Well I DID, but now I dont know what I want! I had figured that this was a safely skippable set, but I also love cassette-formers....

Dammit, don't make we want that set!

And how! Plus the occasional weird bug or animal robot.

I actually kind of miss all the KO Transformers that they use to have over there on pretty constant rotation until a few years ago.

That's definitely a possibility for mine, too. There's a Big Lots to this day right next to where the K-Mart used to be, about a block away from where my Dad worked. I'm sure he would have been the one to bring it home.

And THIS is Mr. Heavyfoot:

I have the Netflix Soundwave, but he's yellowed fairly badly already due to that weird plastic issue they were having at the time. If this one comes with Buzzsaw and/or another interesting cassette that I don't have, I may be tempted to replace him.

You monster!

Puffer was close enough for me. Honestly I prefer that the two toys in the pack used the two different available toolings. I also love that all 4 uses of that basic mold have different headsculpts. It really sells them as unique characters.

You may be right. Looking up the bootleg, I found this review which mentions that it was sold at K-Marts. K-Mart was pretty much the only "department store" in my little town at the time, so it seems like a likely source.

Puffer should have been the Huffer mold in more-or-less Pipes' colors, but instead used the Pipes mold, so there's isn't much Huffer in the Puffer. In the end, very few houses were blown in.

Hmm...no, not that one. It wasn't quite that fancy.

Oh, I'm way older than that. This would have been right around the 1984-1985 time period. The one I had was absolutely a knock-off, too, so the original version was probably a few years before that. It predates my first "real" Transforming robots, which were Zeemon and Hound, both of which I...

Aha! Thank you. That's definitely the toy from the ebay lot, but not the one I'm remembering. The Xabungle one turns into a futuristic truck-thing, whereas mine was some sort of spaceship. Had a roughly similar look to it, though. The memories are old and super fuzzy now.

Saw this guy in a lot of Gobots figures on ebay. Anyone know what it is? I think I had one as a kid, but I can't find any information about it.

I'll be trying to buy the set for Hound and Sunstreaker, and I have a place in my heart (and shelf) for Jazz, but I'll probably be selling off the Trailbreaker and Wheeljack as I've got the Earthrise version of both already.

The studio higher-ups almost always seem to take the exactly wrong lesson away from a movie's success or failure. It very much feels like a Steve Martin in The Jerk "he hates these cans!!" sort of reaction. 9 times out of 10, a movie is a success or failure because it's well written or at...

It's what got me. It was just such an amazing looking design coupled with being a return to "my" Transformers characters (I grew up in the heyday of G1. I was aware that the brand had kept going after I stopped watching, but hadn't really paid to much attention to it.) Plus, the design, the...

The free shipping alone makes it worthwhile for me, but results may vary depending on how many things you order.
