14:32 Oh. My. LORD. THAT'S what that is?? That was my very first transformer as a kid, in those exact colours! I would take that thing everywhere, despite my family's protests (it being a giant hug and what not), and I almost forgot all about it until now. 2 decade old memories flooding my head right now, and I'm kinda sobby now. Thanks for the throwback, Thew. You never disappoint.
Can I just say your genuine child-like reaction to seeing that rock lord is the reason I watch. I feel like you genuinely represent what it means to be a collector to find such amazing moments or joy in such simple things and to love the things you collect simply because. You’re fucking amazing dude stay awesome and never change cause you’re a beautiful example of why people collect.
what you said about the g1 reissues rings so true to me; i just got into collecting early last year, and trying to get decent g1 figures is a bit of a hit-or-miss when you dont live near a good retro shop. being able to pick up a hot rod or a starscream in that lush 80s packaging just down at the local store is honestly the most incredible thing to me because it means i can experience what older collectors must've felt when they were 6 running along the toy aisles looking at such amazing things. nobody says you gotta buy them, but it's a perfect thing for a fledgling collector like me.
Definitely my favorite videos. Unboxing is not only a great theme. But watching the items itself wasn't exciting enough. Watching your joy is heart warming 💜💜💜💜
I've got a box of Transformers on the way. $100 for the lot, and it includes an RID Megatron among other things. Even better, the seller sent it late, so added in four free figures as an apology. No idea what they are, but I can't wait to find out. Is this what everyday feel life for you Thew?
16:20 Styracosaurus is still a valid species (well, genus). Some specimens have been reclassified into a similar-looking dinosaur called Rubeosaurus, but Styracosaurus is still pretty much unchanged. Ceratopsids are sort of always being reclassified but the really big controversial one is the belief that Torosaurus is actually a fully mature Triceratops and Triceratops as we know it is an immature animal. However, most experts disagree and think Torosaurus and Triceratops are two separate genre.
journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0032623 I think this article covered it as a whole on the situation between torosaurus and triceratops
In Europe/England for the first time right now. Went to Poundland. Bought a knock off Transformer. Can't believe how much you pay for legit ones. Thanks for the inspiration! Happy 2019.
Ayyy, RiD Grimlock! He was one of my first figures, nice to see him getting around. For claiming to not know how he works, you got him to bot mode almost perfectly. There should be two ports on his back on either side of the combiner peg that you can put the digger arm on, it should raise up over him almost like a scorpion tail.
The fact that Soundwave's toy came with Buzzsaw instead of Laserbeak never made sense to me, since Buzzsaw was only in the cartoon for a few seconds in like 3 episodes. At least Masterpiece Soundwave came with Laserbeak...
@@soundblaster1987reviewsBuzzsaw was never used in the show as they didn't have to push the toy, as it came with Soundwave. If kids had a Soundwave, they would have a Buzzsaw. Lazerbeak, Rumble, Ravage and Frenzy were separate, so their toys needed pushing.
The Smart-Casual Gamer. Buzzsaw was in the show, but only for a few seconds in some Laserbeak scenes. You're right about him not needing to push toy sales, being a pack-in with Soundwave, but he still pops up occasionally.
That Scarab-looking Beast Boy is a real McDonald's toy and I got him at a Thrift Store when I was young. He's legit. I also had a terrible Scorponok that only moved the arms out to the side a bit and the legs folded in to the body or stood up. Absolute crap but I was happy.
Heeeyyyyy I just bought that reissue Hot Rod, I never had the original as a kid just Rodimus but I always wanted regular Hot Rod because I love his design. It feels so cool to buy it all this time later. I had a ton of Rocklords when I was a kid too but not that one. I had the main bad guy, a two headed dude, a rock dino animal guy, the leader of the good guys, two nuggets in both gold and silver and some others.
Ohh, got that little minifig, it's very neat and so... surreal to get your hands on. Similarly, they have all kinds of Kamen Riders with correct helmets. As well as Godzilla and Xenomorphs.
This omega might be my ultimate purchase. Wanted him for years but never could find at a good price and yet you got it for free that's not faiiiir! :')
0:00 - Had Hard Drives crash on me before; so I can tell you re-getting every thing is not fun. 6:30 - And that's why I have loved nearly every version of Optimus Prime that came out afterwards, because his trailer was either a Super Mode, or part of his transformation. 11:05 - They are selling those in the Post Office here in Australia. 12:00 - I got Wayne's World myself. 16:40 - I'm the same with Pluto.
Be EXTREMELY careful with Shadow Raider! My best friend gave me one for Christmas and a piece of the clear vehicle kibble snapped off. Had to get a new one but didn't tell him yet.
I MIGHT be able to help with the rest of the RID Build Boys. I remember my local spot had at least one of the Takara ones, if not the Takara gift set. I'll check it out next time I'm down there.
I RESENT THE TRAILER TOO! Thank god someone said it. I'd love it if they actually DID something with it like combining with prime or becoming a weapons base that actually transforms like in dotm. The grey box that just opens always bored me even as a kid. Which is why Powermaster OP was my first OP :D
The legends class power of the primes and like titans return figures were surprisingly decent representations of them minibots and still are like their definitive retail releases by Hasbro.
I found a trailer after I found a broken optimus. So thanks for letting me know about the re-issue. Problem now is that Big Bad Toy store is the only way to buy it. And It will probably triple the price. Edit. But wait what if I fix the proken optimus with the new one? All it needs is a new arm and maybe some new paint
I forget that a lot of the world has their own crappy dollar store candies and that they've likely never seen Mike n Ikes. It's probably better that way.

7:30 god i love when Thew just goes extremely giddy like that. It’s like he’s a kid again opening Christmas presents.

The more nostalgia Thew gains, the more air he loses in his laugh. XD
I like seeing you just jump around excitedly like a child. It's very wholesome.
I love that sign
*"ROBOTS! AM I RIGHT"*
Also,i have the devastator of that G1 reissue. MOVE TO THE STATES!
3 minutes in and the tiny Santa Grimlock is the best thing I've seen all day
This comment is the best thing I've seen all day. ❤️

I wore those skywarp hats at a friends Birthday party in 1985! Lol
Can’t believe people can be that kind and generous to others, it’s great.
How on Earth did those party hats survive the ages??
The KSI Sentry is a repaint of Stinger. Not the other way around. I have stinger and I want the Sentry just for the back blades.
They look so good together. Honestly can't imagine owning one without the other, I know it's not canon but they look like buddies.
Styracosaurus is still a valid species so don't fret thew

Shadow raider appears to be a drone on lockdown ship, but I like them as his own separate character
Lol 😄.. I do so enjoy your enthusiasm with every unboxing 😊
I genuinely lost it over the Jabba bit, thank you
The amount of awesome plastic toys you get never ceases to amaze me.

isn't that a Digimon?

lol, that joke at 21:35 made me chuckle way too much. Thank you for the smile good sir!
Seriously you are the best reviewer, you’re so excited about things that most people overlook which is great
The fact that Thew sang Country Roads and I live in West Virginia just made me so damn happy.
Oof that vr troopers name drop
Seeing Thew losing his mind over that rock lord was so heartwarming ❤
Hey Thew, just discovered your chanel! Gotta say I think you're my new favorite reviewer- love your heavy metal positivity! 😎
Omg I've been waiting for this video ALLL day!😂
8:15 - "Being Thew Adams" - one of the lesser known Spike Jonze movies ....
In Europe/England for the first time right now. Went to Poundland. Bought a knock off Transformer. Can't believe how much you pay for legit ones. Thanks for the inspiration! Happy 2019.
wow ! super generosity right there . Thats an epic fan base
Now I feel like Baby Metal should have been called Sugar Death.
Speaking as a robotic albino penguin i heartily endorse this channel of amusement
Bro, I just gotta say: I loved 9:28
You have an awesome singing voice!
I’m absolutely looking forward to the G1 Soundwave reissue. He was my first Transformers. Love the G1 reissues.
I saw those Converts at Five Below over the holidays this year, and all I could think of was Beatdown III: "Naff, lifeless plastic".
Ayyy, RiD Grimlock! He was one of my first figures, nice to see him getting around. For claiming to not know how he works, you got him to bot mode almost perfectly. There should be two ports on his back on either side of the combiner peg that you can put the digger arm on, it should raise up over him almost like a scorpion tail.
The G1 Reissue I want the most is Soundwave. Revealed yesterday on Seibertron.com
Agreed

i opened up an original gobot for christmas and damn was it satisfying. it was spoons. i never regret opening old packaging
Oh wow! What a wonderful episode this was,Mr. Thew! Lol!!! Rock on,my man!

Glad you're happy dude ;) I found the instructions if you want them. Also, don't forget the other head and lights are in there somewhere.

Hey, Action Master Snarl! I have that one! I also had the McDonalds Beast Wars Beetle, that toy is a lot bigger than I remembered!
I have a G1 Rippersnapper who’s left monster leg was chewed up (presumably by a pet of the person who owned it before me) but I love him dearly.
What a haul! Been looking for PX omega for ages!!!
I had those exact party hats as a kid. I lost my shit when you opened those.
9:24 "I don't know. I don't know how anything works." Big mood, Thew. Big mood.
Soundwave with buzzsaw reissue coming along with astrotrain I believe
I'm very down to get Optimus sans trailer.
I should have waited for the new 3rd party masterpieces too.
The repaint of ksi sentry.... MEGA OOF for Stinger 😂

I've been waiting for this. I love these.
Picked up tailgate and a bumble bee from those g1 reissues, they were on clearance for $8.
I got the Omega Guardian version of Planet X Genesis for my birthday. Instantly became my #1 figure that I got from last year.
Also the hand goes on the right
Glad you liked everything Thew! 💕
When I was a wee boi I had a neon green knockoff leo prime it's currently in pieces in a box somewhere
Shadow Raider is super fun! He's an evil Halloween-looking bad guy.
Great now I want a pumpkin version of shadow raider

I love that joke with that converts hahahaha
Oh you lucky sonofPrimus. I wish, I could live life like you; getting boxes of TF toys like Titans Return for example.
This video made what has been a shit day for me not so bad. I dunno why watching you get stuff is so enjoyable to me.
I got a reissue Devastator. Sadly his head is broken, but is stays in place with friction
O it is definitely performative receiving!!! ::laughs:: such a wonderful wordplay.
Your videos have gotten me on the skywarp train. i have an ebay lot of them coming in

Wonderful as usual thew. Great to see the opening!

I have my g2 Prime and RiD Scourge's trailers stored. I feel kinda bad about it though.
