Very Nice collection TJ!! I always liked Puzzler even though I dont have him, just components.Do you happen to have any of the monsters?. Well my gobot display is limited now to the Guradian "doggie" base and the big Deluxe Leader 1 and Cy-Kill. the littluns versions are inside the doggie base as I have no space hehehe.

They were available in all Australian toy/department stores, 5FDP. You can find three of them here (thanks to Jhiaxus, me, Robzy and Tom from Counter-X): http://counter-x.net/gobots/comic/ma...men/index.html

Yep, they're the ones. Is there anything you don't know SS? I'm starting to think you and Goki are one and the same person (of course I don't really think that since I've seen you both at the fair at the same time)

Great collection! Some excellent figures there!

Puzzler has always intrigued me as he looks to be a really well designed combiner - For a Bandai/Gobots set.

I dig the Rocklords though, their concept is absolutely ludicrous but the figures I loved as a kid and have often thought of trying to reacquire some - TFs tend to push that whim out of the way though.

puzzler is great,in that the combining them requires no extra parts(like bw combiners etc..)
i agree on the rocklords,quite odd alt modes!! imagine if this was what the beast wars characters where scanned & assigned with!?! ...nuggit(gold rock lord could be transmetal!?)

If anyone still has the first issue (black on yellow paper with a competition for a silver Porche Man [Crasher]) it would be great to have them all archived.

Holy crap - TJparkside - you have one of the silver Crashers! I used to have a Gold Baron Von Joy that I won from issue #2, but he's long since disappeared into the aether.

i don't have any of those comics,but remember them now thanks to that link!
i have never seen a gold baron von joy,that would be nice!!
how limited where these figures?

Great Collection! Brings back memories of when I was a kid. Recognise a couple I use to own. Still have a couple..I think. An orange bulldozer and a sea plane; both broken.
Still have nugget and the red rocklord.

thanks liegeprime!
i have only one of the monsters-gore jaw..the others are fright face/heart attack/weird wing/fangs/south claw.6 monsters make monsterous.
i only have puzzler out for display,the rest are bagged & in a container,due to (same) space issues... that would be a nice display though;leader 1/cy-kill/guardian base!

Interesting... you wouldn't happen to have the free comics that were available through Myer (I think it was that store)? I did have them all but they were lost many moves ago

i have posted a pic of the front and back cover of the comic i have! this one may have been free at myer?...can't remember? i can scan & make a pdf if needed!
