I opened all mine as a kid as well. The sealed ones are ones I’ve acquired over the years. This is actually quite old now. You might want to check the update as it’s very different now

Thanks very much. Have you seen the other 4 parts too?

Watching them now @@ToysareRuss !

great stuff. hope you like them

👍🏻

@@ToysareRussI Iove ultra rare complete collection figurine the autobots and the decepticons the transformers g1 you're welcome russ have a great weekend god bless 🤘🎸

Thank you very much. Glad you liked looking at them and thanks for subscribing too.

thanks bud, have you seen the updated video? this one is the older one

Wow, thank you! There’s more updates of this video in the complete collections playlist

you’re correct the gig trasformers were released before the transformers that we know now.

Thanks very much. I’ve done videos on the powerdasher too.

@@ToysareRuss You’re the man! I’ll check it out…

Thanks. There’s an updated version I did literally at the weekend. About 5 away from my most recent. Check that one out, it’s way better than this one.

Thanks very much. There’s updated versions of this on here. Hope you enjoy the other content too.

Great story. I had prime for Christmas 8; and my mum did a 6 hour round trip to get him. Thanks for sharing. Just so you know there’s an updated version of this video in the complete collections playlist, as this has been updated.

Thanks very much. There’s an updated video if this in here too. They only made ( to my memory ) with the newer recent masterpiece toyline. They definitely never made any for the generation one toyline

Thanks very much. What you’ve said is what I remember me saying tears again. Then without realising if I’m collecting the pretenders. The actionmasters I sold so many times before deciding that I wanted them 🤦. Hope you enjoy the other videos too.

@@ToysareRussI love ultra rare complete collection figurine the autobots and the decepticons the transformers g1. you're welcome toys are russ have a great week god bless 🤘🎸

Thanks. McDonald’s have so many titans and there’s a huge collectors market for them as well.

Thanks very much. Many years of collecting. You might like the complete collection playlist as I’m updating these slowly.

@@ToysareRuss looking forward to it!

@@ToysareRussI love ultra rare complete collection figurine the autobots and the decepticons the transformers g1. you're welcome toys are russ have a great week god bless 🤘🎸

generation one started it all. such fond memories, glad you liked the video. hope you like the other videos on here as there’s loads of G1 stuff.

I actually have to strongly disagree on that assessment. The newer Transformer Toys are better quality and better detail. Also the newer G1 toys match the G1 Cartoon Transformers far closer than the original toys that were actually redeco Diaclones.

@@dmonsef There is no doubt but the G1 toys have a charm due to the style and limitations of manufacturing at the time. There is also the limited availability due to people not realizing that toys were more than a consumable distraction for children.

…no doubt, the ATD for 80’s CAN NOT BE BEAT (in my Megaton voice)

thanks so much for taking the time to comment. I’m glad you like the videos. did you watch all 5 parts?

No, you are here for the whole G1 TOYS COLLECTION YOU IDIOT.

does ironhid ehave a head?!

and racthet too

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. There’s another 4 parts

Thanks very much

Thanks. Ok then

Thanks! Glad you liked it. There’s an updated video of this under complete collections. You might want to watch that one.

Thanks very much. Many, many years of collecting here.

Excellent. Really pleased for you. You’ll be set up for life now!

@@ToysareRuss yea, but now what to collect!?!

@@ToysareRussI love ultra rare complete collection figurine the autobots and the decepticons the transformers g1. you're welcome toys are russ have a great week god bless 🤘🎸

Thanks very much. It obviously taken years to get to this stage. Did you see the other 4 parts?

Thanks! Glad you liked it. Did you see the other parts or just part 1?

Thanks bud. Me too.

Thanks very much. Hope you enjoy the other content on here.

Thanks so much for your comments. I decided to share my collection during the first lockdown. I’ve actually updated this video. It’s in the complete collections playlist. In honesty I did have these toys as a child, but made the stupid mistake of selling them all at a school fete. I started collecting properly as an adult again in the early 2000’s. You might also like the Japanese exclusives playlist too.

@@ToysareRussI love ultra rare complete collection figurine the autobots and the decepticons the transformers g1. you're welcome toys are russ have a great week god bless 🤘🎸

thanks pal, I’ve updated this video in the complete collection playlists

Thanks very much. Not sure if you know but there’s an updated video of this on my channel. Type in complete collection in the search bar and pick the longer one.

Did I? Oh wow. How have I not noticed that. Thanks though. Hope you enjoy the other content.

Thanks very much. There’s an updated version of this on here as well.

@@ToysareRussI love ultra rare complete collection figurine the autobots and the decepticons the transformers g1. you're welcome toys are russ have a great week god bless 🤘🎸

Thank you so much!! hope you enjoy the other videos too. heck out the playlists for different categories like Japanese exclusives etc.

This is the first one bud. Try the latest one. It’s all white bookcases from last year

@@ToysareRuss thanks sure will

Thanks bud. This is an old video now. Go to the playlists and look for complete collections. There’s an update. Let me know what you think when you see it. Plus can you sub too please?

@@ToysareRuss my brother I subscribed with the quickness.

@@itsme-notyou thanks! Hope you enjoy the videos

Many many thanks it’s taken a few decades to get it where it is

@@ToysareRussI love ultra rare complete collection figurine the autobots and the decepticons the transformers g1. you're welcome toys are russ have a great week god bless 🤘🎸

Thanks so much. I’ve been collecting decades but decided to share it with the world during lockdown. I love the Japanese G1 stuff

@@ToysareRussI love ultra rare complete collection figurine the autobots and the decepticons the transformers g1. you're welcome toys are russ have a great week god bless 🤘🎸

I suppose I categorise them. Sometimes I split them up simply between decepticons and Autobot. Like with the combiners. Powermasters and headmasters. I also did Autobot cars, decepticon jets. Then put all the pretenders, micromasters together.

@@ToysareRuss That of course makes sense. I'm interested to know for example why Tracks with Mirage or Hound with Smokescreen

@@mechazilla in all honesty I can’t really answer that. But I think at what you’re getting at would make more sense. Like ratchet and ironhide on one. Sideswipe and either red alert or sunstreaker together on another. I just put them up they way they are now and have been like that for years. I’m going to have a think and change it now. Need to decide which way to do it though. I think the only thing that I consciously did was put the tripple changers together.

Thanks very much. Hope you like the other videos on here too.

@@ToysareRuss Did you like some new figures like Legacy?

@@Jazzys.Prime.Chilling.Time127 yeah I did. I collect the generations toyline as well. But my passion is G1

@@ToysareRuss what you thing about tfp characters turn to g1 style in this toy line? (like bulkhead, knobk out arcee)

Thanks! Did you see the other 4 parts or just this video?

Thanks very much. There’s an updated version of this on the complete collections playlist.

Thanks bud. I’ve updated this video. Check out the complete collections playlist. It’s the longest video in there.

They follow straight after. There are 5 parts in total. I’m glad you liked to look at them too. They’ve been hidden away for years. The tour thing keeps getting suggested by everyone. It makes me smile. Let me know if there’s a particular figure you lived and I’ll do a video on it.

@@ToysareRuss Not really. I had most of the toys up to 1987 (except the guns, and mail orders like the Omnibots) I was thinking of doing a video on the books like the Ladybird UK books I have, and the Big Looker Storybooks. I would love to see the UK comics in video. I did a video recently actually of the Target 2006 story using my comics.

Funnily enough I just dug all them books out for my little lad. With regard to the comics they’ve just re issued them all again under hachette partworks. Did you see the other 4 parts of the tour yet?

@@ToysareRuss I didn't. I'll get around to watching it some time though

thank you very much. did you see the other parts on the other videos?

@@ToysareRuss definitely. The OG Japanese Galaxy Prime is awesome.

@@tacticalsquirrel8194 I’m actually going to be updating my Japanese collection video shortly as I’ve got loads more than that now. Including big powered combined and individually. Glad you’re liking the videos.

@@ToysareRussI love ultra rare complete collection figurine the autobots and the decepticons the transformers g1. you're welcome toys are russ have a great week god bless 🤘🎸

Yeah it’s a few years, decades in honesty in the making. Have you seen the other 4 parts?

thanks. I have actually updated this video. it’s in the complete collections one. it’s the long video of just my entire G1 collection at the time

haha I know what you mean. my son is 5 and he does love them. he’s on a few of the videos on here. hope you like them too.

I’ve not heard of them initials before in honesty.

you should keep an eye on eBay as they always pop up. I’ve stopped looking since I collected them all. I have loads of fond memories waiting on a Saturday for the paper boy to bring me mine. glad it brought back some good memories for you too.

@@ToysareRuss Paperboy? Wow-I had to go to the comics store! Fortuneately, Canada sold US and UK comics

yeah most people in the uk in the 80’s had a paperboy. I was one too in the early 90’s. every Saturday rolled up in the middle of the local paper was my comic!!

@@ToysareRuss I know what a paperboy is! They just didn't deliver comics in Canada-just newspapers

Did you see I started to do the comics on my channel. I actually go so slow over the pictures you can read them for yourselves

this means a lot coming from you. ANYONE reading these comments on my channel, please check out this guys collection! his collection is unbelievable and one of the main sources of inspiration for how my collection has ended up.

@@ToysareRuss I'm honored to have inspired such an awesome collection :) You've done an amazing job with this!!!

hope you like the other videos too

Thanks! Did you see the other 4 parts as well?

@@ToysareRuss yes, I watched them all after this video. you have a new subscriber!

@@StarSaberConvoy thanks. Hope you liked them.

Thanks for watching. I hope you enjoy the other videos too. I’ve done loads on G1 figures.

There’s an updated version of this on here. Hope you like the other content too.

Thanks! Will try to check it out, and yes, love this type of content. I had a crush on G1 cartoon Rumble as a kid, but it wrecked me when I found out it was actually Frenzy LOL@@ToysareRuss

My favourite figure as a child was scorponok. I need to update that video. A grail I managed to get was big powered. Who is dai atlas, sonic bomber and road fire combined and that’s because I never thought I’d own them. I needed a 15 month payment plan to save for them. I’ve done videos on them. A grail I want and haven’t got yet is grandus.

At least as an adult you can now pick them up again

@@ToysareRusstrue. Ive gone more in for MP versions tho. Optimus, Megatron, Shockwave, Soundwave and Starscream. :)

Thanks, glad you liked it.

This is an older video now. I’ve updated it. It’s in the playlist under complete collection videos. There’s just a G1 one for 42 mins. Let me know if you like it.

@@ToysareRuss it was great! you obviously put a lot of care into your videos and collection! thank you for sharing!

Thanks so much! that’s an old video now, have you seen the updated version?

@@ToysareRuss no, but I will 😁

@@Quincalladelchuo thanks bud. It’s in the complete collections playlist

That’s how it all starts! Just want one or two figures. Then I might as well get him and him etc. Then boom. Hope you get the ones you want. Lee us informed and if you’d like a particular figure showcasing let me know.

@@ToysareRuss I didn't realize my 10yr old commented under my account. Lol , well I appreciate the reply and we're always on the Prowl ourselves

Steve Waters amazing! It’s nice to know that he’s watching them too and is enjoying them. Who’s his favourite figure. If I’ve not done it all ready I’ll do a showcase on it and dedicate it to him. If I have already I’ll just give him a shout out in one of my videos.

Yes very nearly. I am missing a few boxed ones but I can display every single hasbro figure released for generation one. Do you collect as well?

Thank you!! and thanks for commenting. did you see the other 4 parts?

@@ToysareRuss aww not yet but I will :)

Unless you have a dedicated vintage toys store where you live. The best place is always ebay as there’s always the ones you’ve listed on there.

@@ToysareRuss thanks a lot I’ll search on garage sales and EBay

He was originally called octane, but for some reason now he’s called Octone. I’m doing a video on him now!!

@@ToysareRuss 😮lol I got a sneek peek 😂😂 and he got changed to Octone cuz someone else bought the name so if transformers use that name they have to pay like 400$ per box produced. And the money goes to the company which has his name patented unlike others like main optimus and Megatron who are main so fans won't lose interest on em.

it’s always about copyright at the end of the day.

It’s too hard to answer that as markets change all the time and certain countries have different values. I’ve actually updated this video. You might like to see that one.

thanks! did you see the other 4 parts?

Thanks. Hope you like the other videos as well.

@@ToysareRuss yes ,sure i do

Thanks. I’ve done an updated video on this on here if you’d like to watch it.

@@ToysareRuss the posters that came with the first toys - and all the check marks and such - what I was looking for was a 1 to 1 comparison for that

Thanks. There’s a few decades worth of collecting there though.

I’ll check it out

no idea in honesty. certain things have different values depending on where you live

no problem, it’s nice to know it brings other people joy too.

@@ToysareRuss It truely does..... your collection is also VERY Inspiring!

thanks pal.crazy thing is I’m still buying stuff!

thanks, hope you enjoy the other videos

@@ToysareRuss ammm what are you going to do with all these when you are older and eventually leave the Earth,??

Thanks so much. There’s an updated version of this on here.

@@ToysareRuss cheers mate...p.s Grandus aye? Ill keep an eye out here in New Zealand.

Of course you can. But they are all originals. I don’t buy ko

@@ToysareRuss ah

@@holleyakers6684 I’ve been lucky enough to have got nearly all these before prices went crazy

@@ToysareRuss great job! Also nice collection!

in honesty I haven’t actually spent that much, it’s nearly paid for itself. I started off buying collections from eBay just to get the figures I wanted. then selling the rest. all of a sudden I realised that this was a fun and easy way to do it, plus from the money selling the ones I didn’t want. they paid for the ones I did!

@@ToysareRuss yeah that's the way to go. I bought most of mine about 15 years ago (damn how time flies) from ebay, buying mostly more then I needed because then you can combine on shipping, so bought e.g. 5 items, kept 2 or 3 that I wanted and sold the others. But I must say, buying whole collections or lots is probably the faster way to go. It took me very much time and still nowhere near your level of completing the collection. Although I don't particularly want them all, like the G2 I don't care for, nor the Action Masters. Still plenty left, and then there are those specific ones like Monstructor (you've got them TWICE Omg..) and Fortress Maximus. Would love to add them someday. I'm only buying very occasionally now, not in the business of selling for some time now. Just don't have the time. So it's also more costly now. I'm not in a hurry though. And I'm already out of shelf space as is. A huge bunch of newer TF are already put away in boxes. I need to get a desk out so I can put some shelves on the other wall as well ;)

To be honest I was like that too. Wasn’t interested in action masters and every time I brought a lot and there was one in it. I always sold it. Space is the biggest issue for me now too, but again like you I don’t really buy anymore. If I do it’s just an upgrade so I just swap them over. I’m starting to go more misb now too which again requires more saving! It’s still just as fun though, getting that figure / box you want.

Literally all of the hasbro transformers I’ve found on eBay! I’ve just checked and there’s a couple. You could also try transformerland.com

Toys are Russ oh dude! Thanks very much! I will look into it! I’m happy to get the re issues, it’s amazing to me how one early life experience can stay with you forever

No worries. That’s how this started for me. I just wanted a couple of the toys I had as a kid back.

Toys are Russ if you ever need a spare pair of eyes on what your looking for still...hit me up 🤙🏻

That’s really kind of you and great to know. Which part of the world are you from? I might just do that if you get an exclusive that’s not available on the uk!

Shame you live too far away. Maybe when you’re older.

@@ToysareRuss I read it the long way as "shame you are a scumbag begging" 😂😭 idk why but I just read that directly 😂

I don’t think that at all. it would be great to see your face when you saw it all in person.

I don’t know to be honest? I’ve not looked in ages. The only problem with the comics is they keep getting released in books etc. But I wanted the originals. Reminds me of being 6/7 years old and waiting for the paperboy every Saturday to bring me my new comic.

I’m sure it’s great. I only collect transformers though.

@@ToysareRuss do you know where I can sell transformers books?

@@TheMusicforeal ebay or Facebook groups. Message me on Instagram you might have something I don’t have. It’s toys_areruss

I’m not rich at all. I brought them when they were like £1 each and sometimes less when in a big collection. If you are prepared to search you will find good deals. Obviously now some figures are very expensive. But they weren’t 20 years ago

@@ToysareRuss lol 😂 jkjk but still you have a massive collection enough to feed ur self forever 😂👍

I can’t argue with that though, that’s very true

Hope you liked the video.

@@ToysareRuss I did indeed. I should correct myself, 332. Trying to be clever 🤦🏻‍♂️

No need, I sometimes forget loads of things.

@@ToysareRuss its age catching up with us

Unfortunately probably true.

Can’t be the originals for nostalgia though

Not really this all paid for itself. I got them decades ago when they were a few quid each

@@ToysareRuss i was jokin haha but quite a collection even got some i never heard of b4

@@Thug-12Na no worries bud. Hope you enjoy the other content on here too.

I’m sorry I’m old and uncool. What does this mean?

@@ToysareRuss I’m just saying they look blocky
