Everyone is entitled to whatever they want to do, keep a collection sealed or opening them, for me as a collector it's much more satisfying to hold a collection in your hands play with it a little before you set it up for display, just reminding you of the good old days of when you played a toy as a kid, or if it's a toy you never had and finally as an adult you have it and by curiosity you want to open and touch the toy and feeling that nostalgia is something that truelly brings up a nostalgic value more than just keeping a toy sealed for the sake of "Value"... If a toy means something to you the value is already high regardless if it's sealed or not so props to you for opening them I can sense a satisfaction In you to opening these toys and probably bringing you back to nostalgia of the 80s...
Great memories of my friends having Scooter, Leader 1, and Cy kil. I remember trying to buy Pincher in August 1985, but my dad bought me the Transformers Huffer instead. I did have a watch that was a grey mini version of Scooter.
Absolutely beautiful collection! Gobots are my passion as well and I have most of them but not in such great condition. You make me wanna buy them all mint in package. Wow! Thanks. Great video.
I really enjoyed this video! Thank you for sharing this. It's awesome! I have a renewed appreciation for these figures since I recently obtained all the episodes on DVD. I have very fond childhood memories of that show and my GoBot figures. I am 47 but still a kid at heart. Thanks again!
TODD M Thank you, yeah I don’t remember too much of the cartoon since I watched Transformers, but actually had more Gobots as a kid than Transformers. Always loved the quirky names of each character too. Have a good one 👍
Your collection is IMPRESSIVE! I'm a Transformers fan too, but I've seen every movie and episode of every series a hundred times over so GoBots is a nice change of pace. You are very fortunate to have such a collection. I envy you. Take care.
TODD M Thanks again. This collection took me almost 5 years to complete. I was looking for sealed but didn’t care how the card looked since I knew I was going to open them. Goal was just to have a new mint collection that I can experience opening each figure and get that sense of being a kid again. I’ve had some feedback when I originally put out the video of people not liking me opening vintage figures. I’m still happy I did open them and when Im having a bad day I just walk past the display it just makes me feel good. Well very cool to meet another Gobots fan. 👍
I can imagine it took a lot of time, money, and effort to complete your collection. Your hard work paid off, my friend. You should be proud. I don't know you, but I certainly am proud of your collection. There's nothing wrong with opening the figures. It's neither their concern nor decision. It's cool to meet another GoBots fan, too. If you lived closer, we'd have a marathon.
Truly a real nice collection and a job well done collecting them. I used to have most of them plus the Super Gobots as well. Looks like you still need a Puzzler set.
Otto Tarnowske Thanks man. So I did have Monsterous , Puzzler , and some of the Super Gobots when I started collecting. I decided to focus on Only the 3” carded ones numbers 1-72. This way it kept me on track. Plus they are all the same size and come together as a nice collection whearas Puzzler was a larger scale about 4.5” tall for each robot so it was like a deluxe transformer verse a legends transformer scale. Thanks for watching. It has been fun and stressful at the same time building this collection. 👍
This is amazing. I'm a big Gobots fan, loved the toys and cartoon as a kid, and I still have all my original Gobots.... didn't get the whole collection, missing a few from the last line released... and of course Snoop and Tail Pipe (jealous!). So cool to see your collection!!
Mister 80 Retro It has been a long journey to get to this point. Some of them towards the end I paid a little too much for just to complete the set. Technically I still need the Black variant of Tail-pipe, but I told myself that I wasn’t collecting variants. I feel fortunate to get one of them. Thanks for the complement. It brings me joy to see the collection everyday. 👍
Monsieur Toys Thank you. It had taken many years to find them all. Collecting 1-72 on card was a challenge for me to find them throughout the years. I never started a Super Gobots collection. Sometimes it’s all about focus that gets you to the end. 👍
@@LotusStark yeah I hear that!! I would too. My vision was for an anime series/movies collection .Older the better! Now I've got my great wall of anime...which my wife laughs at🤣
Daniel Boyer yeah that’s one thing I didn’t do is go after all the variants. I focused on just the NA set. Just card back numbers 1-72. That was hard enough for me. There are so many repaints and different Gobots in the machine robo line. Same for the super Gobots, Maybe that would be the neat set I put together. 👍
I had a few of these when I was a kid " pumper and dumper 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆" one thing for sure at least they were easy to transform not so complicated like the transformers were you almost need a book to look at
Yeah I feel there is just something special about the Gobots. They never got the publicity as the Transformers did. Like you said , very simple to transform too. I’m still happy to have collected this set. 👍
I remember buying pocket-money Robo Machines (GoBots) back in 1983 before the cartoon premiered! In 1984, my first Transformer was Huffer, and he was my favourite. It seems that Transformers killed him off..., but GoBots brought him back... as Road Ranger! I'm a GoBot now! *;-)* Thanks for the great video! I keep rewatching it!
@@LotusStark They certainly are! A fellow has posted a clip of Road Ranger, you can see him here; ruclips.net/video/I2j2EE6ZtxE/видео.html I recently picked up the GoBots TV series on DVD and it's really reminded me of my childhood and reawakened my passion for GoBots!
peppermint oil capsule Yeah GoBots Road ranger looks a little different, than the black as red Dia clone pre Transformer Of him. Always fun to look back in history. I had more Gobots than Transformers but didn’t watch the Gobots cartoon. I watched Transformers instead.
@@LotusStark I'm fortunate enough to have both the GoBots and Transformers versions of Road Ranger. When I bought that e-Hobby GoBots boxed-set circa 2004, I had no idea it would become so sought after! I grew up with both cartoons.... I'm glad the continuities are merged now, as it gives me back (a version of) Huffer again. *"GoBots, Roll-Out!"*
Open each gobot was a great thing. They are part of your life and you'll keep them for youlself. Therefore, your're the one who have to enjoy that! I love Dive Dive and Wrong Way! I still keep some flashbacks in my mind when I see them!
Salvador García Labarta Thank you. It’s a great feeling to have a collection like this. Plus like you said opening them all up and having the feeling of being a kid again. Dive dive and wrong way are are both awesome. The names for each character is the best. I mean dive dive for a submarine. 👍
fatherdolli Thank you, I agree it was so much fun opening each Gobot and putting them on display in my cabinet. I still have them setup the same and it just makes me feel like a kid again when i look at them. 👍
fatherdolli yeah I never understood why they were all packaged that way. I guess it kind of looked like they were saying hey look at me I’m here, buy me. 😀
The best part about this collection is how the interpretation of robot towards the end gets a little sloppy lol I had a ton of these as a kid in the mid 80s and played with them non stop
Wow great collection..all such great shape..i love the display..i wouldve done the same thing..Open them ! Lol i had like 3 of these growing up..we couldnt afford tranformers lol..Hey..was Copter white on top? I believe i had him..but i swear mine was alot of white and blue..with a bubble orange yellow window cockpit...cool video..took me back in time. I had nomidea thye made this many diff one..Now i want some of them again..where did you find those on cards..wow.
Love ya and I appreciate it but if you did a single video for each and got them in full shot with transformations you would have a thing also read the back of the box. Lots of views for this.
chesco Thanks. The truth is it took me years to collect sealed figures. The goal was to create a museum quality display. I opened up all the Gobots to put them on display behind glass, but have no intention of transforming them. I would like to keep all their joints as tight and crisp as they are fresh out of the package. I make zero money from RUclips views and even if I did, it wouldn’t be worth it to me to transform them. Too many years of hunting. I just want to appreciate them as a North American retail set behind glass. Every time I walk buy them it just takes me back to a similar time in life. Thanks again for your comment, have a great rest of your week man. 👍
Cool collection. Blockhead and Crain brain’s arms extend out...if you didn’t already know. I have a nice collection too. All mine are in the collectors cases. I lost count of how many of those collectors cases I have. The hard figures for me to get (either hard to find or extremely expensive) was: Tail Pipe, Ace, Bullseye, Sky Jack, (these next few were hard to get and they were never released in the gobots toyline but they were in the machine robo line. They were later added to a gobots/transformers comic under these names) Jack Attack, Decker Decker, Apollo, (the next two were never part of the gobots line nor part of a gobots comic and they were never giving a gobot name but since they were machine robo, I got them) Jumbo Jet, Three Wheel Buggie, (the last few were just different colored version of a few characters, most likely knock offs) Green Twin Spin, Blue Street Heat, Green Gynner. I’m probably missing a few that was hard for me to get but that’s what I can remember.
Blue Jay I was trying to do as little as possible to move any of the limbs beside moving the left arm from upright position to a lower position after I remove from the card. The collection for me is just to preserve a mint collection that is out of the package but not played with or transformed with the exception of moving the arm down. As for Tail pipe he was released in the Gobots line on card in red which is the one I have and black which I think is harder to find than the red. Both versions will cost a lot in the hundreds of dollars range if you’re looking for sealed on card. Ace, skyjack Bullseye were also released on card in the Gobots line as well. Out of the three Bullseye will be the most expensive followed by skyjack followed by ace. This has been close to 5 years of collecting them to make a set meaning I have at least one representation of carded numbers 1-72 which I have opened to display. There are color variants which I didn’t concern myself with as long as I had one of them. Like you said it’s hard enough to have 1 tailpipe let alone both color variants. I’m working on a custom case for them as well. The case I have them in now is weather strip sealed and works well. I’m not sure how many people have a full numbered mint set maybe just you and I not sure. I’m just happy to have one of them. I don’t read the comics, or was a big fan of the cartoon, but had more Gobots than I did Transformers so they mean a lot to me. Thanks for the comment and it’s cool to meet another Gobots fan 👍
This is an absolutely amazing display. I wish you had done all the unboxings on camera but completely understand why you didn’t. Some of the monsters and insects are very strange looking and are not ones that I have ever soon before. Number 64 Mr. Moto also leaves a lot to be desired in robot mode but again this is my first time seeing him. I love this display. Thanks for sharing. I’ve enjoyed every bit of your Gobots journey that you shared with us. Please keep me in mind if you ever decide to part with the set...LOL. Cheers M
Transformers and Video Games Thanks M, yeah I just figured now is the time to open the rest and be done with it. Plus it is nice to see them all lined up next to each other. Number 57 Tail Pipe was the most expensive costing me 300$ technically there is a black variant of him I don’t have and can’t find in all these years of hunting. I did find the black one but it was used and in poor shape so didn’t fit my criteria. Poor Mr Moto. Yeah he’s funny in robot mode, but very cool in alt mode as a three wheeler. Yeah I feel I could sell off everything else in my collection but this set just due to the time spent on hunting these down. Plus it’s a nice compact collection to have that only take up 2 of my Cabinets. Small foot print is always good when you’re a collector. 👍 I uploaded in 4K but youtube is not showing the 4K option. Maybe it takes time for them to still process. Wanted it to be my first 4K video oh well. I’ll check it tomorrow to see if the resolution options change. 👍
georgeowain my goal for this set was to collect numbers 1-72 of the retail set you would buy at Toys r us, Kaybee toys places like that. You are 100% correct not only is there a green repaint of twinspin, there are so many other repaints as well. Plus the machine robo line has so many additional figures that never made it to North America. After almost 5 years of collecting them I’m happy to have what I have as it was a challenge to get to this point. 👍
Thank you for stating their names as you went in front of them. Maybe you could make a part 2 video showing their vehicle modes. Some of them are really neat. I remember most of them but not all. Bad Boy vehicle is awesome. A shame the series never took off. I still remember some of it.
Sorry I missed your comment. Thank you. I know this sounds boring and maybe not fun at all to have this type of collection, but I don't want to transform them as the joints are tight and there is a chance for the die cast to rub against the tight paint and chip off during transformation. It was very hard for me to find all these sealed on card. Many people got mad at me for opening them saying there is one less carded figure of each character out there now. For me I always planned on opening them, but I don't want to "play" with them if that makes any sense. I really just want to keep them behind glass kind of like a museum display.
@@LotusStark That makes sense and is understandable. I didn't know you got them all carded (not sure if that means new or what) but either way I understand. I just figured you were trying to show all the figures that were available and their vehicle modes. The only reason I don't get them is they would just sit around the house and collect dust. Just one more thing to clean. Don't worry about it. Everyone is different. Different is good.
Yeah they were all new sealed on card. I wanted to have the feeling of being a kid and opening them, but also wanted to keep in mind my goal was to have them inside my cabinet on display as an archive of the toy line. Agree we are all different in how we collect, but what is the same is our passion. Have a good one 👍
Great collection, thanks for making this video. Green creepy was a mail away. Just recently I got the machine robo of the 747 that was a Japanese Airways hand out promotion. I use to be a member of gobots.net, I think that’s what it was called, we had a great list of machine robo and gobots with all their color paint variations.
halocollector Thank you 🙏. Yeah you’re right about Green Creepy being a mail away. For me it was hard enough to find all the North American Tonka releases on card. I wouldn’t even think of starting a machine Robo collection if I was looking to complete that line. I feel it would be even harder to obtain than the Tonka line was. I’m very happy with how the collection looks and even though it took years to complete it was worth it. 👍
Whaaaa?! I had no idea there was this many, or probably more, of them made over the years. My mom bought some of them for me when i was a kid and i swear i had Leader-1 and WaterWalker and Cop-tor but i cannot find them in my boxes of robot toys. I still have Turbo and my version of the Rolls Royce car is called TopHat not Tux. I have a knock off version of Dumper also. Thanks for sharing showing all of these. It is always a battle between wanting to leave original or breaking them out and playing with them at least a couple times. Lol I understand about wanting to keep figures MIB, i have most of my Marvel comics figures series' from over years since early 1980s still in boxes and sealed up inside crates, but im afraid the storage trailer has gotten too hot over the years and all my figures have been ruined due to the plastics chemically altering due to the heat. I had loads of sci-fi movie and tv show figures(star wars, star trek,battlestar galactica,buck rogers) also but i let my parents give them away around the time i was in highschool in a phase of mine where i was all about change and getting rid of childhood stuff but not realizing until a few years later that ,damn, all those figures were worth a lot of money to the right people. Lol. Idk, i kept all my various robots collection though, there was a lot more different weird off-brand robot themed toys in the late 80s into the 90s, but the toys were really cool designed. I had some of the "Shogun Warriors" diecast figures, and also wished i had bought some of the first GoLion/Voltron/Diruegger? figures that were released under Voltron's in US. But they were pretty expensive at the time and i never got to get them. I wish i kept all of my Micronauts toy vehicles i had and i never got the Baron Karza i wanted. Lol i did keep my Micronaut figures, the nice ones that didnt break to pieces due to the plastics cracking, like the Acroyear 2 figure. I kept his body parts around to use as spare parts i think for other figures. I still remained into robots for some reason over the years, i guess from reading so much sci-fi books, and the Japanese Anime and sentimentality of old movies. I always wished i could have afforded to buy Macross toys and RoboTech lines of stuff also as they were the ones like the Battleroids? Like the Valkyrie type that i always wanted but they were always too expensive. I did get some of the BattleTech mechs when they came out under that one toy series inthe 80s, itwas a odd blend up of RoboTech enemy characters , BattleTech mechs and the original series titled Exos or something, which featured humans in exoframe mechanical battlesuits.
D. Aardentvarkitage Wow, now this is an excellent comment. For me I had more Gobots than Transformers, but as a kid I didn’t care. I just liked the idea of something changing into a robot. Yeah this collection took me many years to acquire. Early on I thought about keeping them sealed, but midway through collecting I started to open them. Now I never actually played with them, just opened with gloves on and placed in my display. In the end I’m happy I made the decision to open. I’ve gotten many critical comments telling me I shouldn’t have opened them because there are 1 less of each sealed figure on the market now. My reply is I wanted to experience that feeling of opening a fresh figure, but truly appreciating it instead of taking it outside to play in the dirt. I walk by my collection almost everyday and it just brings a smile to my face. Sounds like you collected many different toy lines too and love the idea of curating toys. 👍
Steven LaPierre Yeah so happy to have collected these over the years. Gobots are so underrated. I actually had more Gobots than Transformers back in the day.
Never had a real Gobot as a kid. The closest I came was the knock-off Road Ranger figure that all the street vendors seemed to have back in the mid 80's. Also the fake Laserbeaks and Ravages a.k.a "Cassette Condor" and "Cassette Jaguar"😆😆😆 Great collection and display case. Consider a poster in the background to add to your display. Something Gobot related or with images of space and explosions. That would look pretty great. Thanks for sharing your collection. Jeeper Creeper was always my fav for some reason.
Daganisoraan Thank you. Yeah maybe in the future I will collect the combiners like Puzzler and Monsterous or even the Super Gobots. Just have a passion for all gobots. Congrats on picking up Monsterous. 👍
I have Loco, that has gold stickers/paint on it and with out, also with a red out line on the boiler/head too. 😁 I would always see that one with in the 50¢ machines as a kid. Got 2 now. 😎
A lot of them have great transform sequences, and a lot of them don't. Great die-cast too, and real rubber tires. It's a shame Hanna Barbera gave them such lame characterizations.
Christopher Ford Agree Chris, there are many variants especially in the European Robo Machine run. For me I made a decision to focus on one collection. Collecting the North American set you would find at stores like Toys r us, Walmart, and K-mart is what I set out to do. That’s really what this set is all about. Carded Numbers 1-72. Once I had them all I started to open them up wearing gloves to preserve them as a museum style Collection never to be Transformer, just appreciated as they were in robot mode. I think you should do a video of your carded European Robo Machine or any Gobots for that matter. There are so many different ones it’s mind blowing actually. I’d love to collect them all, but it’s just too much at this point so I have to be happy with what I have. 👍
Lotus Stark Absolutely! As you can probably tell, I’m in the UK. Great to see these out of their packaging. I know some people would have a fit about it, but they were meant to be taken out!!! I collected all mine some years ago when they were reasonably cheap. I was surprised just how much they have shot up in value!!! Great stuff! I also have a small collection of M.a.s.k toys too. All brand new!
Christopher Ford very cool Chris. Yeah I did have some people that weren’t too happy with me removing them from the packages. For me that was always the plan anyways. Well if you ever do decide to make a video of your sealed Euro collection I’d like to see it. I’m sure others would appreciate it too. Well nice to meet another Gobot fan. Have a good one 👍
Awesome collection 👍 I’m about 12 or so short of the full set myself. Was watching a nice tailpipe on eBay a week ago, bid on it but I got blown out of the water, it went for $169 Australian dollars ($121 US). When I get down to the last couple I might have to just go all in. Do you collect Supers or Rock lords? I’ve got quite a few of those too.
gamerguy5085 Thanks 👍 so I did have a small rock lord and some of the super Gobots and parlay sets, but ended up selling to focus on the main line collection. As for Tail Pile technically I need the black variant, but I wasn’t focusing on variants so as long as I have one of each figure I’m happy. Either way both the red and black versions are super expensive. You’re so close man, keep searching for a deal 👍
Lotus Stark yep sure will keep hunting, unfortunately there’s not a lot local to me in Adelaide South Australia. Of late I’ve been buying a few bulk lots from the US, keep the few I need and put the rest on eBay.
gamerguy5085 I know it’s tough to wait, but eventually you’ll find the ones you need. I searched multiple times a day for the word Gobots. Keep the faith man. 👍
In the UK comic; Robo Machine, the five primary Renegades of volume one were the first five figures in your introduction. Starting with Cy-Kil and ending with Loco, their introductions were in that order too. Though Tank and Cy-Kil did first appear in the same frame together.
Thank you, very interesting. I never read any comics surrounding the Gobots. What’s funny is I never watched the cartoon either. For me I was watching the Transformers cartoon , but would always get Gobots to play with. I considered Gobots to be Transformers. 👍
Thanks. I was just taking them out of the package and leaving them the way they were except for moving the arm to the down position . Really wanted to keep them in as mint condition as possible. This set won’t ever be transformed. Basically just a museum display. 👍
X Prime I don’t have the command center. My goal was to only collect sealed carded Gobots from the North American Tonka series numbers 1-72. It took me many years to do that and create the display I have today. I didn’t want to collect anything else Gobots related such as command center or renegade base or even Super Gobots. I’m very happy to have collected what I have. 👍
Kenstagram Unfortunately I don’t. This set took me years to complete. The idea and goal for me was to have a mint Gobots collection from 1-72. Transforming them would “loosen” joints and no longer be in a minty new condition. Believe me it’s hard to not pull them out and play with them. So what I did was open them all wearing gloves and placed in a dust free cabinet exactly as they came out of the package. The only thing I moved was changing the position of the arm slowly to the down position. I’m not sure, but I may be the only person who has a newly opened set from 1-72 that have not been transformed but nicely currated on display like a museum. Many Gobots collectors keep them sealed on card and won’t open them. When I opened them, had some people comment I shouldn’t have. Hope this helps explain why I did what I did. 👍
Kenstagram truthfully I don’t think I will. Right now I’m working on rebuilding animatronic robots from ShowBiz pizza place which was around in the 80s. I have a ton of restoration work to finish. My Gobots collection is very important to me as I had more Gobots than I did Transformers. I’m very content in just walking by the display and enjoying seeing them all lined up. I feel if I made a video of each of them, people would complain that I’m not transforming them and not understand why. I’ve had many loose Gobots in the past that I’ve fiddled with, but sold them all. You really have to experience opening a new one and feel how stiff the joints are and ask yourself is it worth it to mess around transforming this figure and ruin the feeling of it being new or just buy a cheap loose one to play around with instead. I’ve collected toys for so long that I’m in a phase of just curating at this point. It sounds sad , but I feel it’s just part of my collecting journey. 👍
Charlie Young My collection is only based on the North American carded 3” tall GoBots from number 1 through 72 as indicated on each figures card. I did at one time collect Super Gobots and Rock lords, but stopped collecting them to focus on the main line 3” tall set. 👍
Hello again, Lotus Stark! I recently bought two carded Night Rangers. I opened the one with the most battered card and kept the other one sealed. On the opened Night Ranger, it seems almost impossible to keep his front wheel (in vehicle mode) in the right place! I always end up cramming the wheel into the cavity between the metal foot-plates, but then the wheel doesn't turn. Are they all like this, is it just mine, or am I doing something wrong? I hope you can help!
Hey, congrats on picking up a couple sealed figures. I had a lot of fun opening the cards. So nice to have a minty fresh Gobot. My collection is still on the shelf in robot mode. I basically took them out of package and placed them on the shelf inside the cabinet. I won’t be transforming them so unfortunately I can’t help. Night ranger is a popular Gobot so maybe there’s a video out there somewhere showing the transformation. 👍
Thanks, yeah bought some at shows, most on eBay throughout a span of 5 years. Still have the collection on display. Very happy I went down the rabbit hole of collecting them.
My crasher has a totally different face then your two figures there. Mine almost has rugged truck style tires & sticker that are not on your figures. The legs on my figure are not metal there plastic & it appears to be unbranded. I’m pretty sure it’s not a bootleg because I bought it new when I was a kid. DA-20
Unfortunately no. This set is from number 1-72 which is only what was sold in North America. I collected one of each numberd figure. I didn’t consider a color variant that was not a different manufacturer number to be a different figure so I have one of each Gobot numbered from 1-72. There are so many more Gobots. You can collect Super Gobots, and then you have gift sets like Monsterous and Puzzler. Then there is a huge amount of Bandai Japan Gobots. For me I just had to make a goal many years ago to start collecting the carded NA ones and that was hard enough. I feel I had more Gobots than Transformers so I have a passion for them. 👍
@@LotusStark Go Bots are the Genesis of sentient robots. A concept created by Popy and stolen by Takara Tomy. These are the true originals conceived in the 70's and brought to store shelves in 1982. They will forever have my respect.
Collected for about 5 years. Paid eBay scalper prices for some. All were sealed on card and I opened them to form the collection. I used gloves when opening them so my hands didn’t touch the paint or chrome. They are still in the same cabinet you see in the video. Never transformed. Thanks 👍
Thank you. It took many years to collect them. There were times where I thought of tapping out due to how expensive some of them were. I’m glad I stuck with it. 👍
@@LotusStark I was buying Gobots moc a few years ago for $25 to $45 quite often. Now it seams like everyone sells for over $100 moc. Hell, I bought Stacks with trailer mint in box that was in pristine condition for $40 about 5 years ago. Can't find any deal like that these days.
yeah. most had better more articulate transformations as well. i dont get the hate... i prefer the small gobots over the minibots any day... transformers were only better when it came to their bigger bots vs super gobots.
super belle collection
Très belle collection
quel plaisir de les revoirs
Everyone is entitled to whatever they want to do, keep a collection sealed or opening them, for me as a collector it's much more satisfying to hold a collection in your hands play with it a little before you set it up for display, just reminding you of the good old days of when you played a toy as a kid, or if it's a toy you never had and finally as an adult you have it and by curiosity you want to open and touch the toy and feeling that nostalgia is something that truelly brings up a nostalgic value more than just keeping a toy sealed for the sake of "Value"...
If a toy means something to you the value is already high regardless if it's sealed or not so props to you for opening them I can sense a satisfaction In you to opening these toys and probably bringing you back to nostalgia of the 80s...
Such a underrated comment
Love this! Did you keep the cardbacks? I keep mine on my new toy purchases and slice off the bubbles. I file them in a storage bin.
Be careful dumping that package bro !! Scooter was my fav !!!! Gen x baby
Great memories of my friends having Scooter, Leader 1, and Cy kil. I remember trying to buy Pincher in August 1985, but my dad bought me the Transformers Huffer instead.
I did have a watch that was a grey mini version of Scooter.
Absolutely beautiful collection! Gobots are my passion as well and I have most of them but not in such great condition. You make me wanna buy them all mint in package. Wow! Thanks. Great video.
Creepy Coon thanks, it’s been a long journey to collect them. Opening the cards was fun and just makes you feel like a kid in a candy store. 👍
I really enjoyed this video! Thank you for sharing this. It's awesome! I have a renewed appreciation for these figures since I recently obtained all the episodes on DVD. I have very fond childhood memories of that show and my GoBot figures. I am 47 but still a kid at heart. Thanks again!
TODD M Thank you, yeah I don’t remember too much of the cartoon since I watched Transformers, but actually had more Gobots as a kid than Transformers. Always loved the quirky names of each character too.
Have a good one 👍
Your collection is IMPRESSIVE! I'm a Transformers fan too, but I've seen every movie and episode of every series a hundred times over so GoBots is a nice change of pace. You are very fortunate to have such a collection. I envy you. Take care.
TODD M Thanks again. This collection took me almost 5 years to complete. I was looking for sealed but didn’t care how the card looked since I knew I was going to open them. Goal was just to have a new mint collection that I can experience opening each figure and get that sense of being a kid again.
I’ve had some feedback when I originally put out the video of people not liking me opening vintage figures. I’m still happy I did open them and when Im having a bad day I just walk past the display it just makes me feel good.
Well very cool to meet another Gobots fan. 👍
I can imagine it took a lot of time, money, and effort to complete your collection. Your hard work paid off, my friend. You should be proud. I don't know you, but I certainly am proud of your collection. There's nothing wrong with opening the figures. It's neither their concern nor decision. It's cool to meet another GoBots fan, too. If you lived closer, we'd have a marathon.
Very awesome. Mad respect to you my friend.
Thank you 👍
Dude, that is one very special collection you have right there. Wow. I am in awe of this effort. Never sell it.
Really wished I kept mines , I was hooked on Go bots growing up and then the Transformers came along. Nice collection enjoy them
Same here!!! I just did a stop motion clip with my Go Bots
There is also a solid orange Spoons.
Awesome collection.
Thank you
Truly a real nice collection and a job well done collecting them. I used to have most of them plus the Super Gobots as well. Looks like you still need a Puzzler set.
Otto Tarnowske Thanks man. So I did have Monsterous , Puzzler , and some of the Super Gobots when I started collecting. I decided to focus on Only the 3” carded ones numbers 1-72. This way it kept me on track. Plus they are all the same size and come together as a nice collection whearas Puzzler was a larger scale about 4.5” tall for each robot so it was like a deluxe transformer verse a legends transformer scale.
Thanks for watching. It has been fun and stressful at the same time building this collection. 👍
That is incredible seeing all of those go bots in mint condition . Congrats on finishing the complete collection.
Rock Mastrangelo Awe thanks Rock. It’s a very satisfying collection to look at. Plus the journey to get to this point as well.
👍
I'm one of those who saw your carded Gobots full of amazement and then suddenly had a heart attack after you opened it....
Great collection! Thanks for sharing that’s the first time I’ve seen them all!
👍
Amazing journey Man ..
I love the Gobots. Even as an adult I still do.
This is amazing. I'm a big Gobots fan, loved the toys and cartoon as a kid, and I still have all my original Gobots.... didn't get the whole collection, missing a few from the last line released... and of course Snoop and Tail Pipe (jealous!). So cool to see your collection!!
Mister 80 Retro It has been a long journey to get to this point. Some of them towards the end I paid a little too much for just to complete the set. Technically I still need the Black variant of Tail-pipe, but I told myself that I wasn’t collecting variants. I feel fortunate to get one of them.
Thanks for the complement. It brings me joy to see the collection everyday.
👍
What a beautiful collection ! Congratulation and long life to the Gobots :)
Do you collect Super Gobots too ?
Monsieur Toys Thank you. It had taken many years to find them all.
Collecting 1-72 on card was a challenge for me to find them throughout the years. I never started a Super Gobots collection. Sometimes it’s all about focus that gets you to the end. 👍
I love the Gobots. Those types of videos bring me back to my carefree childhood.
Hey man if you're happy!!!
I love this video. I often use it as a guide.
Thanks!!!!
Daniel Boyer Very cool, yeah I walk by the collection almost everyday. 👍
@@LotusStark yeah I hear that!!
I would too.
My vision was for an anime series/movies collection .Older the better! Now I've got my great wall of anime...which my wife laughs at🤣
@@LotusStark I'm also on the hunt for a Leader 1 variant now. I have 3 cykill variants but only one leader 1.
Daniel Boyer yeah that’s one thing I didn’t do is go after all the variants. I focused on just the NA set. Just card back numbers 1-72. That was hard enough for me.
There are so many repaints and different Gobots in the machine robo line.
Same for the super Gobots, Maybe that would be the neat set I put together.
👍
@@LotusStark what about the rock lords? Is that considered part of the go bot collection?
I had a few of these when I was a kid " pumper and dumper 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆" one thing for sure at least they were easy to transform not so complicated like the transformers were you almost need a book to look at
Yeah I feel there is just something special about the Gobots. They never got the publicity as the Transformers did. Like you said , very simple to transform too. I’m still happy to have collected this set. 👍
That is excellent.
Absolutely fantastic, aswell as Transformers I collect Gobots and I really enjoyed watching this video, great job bud.
Awe man, thanks 🙏. Yeah this collection was my favorite to hunt / collect throughout the years.
I remember buying pocket-money Robo Machines (GoBots) back in 1983 before the cartoon premiered! In 1984, my first Transformer was Huffer, and he was my favourite. It seems that Transformers killed him off..., but GoBots brought him back... as Road Ranger!
I'm a GoBot now! *;-)*
Thanks for the great video! I keep rewatching it!
peppermint oil capsule Great memories. 👍
@@LotusStark They certainly are! A fellow has posted a clip of Road Ranger, you can see him here; ruclips.net/video/I2j2EE6ZtxE/видео.html
I recently picked up the GoBots TV series on DVD and it's really reminded me of my childhood and reawakened my passion for GoBots!
peppermint oil capsule Yeah GoBots Road ranger looks a little different, than the black as red Dia clone pre Transformer Of him. Always fun to look back in history.
I had more Gobots than Transformers but didn’t watch the Gobots cartoon. I watched Transformers instead.
@@LotusStark I'm fortunate enough to have both the GoBots and Transformers versions of Road Ranger. When I bought that e-Hobby GoBots boxed-set circa 2004, I had no idea it would become so sought after! I grew up with both cartoons.... I'm glad the continuities are merged now, as it gives me back (a version of) Huffer again. *"GoBots, Roll-Out!"*
Thank you for taking me back to the 80s.
hasslerism You’re welcome. It has been fun collecting these guys throughout the years. 👍
Open each gobot was a great thing. They are part of your life and you'll keep them for youlself. Therefore, your're the one who have to enjoy that! I love Dive Dive and Wrong Way! I still keep some flashbacks in my mind when I see them!
Salvador García Labarta Thank you. It’s a great feeling to have a collection like this. Plus like you said opening them all up and having the feeling of being a kid again.
Dive dive and wrong way are are both awesome. The names for each character is the best. I mean dive dive for a submarine.
👍
I am totally jealous of this collection. As a kid I would've loved to have all of those in my possessions.
Beautiful collection. I like loose toys...helps you appreciate the figure more
fatherdolli Thank you, I agree it was so much fun opening each Gobot and putting them on display in my cabinet. I still have them setup the same and it just makes me feel like a kid again when i look at them. 👍
I bet it felt great to be able to put their left arm down after all those years
fatherdolli yeah I never understood why they were all packaged that way.
I guess it kind of looked like they were saying hey look at me I’m here, buy me. 😀
How about the Rock Lords?
The best part about this collection is how the interpretation of robot towards the end gets a little sloppy lol I had a ton of these as a kid in the mid 80s and played with them non stop
Wow great collection..all such great shape..i love the display..i wouldve done the same thing..Open them ! Lol i had like 3 of these growing up..we couldnt afford tranformers lol..Hey..was Copter white on top? I believe i had him..but i swear mine was alot of white and blue..with a bubble orange yellow window cockpit...cool video..took me back in time. I had nomidea thye made this many diff one..Now i want some of them again..where did you find those on cards..wow.
great collection. thanks for sharing.
Thank you 🙏
#58 Bugsy. I used to have this brown version as a kid.I think the red color one you have is the rare version or is it the Machine Robo released?
Love ya and I appreciate it but if you did a single video for each and got them in full shot with transformations you would have a thing also read the back of the box. Lots of views for this.
chesco Thanks. The truth is it took me years to collect sealed figures. The goal was to create a museum quality display. I opened up all the Gobots to put them on display behind glass, but have no intention of transforming them. I would like to keep all their joints as tight and crisp as they are fresh out of the package.
I make zero money from RUclips views and even if I did, it wouldn’t be worth it to me to transform them. Too many years of hunting. I just want to appreciate them as a North American retail set behind glass. Every time I walk buy them it just takes me back to a similar time in life.
Thanks again for your comment, have a great rest of your week man. 👍
I love your collection.
Thank you. 👍
I didn't realize that there were so many!
Yeah this is only the North American line sold under the Tonka brand. There are so many more under the Bandai , Machine Robo brand. 👍
Cool collection. Blockhead and Crain brain’s arms extend out...if you didn’t already know.
I have a nice collection too. All mine are in the collectors cases. I lost count of how many of those collectors cases I have.
The hard figures for me to get (either hard to find or extremely expensive) was: Tail Pipe, Ace, Bullseye, Sky Jack, (these next few were hard to get and they were never released in the gobots toyline but they were in the machine robo line. They were later added to a gobots/transformers comic under these names) Jack Attack, Decker Decker, Apollo, (the next two were never part of the gobots line nor part of a gobots comic and they were never giving a gobot name but since they were machine robo, I got them) Jumbo Jet, Three Wheel Buggie, (the last few were just different colored version of a few characters, most likely knock offs) Green Twin Spin, Blue Street Heat, Green Gynner. I’m probably missing a few that was hard for me to get but that’s what I can remember.
Blue Jay I was trying to do as little as possible to move any of the limbs beside moving the left arm from upright position to a lower position after I remove from the card.
The collection for me is just to preserve a mint collection that is out of the package but not played with or transformed with the exception of moving the arm down.
As for Tail pipe he was released in the Gobots line on card in red which is the one I have and black which I think is harder to find than the red. Both versions will cost a lot in the hundreds of dollars range if you’re looking for sealed on card.
Ace, skyjack Bullseye were also released on card in the Gobots line as well. Out of the three Bullseye will be the most expensive followed by skyjack followed by ace.
This has been close to 5 years of collecting them to make a set meaning I have at least one representation of carded numbers 1-72 which I have opened to display. There are color variants which I didn’t concern myself with as long as I had one of them. Like you said it’s hard enough to have 1 tailpipe let alone both color variants.
I’m working on a custom case for them as well. The case I have them in now is weather strip sealed and works well.
I’m not sure how many people have a full numbered mint set maybe just you and I not sure. I’m just happy to have one of them.
I don’t read the comics, or was a big fan of the cartoon, but had more Gobots than I did Transformers so they mean a lot to me.
Thanks for the comment and it’s cool to meet another Gobots fan 👍
It's your collection. Do what you want with them. I love your collection.
I'm in Australia, where they were known as Machine Men. #71; Gunnyr was green here... I know, cos he was one of the figures I had.... =)
👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 !!!
Cool!
This is an absolutely amazing display. I wish you had done all the unboxings on camera but completely understand why you didn’t. Some of the monsters and insects are very strange looking and are not ones that I have ever soon before. Number 64 Mr. Moto also leaves a lot to be desired in robot mode but again this is my first time seeing him. I love this display. Thanks for sharing. I’ve enjoyed every bit of your Gobots journey that you shared with us. Please keep me in mind if you ever decide to part with the set...LOL. Cheers M
Transformers and Video Games Thanks M, yeah I just figured now is the time to open the rest and be done with it. Plus it is nice to see them all lined up next to each other.
Number 57 Tail Pipe was the most expensive costing me 300$ technically there is a black variant of him I don’t have and can’t find in all these years of hunting. I did find the black one but it was used and in poor shape so didn’t fit my criteria.
Poor Mr Moto. Yeah he’s funny in robot mode, but very cool in alt mode as a three wheeler.
Yeah I feel I could sell off everything else in my collection but this set just due to the time spent on hunting these down. Plus it’s a nice compact collection to have that only take up 2 of my Cabinets. Small foot print is always good when you’re a collector. 👍
I uploaded in 4K but youtube is not showing the 4K option. Maybe it takes time for them to still process. Wanted it to be my first 4K video oh well. I’ll check it tomorrow to see if the resolution options change.
👍
Waahh!!... I want one!!
Thanks, took me a long time to complete this collection. 👍
Great collection of Gobots, thanks for going over each one. As a kid, I had Cykill, Fightor, SpaceC, Dozer, Spoiler, Jeeper, Pathfinder.
There may be another you could add to your collection. in the original Europe line, Twin Spin was moulded in green and given the name Carry-All.
georgeowain my goal for this set was to collect numbers 1-72 of the retail set you would buy at Toys r us, Kaybee toys places like that.
You are 100% correct not only is there a green repaint of twinspin, there are so many other repaints as well. Plus the machine robo line has so many additional figures that never made it to North America.
After almost 5 years of collecting them I’m happy to have what I have as it was a challenge to get to this point.
👍
That’s crazy so hard to get this days
Excellent collection of bots. Love them.
Thank you for stating their names as you went in front of them. Maybe you could make a part 2 video showing their vehicle modes. Some of them are really neat. I remember most of them but not all. Bad Boy vehicle is awesome. A shame the series never took off. I still remember some of it.
Sorry I missed your comment. Thank you. I know this sounds boring and maybe not fun at all to have this type of collection, but I don't want to transform them as the joints are tight and there is a chance for the die cast to rub against the tight paint and chip off during transformation.
It was very hard for me to find all these sealed on card. Many people got mad at me for opening them saying there is one less carded figure of each character out there now.
For me I always planned on opening them, but I don't want to "play" with them if that makes any sense. I really just want to keep them behind glass kind of like a museum display.
@@LotusStark That makes sense and is understandable. I didn't know you got them all carded (not sure if that means new or what) but either way I understand. I just figured you were trying to show all the figures that were available and their vehicle modes. The only reason I don't get them is they would just sit around the house and collect dust. Just one more thing to clean. Don't worry about it. Everyone is different. Different is good.
Yeah they were all new sealed on card. I wanted to have the feeling of being a kid and opening them, but also wanted to keep in mind my goal was to have them inside my cabinet on display as an archive of the toy line.
Agree we are all different in how we collect, but what is the same is our passion.
Have a good one 👍
Great collection, thanks for making this video. Green creepy was a mail away. Just recently I got the machine robo of the 747 that was a Japanese Airways hand out promotion. I use to be a member of gobots.net, I think that’s what it was called, we had a great list of machine robo and gobots with all their color paint variations.
halocollector Thank you 🙏. Yeah you’re right about Green Creepy being a mail away.
For me it was hard enough to find all the North American Tonka releases on card. I wouldn’t even think of starting a machine Robo collection if I was looking to complete that line. I feel it would be even harder to obtain than the Tonka line was.
I’m very happy with how the collection looks and even though it took years to complete it was worth it. 👍
Congrats
C Neves Thank you. It’s been a long journey to get to this point. 👍
Whaaaa?! I had no idea there was this many, or probably more, of them made over the years.
My mom bought some of them for me when i was a kid and i swear i had Leader-1 and WaterWalker and Cop-tor but i cannot find them in my boxes of robot toys.
I still have Turbo and my version of the Rolls Royce car is called TopHat not Tux. I have a knock off version of Dumper also.
Thanks for sharing showing all of these. It is always a battle between wanting to leave original or breaking them out and playing with them at least a couple times. Lol
I understand about wanting to keep figures MIB, i have most of my Marvel comics figures series' from over years since early 1980s still in boxes and sealed up inside crates, but im afraid the storage trailer has gotten too hot over the years and all my figures have been ruined due to the plastics chemically altering due to the heat.
I had loads of sci-fi movie and tv show figures(star wars, star trek,battlestar galactica,buck rogers) also but i let my parents give them away around the time i was in highschool in a phase of mine where i was all about change and getting rid of childhood stuff but not realizing until a few years later that ,damn, all those figures were worth a lot of money to the right people. Lol.
Idk, i kept all my various robots collection though, there was a lot more different weird off-brand robot themed toys in the late 80s into the 90s, but the toys were really cool designed.
I had some of the "Shogun Warriors" diecast figures, and also wished i had bought some of the first GoLion/Voltron/Diruegger? figures that were released under Voltron's in US. But they were pretty expensive at the time and i never got to get them.
I wish i kept all of my Micronauts toy vehicles i had and i never got the Baron Karza i wanted. Lol i did keep my Micronaut figures, the nice ones that didnt break to pieces due to the plastics cracking, like the Acroyear 2 figure. I kept his body parts around to use as spare parts i think for other figures.
I still remained into robots for some reason over the years, i guess from reading so much sci-fi books, and the Japanese Anime and sentimentality of old movies.
I always wished i could have afforded to buy Macross toys and RoboTech lines of stuff also as they were the ones like the Battleroids? Like the Valkyrie type that i always wanted but they were always too expensive. I did get some of the BattleTech mechs when they came out under that one toy series inthe 80s, itwas a odd blend up of RoboTech enemy characters , BattleTech mechs and the original series titled Exos or something, which featured humans in exoframe mechanical battlesuits.
D. Aardentvarkitage Wow, now this is an excellent comment.
For me I had more Gobots than Transformers, but as a kid I didn’t care. I just liked the idea of something changing into a robot.
Yeah this collection took me many years to acquire. Early on I thought about keeping them sealed, but midway through collecting I started to open them. Now I never actually played with them, just opened with gloves on and placed in my display. In the end I’m happy I made the decision to open. I’ve gotten many critical comments telling me I shouldn’t have opened them because there are 1 less of each sealed figure on the market now. My reply is I wanted to experience that feeling of opening a fresh figure, but truly appreciating it instead of taking it outside to play in the dirt. I walk by my collection almost everyday and it just brings a smile to my face. Sounds like you collected many different toy lines too and love the idea of curating toys.
👍
This was awesome. Good on you for following through on opening all of them.
zeldadlez1 Thank you, yeah it was fun. Felt like a little kid in a candy store. 👍
Amazing, I’m so jelly
Steven LaPierre Yeah so happy to have collected these over the years. Gobots are so underrated. I actually had more Gobots than Transformers back in the day.
Never had a real Gobot as a kid. The closest I came was the knock-off Road Ranger figure that all the street vendors seemed to have back in the mid 80's. Also the fake Laserbeaks and Ravages a.k.a "Cassette Condor" and "Cassette Jaguar"😆😆😆
Great collection and display case. Consider a poster in the background to add to your display. Something Gobot related or with images of space and explosions. That would look pretty great. Thanks for sharing your collection. Jeeper Creeper was always my fav for some reason.
Bro how were you able to get all of these?!
Nice collection. Had Twinspin, Vamp and some bigger Gobots back in the day. Just got my hand on a beautiful Monsterous.
Daganisoraan Thank you. Yeah maybe in the future I will collect the combiners like Puzzler and Monsterous or even the Super Gobots. Just have a passion for all gobots.
Congrats on picking up Monsterous. 👍
I have Loco, that has gold stickers/paint on it and with out, also with a red out line on the boiler/head too. 😁 I would always see that one with in the 50¢ machines as a kid. Got 2 now. 😎
Awesome
Man how can I get those
A lot of them have great transform sequences, and a lot of them don't. Great die-cast too, and real rubber tires. It's a shame Hanna Barbera gave them such lame characterizations.
There’s another variant of Slicks too! 👍
I’m thinking of doing a video of all my carded Robo Machines/Gobots now. 😀
Christopher Ford Agree Chris, there are many variants especially in the European Robo Machine run. For me I made a decision to focus on one collection. Collecting the North American set you would find at stores like Toys r us, Walmart, and K-mart is what I set out to do. That’s really what this set is all about. Carded Numbers 1-72. Once I had them all I started to open them up wearing gloves to preserve them as a museum style Collection never to be Transformer, just appreciated as they were in robot mode.
I think you should do a video of your carded European Robo Machine or any Gobots for that matter. There are so many different ones it’s mind blowing actually. I’d love to collect them all, but it’s just too much at this point so I have to be happy with what I have.
👍
Lotus Stark Absolutely! As you can probably tell, I’m in the UK.
Great to see these out of their packaging. I know some people would have a fit about it, but they were meant to be taken out!!!
I collected all mine some years ago when they were reasonably cheap. I was surprised just how much they have shot up in value!!! Great stuff!
I also have a small collection of M.a.s.k toys too. All brand new!
Christopher Ford very cool Chris. Yeah I did have some people that weren’t too happy with me removing them from the packages. For me that was always the plan anyways.
Well if you ever do decide to make a video of your sealed Euro collection I’d like to see it. I’m sure others would appreciate it too.
Well nice to meet another Gobot fan. Have a good one 👍
Awesome collection 👍
I’m about 12 or so short of the full set myself. Was watching a nice tailpipe on eBay a week ago, bid on it but I got blown out of the water, it went for $169 Australian dollars ($121 US). When I get down to the last couple I might have to just go all in.
Do you collect Supers or Rock lords? I’ve got quite a few of those too.
gamerguy5085 Thanks 👍 so I did have a small rock lord and some of the super Gobots and parlay sets, but ended up selling to focus on the main line collection.
As for Tail Pile technically I need the black variant, but I wasn’t focusing on variants so as long as I have one of each figure I’m happy. Either way both the red and black versions are super expensive.
You’re so close man, keep searching for a deal 👍
Lotus Stark yep sure will keep hunting, unfortunately there’s not a lot local to me in Adelaide South Australia. Of late I’ve been buying a few bulk lots from the US, keep the few I need and put the rest on eBay.
gamerguy5085 I know it’s tough to wait, but eventually you’ll find the ones you need. I searched multiple times a day for the word Gobots. Keep the faith man. 👍
Increíble. Fueron mi juguete preferido. No me quedó ninguno de chico, y quisiera recuperarlos todos para mostrarle a mis hijos. Una pena
In the UK comic; Robo Machine, the five primary Renegades of volume one were the first five figures in your introduction. Starting with Cy-Kil and ending with Loco, their introductions were in that order too.
Though Tank and Cy-Kil did first appear in the same frame together.
Thank you, very interesting. I never read any comics surrounding the Gobots. What’s funny is I never watched the cartoon either. For me I was watching the Transformers cartoon , but would always get Gobots to play with. I considered Gobots to be Transformers. 👍
You can extend skyjacks legs so he stands as tall as the rest of them
Thanks. I was just taking them out of the package and leaving them the way they were except for moving the arm to the down position . Really wanted to keep them in as mint condition as possible. This set won’t ever be transformed. Basically just a museum display. 👍
my good ness. i was a toddler when i had Dozer and Road Ranger
Your missing the white version of Night Ranger. He is one of the few I have left of my gobots.
Mrhellzya hello, my collection is based on the North American Gobots. The White Ranger is color variant is actually from the Machine robo line.
👍
I just found this video nice collection
X Prime Thank you, it’s been a long journey to get to this point. 👍
@@LotusStark do you have the base also
@@LotusStark the command center do you have it
X Prime I don’t have the command center. My goal was to only collect sealed carded Gobots from the North American Tonka series numbers 1-72. It took me many years to do that and create the display I have today.
I didn’t want to collect anything else Gobots related such as command center or renegade base or even Super Gobots.
I’m very happy to have collected what I have. 👍
@@LotusStark get in touch with me my instagram is xavierprime1 I also am a collector
Do you have a video in their vehicle form? That would be a good follow up to this. 👍🏻
Kenstagram Unfortunately I don’t. This set took me years to complete. The idea and goal for me was to have a mint Gobots collection from 1-72. Transforming them would “loosen” joints and no longer be in a minty new condition. Believe me it’s hard to not pull them out and play with them.
So what I did was open them all wearing gloves and placed in a dust free cabinet exactly as they came out of the package. The only thing I moved was changing the position of the arm slowly to the down position.
I’m not sure, but I may be the only person who has a newly opened set from 1-72 that have not been transformed but nicely currated on display like a museum. Many Gobots collectors keep them sealed on card and won’t open them. When I opened them, had some people comment I shouldn’t have.
Hope this helps explain why I did what I did. 👍
Lotus Stark I understand.
Lotus Stark will you do an individual review on each? Or atleast the ones who came out in the show. That would be awesome 👍🏻
Kenstagram truthfully I don’t think I will. Right now I’m working on rebuilding animatronic robots from ShowBiz pizza place which was around in the 80s. I have a ton of restoration work to finish.
My Gobots collection is very important to me as I had more Gobots than I did Transformers. I’m very content in just walking by the display and enjoying seeing them all lined up.
I feel if I made a video of each of them, people would complain that I’m not transforming them and not understand why.
I’ve had many loose Gobots in the past that I’ve fiddled with, but sold them all. You really have to experience opening a new one and feel how stiff the joints are and ask yourself is it worth it to mess around transforming this figure and ruin the feeling of it being new or just buy a cheap loose one to play around with instead.
I’ve collected toys for so long that I’m in a phase of just curating at this point. It sounds sad , but I feel it’s just part of my collecting journey. 👍
Lotus Stark I perfectly understand. Goodluck with your future projects 👍🏻
Super
GoBOTS F
While this is a nice collection, where are the Super GoBots?
Charlie Young My collection is only based on the North American carded 3” tall GoBots from number 1 through 72 as indicated on each figures card.
I did at one time collect Super Gobots and Rock lords, but stopped collecting them to focus on the main line 3” tall set.
👍
Ah, I see.
Hello again, Lotus Stark!
I recently bought two carded Night Rangers. I opened the one with the most battered card and kept the other one sealed. On the opened Night Ranger, it seems almost impossible to keep his front wheel (in vehicle mode) in the right place! I always end up cramming the wheel into the cavity between the metal foot-plates, but then the wheel doesn't turn. Are they all like this, is it just mine, or am I doing something wrong? I hope you can help!
Hey, congrats on picking up a couple sealed figures. I had a lot of fun opening the cards. So nice to have a minty fresh Gobot.
My collection is still on the shelf in robot mode. I basically took them out of package and placed them on the shelf inside the cabinet. I won’t be transforming them so unfortunately I can’t help. Night ranger is a popular Gobot so maybe there’s a video out there somewhere showing the transformation. 👍
Okay, cool. Happy New Year by the way!
@@peppermintspacecapsule9898 Have a happy new year as well, thank you 👍
Looks like you really went out of your way to get nice condition ones; you simply got these off Ebay right?
Thanks, yeah bought some at shows, most on eBay throughout a span of 5 years. Still have the collection on display. Very happy I went down the rabbit hole of collecting them.
Please do all 72 in vehicle mode
My crasher has a totally different face then your two figures there. Mine almost has rugged truck style tires & sticker that are not on your figures. The legs on my figure are not metal there plastic & it appears to be unbranded. I’m pretty sure it’s not a bootleg because I bought it new when I was a kid. DA-20
Steven LaPierre Very interesting. Maybe it’s another variant of the figure. 👍
I just want 10 of them
He’s not just gonna give them to you there, rare
It's that all go bots ever made? Are you missing any
Unfortunately no. This set is from number 1-72 which is only what was sold in North America. I collected one of each numberd figure. I didn’t consider a color variant that was not a different manufacturer number to be a different figure so I have one of each Gobot numbered from 1-72.
There are so many more Gobots. You can collect Super Gobots, and then you have gift sets like Monsterous and Puzzler. Then there is a huge amount of Bandai Japan Gobots.
For me I just had to make a goal many years ago to start collecting the carded NA ones and that was hard enough.
I feel I had more Gobots than Transformers so I have a passion for them. 👍
@@LotusStark Go Bots are the Genesis of sentient robots. A concept created by Popy and stolen by Takara Tomy. These are the true originals conceived in the 70's and brought to store shelves in 1982. They will forever have my respect.
@@jasong5127 Agreed 👍
where did you get all of them and in such good condition?
Collected for about 5 years. Paid eBay scalper prices for some. All were sealed on card and I opened them to form the collection. I used gloves when opening them so my hands didn’t touch the paint or chrome. They are still in the same cabinet you see in the video. Never transformed. Thanks 👍
Awesome collection! If you are ever interested in selling the collection. Let me know, I'll make you an offer.
shizu ye Thank you. It took me almost 5 years to build this collection. Now is the time for me to sit back and enjoy it. 👍

Wow!
Kenstagram Thank you , it took many years to collect this set. 👍
Lotus Stark Absolutely worth it.
Thanks 👍
“Adult collector”
Do you collect adults?
Nah I’m kidding that’s a joke, no one collects people.
Unless…
Wouldn't they be worth way more in the packaging?
Some people don't care about value
Do you need the Super Gobots and Puzzler?
I’m happy with what I have at this point. I don’t think I’ll be starting another collection. 👍
I think I am experiencing jealousy for the first time! I hate you... Give me your address!
Awesome collection indeed!
Thank you. It took many years to collect them. There were times where I thought of tapping out due to how expensive some of them were. I’m glad I stuck with it. 👍
@@LotusStark I was buying Gobots moc a few years ago for $25 to $45 quite often. Now it seams like everyone sells for over $100 moc. Hell, I bought Stacks with trailer mint in box that was in pristine condition for $40 about 5 years ago. Can't find any deal like that these days.
@@joshuachristian5443 yeah you won’t find prices like that on MOC Gobots these days. I paid some pretty hefty prices toward the end. 👍
Honestly Gobots looked better than the Transformers minibots
predicon wasspinator yeah they definitely have a more realistic alt mode, most of them could be mistaken for a Hot wheels car or truck.
yeah. most had better more articulate transformations as well. i dont get the hate... i prefer the small gobots over the minibots any day... transformers were only better when it came to their bigger bots vs super gobots.
The silly/lame names they gave them.
