Transformers was awful. Megan Fox however, is very….well….foxy.

I really enjoyed the first movie, I’m looking forward to the second as well. And as for the support group, count me in.

What did you think of the first Transformers movie? I liked it a lot more than I thought I was going to.

Perhaps we should start a support group for adult males who are subconsciously filled with regret over carelessly discarding their action figures.

After moving pretty much once a year since 1994, all of my collectables have been lost, thrown out etc.

Wish I still had all my original Transformers though. I could still have hours of fun playing with them

Great comment, Sean. I had a cardboard Planet of the Apes playhouse which I was given in the mid-70’s sometime. Sounds like you had quite a decent slew of touys yerself. Shame about their untimely demise.

For me it was Planet of the Apes collectibles. I was the same age when PoA came out that you were when Star Wars came on the scene. I had poseable action figures (about 10″ tall) of most of the major characters in the movies.

I also had a passing fascination with the Hasbro line of “Logan’s Run” tie in action figures at around age 9-10 if I recall.

All of it went into the trash when I was maybe 13. I had gone off to Boy Scout Camp for a week and my brother, angry because he couldn’t go too, destroyed most of the toys with a play hammer (back then, they were literally miniaturized actual hammers. Think Andy Dufresne’s rock hammer in “Shawshank”) and a pair of my mom’s sewing shears.

Thus ended my days of collecting things. Just as well. Who know where I’d be now.. mebee alone with my toys up in Canada …blogging.
