Erector in 1989.

Who had one back then?

Only when we grew up we wanted an Erector.

For those who were lucky enough, got a bigger Erector in 2008 (via a homage).

We know now there's a lot of fans for Erector, from the BotCon 2011 Hall of Fame nominations, what started out as a small crowd with a small voice, grew, and grew, and grew.

Luckily, cooler heads prevailed and voted on the others.

If Erector had won, who knows how big a wave of facepalming there would be?

Re: Awesome Shelfwarmers

Yeah. Back then, many of us just wanted to know what our Erector was...

Re: Awesome Shelfwarmers

The last time I was at TRU awhile ago there was a lot of Terradives hanging around, as well as most of the stuff mentioned above. Very saddening to see a abundance of such a fantastic toy being ignored. Same goes for Lugnut.
