Transformers Toy Collecting Is Complicated...

[@Alexisme.]

It’s come to a point where we must decide if we want a really cool figure or if we wanna eat for the week.

Wait so you're telling me if I start collecting transformers, I have a chance of getting female attention???

[@returnedtomonkey8886]

Collecting randomly whichever character you like from whichever line you can find making your collection more chaotic than the spider-verse is a peacefull life.

[@GreyWarden00]

That's what I'm trying to come to terms with right now. I went hard in the paint to collect the whole SS86 line since I love the designs and I just need Scourge and Rumble last. I saw they are releasing the WFC Gamer Edition figures, so that's the next line I'm getting everything of. Other than that I am starting to get whatever looks cool. I have both Wei Jiang Oversized Optimus and Megatron. Recently bought Legacy Evolution Jhiaxus and waiting ever so patiently for my Legacy Motormaster and Stunticons.

[@askmeaboutsugma]

Yeah, pretty much how I collect. You can't try and get every piece from every line unless you're Hasbro's CEO himself (even then it may be a bit difficult; Takara's CEO is probably gonna gatekeep a lot of the figures) so it's best to just get what you can if you like it and it's available.

[@GreyWarden00]

[@ILikebread70]

That's exactly what I do 😂

[@salseren1152]

I do it all the time its fun 😂 the literal definition of generations 😂😂😂😂

[@Channel2S]

The most fun part of Transformers collecting is that once you pay $3,000 for that mint in box Black Zarak, there's a very real possibility that the figure has crumbled to dust in the box since the type of metallic gold plastic that Hasbro used in the 80s and 90s just straight-up self-destructs. Only way to find out is to open up your $3,000 mystery box!

[@RobrickLego]

It truly is a gamble 😬

[@crisfrey2753]

Lmao i saw your comment exactly when the video asked the question

[@JadeMythriil]

Its wild how diverse transformers figures are. From cars, to animals, to robot animals, to combiners and titans. There are multiple lines that you could get into to complete your set. And thats not even touching the masterpiece lines, third party KOs, upgrade kits and sticker labels. There's so much to collect that it would take a life time to even collect them all.

[@LFPman]

In my very humble collection of Transformers figures, the best one that has a place in my heart is the Generations Combiner Wars Thundercracker. Sure he was 10cm high, weighed as much as a piece of paper, the one coloured wheel under the cockpit looks like it’s bound to break, but it was one of the best gifts I have around to this day, and am not afraid to swish it in my room or going down the stairs.

[@Trackhinations]

I got a CW Skywarp for my birthday as a gift and I basically do the same thing, too bad he doesn't have his tailfins anymore :((((

[@ItsDangerX]

My favourite transformer that exists is Ratchet in the transformers prime tv show. Talking about the character itself tho, not toys.

[@ventris425productions5]

I thought you were talking about the bad big thundercracker figure but yeah those mini guys were lovely, I had skywarp and thindercracker

[@mrmr_yesno6847]

0:10 I don’t care if it’s a war crime Sentinal deserved it

[@paulshort1027]

I used to have a shop on eBay in the early noughties, selling mostly G1 Transformers. I used to buy entire collections and complete the figures before selling them on. It got to the point i had a large accessory and parts bin that i decided to start selling off. It went down a storm and was more profitable than selling completed figures, so im surprised no one is doing this today.

[@purpleheart334]

Thanks for making the video! As a lifelong Transformers collector, the biggest struggles I face are simply deciding what to buy amongst all the options, and find SPACE. Also love the Diaclone shout out! I’m a big Diaclone fan too, I even own the Diaclone Reboot Battle Convoy(bought for aftermarket price) and it’s two repaints.

[@93MANIAC]

[@Democratic_Republic_of_Iacon]

As a Lego Star Wars fan, Lego fan, and diehard transformers fan, you are literally me, but insane enough to listen every desire…Kudos. I am indeed very envious.

[@Comindo]

As a Diehard Lego and TF fan I absolutely love this video

[@empire0]

As a kid that grew up in the 80's, I loved Transformers. I had so many Gen 1 toys, including Optimus and Megatron, the fact it transformed into a gun was so cool. Of course I played with them and god knows where they went after I stopped playing with them, if I kept everything i'd have a small fortune now. Beast Wars was awesome too, I was around 12 when that came out so I was always excited to watch that after school. And i'm glad someone else also thinks Soundwave is the best.

[@Eddi_134]

I just started getting into Transformers after watching the new movie. I initially started out just picking up whatever I could find at discount stores like Ross and Burlington, but as I started growing my collection and finding my old figures from the 07' and Animated, I began looking into OG figs and more specific lines. I havent pulled the trigger on anything major yet, my collection mostly consists of Legacy and Studio Series figs, but I am planning on making a purchase with some heft to it soon, no more than 100usd tho. Wishing G1 mold soundwave, both original and rerelease, was more accessible...

[@Bionicjay]

Us Transformers fans never thought it was possible to have a wife while playing with transformers. It’s incredible. He’s the first of he’s kind. We call him the transformers Rizz man

[@thefolly7]

I’m so glad I found your channel my guy. I love these videos and your sense of humor!

[@botbricksfilms]

Zarak’s instructions make it seem harder that it actually is. I have found that picking it up and figuring it out is a good way to do it.

[@RobrickLego]

I had a look into it but a couple of loud snaps later i decided it wasn't worth it 😅

[@optimascrime5235]

I'm so glad this guy decided to make a transformers video...And tlaking beyond the Transfomers Lego set

[@empatheticrambo4890]

I’m more of a Bionicle fan than a Transformer fan, but I do have some great memories of playing with some Transformers. I miss them, honestly

[@dkkanofkash8798]

The hardest part of Transformers collecting is guessing which figures will sell out fast and become overpriced on the aftermarket, and which figures can be waited on until a discount. In a Combiner team, at least one of the members is always guaranteed to be rare and overpriced a year after release. Repaints that go together or in duos can also become very expensive, such as Runabout compared to Runamuck.

[@RobrickLego]

I really want to buy some kind of combiner but your right either one of them is stupidly expensive or they all are

[@chromasus9983]

The Decepticons have such cool designs in the Michael Bay movies, with the first movie's Blackout definitely taking the cake. First Transformer, awesome design from a heavy helicopter. Just perfect.

[@CarRobots]

Those MIB G1 autobot cars are beautiful. I have every 84 and 85 autobot car in box except for skids and grapple. I'll complete the collection soon! Loved seeing yours and I'm happy you have such a knowledge of the old school stiff.

[@Starkillerzorkboyz]

I recently got into LEGO again ,so now I have two dept making hobbies

[@cybersilver5816]

I had a feeling after you replied to my comment that a video like this was going to happen. Because I'm obviously the main character, I'm going to delude myself into thinking that me making that comment is the reason you made this video. I'll take my royalties in cash

[@LibraDeer]

Been collecting alot of the recent core class transformers, tiny size so can mass alot of them! There's even smaller ones too.

[@Ultracharge9]

As a 2007 baby, despite being a super fan and not read any of the comics, Im proud to say that Transformers is honestly both a collection and an actual toy you can play with. It's like a puzzle in a way especially without intrsuctions. I will say the two complaints I have are exclusives and something-only figures, and the price of many especially nowadays. Deluxes I remember ranged from $17-$21.99 and nowadays are $22-$27.99 I find this video is intriguing and if you want to put your challenge yourself for complete sets, try and find figures from the combiner wars era. They're so expensive online and rare to find irl.

[@BoxFilmz]

LEGO and Transformers, this channel is the right place for me

[@slowpoke7268]

Finally someone else who loves Soundwave. I have the War for Cyberton Soundwave and Bumblebee Soundwave, with ravage (ROTF) Lazerbeak (DOTM) and another ravage (Bumblebee). Definitely the best (and strongest) Transformer.

[@RobrickLego]

The bumblebee soundwave is just the stuff of dreams!

I just collect the newer main line figures and I'm limiting myself to the ones that appeared in the transformers devastation video game (I've only cheated from this limit like five times)

I limit myself to soundwave figures only and i have yet to cheat on that limit....

[@dhazard1976]

Really enjoyed the video. All time favorite Transformer has always been Skywarp. I, now own 4 versions of him.

[@CT-9904-Crosshair]

I’ve gotten my 4yo nephew interested in transformers after he saw my collection. He was like “WOW, robots AND cars?! This is the greatest thing ever!” My personal favorite is War for Cybertron Scorponok. Beautiful figure, somehow got it for standard retail price. Also have a completed Studio Series Devastator.

[@soundvoxslegotransformers9633]

I collect various series obtaining 1 of each names of the originals from G1 but I also get cool new characters, but my version of the guys come from each of the different series.

[@kidcollectable4043]

Awesome video! My favorite is probably Optimus Prime!

[@isuckatusernames4297]

honestly, I gotta thank some KO companies like baiwei and APC toys for re-doing some older/rarer figures who are also on the more affordable side, it's helped me quite alot.

[@RobrickLego]

Yeah KOs really make the hobby more approachable especially if you really like the look of an older model 😊

[@ExaltedArchvile]

Some of my favorite Transformers toys are the Studio Series 86 Dinobots. Grimlock, Snarl, Sludge, and Slug so far. They've yet to make Swoop, which is coming next year. I love them because of how big and chunky they feel, intuitive transformations, and, I mean, cmon. ROBOT DINOSAURS MAN.

[@sir_captainmorgan]

I know nothing about transformers beyond that Optimus is the good guy leader and sound wave is the coolest dude there is, still really enjoyed the video!

[@beatrixwickson8477]

The real warcrime is Lego Optimus Prime's thigh stickers being upside down in the instructions and box art. At least it's just easy to flip 2x4 tiles.

[@MCS_Mr.Malice]

Personal faves in order are Wheeljack, barricade, starscream ,whirl, skytread and soundwave.

[@gregleuze6657]

I am starting to realize that all my toys were committing war crimes. Favorites, Megatron, Starcream, or any of the other of his brother jets, and Soundwave. Any way you could do an entire episode on the Yellow Castle?

[@inthetoyroom4life]

You should do a YT short of the "he's a boat" bit, that was way more funny than it should've been

[@NA-du6dz]

I think if there is any side that gets the worse of the tf collecting it’s the masterpiece stuff since you can either get the real thing for a whole mortgage or get the cheap KO it’s crazy to collect the masterpiece line

[@warshipfoxy9683]

as someone that was "late" to the party when it comes to transformers toys and "only" having DLX megatron,Soundwave and Flametoys Tarn i figured well might as well get the original Megatron... i was not prepared for the realasation that a intact one will cost me more then two DLX Figures...so yeah transformers toys are surprisingly expesive

[@brickinitLego]

Took me right back to the best Christmas ever which ended with my Megatron and Soundwave in an epic battle against my brothers Optimus Prima and Jazz. Just a few more of the many thousands of pounds worth retirement fund I’d have if they told you what these things would be worth when you got old (and that had actually been something I could have related to). Another bussin’ video. (Did I use that right?).

The worst part about collecting transformers, especially as someone whos new to it, its hard to find available figures because they get bought so quickly. Especially on Hasbro Pulse. Amazon has good figures but they arent always available and some of them come from untrustworthy sellers

Robrick, I'm surprised you didn't pick up any awesome Transformers from Kingdom (specifically Beast Wars characters) or Studio Series, given your beginnings with the franchise. If you're more into cars nowadays and want to assemble your toys, Legacy Stunticons (just rereleased in a single box set for your convenience) should be right up your alley.

[@JackSmith-ns1uq]

This video is great because ive been a lego guy my whole life, until the Studio series came out. It caught my eye for years and now I finally started collecting and boy am I in it. Collecting from Hasbro is SO different from Lego. Im still figuring it out, and it doesn’t help that the majority of my purchases are on ebay at 100% increase from original price. The rise of the beast line is the first time ive been able to purchase from Hasbro directly and I missed the first 2 lines because I thought “oh ill just get that once its on shelves” which never happened because apparently you have 3 days to preorder it or youll never get it. So ive only preordered whats most recently available.

[@Omar_ZX]

Well the black zarak is a reissue of the previous war for cybertron black zarak (and same with soundwave because he's from siege and just copy and pasted into legacy) but not a reissue of the g1 black zarak, very minor but important detail to add for non tf super fans

To me the biggest problem is it's near impossible to get a complete collection from any series. Too many repaints and retools of the same figure that are supposed to be different characters.

[@RobrickLego]

Its really frustrating 😥

[@mistaken_stranger8343]

@@RobrickLego to give an example armada had starscream, a blue repaint called thunder cracker, and a purple version with a different head called skywarp. Then during the late Cybertron they released the same figure in as Dirge and Ramjet. I think there was a sunstorm one but can't remember. So there is 5/6 figures using the one mold.

So Lego Optimus Prime got me into Transformers and let me tell you it's hell in my country of South Africa. We get maybe, and this is being generous, 5 percent of the new releases. You may think that's because we are a third world country, but we get most other toys and luxury items. For Lego we get at least 95 percent of all releases with only some retailer exclusives falling through the cracks. We have 5 Lego stores which is more than most countries of this size. Same can be said for several other toy and collector lines. The distributor for Transformers just seems to be terrible here.
