The hot rod dude is Rodimus Prime.  He is missing just about everything, but still would get you 10 bucks.

unfortunate for mcgruder this came so late

Toys.

A few more:

I do have all their weapons and such but they are all mixed together and I was too lazy to sort them out.

And some MicroMachines:

OK, I think I may REALLY be on to something this time! What you see here is a mint condition giant headed hide-a-body mini MEGATRON! the body folds inside the giant head and when you push the button he diabolically robot laughs.

Body out!


Body in!

Nay.  I've looked up several of my old micro machines and they aren't worth too much.  They are really awesome though.

Toys came first in the US.  The first Transformers toy was an Optimus Prime promotional piece through Pepsi two years before the show or comics came.  Marvel started the comics with a 4 issue limited series...but a year later debuted the next set of comics (shockwave was on the cover and it was pretty amazing).  Transformers were first in Japan and were called diaclones.  The US just ripped it off.  Japan also has their own story line which is effing nuts.

A few more:

I do have all their weapons and such but they are all mixed together and I was too lazy to sort them out.

And some MicroMachines:


You have some really nice Transformers there.  The most expensive is the tall dude in the back named Abominus.  If you have all the parts...easily 150 to 200 dollars. Looking at his condition...probably 200.  Really nice toy.

The next piece I like is the dinosaur...Grimlock.  Complete bad ass.  He had a sweet gun and a wicked sword.  He looks to be in really really good shape.  If you have all the parts easily 100 dollars.  Total pimp.

I really like the blue cassette player you have...Soundwave.  He is pretty much my favorite Transformer of all time.  He is in really good shape as well.  Most of them can't even stand up on their own...but yours looks really good.  The gold cassette on the far left (the gold pterodactyl) goes with him (his name is buzzsaw).  He is also around 90 to 100 dollars complete with all parts. 

I won't go through all the cassettes, but each is worth around 10 to 15 dollars each.  The two nice ones are rumble (the purple cassette in front of the red pterodactyl) and lazerbeak (the red pterodactyl).  If you have the parts 25 dollars each.

The blue jet is Thundercracker.  He is just like Starscream only blue.  He has the wrong fists, but looks to be in good shape.  The purple fist goes to Skywarp (a black and purple jet) and the black fist goes to Ramjet (a white and red jet).  A complete Thundercracker is about 75 to 100 dollars.

Hound is the green jeep.  This toy was really fragile so not many of them remain today.  A complete hound is about 90 bucks. 

Nice score!

I have no idea about the Micro Machines.  maybe 40 to 50 for all of them?  The box will probably get you another 10 bucks.

This lovely specimen is a Burger King toy.  Donate it to Goodwill.  Maybe in 10 years it will be 5 bucks.

Probably not much, cause I use to rip their heads off.

No clue, but there is an actual hospital in Georgia where they "treat" them.  I am not kidding.  An effing hospital where they treat them like people and I have seen interviews with the nurses that get super pissed when the interviewer calls them dolls.  People from all over the world send their "kids" there for repair.  If there is an actual hospital still in operation today and people still send dolls there, you know the dolls have to be worth huge bank.

Some mental health professional that comes up with the next anti-crazy drug should buy their patient/customer list.

Man, I could have really kept this hospital in business back in the day. "Give me your doll! :rip:"

Thanks any way. I checked on eBay right after I posted and you're right. Even a mint condition can/city thing is worth like 10 bucks. : sad face :

Nope.  You can't tame this stallion.  I got a new job earlier this year as a biostatistician and it has been a time suck.  Things are just now starting to slow down.  What did I miss Wacky (other than a really rough year in football).  At least my Royals kicked some ass.
