the day your favourite toy spoiled.....
-
or the toy u regretted never bought but when u went back sold out liao....
1. one of my rare catch: a die cast metal Mospeada Veritech (Red in color and transformable into the three modes).......but my bro spoil it by twisting/breaking it into two at the robot's hip....bought from Toys R US Parkway Parade when I was 8-9 yrs.....quite expensive $29.90/- twenty years back...never see it around the shops before.....who knows, could become a collector's item if it is not spoilt
2. A plastic "Rook" figure from the Mospeada series with her red cyclone. Transformable also into Rook's armour. Regretted never bought from Toys R US also. It was $14.90 I think.
Come to think of it...Toys R US Parkway last time got a section with red price tags which means offer price. Can usually get a lot of goodies there. Bought a chiong china made "Preceptor" Transformer there also. Identical to the original except it is black in color. -

I have a teddy bear my mom bought me on one of our routine trips to People's Emporium when I was four.
It's called Twinkle Bear, wears PJs and a little nightcap on one ear.
Twinkle Bear glows in the dark, from its fur to the little stars on its PJs.
I carried it wherever I went - to Port Dickson, Phuket, China etc etc. It tore so many times and my mom mended it as many times. Whenever it was put into the washing machine, I would wait impatiently until it dried so I could hug it to sleep at night again.
Until one day a patch of fur came off, I decided to put it in a plastic bag and not hug it anymore.
It's now sitting in plastic bag in a box in the corner of my wardrobe.
If anybody sees another bear like this, please let me know. -
I also used to have two clockwork clowns whose heads would turn whenever you wound it up. And the musical-box music would play!
But I don't know where they are now. -
And then and then... I used to have a hugeass PINK furry teddy bear that was even bigger than the 5-year old me! But it tore apart when I was fighting my brother with it.
-
my Corgi Batmobile (from the Adam West TV Series).... I broke it apart to see how the weapons work... couldn't put it back.... still have the parts (emphasis on the word PARTS) somewhere in the house.

I had a blue teddy bear when i was a kid,i think my mom bought it for me.
that was what, 10 years back? hoho, until now i still love it. But i cant find it anymore, someone must have thrown it away -
The very first Transformer - Optimus Prime back in 1988...
It broke into small bits and pieces when it fell off the shelf...
Think Optimus costed $79.90 back then, and it was a birthday gift from my dad...
Now bought the MP01 and MP04 Optimus Prime, treasured it alot... Only thing is that my wife is always 'educating' my Mini Me 1 that his daddy spent close to $700 on the two toys...

Optimus Prime is out of my reach when I was young (too expensive). Now it is even worse. U got to fork out a few hundreds for that.Originally posted by dork3d:The very first Transformer - Optimus Prime back in 1988...

I remember myself always going back to Toys R Us to hold that big box: Fortress Maximus. I can never afford that ($199.95).
My most expensive series were the Decepticons predacons. Once Isetan had an offer and the Japan versions were selling for $19.90 each. Bought all except the lion (forgot the name liao) as I think it sold out. If not I can combine them to make bigger robot. I usually buy the main stream smaller ones....like insecticons, protectobots.....and I remembered u can cut out the points from the card board last time, go to seven eleven and exchange for transformer toys once u accumulated enuff.
I think Headmasters and Pretenders were pretty good. Japan artists drew the cartoon nicer looking (like ninjas) but the story suck.
You daddy liao? How old are u? I 28. -

Very true... Back then the prices for Transformers like Megatron, Starscream, Optimus Prime, Dinobots, Constructicons were on a high side around $59.90 above...
Bumblebee, Soundwave were more affordable at $29.90... -
Bumblebee was cheap but never buy haha. Was it 9.90 or 11.90? coz it was small.Originally posted by dork3d:Me now 31... With two Mini Mes, aged one and another aged two months... My wife's 23...

Soundwave I remembered not that cheap....it is bigger size, like its autobot counterpart Blaster who is also a radio. All I can afford are the small tapes which fit into their radio mode. I remember I have one small rhinoceros which belong to Blaster. If I not wrong the names of the decepticon tapes are Frenzy, Rumble, Lazerbeak, Ravage etc. Rumble and lazerbeak though very small but play big parts in the TV series. U can always see Rumble starting the attack on autobots by changing his hands into hammers that beat the ground. Lazerbeak too always start the attack with lazers shooting out from its eyes.
I enjoy the dinobots cartoon series on TV. Story was very good. But I never buy any of the toys becoz it is too expensive. I have nearly all the constructicons. Even bought two sets of chiong one which can combine into Devastator. But the chiong ones dun last long. Break easily.
I remembered the first 1st generation robots which can combine into bigger robot are the aerial bots. I only have one plane out of the five or six. Last time if we visit provision shop we can always buy transformer snap together toys for cheap. It is smaller size but I have fun assembling them. Always looking out for the new series. Of coz, they are made of inferior plastic and dun last long. But I always have a sense of accomplishments when I finish assembling and start pasting the decals on them.
Should have bought 1st gen Starscream. I think it can fetch a fortune now. -
hmmm....
I actually have Optimus Prime, Megatron, and Ultra Magnus.... but in terrible condition. Come to think of it.... quite sad...

all those are expensive toys..... -
My Mickey Mouse... that one is mend until cannot mend, they so fed up that they threw it away. Of all things to throw, they throw away Mickey Mouse. Really angry. Now that I think of it, I don't think I feel more sadness, more of anger.
There's also this Donald Duck. Another one mend until cannot mend. Gave it up one day. Otherwise, it's a fine duck. When I was young, he was as tall as me.
Then there's this penguin that's blue in colour. I hugged this to sleep everyday. My parents not happy that I hugged it everyday, had it washed pretty regularly till it torn. Threw away.
There's another blue rabbit which I picked up from a rubbish bin. Brand new! Don't know why it was thrown away. Brought it back, and they threw it away while I wasn't around.
Gave away a bear that I shouldn't. It's one of the bears from Bossini, its name is Hope. I still missed it... -
I remember when i was young there was this cartoon with dinosaurs in them? dino riders? or something along that lines. anyway, my Godpa brought me out one day and he asked me to get a toy for myself. i got the triceratops one. then one day my uncle stepped on it! and it broke (my uncle fell down btw
). my heart almost broke along with it! it was my fav toy! -
you noe the botak thing with a fishing rod i think, it will shake shake its head... i dunno wer to buy liao =(
-
O yea! i had the beast wars opimus prime and my cousin had the beast wars megatron, everytime we meet we always ''fight'' until the shoulder turret of my prime broke, he lost his right leg, lost both his weapons. then got trown away by my mom.
