    Wish they were like that when I was a kid. You were lucky if the arms moved at all. I just looked that up and saw a bunch of other Masterpiece editions. Even Grimlock's little T-Rex arms move around.

    Materpiece soundwave...I have one. I also have grimlock. I collect transformers. I have over 200 pieces. Is a big thing that most people don't know about.

    My collection its worth a couple grand and I have them written specifically into my renters insurance. Its a very expensive hobby.

    Mrs Zace did understand it till the great optimus blunder of 2013. Went to toys r us and they had a masterpiece optimus prime, 4 of them. This was at fucking 8pm. Guy said they just got em im. Wife told me to get it, I said id wait. It was 120. I decide to pick one up at noon the following day. Gone.....never saw that damn thing in-store again. Had to wait because i wasnt paying 300 on ebay.

    Magnaboss. It was originally supposed to be 3 generation 1 autonots brought back to life. I would def rock that on my shelf.

    I got so much stuff Im running iut of space. I started collecting again about 5 years ago. I used to long ago but college and finances limited that.

    My respect for you just went through the roof...... I loved Transformers as a kid and to this day wish I had saved them. Most of them are probably buried somewhere on the beaches of Point Pleasant , NJ. I can remember for sure leaving Greedo there to fend for himself and sadly he never returned home. I was devastated as my mom had to send away for Greedo.

    I lost my originals after we moved when I was a child. I had everything, and my mom didny pay the storage bill so I lost em. I started off again with an animated grimlock and it just took off from there. I try to grab things when theyre in store because its really expensive once theyre out.

    I still have all my 80s transformers... The big ones like metroplex and scorpinoc are still in original (albeit dilapidated) boxes. Are they worth anything? Even got an original megatron and soundwave, but no box.

    Those two ive seen go for hundres to thousands. You def could get a good amount for it. Megs and soundwavr could still fetch you a good value.

    Wow cool, Pawn Stars had me thinking they wouldn't be worth more than 50 bucks. Now let's hope they haven't melted in my parents' Florida attic...
