Date: December 27th, 2025 10:27 PM Author: Tantric senate macaca My parents were poor and I didn't receive many toys growing up, especially early on. But I was obsessed with Transformers and wanted Optimus Prime more than anything. So my parents scrounged to get him for me -- the only wrapped toy I ever remember receiving, now that I think about it. I remember excitedly tearing open the package to find that what they actually bought me was the brand new Ultra Magnus instead of Optimus Prime. I hadn't even seen the movie. So I started crying, which must have disappointed my dad terribly, who didn't understand it at all. I doubt my dad even earned $250/wk back then, and the toy was $25 (now that I look it up). I remember all of that and feel ashamed every Christmas. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5814676&forum_id=2в#49544057) |

I stayed at his house one week and spent a lot of time with it. However you didn't need to be filthy rich to purchase it. It was $150 off the shelf if I recall. Mostly it was a space issue. It took up a good part of a room. That was sort of my mom's issue with it. She said the box was too large.
