Hi guys

Most of you know me for my muscle, MIMP, Battlebeast and Boglin collecting but I recently went home to my patents and they bought down a large box of toys that I had forgotten about!!

So I opened it up and it revealed a number of my original transformer figures!! I excitedly went through them all, like a trip down memory lane.

The reason I am posting here is to see if anyone has a knowledge as to the value of any transformer figures? I know there not 'rubber" guys and there not covered here that much but wanted to know if any of you guys collect these and know the value?

So if I take pics and post them here, are there any transformer lovers on this board that could help me out?

Thanks

Deano

There are quite a few TF fans here, bud!  

(I'm not one of them, but still....)

 

Show those things!

It may take me a few days to get all the pics done but hopefully people could help me identify them etc... Had a look on some websites but there are so many different figures and releases!!

All of mine have Hasbro 1986 on I think so I'm presuming there the original releases?

Yeah man, the mid-80s TF stuff is usually the gravy train!  The ones based on the Diaclone toys are often fan favorites.  (I'm much more into their 'spiritual fathers', the Machinder Godbots - Mazinger, Raideen, Poseidon, Dragon Gaiking, etc.....not so into the smaller transformable models.)

M.A.S.K., eh?   Not much of a fan, but that Boulder Hill/gas station playset is fuuunnn stuff with 1-2inchers!   Seriously, try it with some Muscle, Beasts, Arco, Slugs, MIMP, OMFG, homebrew stuff, etc.

 

As long as you are into the 80s Hasbro stash, did ya find any Inhumanoids?

;)

The most valuable part of Transformers are the accessories. There is a big difference between complete toys and ones in good shape without accessories.

i agree with accessories being most of the value. Any TF without its accessories is basically a shell figure, sometimes more tough finding the parts, than a complete figure. In my experience! Pay $20 for a shell, or $45 complete kinda thing.... Accessories being $10 each singular sold sometimes....

Wow what a response!! I think I have a bag full of accessories!! They can only either be from transformers, m.a.s.k and maybe a few TMNT weapons and accessories as there were the only lines that were in the boxes. I don't really know which accessories are which, so I'll let you guys help me out.

Thanks

I only ask one thing:

For the love of christ if you post more than one thing in a picture, use paint and add a letter or a number. It will make it 100x easier for us to help you ID things when we can say 1=X, 2=Y. etc.

Looking forward to seeing what you have!

Hi guys

Here's the first lot of pics. I looked at the amount of weapons and accessories I have and think I'll leave that for another day!! Will take me a while to sort it out!! The other vehicles I have are a lot smaller, some feel really plasticky and cheap some are metal, but will get pictures of those up another day.

Some say HASBRO and some say BANDAI

Some super easy ones here, and this is coming from a non-fan!

(I'll let the TF fans hit that stuff....I see Fortress Maximus, Prime, etc., though.   ;))

 

L, M, and N are Rock Lords, I actually collect those!! And that GoBots monster (Vamp?) is great, too!   

 

Weird coincidence, same three!

Complete with accessories will be key to maximizing the value of these figures. If we assumed you didn't have a single piece besides what was pictured, you'd be doing alright with Prime and Magnus having their trailers in their given condition. The condition of everything looks excellent for 80s toys, so that's also a plus. Don't follow G1 values enough to give you an offhand estimate, but you're definitely in the running for doing nicely with these. Shame that it looks like your Hot Rod and Scourge aren't the Targetmaster versions, that could've been a nice bonus for you if they were.

gobots tend to go for cheep. not much of a market for those, as far as ie seen. even less for converters, spys or not.
