Hooded cobra commander you sent in with points. Omega supreme I still have, Ramjet, thrust, etc. I had 2 dinobots that came out before they were a transformer. I was a wierd kid, saved all my toys. Sadly my parents threw out a bunch when I was in college.
seeing that diaclone battle convoy at the end, being priced at $41, broke my heart :( really great list, i loved that you included personal stories for every single figure! those are precious moments that are rarer than the toys you have ^^
Hey there. I’m a fellow Canadian and vintage transformers enthusiast. Those are some fantastic and rare G1 and pre-transformers figures. I enjoyed hearing your memories about each one. I need to start reviewing some of my less common figures from back in the day.
I really enjoyed your video and hearing your stories. My husband and I are both Canadian TF collectors. One of my stories is how we got our G1 Fort Max back in 2000. I saw an ad in a Buy & Sell newspaper that just read transformer collection for sale. After talking to the young man over the phone, he agreed to give me first chance to buy but I lived 60kms away. He agreed to hold off selling but I had to be at his place by 9 AM the next day. The next day, on time, I was there and wondered if he was going to say he got a better offer and sold to another. Thankfully he kept his word but did say he had a couple of people ask him to jump ahead of me. As I looked through his collection he explained how his relations in Japan would often give him TFs for his birthday and at Christmas. I was very excited to see some of these TF diaclones in this lot he was selling to me. Then he explained that he did have one more TF but that was going to be a separate price because it was BIG. Like two feet big. I held my breath as he showed me Fort Max complete with box. Again this was a Christmas present but he said he didn't play with it too much so it was pretty tight. It was missing only 1 small piece but still. I didn't care. I left with his collection including the boxed Fort Max. I had to keep pinching myself as I couldn't believe I had actually found one. I even drove to my husband's work with it and we, happily, just stared in disbelief that we now had one in our collection. Then the irony of ironies is weeks later, I came across a second one, also in box which I also bought and we used that one to complete ours and then used it to trade with a friend who was also a TF collector. It was wonderful because the TFs we got are still in our collection and we treasure them a lot.
That's a very impressive top 10..... on my list would prob be my carded elite actionmaster turbomaster and the japanese operation combiner battle Gaia gift set
@@thecollector75 i see you have a fantastic Transformers channel! Stay in touch - btw I did a sequel list to the above video - th-cam.com/video/t8xZoMg7YRE/w-d-xo.html
Nice video! Your Reflector story is similar to my Omnibots story. Hasbro also sold these through Robots Points mailaways. I didn't have enough Transformers toys so didn't have enough Robot Points, but we did buy Kelloggs cereals, and they had the same promotion! So I got Camshaft! Then a year later, Kelloggs brought back the Omnibot mailaway, and I already had 1 cereal robot point left over form the previous year that I was able to use. So Then I got Overdrive. The packaging was just a generic, blank, brown, hard-paper, small envelope. Not even a bag inside, no packing material at all, but the toy was intact, with the instructions, weapons (on plastic cutout tree), and stickers. Great toys, and I can't believe that with cereal Robot points (Autobot Symbols), I otherwise got them for free!
The Dinosaur Robo Pteranodon and the Blue/Silver or Black Hood Fairlady Z figures are some of the rarest in my collection. It took some time before I was able to collect those.
I still have my Fort Max from when it came out. I was 16 at the time. However with a younger brother and a mother who didn’t understand the need to keep boxes, I don’t have it. I also have a brown knockoff Grimlock with back ridges, gold arms and feet and a nose horn. Lost the accessories years ago. Only other dinobots I have are Swoop and Snarl. They need repairs lol. Great collection!
Nice, I really love the blue Sedan! I love the mail line of the classic stuff, but I'm a strange person and would love to find some of the really odd (and, some of it really dumb,) stuff, like Sandbot, Powercycle, Radio AM Robot, the green Estrela Bat-Robô Pick-Up, Dorvak Bonaparte Tulcas, Diaclone Gats Blocker, and any of the Trasformer stuff made by GiG.
I have g1 thundercracker. It was my very first transformer. The cockpit windshield broke off when I was young and the hands were lost, but it was still one of my favorite.
Woah! 😳🤯 I started collecting Transformers about 10 years ago. Some of my latest rare buys were the sideswipe pre rub Takara version - I got a diaclone red sunstreaker- and the one I had been wanting for years g1 overlord!! Loved the video and your list is stellar!! Deathsaurus is another I've wanted forever. Love those mail away stories. I also have the g1 starsabre and need liokiaser to complete. Some of my favorites are- powermaster prime- and the genrai version. As well as purple Takara g1 galvatron. It's nice to see videos of top shelf collecting!!
Just found your channel on a nostalgia trip, planning to get all my old g1 tf's in my mother's attic and put them on shelves. They'll all be rather err... battle scarred.. I played mine to death as a kid (no regrets tbh). Just cleaned and tightened screws on Slag (G1). He's pretty worn out and his tail mechanism is all floppy now but that has it's own charm/memories I think lol.
This was an awesome video, thanks for sharing! I have had some of these in my collection over the years. Downside I passed over many early on & over the years had to sell off when my family need money, including Blue Bacchus & Black Shadow. Still have that awesome Victory Saber, along with Overlord, Raiden & a few others.
Nice Slag. I’ve been collecting G1 and BW and now third party and some of the mainline stuff here and there, since ‘96 and I did not know that the Canadian market got that more cartoon accurate Slag.
My rarities in my collection are the trainbots that form Raiden, my IGA skywarp with the purple nose cone and reflector. I also have a complete fort max as well. I also have the ko of the Japanese Dino cassettes and the headmasters with no bodies.
I think my rarest g1 transformer toy is my red Tracks, i bought it in a toys store back in the 1980ies here in sweden, it has worn stickers and some slight yellowing on the white but his tires have hold up and it is complete else.
Nice pieces! Like a lot of kids, I lost or broke all my Transformers growing up. Over the years I acquired some of my favorites including a MIB Jetfire, who is definitely my favorite Transformer since he was just a repainted Macross VF-1S Valkyrie and I was big Robotech fan since I first watched the show in 1985. He and a loose Red Alert are the only original TFs I have but I have picked up several of the encore edition Autobot cars, Fortress Maximus, and Megatron.
In '84 I was 12 years old and now almost 50 years old and a stroke and cardiac arrest survivor of still like collecting the original g1 transformers series
Sorry to hear what you've had to go thru as I have had some health problems of my own. I am glad you commented and certainly share your passion for G1.
If I had only known how valuable some of these toys were. Back in the 1980s I had one of the rarer figures. Target master Scourge. But he took tons of abuse and was destroyed by the Autobots. Stupid me
Having any deathsaurus in any form is a good grab these days. I got mine a long while ago as a lucky buy when someone else decided to purge it in 2010.
Those are some amazing pieces! I ionly have a few "rare" figures. BumbleJumper (yellow), Esrella Red gears, E-hobby Ghost Starscream, E-hobby Fire Guts Ginrai, and Nucleon Quest Super Convoy.
Great review and impressive collection.... Most impressive... Indeed the G1 Deathsarus is indeed a rare and a great figure. I'm waiting for the Haslab version to arrive at my doorstep. Did u back it?
I didn't end up backing it. Oh man, you found an early video of mine from the days of when I was just learning how to edit, lol. I hope you like the Haslab Deathsaurus when it arrives
@@ToyKennections well you did a good job on that video. I hope you are able to get the Haslab version on secondary market if you do see for a reasonable price. Cheers 🥂
I have the following as well; Fortress Maximus. both Overlord. (Euro and Asia version). Victory Saber. Hopefully I can get Deathsaurus soon. I’m always in the look out for rare transformers whenever I travel around. Keep up the great work.
I got a mint G1 Grandus with stickers unapplied in box for 2500 on ebay. Haven't seen another since. Also Galaxy Shuttle in box. Also blue Bluestreak diaclone in box. Also red Honda city turbo in box. Also Kaltor gold mint in box. Also mint Horribull sealed in box.
Grandus really spiked in price the last few years. I missed out on a complete Galaxy Shuttle at Botcon in 2010. I hesitated to buy it, went back the same day and it was sold.
#8 has been sold in bulks in India I don’t how it’s rare but I’m glad I had something as child that’s rare ,but hey I think u can still find that model being sold in Indian toy shops idk who makes them here
@@arlenburgin2392 bro when I was a kid he use to tell me don’t touch them.. me thinking they are just toys really really he was sitting on gold😂 all he has till this day is the gen 1 prime which is still in the box☠️☠️☠️
What is the story with Pre-Transformers and Transformers before the Generation 1 toy line? Wow. How many Transformers were just copies of other toys?! ...and what's, "Diaclone"?
@@ToyKennections They appear to be the same things. How did Hasbro steal them? Or did they buy the rights? What are the origin stories for the Pre-Transformers and timeline?!
@@alexkx8599 Hasbro licensed them from Takara, and they have been partners ever since. The story is pretty sparse for Diaclone, but the robots were non-sentient and had drivers/pilots. For Microman, the robots were part of the Microchange subset and helped the Micromen in battles. See the origin of Microman Blaster here: th-cam.com/video/fuxQTnCP_o8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=LpxOwCfzcPH-GYZ6
I thought it was really cool how in the cartoon reflector was one mind controlling three bodies. I absoletley hate it when in comics they make the three bodies three sepreate characters, it takes away what made Reflector intresting. Some people are just so obsessed with making this franchise so freaking boring!
@@ToyKennections isn't the diaclone grimlock twin gun supposed to be also chrome like the missiles and sword? My diaclone grimlock came with a chromed gun
Yeah, all the G1 Transformers are AWESOME. Love the collection, any Transformer fan is my kind of person. Keep up the collecting! I know there are third party companies that make "cartoon" accurate figures, which is ALWAYS #1(just the $$$$$ are quite insane). Kinda wish they're around when I was a kid. But nonetheless, I am and STILL will always be a Transformer fan.
I'm Just a poor Broke man and my collection is only a 5 transformers i have THE STUDIO SERIES 86#12 CORONATION STARSCREAM AND THE 2PACK EARTHRISE SEEKERS SKY WARP AND THUNDERCRACKER AND THE LEGACY GALVATRON THAT'S ALL I HAVE. BUT HEY BETTER THAN NOTHING!!
I still have the Panamera Tornado (the purple Powermaster jet) ! It's the only transformer i kept. It's so cool. And I disagree. The red and yellow on the Japanese models looks awful. Much prefer the european release that features more teal, purple and grey.
