Unboxing Sunstreaker Blokees Transformers Galaxy Universe 06 by @triverse on 3Speak
Blokees are a build your own toy type model kit. Back in the day they were known as "snap together" versus the kits that required gluing. I preferred the snap together kits because I was young and ...

I'm trying something a little different here. This is an unboxing video for the blockies. Is it blockies or blokeys? I've always heard blockies. You know, B-L-O-K-E-E -S. Transformers, Galaxy version Parallel Universe 06. Yeah, that's a mouthful. Anyways, these are found at Walmart, and I believe Target has them as well. Now, as you can see in the video, playing in the background here, it is sped up by two times, so if you want to watch it in real time, uh, well, just slow it down to one, uh, one speed, and, uh, or would that be half speed? I'm not, anyway, you can slow the video down on YouTube, but, uh, I was just muted it because it makes me sound, it makes me sound even worse than I sound now, so if you wanted to see the video in real time, slow it down to half speed, I think. But anyways, if you're a fan of Transformers, you probably have seen these at Walmart, because they are, excuse me, they are in the Transformers section. They don't transform, though. Now, they do have newer models, like, I believe they have the Constructicons where you can actually transform them, but I'm not sure how that works. I don't think they transform into vehicles, robot vehicle, and then the body parts for the, to actually make, you know, Bruticus. Or is a Devastator. Bruticus is another one. He's a different, uh, combiner. Anyway, these are single-formers. They're about build, build your own, uh, action figure type things. Now, if you've ever wondered what... crossover characters that look like Optimus Prime with Megatron's Canon Arm, which I know, I believe, IDW Comics explored that, or if you wondered what different Transformers' heads on different bodies that look like, things like that. You can do that with these figures, without breaking the figure. And you can also reenact some scenes and add more characters to the scene of, like, I believe it was an Ultramagnus that was blown apart, like, into pieces on Junkion in the Transformers movie. You can do things like that with this, with any character from these. I mean, you can, you know, replace Soldier Magnus with any of these characters, which makes me wonder, why didn't the Junkion's repair Optimus? But anyways, that's a side point. None of my business. There are several characters in this lineup for the parallel universe, or, yeah, parallel universe. I guess, 06, or is that Galaxy version of 06? With this particular line, there's several. Oh, my God, there are so many. And it seems like every line has a Megatron, it has a bumblebee, it has a, you know, well, I was going to say it has a Star Screen, but it has at least a seeker. Like, here you have, GERGE, is the Seeker? Durge. excuse me, dirge, I'm old, I can't, you know, reading the small prints hard. You also have ratchet, kickback from the insecticons, wheeljack, suncracker, sunstreaker, which is the one in the video here, swoop in robot form, swoop in alternate mode, and IDW Megatron, all in a one and nine chance of getting them. Now, IDW Optimus Prime is 1 and 12. which I believe I have an Optimus Prime. It's a different, I'm not sure if I uploaded that video. And then there's a 1 in 36 IDW Orion Pax. I have not found that one. Yeah, I picked these up fairly cheap on clearance at Walmart. It's one of those flash clearance sales. They didn't stay on clearance for more than like two or three days. But they were like a dollar. So I went ahead and picked up like 30 or 40 of these from different lines. Because they put all of the blockies this size, not the big ones that are like 15 bucks now. I remember just a year or a year or so ago, those were $9.95. I thought they were expensive then. Should have bought them back then. But all of the small ones, like the, I call them 5 inch tall, I don't think they're 5 inches, but the smaller ones. The box is about as big, you know, dimension, like one side is about the size of a playing card. The small boxes, they're five bucks. They were on sale for a buck. I bought a bunch of different, varying releases, trying to get a variety here. I wasn't really trying to get any particular character. This was before the one with Unicron and Tripticon came out. If that would have been involved in this dollar sale, I would have exclusively focused on those, because I want to get Tripticon. Fun fact, I have a used tripticon, he's not complete, but I picked him up at Goodwill for $2.63. I only found him because an elderly lady was having trouble putting something in her cart, and I walked across the store to help her, and I got the adminer her cart, I think it was a coffee table, and I looked over at the furniture, and there was a tryptocon sitting on another coffee table, maybe an addresser, and I was like, huh. nowhere near the toys. So after I helped the elder Lenity, I went over picked up the tripticon, he was marked $2.0.C.3. I bought him. And then I found out to check out, someone bought a boxed Metroplex for $9.95, like 20 minutes before I got there. What a deal. But there are deals out there. Check them out. Check your local Walmart's, targets, et cetera. And just have fun. These toys, now keep in mind, if you're a parent, you're going to give us young children, these do have small parts, and there is a choking hazard. These are not safe for small children to have in any way. I mean, I'm sorry, these are definitely adult toys. If you have small children that you want to play with Transformers, buy them the traditional transformers that transform. They also have solid... transformers, like figurines and things that are suitable for really young children, that Dollar Tree sells them for, like, a buck 25, buck 75. Walmart has a variation, it's like Starscream, Optimus Prime, and Megatron for like a buck 25. Anyways, life's too short to be mean. Be nice.
