My 1st Transformers Score
Posted: Thu Nov 10, 2011 9:54 amLet me 1st say that this is my 1st post and I'm so thankful for stumbling upon this forum a few months ago.
I just started collecting again after seeing a picture of a G1 Soundwave and instantly being transported back in time and deciding I need to own that toy again. I think my childhood transformers wound up in a garage sale in the early 90s. All of the weapons are probably still in the air ducts at my old home.
I just wanted to share my latest score with the forum readers.
When I went to my local mall yesterday my eye caught something that looked out of place.
5 Takara Tomy transformers sitting in a case from 2008 all marked $19.99.
Bumblebee C-02, Ratchet C-14, Ironhide C-11, Cyclonus D-07, and Astrotrain D-03 just waiting for a ride home. They had been opened, but it's obvious that the previous owner took great care of these because everything came inluded: weapons, instructions, comic, collectot cards all in place.
I originally just bought 2 until I realized I needed to get back quick to secure the last 3.
After checking out the second time I overheard the cashier ask "didn't we just get these in yesterday?" The cashier then told me that the seller had a Megatron from the line as well but they wouldn't take it because it didn't have an orange tip.
Thanks for reading.
