Advantages: An impressively accurate and very well made re-issue of a classic retro toy. Disadvantages: The "dilemma" ... should I open and play or keep sealed and display ???
of toy technology. Robots that "transformed" into vehicles was probably the coolest toy concept to have hit the shelves and for those of you lucky enough to have owned some of the first generation Transformers toys you would have been the envy of your friends !!!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY FROM THE AUTOBOTS !!!
1984 was a long time ago but to mark that special anniversary Hasbro have released a commemorative 25thAnniversaryEdition of the greatest Transformer of all time ... Optimus Prime !!!

The Young ones was a sitcom broadcast on BBC two in the 1980's, written by Rik Mayall and Ade Edmunson it is about 4 students who attend 'Scumbag College' North London.

Although through all of the series's not once do we actually see any of them spend any time at thier institution, or working, nor ...
