Review: A Great Transformers Reference Guide With Strong Photos - An excellent resource! I own Mr. Bellomo's earlier Transformers Guide, as well as his updated GI Joe guide, and several of his other books. While I have enjoyed Mr. Bellomo's earlier Transformers guide, I felt that the photography could have been stronger. Enter this new edition, and the photography issue has been squarely addressed. The photography in this book really pops and makes a big difference. We get clear and colorful images of the toys, often in nice poses accompanied by accessories. This book chronicles the US G1 Transformers toys by year, starting in 1984. Included are the domestic releases of Transformers, with a brief write up on each toy, photographs of accessories, and multiple photos of each toy. This guide is a useful reference for toy collectors who are looking to re-live their childhood, (re) acquire the toys of their youth, and want to ensure that any G1 Transformers they now obtain are in good condition and complete with all accessories. The book also serves as a fun dose of nostalgia for anyone who grew up in the 1980's, loved Transformers, and would like a trip down memory lane. Highly recommended!
Review: it is a complete and fun read, great for having handy on the shelf ... - where can i go with this? i find that reading (or just flipping through) this guide is not that too far removed from the feeling of doing the same with the old fold out product inserts or christmas catalogs from when I was a boy in the 80's. ...the difference now being instead of daydreaming about future packaging to be opened and battles to be fought it is insight into those memories made so long ago. magic is magic, whether you are young or ...more seasoned ;) from a purely more practical standpoint the guide is made to Mr Bellomo's usual high standards. quality construction and printing, exhaustive detail on not only the toys themselves and accessories but the back stories, histories and variant information as well. it is a complete and fun read, great for having handy on the shelf at home or for going out into the wild on a hunt. you'll not be disappointed!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Here at last!
*by M***D on November 8, 2016*

Finally, a second edition of the long out of print first edtion. If you're interested in G1 Transformers, this guide is the be-all-end-all, from vintage toy expert Mark Bellomo. The guide is chronological, with pictures of every Transformer in their robot and alternate form, with history, bios, and other pertinent information for each one. There are also approximate price points for each, but these aren't written in stone, as the author tells us, and are susceptible to market fluctuations. Nice to have though, all the same. If you're interested in collecting this toy line, or even just casually interested in Generation One Transformers, this is a must own book! Supporting this author will also mean other great books like this on other great toy lines! Strongly recommend!
