80's Toy Expo Walkthrough Pics

It took me more time to organize and label these pics than I think I spent at the show.....nevertheless, I thought everyone would like to see a sampling of what was available at 80's Toy Expo that just went by here in Toronto.

Not everybody here had Transformers for sale, but I think if your a fan of Transformers, then for the most part you are a fan of all the other toys (or at least have heard of them) that came out in the 80's-90's.  Enjoy the trip down memory lane.

Starscream on The Goldbergs

Love this show, not only for its nostalgia for everything 80's, but also for the Transformer cameos that happen every now and then.  Look who showed up this week…..our bud Starscream.

Shocking Toys 'R Us Visit

No vintage purchases here.  In fact, no purchases at all, though I was sorely tempted to buy a couple of these figures to play with.

Up until now, I had only come across these guys through You-Tube videos but I have to be the first to admit that

G1 Insecticons Bombshell, Shrapnel & Kickback (MOSC)

Here's a set of pictures that I've been sitting on for quite some time but just had completely forgotten about until I was going through my drafted items.

Transformers KO Diaclone Bliztwing Triple Changer "Sploo Rocket"

I know it has been a little bit since I have done an actual Transformers figure posting as opposed to one of our Transformers & Beer podcast shows.  Don't get me wrong, I have been enjoying myself immensely with the whole process of doing our show but this blog was originally started with the

intention of doing figure write-ups so it's nice as the saying goes, "getting back to what got you to the dance in the first place".  So in following with that ideology.....let's get to it.

Who Is Paying These Prices?

My friend was popping into our local Toys R Us store and decided to send me some pics of what few Transformer figures we would even consider owning from their normal mish-mash of throwaway figures.  I had to post these pics because I was unaware of how highly these figures were priced.

PLATINUM MASTERPIECE SOUNDWAVE
