I've got a bunch of 80's Transformers. I keep meaning to sell them off, but just never seem to get around to it.

so much nerf
i think i'm one of the few people who never had any real interest in action figures as a kid, or many other toys for that matter. i mostly stuck with video games, and the only thing that really interested me much was LEGO and K'NEX, which i grew out of fairly completely no later than 12 or 13
This was me too. I never understood the appeal of action figures and stuck with video games and K'NEX.

I would be curious to see everyone's age and whether or not action figures appeal to them. For me, action figures were a big part of my childhood and generation. Star Wars, G.I. Joe, Transformers, He-Man, etc were huge. Didn't seem that way in the later 80s and early 90s. That generation seemed more build-based with Legos and such.

Im 34, so I grew up heavily influenced by the 80's. I love my G.I. Joe, Transformers, He-man and Star wars toys. Always have always will. In fact, I am waiting to get shipped my new MattyCollector Masters of the Universe Castle Grayskull.

26, I was a history nerd alongside my more mainstream Star Wars heavy nerdom. This led to my being into the tiny historical soldiers sold at hobby shops in order to recreate battles (I built a scale model of the Alamo with clay, so I could play with my little dudes on it) which then led to my being interested in Star Wars Micro Machines.
I also frequented garage sales, so I was awash with any 80s toys I could throw into my epic, multi-universe historical battles.

I wasn't super big into action figures, myself. I had a few
He-Man
figures, but that was about it. My childhood faves were Lego space sets and TransFormers. I got the Constructicons one by one over a three month period. Needless to say, I was stoked when i was finally able to complete Devastator. Then I saved up to get Jetfire, which was just a redecoed Veritech/Valkyrie from
Robotech / Macross.
Which was cool, 'cuz I dug the hell outta
Robotech
as well. I played with Jetfire until he literally fell apart. He had a pretty good amount of die-cast metal at a time when toys started the transition to all plastic.
I also had several GoBots, most notably the Puzzler combiner that I got on clearance for $5.00. That dude was pretty metallic, too.
Shortly after I got into
Star Blazers
, I discovered the local hobby shop was selling Japanese
Space Battleship Yamato
mini-models for $1.00 each. Each came with its own little tube of model glue, and illustrated assembly instructions. Man, were those fun to build. A close childhood friend and I would give them to one another on our birthdays and Christmas for several years.

Yeah, I'm 36. I think the early to mid-80's was action figure crazed for sure. I too had Devistator and another multi-Transformer giant that I believe was called Bruticus.

Wait, wait, WAIT. Did Zag just have a completely normal post? Just plain info, and nothing else? Not even a trusty, 'Late? I'm worried.

Bruticus is awesome. He is the Combaticon Gestalt/Combiner. I have three of the Decepticon Combiner sets. Devastator, Bruticus and Menasor.
