Transformers 40th anniversary Trading Card Hobby Box #1. Who Likes Gears?

[@A.Campbell]

I really wanted to buy a box, but just couldn't justify the price. They look great though

[@ShaneSkaalerud-nk2jk]

17:57 yes I did have Transformer toys when I was young. And then in 2020 when I got my first carbon tax I went out and bought earthrise. And I've been collecting ever since. The G1 look. I have about 50. Need about 50 or 60 more. I'm just collecting 1984 to 1986 and maybe a little 7.

[@supprr]

Nice collection! Earthrise was a real cool line, I'm also liking the Studio Series 86 figures. I think for me my favorite G1 figures are the early autobot cars, but they are so fragile.

[@ShaneSkaalerud-nk2jk]

@supprr yeah some of them were.

[@ShaneSkaalerud-nk2jk]

I think the puzzle pieces are fun. You get a mini poster.

[@markmierau5189]

Too bad they don't have their tech specs numbers on the back of the cards.

[@jordanphillips4781]

Bro sounds like he got traumatized by the 1986 movie. Honestly fair enough though lol

[@KJCowboyDan]

Ok the nostalgia just keeps flowing.... want want want...

[@ShaneSkaalerud-nk2jk]

Really good video. I enjoyed watching it.

[@richardklunder7052]

Glad I ordered them for my store ❤

[@metroplex_prime8891]

😭😭😭😭 I want to buy !!!!

[@miffedakko9312]

Hey, pretty cool to see these coming out! I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to illustrate some sketch cards for this set, pretty cool to see what else is in these packs.

[@supprr]

@miffedakko9312 wow that's awesome! Unfortunately I wasn't able to pull a sketch in the 2 boxes I opened. Did you get a choice as to what Transformers you got to sketch? So cool!

[@herbbranan2188]

The foils of the original box art look sweet! I have a good number of the 1985 cards, although they aren't in the best of shape. I recall a local flea market had a table that had a box of them, and I think I dumped every cent I had into buying them. IIRC, there were no puzzle pieces in that set lol. Also no Season 3 or movie stuff since, you know, it predated Season 3 or the movie. They did have scenes from the cartoon, which for some reason annoyed me about as much as the puzzle pieces annoyed you. I really loved (and still do love) the box art for the toys.

[@supprr]

The foils look soo good in hand. I wish they put in scenes from the cartoons in these new boxes! Those old cards were awesome, I didn't have any but I see them pop up for sale every so often. The old box art is great, a good nostalgic trip.

[@afrotoa]

Why did they have to put the 40th anni logo on each puzzle piece? They look terrible

[@supprr]

I put the puzzles together and you are so right. It ruins the image.

[@prowlprime]

I love Gears.

[@raulzavala9061]

They look nice but the small card size doesn't really let you appreciate the artwork.

[@katanshin]

honestly, really disappointed with these cards. I'm all for the nostalgia but I'd rather have MTG style holos and Pokemon style altart cards...

[@supprr]

Dynamite dropped the ball on this set. No guaranteed hit in hobby boxes, no cool inserts. Alternate arts would have been awesome.

[@Venturai]

I like the idea of collector cards for the 40th anniversary, but the execution leaves something to be desired. Disappointing to see you end up getting so many duplicates from the same hobby box.

[@grimbonation4491]

you are just as bad as perceptor whinge whinge whinge(about the puzzle pieces)

[@supprr]

@grimbonation4491 cmon you have to admit having 4 puzzle pieces in a pack is pretty bad :(

[@herbbranan2188]

It really sucks to open a pack and two or three of the "cards" are really 1/9th of a card.
