Buy-Back - TFSource Article

Postby Maz » Tue Apr 08, 2014 4:36 pm

If you’ve ever been in the business of selling items from your Transformers collection, chances are it was for a good reason. When action such as that is properly justified, it can be lived with and we move on, waiting for a point in the future where any regrettable sales can be undone. I know personally I have sold to raise money for other purchases, because of shifting interests and because sometimes I had to. This week I look at some of the figures that, given the financial comfort and opportunity, I would like to buy back.

Damn, those are definitely some tough ones! Powered Convoy QQ

One of the biggest purges was my Movie Trilogy collection, and I never really looked back on it. If I want to get back into collecting it, I'd probably start at the Human Alliance class and go from there.

I'd say I definitely miss ROTF Leader Optimus Prime and the lovely 2007 Takara bikes.

I also had to get rid of Bludgeon with the HR upgrades. Regretable, but alas, it just didn't really fit anywhere in my collection.

Mine was losing basically my whole G1 collection. I was only missing a few figures and I'd have had the whole of the cartoon cast up to and including the movie.

Biggest thing that stung were my seekers, because I love those things - a lot of them carried sentimental value and I'd gone through great pains to have an boxed set and was starting on a loose set so I could display them boxed and on my shelf.

Toys I'll be rushing to buy back given the chance - Ehobby Sunstorm, Ehobby Diaclone Magnus, Ehobby Road Rage, IGA Thundercracker.

The one toy I don't regret ditching was G1 Star Sabre. It was like a Gundam version of Powermaster Prime... with none of the appeal of it being Optimus Prime.

Great article!

I never sold off my stuff, but I wish I still had all of my TF's from growing up. I have managed to get most of the ones I had, but not all of them.

Maz, check your PM inbox.
Check out my collection!

You sold Shining Magnus? Damn man, your article on it is the sole reason I got inspired to buy one. Hope you can track it down again some day.

My buy-back regret: Botcon 2006 box set. Sold it in late 2008 for barely over $300. Ouch.

Buyers regret/sellers remorse is probably the worse part of the fandom.

God I love Shining Magnus.
