I've been thinking about posting this for a couple of years, but I kept putting it off because (1) I don't really like blowing my own horn and (2) I also kept thinking it wasn't the "right" time. I didn't have the collection "ready" as I wanted it, either in contents or presentation. Well, I've finally realized that day won't come; the room will always be in flux. I'm missing a few prized pieces from long ago that I had to sell for bills - Galaxy Shuttle, original Soundblaster, MISB G1 Grimlock autographed by Gregg Berger, MISB G1 Thundercracker autographed by John Stephenson, e-Hobby Hauler and animation colors Astrotrain - but I've just gotten back my e-Hobby Sunstorm so I decided to go for it. This isn't in any particular order, and the room is cramped so camera focus is fuzzy in a lot of shots and angles are a bit wonky, but you'll get the idea. And before anyone asks, I display in alt mode for two reasons. One, it saves space. Two, Transformers are "Robots in Disguise".

That looks really really tidy, and I love the centre furniture piece!
Pretty impressive set-up and collection.

Thank you. I feel keeping this mess organized helps a long way towards visitors not seeing all this as "childish".

Wow, that's a really nice collection!

Thanks!

Late breaking addition: I received this in an email from Michael McConnohie for donating to his ALS walk. Actually, I told him it wasn't necessary to give something in return, and he replied: "Well, I feel it is, and since I'm me, I win."

That is the most impressive collection/presentation I've seen on here.

Really, really cool.

Thanks for the compliments, but you haven't seen GetRightRobot's room, have you?

Just did.. that **** is insane.

I love the fact that you spent time and $ on the presentation. That alone is worth its weight in gold. As for your collection...I don't think their are words for this, but dumbfounded is as close as i can get, lol. I do my best to have a decent presentation in order to show others that this is a passion of mine and not childish thing.

Thanks. Sometimes when I stop to think of just what I spent in shelves and brackets I wonder what possessed me to do this.

It must have been Starscreams spark must have possessed you.

More likely it was Grapple's spark. "But why can't we do it?!" Maybe if I had Huffer grumbling over my shoulder instead I would have scaled back.

You are a transformers collecting god

Well, thanks, but I'm not so sure about that. A wood nymph, maybe. But a god?

Happy birthday to me.
