They were priced from 14.99 to 29.99. Looked it up on Hasbros website and found this: http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/energon/pl/PG.1/SUBBRANDID.62/PAGE.browse/dn/default.cfm I also found "Smokescreen" ( The cool Z-240 looking Autobot) on sale at Amazon for 9.99! I only had a few of these as a kid, now I can own them all! Yea! Autobots, Move out!! (ok...I'm offically a BIG NERD!) [ Edited by: aquaorama on 2005-01-28 07:29 ]

My very first one was Bumble Bee, a gift from one of my brothers. I saw Optimus Prime on the big screen while waiting for a movie to start last week! Not sure what they were selling.

I have the re-issue of Optimus Prime (MIB) and "evil optimus" and Unicron. Infact I have an extra Unicron if someone wants to take him off my hands, just name a price. I'm jobless. I have alot of bootlegged TF's as well.

Anyway, I tried to trade some origional transformers for tiki stuff here last year or so, but had no real offers. I was looking for mugs mainly, and my collection of mugs is rather limited than my collection of transformers (which are all out of the box and have some levels of wear from playing and accessory parts are pretty much a no).

I had a younger friend who would spend hours playing with the things! Has anyone noticed a complete resurgance in toys from the 80's... at Christmas I was in Toys R Us and saw Strawberry Shortcake, Rainbow Bright, Cabbage Patch dolls, My Little Ponies... these toy designers must be running outta ideas! Don't get me wrong I love seeing all the old toys I knew as a kids being introduced to a new generation and I guess they're a lot better than this Pokemon crap coming out of Japan but damn...does anyone have any original ideas anymore?

R Rorysm Member Joined: Mar 17, 2003 Posts: 161	R Rorysm Posted posted on Thu, Mar 31, 2005 6:41 AM Well, what always made me mad was when they tried to capitolize on classic toys and new fads--environmentalism was popular for kids in the late 90's so you got transformers that turned into animals. Animals and robots don't mix. What crap. At least they finally figured out transformers were cool because they were robots and cars and vehicles, both of which little boys think are cool. And yes, the toy companies are out of ideas mainly because the cartoon industry is putting out utter crap. Only the japanese still make cartoons with some collector appeal, but they over do it (kind of funny pokemon put the whole collector think into the plot--must collect them all!). As for me, I'll stick to my memories of transformers and voltron.

Hey did anyone know that they released reproductions of the Tron toys? I believe Tomy originally made them, but I can't recall the new company. I still have my two light cycles.
