I had a red Bumblebee and my buddy had a yellow Cliffjumper...that's about the only unique stuff I saw as a kid.

seeing that diaclone battle convoy at the end, being priced at $41, broke my heart :( really great list, i loved that you included personal stories for every single figure! those are precious moments that are rarer than the toys you have ^^

Hey there. I’m a fellow Canadian and vintage transformers enthusiast. Those are some fantastic and rare G1 and pre-transformers figures. I enjoyed hearing your memories about each one. I need to start reviewing some of my less common figures from back in the day.

Hooded cobra commander you sent in with points. Omega supreme I still have, Ramjet, thrust, etc. I had 2 dinobots that came out before they were a transformer. I was a wierd kid, saved all my toys. Sadly my parents threw out a bunch when I was in college.

_AMAZING STUNNING COLLECTION, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING_

I still have my Fort Max from when it came out. I was 16 at the time. However with a younger brother and a mother who didn’t understand the need to keep boxes, I don’t have it. I also have a brown knockoff Grimlock with back ridges, gold arms and feet and a nose horn. Lost the accessories years ago. Only other dinobots I have are Swoop and Snarl. They need repairs lol. Great collection!

I really enjoyed your video and hearing your stories. My husband and I are both Canadian TF collectors. One of my stories is how we got our G1 Fort Max back in 2000. I saw an ad in a Buy & Sell newspaper that just read transformer collection for sale. After talking to the young man over the phone, he agreed to give me first chance to buy but I lived 60kms away. He agreed to hold off selling but I had to be at his place by 9 AM the next day. The next day, on time, I was there and wondered if he was going to say he got a better offer and sold to another. Thankfully he kept his word but did say he had a couple of people ask him to jump ahead of me. As I looked through his collection he explained how his relations in Japan would often give him TFs for his birthday and at Christmas. I was very excited to see some of these TF diaclones in this lot he was selling to me. Then he explained that he did have one more TF but that was going to be a separate price because it was BIG. Like two feet big. I held my breath as he showed me Fort Max complete with box. Again this was a Christmas present but he said he didn't play with it too much so it was pretty tight. It was missing only 1 small piece but still. I didn't care. I left with his collection including the boxed Fort Max. I had to keep pinching myself as I couldn't believe I had actually found one. I even drove to my husband's work with it and we, happily, just stared in disbelief that we now had one in our collection. Then the irony of ironies is weeks later, I came across a second one, also in box which I also bought and we used that one to complete ours and then used it to trade with a friend who was also a TF collector. It was wonderful because the TFs we got are still in our collection and we treasure them a lot.

Great variety of rarities! And I'm glad you shared your personal connections with each of them, that's what makes a collection great.

Nice, I really love the blue Sedan! I love the mail line of the classic stuff, but I'm a strange person and would love to find some of the really odd (and, some of it really dumb,) stuff, like Sandbot, Powercycle, Radio AM Robot, the green Estrela Bat-Robô Pick-Up, Dorvak Bonaparte Tulcas, Diaclone Gats Blocker, and any of the Trasformer stuff made by GiG.

I'm so jealous of that collection. Great stuff 👍👍

omg these toys are so freaking awesome . Being a kid was awesome in the 80s

Nice video! Your Reflector story is similar to my Omnibots story. Hasbro also sold these through Robots Points mailaways. I didn't have enough Transformers toys so didn't have enough Robot Points, but we did buy Kelloggs cereals, and they had the same promotion! So I got Camshaft! Then a year later, Kelloggs brought back the Omnibot mailaway, and I already had 1 cereal robot point left over form the previous year that I was able to use. So Then I got Overdrive. The packaging was just a generic, blank, brown, hard-paper, small envelope. Not even a bag inside, no packing material at all, but the toy was intact, with the instructions, weapons (on plastic cutout tree), and stickers. Great toys, and I can't believe that with cereal Robot points (Autobot Symbols), I otherwise got them for free!

The Dinosaur Robo Pteranodon and the Blue/Silver or Black Hood Fairlady Z figures are some of the rarest in my collection. It took some time before I was able to collect those.

Best video yet Ken. Love your content, please keep making them !

Mc 12 black megs and mc 11 magnum 44 are 🔥

Love your energy Ken. Thanks for sharing.

Great video. Some real treasures on this list 🙌

My uncle spent most of my life collecting transformers and I saw a lot of rare and unusual transformers.

This was an awesome video, thanks for sharing! I have had some of these in my collection over the years. Downside I passed over many early on & over the years had to sell off when my family need money, including Blue Bacchus & Black Shadow. Still have that awesome Victory Saber, along with Overlord, Raiden & a few others.

Great Video Ken! love your collection.

Great list. I'm a proud owner of Deathsaurus, Star Saber and Victory Leo too

Loved this one, great figures!

In '84 I was 12 years old and now almost 50 years old and a stroke and cardiac arrest survivor of still like collecting the original g1 transformers series

Nice video. Very informative and genuine.

Woah! 😳🤯 I started collecting Transformers about 10 years ago. Some of my latest rare buys were the sideswipe pre rub Takara version - I got a diaclone red sunstreaker- and the one I had been wanting for years g1 overlord!! Loved the video and your list is stellar!! Deathsaurus is another I've wanted forever. Love those mail away stories. I also have the g1 starsabre and need liokiaser to complete. Some of my favorites are- powermaster prime- and the genrai version. As well as purple Takara g1 galvatron. It's nice to see videos of top shelf collecting!!

Great job!! fun video. Great job applying stickers on reflector for a little kid! Nice to hear your stories for each figure. Subbed both my accounts.

All I can say is wow, wow, wow!!!!!

Just found your channel on a nostalgia trip, planning to get all my old g1 tf's in my mother's attic and put them on shelves. They'll all be rather err... battle scarred.. I played mine to death as a kid (no regrets tbh). Just cleaned and tightened screws on Slag (G1). He's pretty worn out and his tail mechanism is all floppy now but that has it's own charm/memories I think lol.

Fabulous list. These specimens are indeed rare and desirable.

Another homerun Ken! Awesome video!!!

I have an iga optimus cab made in mexico. No trailer or box just optimus. He is painted in lead paint. A very rare piece

Just stumbled upon your channel the other day, I subscribed. Then today you said you are Canadian, hi from NS !

Nice pieces! Like a lot of kids, I lost or broke all my Transformers growing up. Over the years I acquired some of my favorites including a MIB Jetfire, who is definitely my favorite Transformer since he was just a repainted Macross VF-1S Valkyrie and I was big Robotech fan since I first watched the show in 1985. He and a loose Red Alert are the only original TFs I have but I have picked up several of the encore edition Autobot cars, Fortress Maximus, and Megatron.

I always wanted G1 Reflector. Alas, my MP version will have to do 😀

I think my rarest g1 transformer toy is my red Tracks, i bought it in a toys store back in the 1980ies here in sweden, it has worn stickers and some slight yellowing on the white but his tires have hold up and it is complete else.

Bro! Great video. I suggest looking into 3d printing for small pieces like guns and pannles 😁🤘

That's a very impressive top 10..... on my list would prob be my carded elite actionmaster turbomaster and the japanese operation combiner battle Gaia gift set

I have a Jet moto "starscream" also a Korean Pre Transformers micro change Soundwave. He has headphones...and plastic cases for the Cassette

Nice Slag. I’ve been collecting G1 and BW and now third party and some of the mainline stuff here and there, since ‘96 and I did not know that the Canadian market got that more cartoon accurate Slag.

Lovely collection and great condition Deathsaurus.

I got a G1 Grimlock at a museum In NYC in the late 80s. It was a pewter color. I've looked everywhere online and no one has any info!

I have g1 thundercracker. It was my very first transformer. The cockpit windshield broke off when I was young and the hands were lost, but it was still one of my favorite.

Beautiful collection indeed!

I have the following as well; Fortress Maximus. both Overlord. (Euro and Asia version). Victory Saber. Hopefully I can get Deathsaurus soon. I’m always in the look out for rare transformers whenever I travel around. Keep up the great work.

Those are some amazing pieces! I ionly have a few "rare" figures. BumbleJumper (yellow), Esrella Red gears, E-hobby Ghost Starscream, E-hobby Fire Guts Ginrai, and Nucleon Quest Super Convoy.

I have a Overlord MIB never played with. And most of all G1 and Victory Series. Greetings from Germany

Good choices. The only 1 I've got is Wheel Jack.

Deathsaurus still needs a new figure. I would buy it in a heartbeat lmao

Cool figs man. I am happy to say I have 2 that are on your list Reflector and Deathsaurus although my Deathsaurus isn't nearly complete as yours lol

I got a mint G1 Grandus with stickers unapplied in box for 2500 on ebay. Haven't seen another since. Also Galaxy Shuttle in box. Also blue Bluestreak diaclone in box. Also red Honda city turbo in box. Also Kaltor gold mint in box. Also mint Horribull sealed in box.

I have an optamis Prime and a simalar one as well have no idea what it's worth but willing to sell it lol

I found a bunch of these from the 1980s in my Uncle's attic with accessories

I have quite a few of the Estella/Iga and anted minibots.

#8 has been sold in bulks in India I don’t how it’s rare but I’m glad I had something as child that’s rare ,but hey I think u can still find that model being sold in Indian toy shops idk who makes them here

Great review and impressive collection.... Most impressive... Indeed the G1 Deathsarus is indeed a rare and a great figure. I'm waiting for the Haslab version to arrive at my doorstep. Did u back it?

Wonderful countdown. Do you have any special way that you store or display your boxes?

Yo! It’s Ken..., hey man... it’s Eric .... from Vancouver...

Lmaooooo my step dad put our family in 250K debt end up selling all his transformers to pay off that debit😭💰

If I had only known how valuable some of these toys were. Back in the 1980s I had one of the rarer figures. Target master Scourge. But he took tons of abuse and was destroyed by the Autobots. Stupid me

I thought it was really cool how in the cartoon reflector was one mind controlling three bodies. I absoletley hate it when in comics they make the three bodies three sepreate characters, it takes away what made Reflector intresting. Some people are just so obsessed with making this franchise so freaking boring!

I'm Just a poor Broke man and my collection is only a 5 transformers i have THE STUDIO SERIES 86#12 CORONATION STARSCREAM AND THE 2PACK EARTHRISE SEEKERS SKY WARP AND THUNDERCRACKER AND THE LEGACY GALVATRON THAT'S ALL I HAVE. BUT HEY BETTER THAN NOTHING!!

The only rare transformer figure I have is a pre transformers Micro Change watch robo.

My most precius figure is Casete man diaclone soundwave

I found classic optimus!

Question sir, can i ask if you bought the Haslab Star Saber? its quite awesome.

As some one in EU , how are do rate thunderclash and skyquake as rare figures .

Yeah, all the G1 Transformers are AWESOME. Love the collection, any Transformer fan is my kind of person. Keep up the collecting! I know there are third party companies that make "cartoon" accurate figures, which is ALWAYS #1(just the $$$$$ are quite insane). Kinda wish they're around when I was a kid. But nonetheless, I am and STILL will always be a Transformer fan.

Are the diaclone figures worth more than the g1 counterparts?

Rarest figure in my collection is marlboro diaclone wheel jack

Be honest I thought megatron be here cuss he is jard to get in full set and if you do he is for some few thousand or hundred dollars

whats your top 10 favorites?

I still have the Panamera Tornado (the purple Powermaster jet) ! It's the only transformer i kept. It's so cool. And I disagree. The red and yellow on the Japanese models looks awful. Much prefer the european release that features more teal, purple and grey.
