I have seen this collection personally in my travels. I must say the pictures do not do it justice.
No matter what kind of day you have had...This is a room that any transformers fan can go into and feel a little happier . Although I must ask.

Did you really have to open them all?

Nice collection man. Sorry about the cows Mo.

HEY HEY Whatup Flatrock?! I KNEW you were gonna have to say something about opened boxes, I KNEW IT!! You have got to be the only transformers collector that looses sleep for a week if they open a figure! You couldn't even open the KO mini max I sent you!!

But Mo says the cows are safe..... for now.

Your wife is very lucky to have a room like that in the house. I showed your pics to my wife and she kinda rolled her eyes and said "my oh my, is this what you aspire...?" I just smiled at her

Friend I am extremely lucky. My wife is smart, supportive, funny and hot. She lets me have this little hobby and my little room. I hope everyone's wife/girlfriend/mate encourages them to collect, display and love these little plastic pieces of crack.

Maybe you can compromise with the wife: instead of removing the bed, you just put Transformers sheets and bedding on it.

That would work. OR... I can leave the spare bedroom entirely and the Transformers can migrate to our living room, which is MUCH bigger. What a great idea Fox. I'll tell her you said so.

really awesome collection, like the linkin park poster too

Thanks man. I wish I could get her to see what is so obvious to everyone else. The bed must go. Especially since I just added more shelves to include my new G1 Overlord, Reflector, Monstructor, RTS and several third party pieces. Maybe I'll update these pics......

I'm a little jealous. My entire collection was packed up before I left on my mission and I'm just not in a position to open everything up and get it on display again due to stuff that is beyond my control. I'm hoping I can do that soon though.

Anyways, it's a sweet collection and made me want to pull mine out so badly, but family comes first so I'll occupy myself with whatever is on store shelves.

I saw you made a post about being embarassed that you don't have a Fort Max. Don't be! I've been at this for 20 years (Yes, I've been collecting since I was a year old. Literally) and I still don't have him. Logic tells me that getting one in my current position would be downright irresponsible in my current financial state. At the same time, I find myself dropping cash on so many other figures that he's one of those figures that I'll get to eventually as I'd rather have my disposable funds go towards other goodies.

Anyways, cool collection. I'm am a little annoyed with you though because it makes me want to see my stuff so badly since I haven't messed with it in 19 months.

WOW, what an awesome collection, I am green with envy!

So the military or your faith has your collecting hands tied? Either way, as an American Christian, thank you for either one.

Listen buddy, I know the feeling. When I first got married (I did not have half of this stuff, total win = my wife). We moved out of a crap apartment and had to live...here we go... with my mom for like 6 weeks until our new place was ready. Yes it was that bad. But i had EVYERTHING in boxes and could not unpack even after we moved in until later. Take comfort in knowing that your collection will be there. Plus, its not getting exposure to light or smoke or 3 year olds, which means it is safe. No need to be jealous, a collection is what you make of it.

As far as Fort Max goes...I finally got one. Complete, white and just as cool as I had always hoped. Depressingly Monstructor is a let down.

Sorry I should have clarified. I served a mission for my church. My collection ended up being catalogued and boxed while I was away in Idaho so my grandmother could come live with us after the passing of my grandpa.

It does comfort me to know that my collection is safe from the elements. I just look forward to when I can bust them out. If you look at my collection thread, you'll get an idea of what I've got.

For now, I'll collect that I can and add them to the rest of the crew later.

Yeah, Monstructor is a let down. I had always wanted one until I saw one up close at Botcon 2009. It's barely the size of G1 Hot Rod and to me, $600 is ridiculous for that figure. Again, another figure in which I find to be ridiculously overrated for the value. I probably won't buy one until I reach a point in which the purchase would go from financially irresponsible to a way of treating myself without blowing a hole into my wallet.

BTW, BW figures look amazing in large groups. You might want to invest in at least the show characters. I think you'd enjoy them.

Yea I just added some new pics. And I checked out your collection. Dude I keep all my boxes, but you have so many IN the boxes...I...just...How? How can you resist?

Well, the truth is that I can't control myself. In most cases I free them from their boxes the moment I get them home.

A lot of them were repacked shortly before those pics. The stuff you seen on my bed was laid out and then photographed before it was packed and put back into boxes or storage bins.

I try to keep the boxes to everything so that I have a way to store them comfortably during long periods of time.

When I can set up my collection my sealed stuff will be opened and displayed.

So yeah, FREE THEM FROM THEIR CARDBOARD PRISONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks man! I've seen your fleet of Seekers! Awesome stuff! Seems like you got on board for Botcon at the right time. I can't believe EVERTHING sold out so fast! Hit some of the hotel rooms up before the sales floor opens. I got some outstanding deals in dealers rooms before

after looking at it a second time maybe you could geta piece of mdf cut it to the size of the mattress and use it as a diarama and put some shelves above it. just a thought anyhow good luck with the reorganization im in the middle of moving my stuff to a larger room.

I shall see his collection then .

Thats a killer collection man . Those skystalker drones are sick, I want a bunch hovering around my Mindwipe
Whats the record vinyl on the wall?
Also, how do you deal with dust settling on these bots?
Sort of a tangent, I'm looking for a figure to stand in for a classics bugly... any suggestions? (I was thinkin of Universe 1.0 Skywarp so far)

Thanks man. The Mindwipe minions are neat, I threw a little paint on 'em to give them some uniqueness. I'm not at all surprised you noticed them, Mindwipe is kinda your guy right? The Vinyl is DJ Nebulan and Dez Drastic. Techno DJ buddy of mine from Tampa said I had to have it. It's actually Decepticonz Records! As far as Bugly...hmm..That Skywarp is as good as anything I can think of.
