Does anyone collect Gobots or Rock Lords?

I was just gathering up all my various Transformers from storage, as I was trying to figure out how much shelving I'll need once I finally get my toy room up and running.

I still have the Go Bots from my childhood. I bought the collector case (In mint shape) a few months ago at a Toy Show for $5, I did have the collector case when I was a kid, my I think it broke and my parents threw it away.

Anyways, does anyone actually collect GoBots or Rock Lords? Other than my GoBots, I have a few Rock Lords that I bought awhile ago (one from Value Village) and I actually kinda dig these, they are such a goofy concept (so bad it's good). I'd love to track down some Jewel Lords, but I'm pretty sure they weren't produced in mass quantities.

Or is collecting anything other than Transformers blasphemy?

Cheers!

Re: Does anyone collect Gobots or Rock Lords?

I got a few Gobots... Puzzler, Super Cy-Kill, Super Leader-1, Super Staks, Super Bug Bite and Super Spay-C... Been trying to find a Super Throttle forever. They rock, they have cool transformations (oftentimes better than similarly sized TFs from the same era) and more die-cast than G1 toys.

I've got a quite a few of Gobots and Super Gobots. Besides having corny names they are great toys. Its hard to find them in great condition but well worth it when you can.

Love several of the Gobots. Leader-1 is awesome, while the litle limo with the top hat was a favorite when I was a kid. Can't think of his name now, Tux? Top Hat? ahhh, it ain't coming to me.

if that's true then I am going to toy hell

I have a few gobots here and there, and I really do love them. however they are hard to come by in good shape. I have super cy-kill and he is one of my faves.

I'll collect just about any transforming toy available, and then group them all together (TFs included)

Re: Does anyone collect Gobots or Rock Lords?

I have a few. I relived a guy of his 15 or so figures for $20. I now have Super Spay-c, Bug bite, and Zeemon. Plus a bunch of regular ones. Scooter, blue Leader-1, Street heat, Res-Q, Cop-tur, Fitor, Night Ranger, and others besides. The big problem is that some are loose.
