I worked in a comic shop last year; I then had the weirdest customer…
Me: hi, welcome to Comics Corner! How can i help you?
Customer: Yeah, I’m looking for Transformers toys.
Me: Well, we’re mostly sold out, but we do have these Robot Replicas left…
Customer: Do they transform?
Me: These? Nah, ‘fraid not. They were made more for people who liked the movie bots’ detail that was lost in making the transformable toys.
Customer: Oh, that sucks. Don’t you have anything else? C’mon, I’m sure you have some stock hidden away…
me: Nup. ‘Fraid it’s all we got left since the movie craze hit. Stock comes in, stock goes out within the day.
Customer: Why the hell have these toys sold out EVERYWHERE?!!!
Me: No need to shout, mate. It’s just supply and demand; Too much of the latter, not enough of the former. Had to go through hell and high water to finish my Bumblebee collection.
So… Looking to get some transformables for your desk, huh?
Customer: No, i keep mine mint in box.
me: …So why does it matter whether they transform…?

I just don’t get why some people get transformers and then leave them in the box. You can’t even play with them then. And if your displaying them you’re only displaying half of them because the point of Transformers IS TO TRANSFORM. Really, it’s like getting a rubiks cube and never taking it out of the box because the point of a rubiks cube is to be twisted and scrambled. Other toys I can understand, just not transformers.
Well, it’s a good idea to get a 2nd of the same figure and leave one in the package and release one from the package.
For example:
if I get another Classics Jetfire I would release my first one for like stop-motion (and transformation) and leave the 2nd one in the package for display.
Tracks: Rachet, I think I might be a homosexual!
Rachet: How can you tell?
Tracks: I don’t know, but I keep seeing sparkly things that would look dashing on my rearview mirror.

Poor Tracks…..

I don’t see the point of collecting toys as an investment; It’s horrible to keep them in a box; they must be allowed to roam free and transform!

December 15th, 2008 at 12:26 am
mint, meaning undamaged and/or un-modified (I think).

The downside is… it can be very pricy these days.

Is that true cause I let Tracks out of the pacaging.
October 27th, 2011 at 6:24 pm
Tracks: Rachet, I think I might be a homosexual!
Rachet: How can you tell?
Tracks: I don’t know, but I keep seeing sparkly things that would look dashing on my rearview mirror.

See? It’s cruelty to keep your TFs caged. LET THEM OUT! Why would you buy them if you’re not going to use them?!
