I mean, argh. About the only person selling ****ing Gobots, and ridiculous start & P+P charges. Grumble arse ****nuts bitch cow. Typical... when I'm after Transformers, you can't move on ebay for Gobots. I start thinking "actually, some Gobots were pretty cool, I think I'll buy a few" and there's either none or nutcases like this.

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!

I have no more to send you. Sorry. Why not start collecting remote control Daleks instead? All the colours of the rainbow...

You need help. A few weeks from now the Mirror will be snaping you in the back of a cap having blown millions on Cy-Kill, grining like a loon playing wiht him whilst flicking through Sweedish porn.

Well, I can console myself to the fact I've just spaffed £8 on a small Gobot by telling myself he's rare. Well, relatively rare. Erm, honest.

Eh, people pay more for Brawn.

Who at least has a legendary Online argument over whether he's dead or not. Royal-T has...?

RAF roundels, a comedy name and is a decent Harrier jump jet. That and a sensible robot mode.

Ooo... she's got Pathfinder up at the moment...

http://tfu.info/Gobots/Guardians/Pathfi ... finder.htm

I dimly recall the character being quite cool, in what passed for Gobots fiction...

Looking at past auctions, the Gobots have been listed before and Pathfinder's cheaper this time around than last, so this may be a trend.

I think I have an unwanted Pathfinder at Swansea. I can check next time I'm there...

Less cutesy fatbot than Cosmos

Ta for the thought, but if I start collecting Gobots I may start regretting getting rid of most years ago...

I might still have a couple of Gobot annuals if you want 'em.

Cheers for the offer, but I'm not really after the media... about half of the toys are very good (or at least very good looking - I think I've often the majority of the smaller ones over the years; thankfully I don't think I did anything daft with any recently), but the cartoon and storybooks deserve the slaughtering they get

Brawn has a comedy name! Look at those weedy little arms and think of the toy being called Brawn and you'll laugh so hard you might do yourself a mischief!

Turned up today. If i was going to spend over the odds on a tiny Gobot, I'm glad it was this one. He's absolutely darling.

More Gobotage:

The box art is rather nice.

Hells yah, but the European packaging on Zeemon is even nicer - absolutely gorgeous stuff. Whenever I get round to getting a camera I'm going to have to get some decent picsesor.

I am currently going through job lots of Transformers on ebay, vainly straining for Gobots chucked carelessly in. How time changes

I'm probably going to change into one of those irritating bastards who emails auction winners saying "Hey, you won a ton of toys! Fancy selling that one on to me?"...

U think you allready need help for this Go-Bot addiction anyway.

Awesomezor! And I actually needed the Sunrunner too... Now, if I could just figure out how to get Zero to stand up...

Actually, anyone else thinks it's odd to see a Japanese WW2 plane in a Japanese toyline? I thought they had major national shame over the whole business (albeit based largely on Warren Ellis comics)...

Another good lot.

I have my eye on that lot of 14 Gobots. Alas so do you and I neither have the money nor the will to bid on it:(

Incidentally have you ever seen "Monsterous" (Yes that’s his name, not monstrous) come up for sale? I'd love get my hands on him not so much for the gestalt but for the individual Gobots. South Claw is a wonderful toy and furthermore would make a fine Sinker kitbash.
