forgot OP pic

I'm getting sucked into this ever since I watched this comfy youtube channel. I decided I always loved Transformers, despite becoming a kid after they peaked. I tried shopping for modern transformers because I didn't have the money or patience to shop for antique toys, but some of this new shit is as expensive as the antiques. I ended up cracking and buying an antique, but then I ended up learning about GoBots that was a separate company that competed with transformers at first before they got bought out. I do remember having just the head of this and having no idea why this Gobot had two heads, till I found he was a "combiner" or a transformer that is composed of individual bots you assemble together. One of the faces had fallen off of the bots, but overall I'm happy with my purchase, plus it was from a website that did a good job presenting the whole transformer line and history.

Looks like OP's intended pic is a Turtles fan. I still have a few of those. I wasn't a big ghostbusters fan but always wanted the car. Most of what I got was second hand from my neighbors.

Can't embed and post pic at the same time. You learn something everyday.

Vintage toys are fun. There's absolutely sovl there. I don't care for the modern toys- no diecast, rubber wheels, chrome, gimmicks.

I used to have a diecast gobot that looked just like a hot wheels and could actually fool most people. It's so much cooler than having a cartoon accurate goober.

Only virgins collect this shit.

Yes, and?

I make pocket money by reshipping toys for collectors in the UK like Lego Pirates, Hot Wheels (die-cast model cars more generally), He-Man/MotU, and Transformers.
