I'm jealous!

I could have bought 2 masterpiece Thundercracker s at the Plymouth TRU (buy one get one 1/2 off) during a hasbro promo but passed. Not a fan of him and budget was tight.  I did manage to find a mp OP in Bloomington 2 weeks prior.  O0

How come no Megatron in those pics?  I have a played with, complete g1 with box and styrofoam and a nib takara reissue.  8)
MP Megatron was too much. By the time I got into collecting TF and rekin-dou my inner childhood lane  . I'm pretty sure they will make a better MP Megatron, to be in scale with MP Prime.

Speaking of MP Prime, I was sooo happy that I found him. I went high and low to look for him, but every time I call TRU... They are sold out... I went as far as to even know when their trucks stop by. But lucky I went their later then usual. And they have just got the shipment in. I only saw 1 Prime.. But I found that there were about 5  of them so I called my buddy to come over and get his. LOL. They only allow you to get 2 per costumer. That's how HOT that toy was. When they came out 1st wave it was $99.00, by the time I found mine. It had jumped to $120.00. So I really lost out.
I'm pretty sure the 1st wave to come out was like buy 1 get 50% off the next one. But you have to time it correctly to their promo. Only gripe I have with mine was that Spike came with 2 left tights. So he won't sit rite. I have to pop his thighs off if I want him to sit. Vice versa. :(

As for MP Thunder Cracker. I missed out. during the hunt for MP Prime I missed the first wave at TRU. I had to order mine. Then when I found out that TRU was getting some more..And then I went and pick up another one up. "You will regret not getting him for sooo cheap".

I like those deal buy one get 50% off.
That's how I got 2 Mp Hot Rod. I'm still kicking myself for not getting 2 MP Grimlock. :(  I wanna take him out to play, but I want to keep him minted box. Now he goes between 2-3 hundo. The Takara goes even more. Gosh. I don't have that kinda moola's.

BTW.. MP Soundwave will be coming out this Fall. With all his little minions. Expect me to go looking for another one or maybe 2 of 'em. LOL I already have the Takara MP Soundwave already. So I won't go all crazy and search high and low for him. But expect me to go hunting for him when  he comes out to TRU exclusive.

I had the lion, buzzard, and bull for predaking as a kid. I was dumb for not packing away my tf toys. My younger brothers ended up trading away my toys for stupid Pokemon cards. Frikken idiots!! :knuppel2:

One year, after many years of disappointing gifts, my dad actually asked me what I wanted for Christmas and gave me the choice of buying the complete lion Voltron or Devastator set.   I picked Voltron. :idiot2:   FAIL!!!!  :'(

^^ Many years ago I went to TRU and found Voltron the Lion Force. And a Optimus Prime, but not his G1 but some other version. I bought it and never opened till like 2-3 yrs. Then I decided to open and play with it. My little brothers at that time were like 10-13 yrs old. Wanted to play with the toy. At 1st I was like NO, then sub come to my brotherly love and let them play with it. Boy I knew it was a wrong choice. Anyways I went out and later that day. The red and green lion's head were gone and black lion was in half. lol (Big Fail). And that was the last time I ever had Voltron in my hand. I still want him but not gonna fork out 3-4 hundo(s) for him.

I bought 3 Toys R Us reissue Optimus Primes like 10 years ago.  Gave one to my bil for Xmas like 4-5 years ago.  Let my then 6 yo son open up one 2 years ago.  His eyes lit up!  That sight was way better than just letting it sit and collect dust.

However, he knows I have a G1 Megatron and that he won't get to see or play with it until he's much older...  :knuppel2:

^^ Ron, bet ur BIL was like dam... Best gift ever:). Yeah its nice to have G1 megatron, sad thing about it is... U can't go running around with Mega in his gun mode. Like we use to do back then...
meg. Is hard to find now, unless you wanna fork a good hundo for him.

My kids sees my MP toys behind glass case. and are allow to only play with the cyber verse ones only. Heck they're around 4-5 bucks. And if they break it or lose it. I won't get mad. But until they are older and understand the value of the toys, only then they can hold it and play with.

A lot of my TF i' ve never transformed it.

He liked it but I think he let his kids open and play with it, too...  Oh well...  ::)

I tell you though...  Cartoons and toys have sucked since the 90's.  Heck my two younger brothers (in their mid-20's) only had Pokemon.  How lame is that??  ;D

They missed out on the classics like TF, GI Joe, Silverhawks, Thundercats, and even He-Man.  Heck, I even loved watching Dungeons and Dragons on Saturday mornings.  I have that dvd but still don't know if those kids ever made it home. :dontknow:
