My FLOOD of Nostalgia !

What a Christmas Gift I received today ! First off, a little background story to describe why I was so surprised. About 15 years ago, my parents, amongst many home owners in our area, suffered extreme loss due to heavy rains causing major flooding. We had over 3 feet of water in our basement, and we lost a LOT of valuables, things that could not be replaced. Luckily, my father stowed away a box of my toys high enough out of the way to avoid damage, however, I didn't know this until today ! My girlfriend and I went up to visit and take in some of my mothers incredible cooking, and afterwards, they presented me with several large bags filled with items wrapped in gift tissue. I had no idea what these things were ! As you can imagine my curiosity, I began to open them, one by one. I ended up with 25 complete G1 Transformers from my original collection when I was about 10 years old. I couldn't believe what I was looking at and holding in my hands ! They even had all the weapons and accessories packaged in seperate bags. Some of the figures I remembered right away, but some of them, I couldn't even recall my parents buying them for me. Man, how time flies ! It was an incredible feeling, and surely my best present this year. Anyway, Merry Christmas everyone ! Take a look at my haul and tell me what ya think

Wow, that is a wicked Christmas surprise!
I don't know if G1 Slingshot suffers from Gold plastic syndrome the way G2 Slingshot does, but be very careful with him nonetheless!
