OT: Spring cleaning suprise

[krazie_Kid]

Well my mom and I went into the attic to clean it out for spring cleaning, and for moving. Now as we were cleaning, she hands me two boxes from my childhood. One was a black and white Mighty Morphin Power Ranger Megazord box, and the other was a dragonzord.

Now the black and white box instantly took my eye and I was thinking "Hey I have money in this thing" So I go online and look it up, 300-500 bucks. I was astonished by how much it was worth, so what is the first thing a nerd does? Open the box that hasn't been open in almost 10 year's to check the pieces. I look at the direction's and notice I am missing 2 pieces. But this is not an ordinary megazord, it is a limited edition black and gold one. So what is the second thing I do? Check the other box, and notice there are two pieces from that missing as well.

Well now, what can one do with one collector's toy's that are missing pieces? Put them together and put them on display. Later I found out they were gifts from my parent's when I was growing up, and decided against selling it.

I have attached the image of both of them for you guy's. I think I am going to put the stickers on now, so it can catch the eye better.

That's really fun, Krazie! I think you should keep them if you can. I still have boxes with some of my toys and even a favorite dress from when I was about 9-10 years old. It's tempting to make money from them but later on you'll be glad you kept them - if not for yourself, maybe future offspring?

Krazie sir you can combine them to make Dragon megazoid or Dragon megazoid.... That show used to be awesome for it's craptacularness. Best worst special effects ever.

Yeah it shocked me I had those in my attic, I am guna keep them on display in my room, my parents when I was little bought them for me, they were 70 bucks each, and we, like a lot of other families had little money, so it is a treasure for me.

I tried to quickly do it, I think I am guna look harder so I can keep them on display for myself, it is nice to have a treasure like that around.

Oh I am, there is no way I am selling them, they mean a lot to me. When I get my own house, they will be put on a shelf, right now they are next to my tv.

Yeah I am really loving them, especially the black and gold one!

For some reason your post didn't get put in the massive quote I did, but yes I did combine them today, I had fun playing with them for 2 seconds, before realizing they have plastic on plastic connections, so after a while they will wear out. I loved that show when I was little, but you are right, going back to rewatch it on youtube and seeing the horrible effects make me laugh.
