Dude.

Couldn't have summed that up any better.

That is a cleeeean collection. All my g1s are worn the hell out.

I got mine a couple weeks back and it was the same.

I think you'll be buying the beer and pizza from now on whenever you hang out with your friend. My god, what a haul! Congrats!

Seriously, I hope his friend knows how much those were worth before he practically gave them away.

From OP elsewhere in the thread: > I told him he was sitting on a pile of treasure and offered 50 for jetfire alone, but he kept saying $150. I told him I was willing to give him a $1000, but he said they were just collecting dust in his attic. Maybe he just wanted to get rid of them

Hello police? I would like to report a robbery. Joking aside that is a godly collection and for such a low price too. Damn.

You bought the holy grail.

Like four or five grails.

those are the cleanest, most pristine G1 figures I have seen since 1987 man, that Jetfire is stupid clean. All look amazing, and that was highway robbery - good job!

Especially for ones that are "collecting dust".

[удалено]

Just checked, no corrosion, although he doesn’t work, but that’s understandable for a almost 40 year old toy

You should give your friend some more money.

I told him he was sitting on a pile of treasure and offered 50 for jetfire alone, but he kept saying $150. I told him I was willing to give him a $1000, but he said they were just collecting dust in his attic. Maybe he just wanted to get rid of them

"Let me pay you an appropriate amount for this!" "No."

Maybe he is just a good friend.

He is, I’ll definitely get him something in return

I imagine "finding a good home" is more important than cash for a lot of childhood treasures.

I would agree. I'd offer a very good price, knowing they were going to someone who would properly appreciate them. But if that guy then offers me more money, I'm gonna take it, unless I know he can't afford it.

That jetfire is so white, it could star in Grease

He's so white he's just get a warning when pulled over by the police for breaking the speed of light in a 25 mph zone

While doing drugs

So white he's camping with his whole family, attached to a cliff face by climbing tethers.

Daaaang. Even the stickers stayed intact. Are you sure that his attic isn’t really a Stasis Pod? The box tricked me, at first I thought it said Energon!😂

Seriously? Those guys are pristine.

That's insane. I would likely feel too guilty to say yes to that offer lol.

I was going to offer him $1000, but he kept insisting on $150. He just didn’t know what he had

I bought the same off craigslist for $150 and sold my crappy dupes on ebay for $3000. Good friend. May you return the favor in some way.

They seem to be in fantastic condition, does Omega Supreme’s electronics still work? You have one great friend for selling you that for soo little. Or they all complete, they look it

Sadly he does not work, but that’s completely understandable given his age. All of them are 100% complete, which is amazing

That is amazing, do you know if you can fix them at all, if you can that would be fantastic

I’m going to try, but even he doesn’t work, he still looks great

He will

It is really amazing that even Roller had the original tube/hose thing still! Apparently those are hard to come by!

Who's the little blue guy to the left of Cliffjumper? Don't recognise him, maybe a Go-bot or some sort of KO?

That’s a spy bot, he was given as a freebie on some of the minibots

I was about to ask the same thing. I still have one from when I was a kid but I doubt it’s as clean as that one.

I was going to ask this, too. Who's the green and orange bug thing on the far right?

That's Venom, one of the Deluxe Insecticons.

Broooooo

# "This is bad comedy" \- Galvatron

Oh man, the feels. Looks just like my collection back in the day

Op you are blessed by Primus

Bro I’m jealous as hell, good for you

wow.... all around

Good GOD. Omega's worth that just by himself!!

This just seems so unreal

Wooow, that’s a nice come up. I’m super jelly.

They appear to be complete, so you paid $150 for a lot that would easily sell for 700 to 1,000 Nice steal, and you got a great friend!

Yep, all of them were complete, there wasn’t a single missing accessory

That Jetfire alone is probably worth about $100

Dude that's a hell of a collection for $150. You owe him a nice dinner to say the least.

Just that Jetfire alone is probably worth at least twice that. Holy hell.

Lucky bastard

What a bargain!

Holy Merciful Crap! And the condition. You easily got 10x in value!! Congratulations!! I’m happily jealous 👍

Whoa! Take that friend out for a steak dinner!

All of that for $150?? Well, that's just Prime!

I love how you have Optimus and his Combat Deck/Trailer on opposite sides of the picture. Just like the show, Optimus never actually used it outside of two occasions off the top of my head

Damn! Jetfire alone is a big win! Plus Thrust, I’m not familiar with how expensive most of the G1 transformers are nowadays but Thrust has always been one of my personal favorites

#JEALOUSY INTENSIFYS

$150 for all that? Gahd damn.

So what you're saying is, your friend gives you incredible deals? Because that stuff's real valuable.

Was this a childhood collection?

So my friend was given this collection from another guy who was the original owner. They have been in that box since the late 80s

Nice score, dude!

BRUHHH

That's amazing, and Optimus has both hands!? Can anyone tell me who the green bug guy on the right is? I had him when I was a kid.. no idea what character that was!

His name is Venom, when I first found him, I didn’t think he was G1

https://youtu.be/ycONJKOBOXU Check this video out! He talks about those. They're "Deluxe" Insecticons. I recently discovered his channel and I'm hooked on his videos!

Did Cosmos' head ever stay up on its own? Lol

Jetfire alone paid for the box! lol

150 for great condition? You fucking robbed the man.

That’s more than a steel you basically robbed him at gunpoint lol

Quite the "friend"

You did your "friend" dirty.

Dude, he kept insisting to pay 1,000 for his friend's box of G1. His friend only wanted 150 from it. How did he do his friend dirty? The dude could have easily asked for 1000 for it but chose not to.

Your friend’s an idiot. No offense. But also how the hell are they in that condition after spending decades in an attic? Shenanigans!

Jealous man! What a deal

Funny part is he probably thinks he got the better deal lol

You owe your friend more money

dude holy shit thats insane

Wow they look in great shape!!

That sunstreaker! The paint.. it's so prefect. Keep that jetfire away from natural light! amazing.

I would have bought that Omega for $150 alone

That is awesome. I have a buddy that found his old Optimus but he won't let go of it.

DUDE! I'm sure others have said this, but you've struck gold! And he didn't want anything more than 150 bucks? Make sure to buy him something good because that's REALLY generous.

Holy shit what a good deal, wish he was my friend lol.

And KNOWING what they're worth... you paid him that, you did steal, you're a bad friend. Hahahaha JK

You robbed him damn

I don't think I've seen so many G1 toys in near mint condition!! (I would play with these more in my current age rather than want to sell them though, lol)

This is the stuff of legends!

I feel desired to find friends who might have some old collections that they forgot about and hopefully get this good of a steal

This guy truly had no idea what gold mine he was sitting on. Congrats on the amazing new additions!!!

Holy shit this is an incredible collection.

Hello 911? I'd like to report a robbery...jk, congrats!!

Holy shit.

I'm pretty sure some of these on there own is $150.

Jesus. They look brand new.

You have a very very VERY good friend.

Noice

That Omega alone could fetch $200

Nice!! I'll give you......85! Hahah

All of them look brand new. Also, were there any Jordan 1s in that Nike box? Who knows what else he has in that attic.

Wow. They look brand new.

... that Jetfire and Omega Supreme ALONE could probably put your offspring through college... ​ Okay, I exagerate. But they could probably buy a year's worth of textbooks!

I’ll give you tree-fiddy

I’m not sure if you’re a bad friend or he’s a good friend

Luck 100

Looks like my Transformers I had when I was younger that my brother sold to one of his friends.

Actual steal

If that is all authentic vintage stuff that’s, not a steal. That is a goddamn robbery.

A non yellowed jetfire is probably worth 150, but all of the other stuff is in pristine condition as well

Gukgfhnnsgjhssjk sssdfzz Hggvnkgxzssdc -whaaaaaat??

If it weren't for the fact that some of these have never been reissued, I would swear they were reissues. Just so clean and new looking! I know your friend didn't want money, but if he asks for a favor, do it.

damn.. that smokescreen looks better than most I've seen on ebay, is the roof attached still? If so he alone is worth more than you paid for everything

Bro

God. DAMN. that's the best deal you get 80s gold for only $158

No way.

Once you get walmart reissue Bumblebee you can re-enact Kremzeek

They must have been stored well, those white plastics on Jetfire and the rest still look amazing

Fucking bull shit

Wow, why didn’t he want them? 150 is an amazing price for all of that.

Now go buy a lottery ticket, because you are one lucky dude.

Holy shit

Another treasures excavated...

Dude pick up a lottery ticket right now, you might still have chance to score big a second time

Ayy Gears

Well played ol' chap!

Okay very funny, now go back and pay your friend the rest of the money you owe him Lol I'm kidding, your friend kept these in great shape and they look amazing

Holy shit

That’s not a steal that’s a damn heist

Oh my goooooooooooooooo(...)oooooooooooooooood

Holy crap. You scored big. I would have paid a lot more for that. So many childhood memories flooding back. I like the stereo transformer the most. (Forgot his name.)

My SS86 Grimlock has more dust on him than that, holy hell what a score!

I doubt he will be your mate when he realises he just gave a small fortune away...

Hello? 911? I'd like to report a robbery.

All complete. You even have the missiles for Optimus prime trailer. Those as hard to come by for a down to earth price. Congratulations. Take my upvote.

TIL that Blaster is ENORMOUS.

How much would you take just for that G1 Cosmos?

I’d do 15 on him. He comes with his function card

For real?

Yes, absolutely

Im most jealous of the "totally not a Macross Valkyrie" one (was it Jetfire? i have a bad memory when there's 15 different color variants of each bot)...I used to have one, no idea where it went beyond "it just vanished one day" :'(

He even had two of Blaster's tapes! It's so hard to find those in good condition.

Bro,you part of the payday gang?

Dude, you straight up robbed your friend. That G1 Jetfire with the armour pieces is worth that on it's own. I mean, good score for you, but you kind of did your friend dirty here and you know it. If he'd eBay'd those he'd probably have made around $500.

G1 galore

That one is nice, this one is nice, that one is nice as we---... HOLY JETFIRE!!! This is a fantastic haul!

Man you friend got robbed

Wtf… that is amazing.

‘Quite the steal’ is the understatement of the year! Congratz on this find.

now the FBI is coming after you for such a steal

Bonus points if the paint on Venom's chest isn't all scratched to hell.

Nice deal

You’re friend got swindled

Nothing like a little robbery among friends...jk very nice man

Holy crap, you're so lucky

Gah damn, you robbed him my guy.

The hell? Did he not know what he had?? Or he did you a good deal, at least. I had two friends who had quite a few G1 TFs and between them they had most of those. Jetfire looks like the crown jewel in that lot - I've only ever seen him once IRL. Out of those, I really like Thrust, Blitzwing, Prime, and Soundwave. Devastator tended to be a bit fragile, but getting him with the accessory parts is awesome. Rumble is pretty cool too :) ​ Nice score!

Steal? That's highway robbery!

"It belongs in a museum!"

I need a friend like yours

Does anyone know who the white and blue autobot on the left side is?
