I am a grown ass man with taxes and shit, yet i still have an irrational desire
- Thread starter Slayven
- Start date
Bruh, I was like 8 it was in no way rational. But the plan was to make good enough friends with the kid to be invited over frequently enough to sneak it out piece by piece until I could get it in a bookbag. Nevermind ol boy having half a battleship left in his room. He surely wouldn't notice.
Lego retain their value (or even get way more expensive when a set gets retired). There's a whole market on lego speculation!
My dad got this for me for Christmas in '86. Stayed up all night assembling it so when I got up Christmas morning it was all set up and ready to go. Best Christmas ever. I wish I still had it.

Yep, really cool toys for Aliens.
Not horror but Robocop also had some amazing toys for a movie that goes out of its way to decry toyetic merchandising!
I wanted Scorponok.
Alas.
Had the G1 version but no clue what I did with it
They remade it recently but it's very very big
I take it you haven't heard the rumor about the AT-AT being the next Lego UCS set?
PREPARE YOUR WALLET!
This. Shit, I'm jealous you got space for this. If had space for this I'd have it too. Maybe a lego death star.
Be careful, once you start down this rabbit hole, it's dangerously expensive, lol. Speaking from personal experience! Rebuilding my G1 Transformers collection is costing me a bloody fortune.
Man, I'm younger than probably all of y'all in this thread, but I still wanna get hold of Armada Unicron one day.
I circled that damn thing in the catalog like every Christmas (and then did the same when the Energon version came out cuz it was the same toy just in different colors), never got either version.
Did get Energon Omega Supreme one Christmas tho, he was pretty rad. Didn't have all the gimmicks that made me want Unicron so much, but you think my child self was gonna complain that a 14 inch tall toy that turns into two vehicles AND combines with Optimus was lacking gimmicks? Dude was the fuckin BEAST of my Autobots.

I wanted this as a kid, but it was too much (and too rare)
They go for a lot these days too.
Someone recently got her hands on this toy. It's pretty damn big.
Nah fam. Way too much shit like this I'd splurge on in an instant if I had the time/room/dollas
Awesome, watching now.
(and oh shit I had some of those Land Before Time puppets! I forgot completely about those)
I had it. It's every thing you'd hope and more.
Predaking is the one that eluded me in my child hood. Had both legs, arms and wings. Just needed the body.
I wanted Scorponok.
Alas.
Why don't you just get the recent, modern Scorps? It's much better than the original and will hurt your wallet less.
Not exactly a high bar to pass, G1 Megs is positively horrendous. :D Fortunately there's no shortage of modern, G1 styled toys, with your choice of tank or gun alt modes:
Seriously, if you were a TF fan the things they do nowadays for G1 fans are downright amazing.
Do it. I wanted Fortress Maximus as a kid. When I was a teenager, I saved money and ordered it by mail from Sears. The motherfuckers sent me my money back and said it was out of stock.
As an adult, I bought one. It felt great, even though I only messed around with it for a day or so, and then stuck it in a box in the garage, where it still is.
I don't regret it at all. People might say it's a waste of money, but it was cheaper than some dinners I've been roped into, and enjoyed less. Cheaper than a lot of unnecessary "grownup" things.

Ironically I have it, yet have been considering selling it to get this beauty instead:

In my hood dude? Shit would be stripped by crackheads in 0.68 seconds after dark.
My car is my he shed. It's got a touch screen. And heated seats.

You make those old man noises when you hit those seats? You know it is a good sit down when you smack your lips
Found a lego 3-in-1 set and it's small as shit. Like a submarine thingy, Perfect!
Only when I have to drive early before I stretch in the morning. Then it sounds like I'm wrestling with a bear.

During lockdown I bought a model train set because I always wanted one as a kid but never got one. I regret absolutely nothing.
As a grown-ass man who owns enough Kamen Rider belts to hold up the pants of everyone in this thread, chase your dreams, man.
Not a white whale per se, because we did own one, but I would love to track down an original Bop-It in near mint condition.
Just for the original voice. And to better relive some memories.
I will definitely be a grown ass man with a model train set running throughout my house constantly.

This however is my white whale and has been since I first laid eyes on the ceiling train set in Casper.

Mine is just missing one fist and the sword.
bringing Back some memories. I remember getting Fortress Maximus and just being so freaking happy
I love it. This is some straight up '80s "when a plan comes together" kid shit.
Hahaha my wife almost killed me brcsuse I bought 8 Jurassic World Lego sets for my daughter on Christmas!
Jurassic Park's Dino Damage gimmick is kinda of fucked up when you think about
i grew up with all the R Rated/Horror toys but something about the JP kid centric marketing just felt... off
OP

side note, Hook the movie had a crazy amount of toys and I couldn't figure out why. So much I kept seeing the toys in drug stores and dollar stores like 5 years after the movie
I'm still sad I never owned a Gameboy Advance.
But they day I got the DS was magical.

Alas.
my cousin got it. it's huge. alas, him being from a rich family means that he just doesn't treasure it and chucks it away anyhow....
Metroplex and Omega Supreme will be the ultimate flex though.
I have that figure. It's amazing. I'm more of a Beast Wars kid but it's one of my favorite transformers. You should definitely get it
