Got all my transformers toys out of storage as they had been theere since i moved from my house when i was 15.
They had allready been on boxes for like 5 years.
As i opened up the lid i as frantically searching for the ULTRA rare (apparently) shockwave toy i had....
(like this one..http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Astro-Magnum-BOXED-Pre-Transformers-G1-SHOCKWAVE_W0QQitemZ6065545077QQihZ009QQcategoryZ4696QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)
When i got it the battery terminals had come away from the wires and his fucking arm snapped off
I wanted to make money off it Dammit!!
Got two huge buckets full of them tho! Ebay here i come

Well i guess i could get it superglued
I know its not going to be worth £100 as it doesnt have box or instructions (i dont think i kept them) But its probably worth bugger all as it is!
Luigi, you reckon i stand a chance? Im 100% certain it wasnt broken when it went in...

Jambo...it's worth a go. Use the excuse, why would you put a broken toy in storage 
I'd definatly say its worth a go!

Yes jim he charges £10 an hour. He has hands like a romanian junior gymnast and nails like a pornstar.
Handy for getting into small places to superglue

I had the red and grey, but never got those alien ones that came out a year later.
Argos do a new version of shockwave. Its got the same head and turns into an RX8!
For my bday my gf got me a rather cool Optimus prime like this http://www.geocities.com/lynxswift/picsofweek/2004winter/optimusprime.jpg It's got a moving mouth shield, light up matrix of leader ship, megatron gun, little pop up comunicator screen in the arms. Yeah I'm a geek, but I thought it was good.
