| 3563 | Article | mickyarber | First off, I too was a huge Gobots fan, and took a lot of flak from my friends because they all thought Transformers were cooler. Secondly, I absolutely love those old pictures of your Christmas. I'm such a sucker for old family Christmas pics, and these really hit the spot. Third, being around that age and getting a camera is something really special isn't it? In 1988, I got a video recorder that used a special kind of cassette tape, and you could hook it up to the tv and play back whatever you recorded. Awesome sauce! Great Christmas memories in this one, and so glad you shared it and those awesome pictures. | Dec 12, 2016 |  | |
| 3562 | Article | mickyarber | Holy crap man. Your article last year struck a nerve with me, and now you bust out this Christmas classic. I know it may have been years ago, but I'm sitting here today feeling so sorry for your bother. This is a really good tale, and the pictures you chose are spot on. Nice work. As a side note, I remember a radio station running a contest back in '99 for a new Toyota. They had all kinds of entries, but it turned out all they were giving away was a "toy Yoda" as a tie in to the new Star Wars movie. There were a lot of angry people who claimed false advertising. It wasn't pretty. | Christmas Conundrum | Dec 12, 2016 | |
| 3561 | Article | massreality | I loved those themed cameras. I had a Ninja Turtle one back in the early 90's, that I wore out. I took pictures of just about anything and everything I could with that camera. Its so awesome that you still have some of the photos! | Christmas 1985 Through My Gobots Camera Lens | Dec 12, 2016 | |
| 3560 | Article | SockofFleagulls | @vaporman87 I've seen some on eBay, sometimes even sold individually. I still have my Voltron book and several sports books too, some of which I never completed. @nlogan thanks! | Christmas 1985 Through My Gobots Camera Lens | Dec 12, 2016 | |
| 3559 | Article | SockofFleagulls | Thanks for sharing. My parents divorced just a couple years before you and I know some of those feelings. Luckily I was in high school so I had many years of great Christmases together. | A Very Sega Christmas | Dec 12, 2016 | |
| 3558 | Article | Vaporman87 | Awwww... man. Talk about disappointment. I'm guessing your parents were hitting every thrift store and yard sale they could find to try and make things right, to no avail. Bummer. But hey, an SNES! LOL. I can just see you pounding away gleefully on that controller while occasionally looking over at your bro and sighing before refocusing on the 16 bit glory. | Christmas Conundrum | Dec 12, 2016 | |
| 3556 | Article | Vaporman87 | I still have that Masters of the Universe sticker book. I always meant to get all the stickers so I could fill the whole thing, but never did. I wonder if I can get them anywhere now? Hmmmm. Your adventures with your GoBots camera reminds me of my early exploits with a PXL 2000 I received one year for Christmas. It used audio cassette tapes to record grainy, black and white video. But that didn't stop me from documenting all the goings on in my house. | Christmas 1985 Through My Gobots Camera Lens | Dec 12, 2016 | |
| 3554 | Article | Vaporman87 | Man, I can feel the disappointment of your grandpa's gift from here. LOL. Thankfully your dad came through and really helped life make sense again, even in the midst of all the awkward proceedings. Great story sir! | A Very Sega Christmas | Dec 12, 2016 | |
| 3553 | Article | NLogan | Nice. I had a few GoBots and always wanted the diecast Voltron. The pictures especially the fact that you took them make this one special. | Christmas 1985 Through My Gobots Camera Lens | Dec 12, 2016 | |
| 3552 | Article | NLogan | Only 2 people knew who I was supposed to be. Lots of people thought it was a mask and were surprised to find out it was make up. If you look very closely at the maxilla region above where my upper lip would be near the philtrum, you can see the line of the bottom of my nose. The nostrils are actually painted clear up on the bridge of my nose to try for more of a likeness to the character. | Disney's Haunted Mansion Hat Box Ghost | Dec 12, 2016 | |
