the figure that got me into colecting was powermaster prime was my most treasured toy as a kid and parents forced me to get rid of it and give it away broke my heart, later when i was older and able to buy off ebay i got the reissue and an original then and mp prime and now i got more tfs than i had when i was a kid, joy joy joy. i have prowl too and he is an awsome figure bluestreak too

@robpeter1 When I finally got hold of Bluestreak i felt even more excitement then when I got Prowl. I know they are the same mold, but I had a friend who had Bluestreak, and I remember wanting it so much. The benefit of being a collector is you are able to satisfy that childhood ambition. Lol

Great video Gerard! Yeah, Hasbro does get a bit cheap with paint apps, don't they? Great figure. This was one of my very first TFs as a kid and I cannot tell you how many times I transformed him. I absolutely love this figure. I must have been one of a few kids who didn't care too much about articulation, lol. Hey, I need to get one of your CDs.

@DoctorPrime ... I can completely understnad where you are coming from Dan. I would have ruined this figure by over playing with it if I had had it. Anytime you are on Skype, come find me. I can send you everything we have recorded so far for free. :)

@WolfKang1 yea i was the same i had neither as a kid but always wanted them tfs were hard to get in the 80s and was always hunting around until they disapeared all together in the 90s g1 that is, and as for bluestreak theres just something about the red silver and black i love it, i recomend the classics one also it rocks, i understand about the childhood thing i embrace mine i think others should its good for you, love your vids man you rock, love to write an album with you, rob

@WolfKang1 awesome wolf!, you never get tired of looking at them on your shelf right next to eachother, funny enough, I got into collecting G1 figures because of the movie, even though I hate the movie figures, I came across a picture of Masterpiece Megatron and I said "I got to get me that one", but the first ever figure I got was MP Prime, the I eventually got me MP Megatron, and it took off from there!, love the shit out of my collection!! LOL

@rick4777 ... I was lucky enough to get both Sunstreaker and Prowl pretty cheap. You're right about Sunstreaker being in high demand. When I was looking to purchase one, I had to really think carefully about how much i wanted to spend on him. Luckily, I got the main robot for only £10. Putting him back together again 100% complete MIB has cost me in the region of about £40 to £45 which is fucking impressive. Glad to hear you managed to pick them up though. They are brilliant for a collection.

@cobaltprime73 ... Thanks. I wanted it to be something I had never owned. And I always loved Prowl in the cartoons and comic, so considering he was going for a decent price I thought "Why not?"

@WolfKang1 I also got me a brand new MISB Hasbro reissue red alert for $43.50 including shipping, I had a KO red alert but I was not too happy with the quality, has some paint splatter around the wheel and the stickers are shit, peeling off the paint job from the figure, also I managed to get me a loose sunstreaker in great condition, but that one cost me $85 with shipping, since some bidders were bidding at the last moment for it, it shows you that figure is in high demand.

@WolfKang1 great review as always Gerard, I got me a Takara reissue Prowl, it was previously opened, it is in fairly good shape except there is a little bit of piant chipping near the rear wheel and also the guy who used to owned it also probably smoked around it, and the top section kinda turned yellow, a bit, but I cant complain since I got it for about less than $30 including shipping, and that is a very good deal considering the Takara ones are more expensive than the Hasbros.
