I love looking at your pics, skywarp! It's refreshing being reminded that there's someone out there spending more than me! LOL!

Nice stuff!

I see you have a (probably complete or near) MASK collection.
2 questions:

1. What do you do for a living?
2. How big is your house that you have this stuff all on shelving? Packaging takes a lot of space!

Actually, I only have the MASK vehicles shown in the pictures. I got half of my other stuff at my poor mom's.

I work at the wharehouse for the school district in my area. I basically move things around all day.

I will be going through my closet this weekend and post pictures. I got one toyline made by Matchbox that a few might remember. :wink:

Robotech!!!!

Also, thanks for the work tidbit... now everytime you post something, I'll be thinking: "Your tax dollars at work!"... and smiling.

It's not Robotech. They are loosely based on an old Atari video game!

Well BLAST it. It must be something from a ROAD less travelled then, eh?

You got it.

Roadblasters! Power that rules the road!

Sometime in the distant futer, a race will be staged between the Turbo Force and the Motor Lords. Two teams consisting of high speed race cars and various powerfull support vehicles.

I'm about 60% done completing this line.

Although I am a Matchbox collector, I never got seriously into Roadblasters... Although back then, when they were new, and I had fresh the sight of Mad Max 3, they were very attractive. As I didn't get any of them (I always got standard vehicles), it may have influenced that I didn't get fond memories of them. But anyway, congrats! I'm glad to see more Matchbox followers out there!

Here's another one to guess.

It was 4x4 truck made by Galoob in the 80's.
It had a very catchy tune in the commercial as well.
Went something like this: "Can anything stop... the ------"

I'll post pics of it on the weekend. :lol:

You have a Cross Boss? Cool!

You are very close, but it's not Cross Boss. This 4x4 has claws! :shock:

Not something incredibly random such as the old attack pak figures I remember. {Where a tank became a T rex like thing when a level was pressed, I still have a few lying around here somewhere, I'll take some pics if I can find em.}

Wasn't there a remote control truck that did that. The claw slid out of the tires and the hood had a head, that kind of thing? I vaguely remember a tv commercial where they used the claws to climb over a branch.

I don't recall a remote control one... but I'm pretty sure Skywarp is going to show us an Animal. Presumably the "Power Pickup" version, since he said it was a truck. (None of the Animals were remote controlled).

So you mean a 4xFang then? I have one (from my childhood); never saw a TV commercial though.

Nothing can stop The Animal! You can leave the claws out, in, or on auto for when the going gets tough! :D

These motorized cars were so popular that Galoob reissued this very one in 1991. The original one I had like this was a much nicer dark red than orange. I'm guessing my mom sold that one. :( I picked this one misb about 6 years ago.

I also had the Giant seen in the commercial below. A friend of mine had Flex.

I would love to get them all someday.
