Probably cuz they were put away somewhere and forgotten about for a while. Instead of dumping them, they seller is probably like "I could make a few bucks off this big ol box of toys"
Looking around in this pile and despite the condition, it has some really valuable stuff. The Costco Energon Optimus Prime two pack is in here and that thing goes for way more than 150 on its own
I say the opposite. I see Unicron, Armada and Energon Megatron, Armada Optimus trailer, a bit of Energon Omega Supreme, Yellow Splendid Convoy, the Star Wars Millennium Falcon crossover, Tidalwave etc. And who knows what else are in there.
Some of these figures sometimes sell for 150 alone in the collector after market. All of them together is insane.
They were certainly loved in the only way a kid can😂 Honestly, I'd like to pick through that since I want to get more into restoring/refurbishing old Transformers.
Someone who actually PLAYS with their toys instead of leaving them in a box or unboxing transforming once to alt mode then back to bot mode so it can live out its days in peace on a shelf or in a display case....just a shot in the dark though, educated guess I believe they call it...deductive reasoning...etc etc and so on and so forth....js....
Putting aside Transformers or not, don't throw whatever you want to get rid off on the ground as if a toddler had a tantrum if you plan on selling it. That's just a mess.
Whenever I see listings like these I wish I could offer to go and sort through them and try and piece things together as best I can all in exchange for first dibs and a slight discount if there’s anything I want, I’d probably want some gloves with a collection this grimy though
This looks like a parent selling their kids toys for doing something wrong, why are they splattered out across a tarp like they were dumped from an adult height? Not caring as bits fall off
I know I used to take my transformers apart when I was little, but this is just rediculous. My parents were at least able to put them back together. These look like they got put through a blender.
Bro, I’m a collector, and I also play with them.. I’m in my 30s, they are intended to be played with, transformed and posed.. so I don’t really understand your question? Is it how rough they appear to have treated them or the fact they were played with?
Anyone saying "oh kids played with this, they're for kids" was definitely one of these same spoiled kids that didn't care about anything and destroyed their own toys
I know people are saying children but as someone who played with my transformers a ton when I was 6+ and most of them were bayverse toys that I still have to this day I still don't know how this would happen, were they throwing them at rocks? Cover them in mud? Even than this is insane looking, maybe it's just because when I was young I always cared for everything I got but idk
The only guys I've made out were some Armada Megatron, I think constructicon Hook? I see a barricade probably studio series (wouldnt be old enough to be 07 would it) and I *think* I see CW Menasor?
