WOOOT, thanks for the comments. I know they are worth more money if they remain in the package, but they you dont get the satisfaction of transforming them. It also aint cheap, lol, I spend some big bucks on ebay, and I always have a nice shopping spree at ToysRus. The most I ever spent at one time was $200. I started it when I was 6. I had not clue I would collect them, but I just loved'em so I kept buying and buying. I got some old ones from the early 80's too.
