Definitely. I'd also add Yu-gi-oh to that, although you have to get past the cards thing at first, the plot arcs are pretty interesting.

There is another very good one, which is high-quality CG, and gives Final Fantasy a damn good run for it's money. But I can't think of the name right now (only seen a few bits of a few episodes).

sky something. maybe.

I'm sure I could think of other good modern stuff too. The he-man/transformer generation stuff was very cool, but most of it was weird as ****. I mean exactly what drugs was the writer of Thundercats on, for example (*snarf snarf*).

When i said i cant think of any good cartoons I meant ones that were aired now! maybe the ones you mentioned are? but I'm at work lol. Im watching Bleach at the mo and loving that also full metal alchemist is pretty good.

Hahahahahah I do indeed create transformers from stationery, in my own time at work

The Animé is my own filthy habit. what's your profession I can put your CV forward if you want cos I get cashola if you stay for 3 months

Edit: I've had a few beers now and maybe I worded my previous post wrong. What i meant was that I don't get to watch afternoon cartoons like I used to! Not that I'm watching them now.

Gey your Star Wars stuff on here then!

Lego doesn't count unless you have full built sets. I have a crapload of lego but no built sets

still got all the instruction booklets though but not the time.

Is it made out of metal? if so, that's the one I had when I were a nipper.

What's with all the plastic transformers... I'm sure when I had them, there was metal involved - then suddenly there was a transition to cheap, horrible brittle plastic

Quint · 16 Aug 2008 at 10:31

Not got the armour anymore, I often look on ebay to replace it though.

It's mostly metal yes, very strong toy for the year it was made. I hate the plastic ones, no style and look cheap and nasty.

You gotta admit, its prob the best looking transfomer

Yeah that's definitely the one I had. It was great until my little bro threw it out the window onto the road

Quint · 16 Aug 2008 at 10:35

You should replace from the "auction" site.

Vix · 16 Aug 2008 at 10:36

Lego built sets you say?

Really should get round to taking some new pics, these are old now.

Those belong to the boyfriend mainly, all my retro toys are My LIttle Pony!

Anyone remember small monster figures that had a square sticker on there chest that you had to press. Once you pressed it enough a fire, water, wood sign would come up?

Edit: No wait, you said 'monsters', so I guess not.

Battle Beasts!

Ben M · 16 Aug 2008 at 13:04

I never really got transformers... They go from a car that looks quite like a robot, to a robot that looks quite like a car.
