My only regret is that 90% of /toy/ never experienced the euphoria of playing with Zbots as a teen, let alone knows what they even are.

MiniZ's were the best. The goddamn best. I still have a few, but sadly, lost some to time and moves. Glad you finally opened them, really wish that we still had articulated minis.

The minis were cool and all, but the full sized Zbots were the shit. I actually have a fuckload of them and I have a few doubles I keep at work in my cubicle to this day just to fuck around with at break time lol.

Oh, I had plenty of them too, the one that came with the big bot I treated as Alpha-5 back in the day and I had that weird top-attack playset as well. I think the BK arm-drill guy was a favorite as well, don't remember who all I did have though.

One I wish I did was the brain guy.

So...I take it all things considered putting up these carded gems would only get value if a die hard collector went spastic on ebay and putting these up for bids would get piss all right?

Been considering doing that for a few toys I've had over the years that I had no love but kept in their boxes.

Dat far upper left. I nostalgia'd all over my keyboard. Zbots were awesome. I remember the airship I built out of Knex was manned by a crew of Zbots.

I had a few of those vehicles. Me and my brother used to cram the little spherical grey tank in the back row full of zbots and take it with us everywhere we went. And I had a friend of a friend who had the giant upper left corner guy, that was cool. He also had a real living tarantula that he would use as a monster during playtime which I thought was genius.

Fuck, kids are weird.

This was the one toy I asked for for like 3 Christmases in a row as a kid but never received (my poor parents not being able to tell a kid Santa can't do shit about a short lived low production toy line, and ebay not being a thing back then). Seeing the commercial it looked so boss i would make my own versions of the base with cardboard and stuff. Saw it only once in TRU one time. I had the big blue robot, the bad guy spaceship, but this was the grail.

MFW after telling this story my girlfriend finds and buys one for me last Christmas. <:)

I remember being disappointed in this set for some reason. I forget if it was because the tops didn't spin for long or that the base's legs couldn't actually support the pressure of someone pushing on the top of it.

If you were never intending to sell them, this was inevitable. Could you really have lived with yourself if they were still mint on card when you wheezed your terminal breath?

Even if you were gonna' sell them, this is more fun. Never heard of Z-bots but they look rad as heck.

I always wanted that brown ashura from the first wave, but was slow on the uptake and missed all the order windows, then after release never found anyone willing to part with one unless it was for a trade. Never found a case on Mandarake.
Then they never used the mold again, and it looks so fucking cool.

It must've felt so good to open those up and play with 'em.

Man, I have the X-Terminate 5 and Klashinator in a cupboard. I think I even have the instruction leaflets for them somewhere. They were some of the few toys I bought with my own money as a kid.

I'd honestly just buy opened doubles considering their condition. Keep these mint.

Actually, shortly after opening them up and scattering the little bots, I noticed that one of them looked odd. So I took a second look and realized he had the wrong arms. Sure enough one of the other bots in the package had accidentally been given the other one's arms! So I swapped them around to fix them.

But, now you see my mistake.

Had I realized that the figures had been assembled incorrectly at the factory I wouldn't have opened the up. They were a production error, probably one of a kind. I probably could have sold them to a dedicated toy collector for some good money... Oh well, at least I fixed a mistake 20 years overdue and now my little guys are no longer restrained behind a plastic barrier when they come to life while I'm sleeping and have Toy Story-style adventures.
