Did your parents throw out your Transformers after you got older? Did you play them until the pieces fell apart. Of course you did. Toys are meant to be played with. As an adult though, we wish we had the presence of mind to save a few of them from being played and destroyed. That’s because today, vintage G1 Transformers are highly sought after by toy collectors on the secondary market. Those that come with packaging boxes are even more rare. Be ready to pony up some real cash for an original Transformers toy.
If you are hunting for an original G1 Transformers character, we recommend the following online stores that can make your childhood dreams come true again. Before you get started, check out some G1 resources, like classic Transformers G1 catalogs and the best Transformers book featuring list of all the G1 figures. You excited yet?
