1982 Short Fuze at Target. My older sister bought it for me. We went back the next day and got the FLAK. She was so good to me.

For me it was Christmas '82, Got about 3/4 of the lineup that day.
Snake Eyes was my favorite, but He was my bad guy since he was in all black. Also got Flash, Zap and Rock & Roll single-carded figures. Got the Vamp with Clutch, and Missile launcher with Hawk and the RAM cycle. Best Christmas ever! |

My nan got me Destro for easter. I had no idea who he was, but with the opening backpack, and the missiles on his arms, he became an instant favourite!
