Hey im new here, and just wanted to say hello, and show some pictures of my collection. I just started collection a few months ago, but iv got some good figures so far.. Right now i have Generations deluxe "Kup" and WFC Megatron on the way in the mail.. And iv got FOC Shockwave preordered, whom im really excited about, Shockwave is my favorite transformer, but iv never had a figure of him before..

I look foward to getting to know everyone.. :grin:

Welcome to Seibertron! You have a great collection there, but this probably belongs in the Collections Forum and not the general TF Toy Forum.

ah crap! Sorry about that.. Any mod feel free to move it.. I dont see a forum for collections.. Just this one for toys..

No problem. The link to it used to be on the toys forum page at the top but it's since been removed and made into it's own thing altogether. I think it actually confuses a lot of people, understandably.

Nice collection so far! This brings me back to when I first started collecting just a few favorite characters.

Now I have too many! #-o

lol, i know what you mean.. My original intention was just to get a few to display on my computer desk.. Next thing you know i have 25 of them.. lol.. I started off just collecting the small legends figures.. Picked up little G1 optimus, megatron, and starscream.. Then it just kinda went from there..

I REALLY want to get a couple of the masterpiece figures. I heard a new masterpiece optimus is coming soon, so ill be on the hunt for that. And i really really want Rodimus, as hes my favorite Autobot, and i just love that figure. And naturally i want Starscream. I wish they would make a masterpiece Shockwave, that would be awsume..

But probably like alot of you, im a child of the 80's.. I had tons of the original G1 transformers when i was a kid. But my parents threw them all away.. Oh well, lol..

Thanks for the welcome. Sorry i posted in the wrong spot..

Haha yeah I got sucked in when I saw Alternators and the first MP Prime (20th Anniversary) on the shelf. I had to have it! And it went pretty fast from there... lots of G1 Reissues, bunch of Energon, and then I was following pretty closely, almost lost interest at the end of Cybertron but got sucked right back in when Classics came along.

MPs are great! Definitely go for the new Prime when he comes out (I am too), and Rodimus is really cool too. A little bit frustrating to put into car mode, but still great. He's one of my favorite Autobots as well. No interest in Grimlock? I have to say I'm pretty happy with him as well. Great G1 aesthetic. Starscream is good but I would get the MP-11 Coronation Starscream over the first one, or wait for a Hasbro release of MP-11.

I think a lot of us lost childhood TFs... all of mine are broken or lost and some were thrown out by my grandparents (my parents knew better)... but they were all incomplete anyway, it just gives me inspiration to start again!

Hi Bones420, welcome to Seibertron! I left this in the TF toy forum for a while so it would get more traffic, but now it's relocated to the Collection subforum. Nice looking collection!

Welcome, and nice collection BTW.

Found a nice spot for him next too Hot Rod.. Never knew Kup was so damn tall! lol.

Kinda wish his "backpack" would go down a bit farther.. The hinge has these little catches on it that prevents it from going down more.. Maby ill file those down so i can drop it lower. I also kinda dont like the large empty gap above his feet where his shins would be.. My only two complaints, otherwise not a bad figure for $7
