80's Toys feature heavily in forthcoming auction
Nov 16, 2016

Wessex
Auction Rooms final specialist Toy Collectors Auction of the year includes a fantastic
collection of 50 original boxed G1 Hasbro Takara Transformers all
complete with weapons, instructions and unused sticker sheets. The
collection includes many sought-after figures that includes Headmasters,
Duocons and fan favourites such as Jazz, Smokescreen, Grapple and Ultra
Magnus. The collection came from a vendor that bought them after their
release in the 1980’s while talking his children to Toys R Us. While his
children went shopping for a present the Transformers caught the gentleman’s
eye and he ended up buying a large quantity of them for himself. He kept
them on display for a short while but they have since spent the last 25 years
in storage. They go under the hammer on 25
th November and the
collection expects to transform into a great investment for the vendor and will
sure to make many collectors Christmas!
The popularity of Retro 80's TV related toys continues to grow at auction, and Wessex Auction Rooms have been travelling the length and breadth of the UK over the past two months consigning collections for our forthcoming auction.
