And I remember I'd go to his house (his mother had given him the entire basement for a playroom in one corner you saw Fortress Maximus, another had the Defiant), and he would have this big huge battle set up where every toyline he had was involved, and different factions had been formed, like Starscream had his own team of Dreadnoks and VENOM vehicles, or Duke was holed-up in the Super Powers Hall of Justice with Batman, Optimus Prime, and a squad of Sky Commanders. I mean whenever something new came out, he had it, no question. But I had a friend that had every toy line you could imagine. See, as a kid I never mixed my toylines together, although I pretended once that my Millenium Falcon was a secret military satellite captured by Cobra and the Joes had to go rescue it. (It also made me appreciate the Hulk in a whole new way.) I've never been a big Hulk fan, but that crossover made complete perfect sense to me, and I began to see all of the possibilities. (lol) This reminds me of the other thread where someone had incorporated the new Hulk figures in with their Joes. Geeze.you guys are making me want to revert back and start buying toys again. I've made Superhero and Mortal Kombat customs out of 25th Joe's and they display well with my "regular Joe's", so that makes the crossover thing go smoother also. So now pretty much anytihng coming in the 1/18 scale, I can make it all fit somehow, in my head. When Indy came back, I knew that world could also be used with the Stargate as well. #Microman batman house series#Then I began reading some of Marvel Civil War series and thought Joe could be crossed over with them and from reading the Ultimate Nightnare series too. Stargate is already a kinda of crossover to me of SW & GI Joe(real world military going at it with a sci-fi group). And that started putting ideas in my head also. I have a Stargate model I got from ebay, that display's pretty good with 1/18 figures(not to scale, but close enough for me). Happened by accident, as I would display Joe, SW, Indy, and SHS fig's on my shelf, I began to think about "what if's" in a crossover manner. Now after seeing more lines coming into 1/18th market, it has led me to go outside of the Joe & SW verse's. I kept my Joe's seperate from my Star Wars figures. We're ranking these figures as if they were all in the same graded mint sealed in the original box condition, but collectibility sometimes outstrips value in the rankings (thanks to for the images of most of these toys.As a kid, I didn't crossover. We're only counting figures that were officially released into stores in the United States (no mail-away items, no special tie-in products, like the Optimus Prime Pepsi edition). We're going to count down the 15 most expensive collectible Transformers toys. Now over 30 years later, the original line of Transformers toys in the United States (the "Generation 1" line, as it has been retroactively titled) are some of the most collectible toys in existence.

Takara had two lines of toys, Diaclone and Microchange, and Hasbro hired Marvel Comics to come up with a way to combine both lines of toys into one cohesive concept. The Transformers line of toys from Hasbro that debuted in 1984 is one of the most successful toy franchises in the history of toys and yet, it only began after a failed attempt by the Japanese company Takara to bring the same basic toys to the market in the United States in the early 1980s.
