TransformerLand has a rating of 4.5 stars from 276 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally satisfied with their purchases. Reviewers satisfied with TransformerLand most frequently mention fair price, great experience, and transformers collection. TransformerLand ranks 1st among Transformers sites.
I recently corresponded with transformerland.com about selling a decent-sized collection of vintage action figures from the 70s and 80s. They were fast at communicating. They were fair and transparent in their offer, and the offer they made was competitive and reasonable. In the end, I sold to a local collector for less than what transformerland.com offered just to avoid having to box and ship a collection consisting of several hundred items (probably a thousand little pieces if you count helmets, guns, backpacks, vehicles, etc). The collector even grumbled that with the last collection he tried to purchase, he was out-bid by transformerland.com. So this seems like a great company to deal with, at least on the front end when it comes to getting an initial offer. I can't speak to any more than that. But if you have a collection you're considering selling, reach out to them!
Twice I've sent emails asking for a quote on figures. No response, and it has been a month. If I'm not worth your time, you're not worth mine.

Matt runs a very nice site and offers very fair prices for your TF collection. I sold a load of G1 Headmasters to him and was pleasantly surprised at the amount offered for them having some idea what they go for and of course knowing that he's a dealer. He offers several methods to get paid and I opted to send my figures to him first and then receive payment by personal check as it seemed fastest. Usually this is a no-no when dealing over the internet, but his copious amount of positive reviews set my mind at ease. Of course everything went off without a hitch and payment was made promptly, so don't worry your little head about doing the same.
One minor quibble is that I would have preferred faster email responses, but not everyone lives with their email in hand like I do, so that's not a reason to knock off a star.
A+ recommendation overall.

Nothing but the best of praises. Awesome site, awesome company. Their listings come as described if not better. I prefer them over EVERYONE else online will continue to keep ordering from them. Top notch, professional and safe fast shipping.

It's not often you run into an operation as well run as Transformerland.
Matt (owner) personally handles a lot of the emails.
Their prices are very fair and I've never once been let down.
What's most refreshing is that Matt really knows his stuff and is level headed in his dealings. This gives the whole experience buying from them a personal touch I rarely find elsewhere.
I know I can message with questions or even an issue and they're great about getting back to me.
I'll keep going here as a result for a lot of my old toy collection searches and needs.
The website is also super easy to use, and I really like the inventory update emails looping me in almost daily as to new arrivals. A+ spot in my humble opinion.

Been buying from Transformerland for about 8+ years now. Never had an issue with a purchase or shipments. Recently sold the second portion (of a third of my collection) to them. I was offered more than I expected. Once the figures were received and inspected, payment was sent promptly, through PayPal. Would definitely recommend.

No matter what I was looking for or saw he always made sure to tell me down to detail everything on it. Upon buying and selling figures never had an issue doing business. Awesome place to get what you need.

Matt does a brilliant job with this site. An excellent resource for any Transformer enthusiast. So much detail, research, time and effort.
On the buying and selling side - Matt's prices are well worked out and based on historical data. While it might seem that they are not the cheapest, they are actually really good value for money when you consider all that's gone into it - plus the detailed condition report of the item and ability to be able to buy with absolute confidence and no surprises!

I worked with the guys at Transformerland over the past eight months or so to sell my collections of Transformers and other old school toys. Throughout the process, they were responsive, friendly, and, best of all, completely reasonable in their pricing, always providing solid and rational grounding for their numbers. Because they are nice, they also helped me identify a pretty obscure non-Transformer toy, which I had been convinced was a hopeless cause. Transformerland is awesome!

I contact Matthew for selling part of my transformers collection, he was kind an offer me a fair price but shipping from Belgium was so expensive that i had to decline. I was using this site with it's very usefull tool to check the name, weapons and plans of any transformers ( and other toy lines). So i'll know if they are complete.
Highly recommended

Matt from Transformer land was excellent to work with and tons of knowledge. I originally contacted Matt to get some information on my husbands childhood collection. Things worked out so well that he bought the entire collection.

We saw a Facebook post about Gen 1 loose figures. Sent an inquiry for three figures that were high on my son's wish list. Not only did I get those three pieces, they were in WAY better shape than what we requested. My little boy is going to freak out! They have made a lifelong customer in myself and can pretty much guarantee the same for my son!

I was able to sell my entire lot of G1 Transformers for a lot of money! Definitely recommended over eBay or anything like it because you don't have to deal with fees. Also, the website provides an archive of corresponding accessories so that you can check on the completeness each toy. Completeness equals more money, so I suggest checking there before sending him your list. No complaints!

What a great website! Not only was I able to find every single transformer that I had, or had parts for, they gave me a fair market price without all of the fees and posting nonsense of Ebay. Avery well run machine indeed. Keep it up and I hope to do business with Transformerland again.

Have purchased vintage items from these folks before, excellent selection, everything well described and documented. Also an amazing Wiki on their site for sorting out all those tiny plastic guns and whatnot you may have lying around and don't know what they go with!
Sold these folks my collection of vintage items from when I was a kid. They do negotiate a hard bargain, but ultimately they were very fair with the price. They were also easy and fast to communicate with, payment was quite prompt and they trusted me with 80% up front when I shipped the goods. That's a demonstration of good reliable business!
All in all an excellent experience and would recommend them highly!

I came across the site whilst looking to move some Transformers from my youth onto a new loving home, and I didn't have the time or inclination to split the collection up on eBay. Matt provided a very fair price, was responsive to e-mail and open to suggestions on shipping (I'm based in the UK). There is always a worry about selling over the internet and ensuring you receive what you are owed, however in the case of this site I can say that was not a problem whatsoever. Payment was simple, and the transaction easy. Good, honest service agreed in a virtual handshake.

I have bought transformers from nearly every online retailer, and this is one of the best. Come here first before slogging through ebay listings. In fact, I much prefer waiting for it to show up here than buying from ebay. I have never had any cause to mistrust them or doubt their integrity. They are fast, honest, courteous, and professional. Buy here!

I've shopped at Transformerland for a few years. Every order that I place with Matt is shipped accurately and efficiently. I have placed over a dozen orders with them on separate occasions and have never had anything but the best of service. Transformerland has always been respectful, fair priced, and helpful with any collecting needs. And, let us not forget that Matt has a (massive) selection of transformers like no other website out there.
Matt, my hat off to you - you have earned my business for life.

A great site to sell your old and valuable Transformers action figures - especially when you're looking to sell in a hurry. You get good value and you can be assured that the payment will be on time, and overall have a pleasant transaction. Worked with Matthew many times now, and never had any issues. Highly recommend these guys!

I recently sold a lot of Transformers (400 or so figures) to TransformerLand and they were absolutely great. Matthew kept me in the loop the entire time and gave a fair bid. Once he received the figures he sent payment promptly and at no point was I ever concerned that there would be an issue. Would definitely recommend.

When I was trying to catalog all of my son's vintage Transformers, GI Joe, and other various toys I had no idea how to begin. In searching various websites, I found that I didn't need to look any further than Matt and TransformerLand. This is the most detailed website for selling or purchasing these toys. I would never have been able to identify all toys without their website. I didn't hesitate to contact Matt when we were looking to sell the toys. Professional and knowledgeable are two words that describe them but they go beyond that - their customer service is the best from the beginning of the process to receipt of payment. They even advised me on best shipping method. I don't normally write reviews but these guys are exemplary and I knew I needed to thank them for all their help.

Best web site out there to ID Transformers and other popular 1980's toys! Sold my lot of Transformers for a very fair price! Totally recommend this site to anyone just trying to find ones they want to buy or if they want to sell their collection. Much easier than selling each one on ebay!

I came into possession of an estate collection of older Transformers and after some research Matt was very knowledgeable, professional, timely, and fair with his offer for the collection. I used the PayPal route for payment and despite any concerns for online business dealing everything went incredibly smooth. I would highly recommend transformerland.com for collection selling. Not only that but Matt helped me find other potential buyers for collections that I had outside of transformers. Excellent customer service!

I found this site while looking to sell my transformers, Matt was awesome in answering e-mails back and forth. This is by far the best site to sell your collection if your from Canada. His offer was excellent and fair. Being from Alberta I thought there would be a lot of hassle because of the border issue with items crossing. He has many ways to send the items which helped a lot. I will definitely recommend his site to all Canadians that wish to sell their collections.
Thank-you for your excellent service Matt

I have had great success in not only buying but selling to them as well. Matt is great to work with and very fair on what he offers. Some people don't realize you aren't going to get what you might be able to sell if you sold each item on eBay or to a third party. Remember he has to get something out of the deal. It is less time consuming for me to send a large list and get an offer than to try to sell each one individually. Anytime i need to sell something i go to him first.
