happy.



And the transformations of both weren't as simplistic as I was expecting, considering the younger age-group these are targetting.



The other subline I still want to get a few of is the Big Adventures.

Rescue Roy looks awesome... damn I hate how that toy wasn't sold here. Have you seen the Big Adventures cartoon? It has the most annoying stick-in-your head theme song ever!

"Go Go Go-Bots, Transformers Go-Bots!" GRAAAAAAAAAARGH! <screams>
