Figures or sets You just know you'll never get!?

Feel free to discuss anything about any of the thousands of Transformer toys here. Anything from Generation 1 all the way to the soon to be released, the never to be released or the hope to be released is fair game! Want to show off your stuff? Please post your's and see others in the Transformers Collections Forum.

I know I missed the boat on a lot of figures the first time around, and I've been playing catch up, which is more costly, but I'm also no longer making that mistake.

Remember, you've got to pay to play.

Although, there have been two sets of Microns in the last month that I just couldn't commit to spending what I should have spent to win them. I made some assumptions about how much a set would sell for, and I assumed poorly. I sniped and it just wasn't enough. I'll know for next time, and I will apply a suitably ridiculous amount of money to them to win.

That's my dog! I did this with the Shattered Glass figures. While it hurt every time, I knew it was the only way to get them anymore. My goals aren't ridiculous really. Except for maybe FansProject's Cliffjumper kit and Natobot's Roadbuster kit. Apparently both are made of pure gold and diamonds. The Roadbuster kit pisses me off because I had an order in and was never contacted.

Two lucky draw figures that I really want: 1) RiD Blackfire Convoy. 2) Lucky Draw Armada Megs.

The only auctions I've seen were of Blackfire and I just didn't have the $1500 for it at the time. I was close to, but it was gone within a few weeks. Was just working on saving up for him.

No figure will ever be out of my reach as long as I can locate the figure and when I do I have the funds. Just a couple weeks ago I crossed the point of no return from casual G1 collector to elite collector. I bought the Headmaster warriors Rodney and Loafer and a MIB W-Cassette Saur (Zaur). At that point I realized it's just a matter of time until I finish my collection. It may take 10 years, but it'll happen.

Oh, and to anybody that has several thousand dollars in TFs, make sure you have a rider on your insurance policy. I have a good amount of coverage and it only costs another $50 a year on to my current policy.

Wow, they were going for $500-$700 about two years ago. That's inflation for you.

LD Megs is pretty. I love the neon green. I would absolutely pair him with the Micron Booster Green Sea Team.
