I was going through some stuff at my Mom's house over the weekend and came across these silly little fellows. I remembered them from when I was a kid, so scooped 'em up. Upon further inspection, I don't think they were mine. The three on the left I definitely remember, and the dates on the bottom are 1987 and 88. The other three are dated 1990. That's right in the middle of puberty for me and a happy meal would have never been enough food.
Mom is a retired school teacher, so these could have been confiscated goods from unruly students, or came from a kids consignment sale my Mom frequents for my kids. So that means, somewhere in Mom's attic there are more of these tasty little snackers.

I have a transforming french fry person with a weird blue face and a transforming, hideous looking, ice-cream cone. Man, you just sent me on a major flashback to when Happy Meal toys were rockin cool.

Anybody else remember Attack Pack?
Or the Beast Wars happy meal toys?

See, that's the fry-guy I remember, which is why I know there are more in the attic somewhere.
I have a few Beast Wars guys, but what's Attack Pack?
Remember when the actual Happy Meal boxes were UFOs and space ships? Those were cool.

Exactly those two in the vid!

Oh man, the Beast Wars happy meal toys were actually pretty cool, especially Beetle. And the Beast Machines ones, some of those were pretty impressive too.

But Animated was the last time they actually did happy meals with Transformers that actually transformed, and that's almost seven years ago.

I feel old now. I feel old as hell.

Not a toy but I picked this one for a song at ebay.

It's called Pia/Peer? Lot's of art from various gen and the last AOE. One MP product was focused on Star Saber without colors but what made this Mook and awesome find? It has a back to back big@ssed poster showcasing nearly all the TFs released in Japan fro 1985 to TF Generations and TF Go!

Also some Japanese G1 battle scenes never seen before.

I have an awesome and incredibly sad haul....

Dveice Label Jaguar, and MP08 Coin.
Ravage is awesome cause he's legit, sealed , and didn't break the bank. And that Grim coin is soooo friggin rare I'm just glad its finally in my hands.

So why is his sad? I opened up Ravage, transformed him, and his jaw popped right off. And when i found the jaw, I saw that it was snapped and hanging by a thread. After gluing it and trying to put it back in place, it snapped in two. I've been wanting one of these forever, so it really put a damper on my night

If you or anyone else is curious, I just posted a small gallery of this KO Abominus in a thread in the Non TF forum.

Love the coin! Shame about Ravage, would that part from a KO be any use? I've got two of the things for some reason.

Would you say the quality on your Ravage is jaw-droppingly bad?

I believe it was an American artist who was responsible fo this.

I went a bit crazy in the last week, and ended up with a massive haul. These were acquired over the last 5 days:

Generations leader class Jetfire
RoTF leader class Jetfire
Classics Jetfire
Titanium War Within Grimlock
Rage Over Cybertron Megatron
Year of the Horse Masterpiece Optimus Prime
Year of the Dragon Ultimate Optimus Prime
Year of the Goat Tanker Optimus Prime
Generations voyager class Silverbolt
Generations deluxe Skydive
Generations deluxe Firefly

I contemplated picking up 2 of Skydive and Firefly so I can complete Superion without waiting for Air Raid and Slingshot.

I finally found a non-faulty Firefly, and now Superion is almost very quite there.

Thanks for the offer

but after it broke last night I immediately rushed to ebay and bought a KO. I'll let y'all know how it goes.

Dropped about a combined $50 online on Reveal the Shield Perceptor (finally) and Generations Dirge (double finally) this afternoon. For that price, I'd say it's a mildly reasonable $50 well-spent, since I've been after the scientist and the Conehead (who will be my second Classics Seeker after Acid Storm) for a pretty long while.
