Nice...those were great toys.  I was lucky enough to have Optimus Prime, but the majority of my transforming robot toys were Gobots.  The rest of my money went directly to buying an NES.  Spent an entire summer working on my dad's construction site for .25/hour to afford it.  And I'm not exagerating that number.  

You made 2 dollar a day? Holy crap well that must have deffo given you the value ( or is it worth? ) of money

It truly did.  And if my brother or I fought on the clock (which we did a lot) we would be docked hours.  Pretty brutal, but I didn't know any different.  I just knew every hour bought me a pack of garbage pail kids cards or a game of space invaders (the only arcade cabinet we had in town), and it seemed worth it.  And I do believe saving up for the NES (with ROB) was worth it.  I didn't have many games and had to borrow most from my friends, but going from having to wait all summer for the arcade to come to town with the fair vs playing super mario in my own house was unbelievable.
