They'll more than likely play on any reasonably modern TV/DVD player.

Man, I reckon stuff like Transformers/Turtles toys etc were the last things that will ever become true collectors items with the way toys are cheaply mass produced these days.

With transformers you just KNEW that some poor coont had sat there doing a nine hour shift screwing arms on all day.

Quality!

My bro loves his TransFormers (Not JB Fletch, the older one lol)... His got some worth a fortune. I picked him up 2 of them mini tapes to play in SoundWave (Purple tape deck) in a box set, which were never sold in this country for £70 on EBAY. He said its worth around £300 His got the fooking toys everywhere, loads of DVD's, etc... All in MINT condition which his gonna give to My son when his older

My son loves Beast Wars, which is a current spin off of Transformers and currently has all me bro's old tapes The only times his quiet is when he puts them on

Another thing worth money now is Dr Who stuff. Me bro has books from years ago he paid £5 for. Now they are worth £50 each....

At 1st I thought it was a collection of toys, but then realised it was the dvd set. Awesome collection IMO, although, you will need to make sure your tv supports NTSC playback, your dvd player will play them, but if ya TV doesn't, then you're fooked . Regardless of what chip you have in the x-box too

It's deffo a good buy if it works, i bought the box set's as they were released on www.playusa.com Worked out about a score a peice.

Ive still got my old Optimus Prime truck at home.. along with a few other models.. transformers were great!
