- Weapon: Ion Particle Blaster
Honestly, I don't know if I could name just one as the jewel. I would say I have a top 3. MP-10, ROTF Leader, and of course, G1. My G1 is the 2002 TRU Commemorative. I would say he was the hardest to acquire. It was the RID leader that brought me back into the Transformers universe, but that G1 commemorative was my first "hunt". I only heard about it by chance and immediately started calling every local Toys R Us until I found one in stock. Every memory of my childhood Transformers rushed through me when I got my hands on him and I've been hooked ever since.
At this stage of collecting, I am basically ahead of the game. I've covered an immense portion of any past releases. Anything new is generally easy to grab at retail if you have a great deal of patience. Any Asian market releases, I usually go through BBTS.com or wait for a good deal on Ebay. Due to demand and scalpers, etc., a deal on Ebay can take over a year to find but, again, it's all about the amount of patience you have.
Good luck with your collection. I'm glad you've enjoyed mine. Happy Thanksgiving!
Well, that's just Prime...
