Megs rocks, just got the new Takara United Voyager Megs in the mail on Tuesday. Soundwave's my "must have", though. I'm only missing like 3 versions(G2, WST, and Beast Wars).

Are your Mini-cons from Armada? If so, those molds don't exist anymore and some can fetch a decent price from collectors, say on Seibertron.com...

I had a Jonny Seven Gun!

I like the fact that it was made by Topper!
Glad to note I never actually topped anyone with it.

Lock On, now there was a toy. Anyone else enjoy it? We played it a tonne, and had all sorts of extra scenarios devised- bodygaurds and assassins was the best one I can think about. Best played in the slag heaps of a disused quarry for the proper post apocolyptic feel, but beware broken ankles!

Not those, they were like a bright red and bright green.

They might have been a more run of the mill brand.

I'm hispanic, so growing up I wasn't blessed with the best toys.

@ The_Savior.

Yes,my family didn't have alot of money either,but Christmas and Birthdays were always pretty good.
I also,in my younger years,had developed the means to acquire extra toys and stuff buy using my lunch money to buy candy and then selling it to the other kids at school at a mark up..I could net high as 20 dollars a week at times,which was a fortune for an 8 year old boy.

Oklahoma City, Ok.

I freakin' hated the micronaut toys! some of the pieces where so tiny, and the plastic pieces that attached to metal always wore out after the first time you took them off.
and the spring loaded guns got 2 shots off it seemed before it would jam or the spring would break.
