I had (still have) a bunch of legions of power sets, I liked them a lot. They were something which you could build like legos, yet wind up with an actual toy like gi joe vehicles. My first experience with them was with a nestle’s quick mail-in thing, you got a figure and 4 or 5 small parts.

Meteorbs, and their counterpats the rock lords, were the lamest concept ever. “My robot becomes a truck!” “My robot becomes a fighter jet!” “My robot becomes a space cannon!” “Mine becomes a rock….”. The only thing meteorbs & rock lords were good for was throwing at someone so you could take their good toy.

omg thank you for blogging about the bad case of worms! I was just thinking of these the other day, thinking that my boys would have loved these. They were one of my favorite toys as a child, something that stands out in my memories! HA! I thought I was the only person who knew what these were! lol

I think I’ve seen at least two of those Orb thingies-Dinosorb and the crocodile one-repainted in a different line, along with other egg dinosaurs. Dinosorb was Brontosaurus and the crocodile one inexplicably became Scelidosaurus even though it looks like Scelidosaurus about as much as Optimus Prime looks like a toilet paper roll rack.

Legions of Power deserves more credit… well maybe it doesn’t. But I certainly had fond memories of them. They were even smaller than my oh so small LEGO Super Mario Brothers (of my own creation) and I had the biggest set availible (a rarity for a family as poor as mine) featuring a motorized thingy. They were great because their cockpits and monitors could easily be turned into couches and TVs. My toys did alot of mundane things.

Also, I have the Computer Warriors VHS if anyone wants me to upload it.

I didn’t know any of those toys, mostly being I was only 7 by the end of the 80′s. But then I got to the Computer Warriors. I just sat there like wholy crap, I so had those, all of it, with the big computer screen and what not. Nice to have a line of toy from the 80′s that sold out to Pepsi lol.

my brother had that computer warriors computer-base playset thing. it was awesome, though a little flimsy. we had to be careful while playing with it, cause it was easy to break while folding it out. also, i really liked the figures the sets came with, the dudes who had normal space-man fronts, had computer part on their backs, like they were walking computer chips.
