Unless I'm really mistaken, that's a part to a part of the Lion Mechazord from Power Rangers Megaforce. It's a fold-out panel to the back piece, which folds around the hips of the combined Gosei Great Grand Megazord.

Got given a lot of stuff from the charity shop to sort out and sell for them this week... and it includes more parts of that Mechazord and others in that line. Still not complete but getting there.

Also found the crossbow in there of the Beast Hunters Bumblebee I bought from there last week. So that's mine.

Does anyone know what this pink tank is?

Never seen it before.

I had one of those as a kid but in different colors. Couldn't name it for you on my best day, but I can tell you it was from a discount chain and connected with a few similarly sized modules to make a, idk, crappy moon train or something. It's only worth is in whatever fun you might eke from it.

What series are these from?



and are they any good? what would you pay for them?

Well, the artwork is from Armada, but the logo is from G1, and the use of "The Original Series" would suggest that they're G1 DVDs, but no official G1 DVD releases used Armada artwork on their covers. They might be bootlegs.

Those are DVDs of transformers Armada from around 2002 (though not a set of DVDs I recognise), a somewhat notorious series in terms of production quality but with some reasonable plots. Not exactly pushing the boundaries of entertainment but pretty fun- though seemingly being earlier episodes, they'll probably be quite human-centric and the humans are... an acquired taste.

I'd recommend it (though not if you're paying top dollar), but as the name suggests I'm a little biased

EDIT: As Sabr rightly points out, there are actually quite a few red flags that they're probably bootlegs. I'd be half tempted to get them and see what episodes they are out of curiosity if they're on the cheap, but that's just me being nosy having a healthy curiosity for life

I wouldnt pay anything for those.

The original series.






Sorry, that was too easy. They're bootlegs for sure, they aren't worth anything.

This is the only kind of "bootlegs" that matter and are actually worth it:

I'd hold off on the "bootleg" claim guys, until we see the back of the cases. If anything, it's just a re-release done via a cheap distributor.

Doesnt change the fact that these arent worth much regardless.

Nah, there's no reason even a cheap distributor would not have access to the appropriate Armada logo if they have access to correct character art. Or be using Armada character Art for G1. There's tons of G1 character art to choose from more so if its a licensed release.

10 to 1 these are bootlegs of G1 with Armada Character art for some reason.

A re-release wouldn't be done by a cheap distributer unless it's a bootleg. All of the major markets have a company with the license to produce these that know what they're doing. Even those crappy collected DVDs for G1 and the Unicron Trilogy back in the late '90s and mid '00s were done by Rhino and Paramount. Any market that would produce something this poor isn't too likely to be doing it legally.

Which part is this

That's a part for the Micromaster Skyhopper helicopter base.

Jelze is of course correct.

Ahh Skyhopper. One of my favorite Micromasters as a kid along with Ground Shaker.

whos the bike and the plane?

The bike goes with Action Master Axer, the plane is Predator Snare.

I'm pretty sure this thing is not a transformers. But I'm really curious what the hell that thing is. The seller want 30$CAN for it and I think it's WAY too much money for that UFO.





So, my TF wizards, who the fok is this guy?

He's legit! That's Sizzle, one of the G2 Laser Rods- though a little mistransformed, he seems to be kneeling down.
The laser rods had a gimmick wherein there was an LED that could light up either their engine blocks or their fists (to glow through a clear plastic sword)- whether or not that gimmick is intact will probably affect the toy's value quite a bit. Can't say I know whether he'd be worth the price though!

So IT IS!
Very interesting. Jeezz, the incompetence of people trying to transform things....
So, it's clear it does not have the sword.
I'll offer 15$CAN because of that and I'll see if he bite. Because it's around 15$CAN plus 15$CAN for shipping from the UK.

A word of warning though: in addition to the LED the Laser Rods have the same waist gimmick with the rubber band as G.I. Joe figures. I'm pretty sure you know where I'm going with this.

WHAT?

Make the thing in gold and clear plastics while we're at it!
Sigh... Even at 15$, it won't be worth the trouble.

Thanks for the warning.

Kanrabat, that thing's been on Kijiji for years, I have stayed away. The price is nonsense and I didnt think it was worth the trouble of writing in and trying to get it for a decent amount (like 5-10$) .
