LOL! Well I'll be damned if he kept it all minty fresh as a kid. None of my toys are minty fresh and have their boxes. Although I don't handle them anally with gloves and transform only once/twice after I get them, I still kept them in pristine order....until my bro plays with them. Transformers' heads limbs get broken off...guns get lost etc. Pesky younger bro.
I guess having a baby sister who's not interested in robots really does help in keeping toys in one piece.
But curious though, if these toys were 20 years old (someone down the thread said 20 i think) and he's 30+, he'd be about 10-13ish when he got these stuff. Were these toys that well distributed around Canada (you're in Canada right?) or the US during the time? I'd figure they'd be rare imports during those times as well.....especially before the age of Robotech.
