[engrgv]

Ist transformers....Optimus Prime and Jetfire straight from a Balikbayan Box in 1984. Sigh...the best of times. Didn't even know who they were coz TF aired 2 years later!

[Anakin Skywalker]

I'll only post my faves here to make it simple.

G1 Soundwave tf jr. Dec, 1987. Got it for a chrismas gift.

G1 Jazz TF jan, 1989 Got it for a one-sided deal. From another kid.
( Note: the following toys are loose 'cept for the takara jp tf i got.' so, its easy to tell that all of them are authentic. since i can see the stamped copyright properly.)

G1 Frenzy (JP) MISB Mar, 1997 Bought it at a small toystor at University mall lla' salle' taft ave. it wasa bday gift.

G1 Soundwave (jan) and G1 Roddimus prime (Aug)
(Normal size) 1997 Got it as a trade at a toy con in GH. south.

G1 optimus prime,skywarp (JP), Ramhorn, Powerglide, Hound, and Meister (jazz jp). Jan 2000 got it from my older rother as a gift. (cept for meister, got that from a trade in virra mall 3 days later.)

G1 Omega supream MIB and stunticon set motormaster MIB. (us) it was authenticated since the former owner writen the date inside the the motormaster's box flap. the toy was bought in 1986. lucky me! also, both toys was check to be authentic hehe oct 2001 Bought at JEA (before it was know by those time.)

G1 Skylynx, MIB july 2001 Gift from my older sis. ( since she knows i collect tf.)

G1 Metroplex and Bumblebee. Traded it from Ritchard the brave jan 2005.

mommy and daddy got me g1 prime when i was 5 yrs old back in christmas 1990. bought for only P800

[Checkmate!]

fave and my only G1 TF's

Sideswipe - 1987 ata. basta i remeber buying this from Nova Fontana SM North. prize ko ito kasi i've been a good boy when i had my EEG. electro encephalogram. LOL.

Contructicon na may crane - 80's din

and yung tf na pull back action.

[fenrir72]

Haven't you people noticed how much the prices appreciated since? Now, you can get a Php 500.00 for a mini Voyager sized TF in Galaxyforce. If you want a Convoy class today......you purchase it for Php 3,500.00 up. Far cry from the time I purchased my Fort Max for Php 2,000.00. Now, Fort Max cost short of some Php 25,000.00 no?

[Anakin Skywalker]

Well i think the equivelent to the 500 pesos before, is like having 5k now in sumways... also, 10 pesos can really buy you alot of food back then. Also, since te toys has stop production ( Not counting the re series) well. it just bloom and also for te fact that, day by day, su of these classics are lost to donations, disasters, playwear ect...

[mukodono]

my parents bought me g1 prime and megatron when i was 5 yrs. old

[gian7675]

I really wanted an Optimus Prime back then when Transformers G1 was being showd for the first time during my elem days. I asked my parents to buy me one but they wouldn't.

"Mahal yan anak..." they would reply...always

So I resorted to my one and only Ninong in the States. I ate some Cheeze Curls named Transformers (yata) which had pics of Optimus Prime at the front and Back depicting him in Robot and Vehicle mode and asked him to be a Christmas Present.

He called in the fllowing weeks and infomed me and my parents that he bought me 3 TF's and will be sending them to before Christmas! WOW! 3 TF's! I wonder what other 2 TF's he bought me with Prime.

When they arrived in a balkbayan box I openned it up immediately and Lo and Behold!...Wala si Optimus Prime!

There were 3 TF's though but I didn't recognise them. One's a Gun, One's a Radio Cassette Player and one's a Jet.

Who in the world are these 3? They turned out to be Shockwave, Blaster and Jetfire ;D

Ayos na rin because I like macross at that time too hehehe! But I really wished he sent me an Optimus Prime ;D

Shockwaves gone now. My brother gave him away bummer. Blaster and Jetfire are still here with me Jetfire still being my favorite TF because Tf na, Macross pa! Hehehe!

Thanks Ninong!

[fenrir72]

I remember those curls too.....mmmm cheese curls.......! Didn`t win the contest though, and the art sucked.

[Anakin Skywalker]

I think olvatine yung may promo nun. tapos, in every jar, may arnag paper cut-out dolls of the tf. that yo can color and use for the board game. and there's a ontest for sending the lable. you'll get a random tf i think.

[fenrir72]

Right and wrong anakin. There was these generic curls......by continuous enterprises if I`m not mistaken( I even won a mini b/w tv in their GIJOE bubblegum contest) thatsold the cr@ppy story card with curls, way before the ovaltine contest.

[Chainer]

well... i have but a few G1 transformers... my fave would be my Diaclone Starscream!... followed by Sunstreaker and Swoop... hey, those 3 are already 25 percent of all my G1 TF... hehehe...
