Your welcome,, those GTR are getting hard to find and for a reasonable price, so to speak.. Meaning not like some of the crazy prices I’ve seen.. That boat has pretty much sailed though for me trying to acquire them.. I remember back when they came out, i was thinking about it but time and not pursuing them got the best of me.

Thats good to hear about the Terrorcon CJ. Had to chuckle about the BOTCON G2 Clench. Before i was able to go to an actual event, which was 2014, i would try to buy select ones after they were released during the conventions. Unfortunately, for 2010, i was returning from Afghanistan and was in Germany. But after trying to buy past ones, Clench and Spark would be my favorite to add to my BOTCON/TFCC shelf.

Again, congrats, always love your photos,

Thanks again, SGM. The completionist in me wouldn’t mind picking up Safety Prime from the GTR line if I ever came across him for a decent price, but I am not even close to actively hunting him.

The BotCon figures are so spendy now! I appreciate that Hasbro has tried releasing some of those exclusives as Generations Selects or what have you, but sometimes the originals are simply better. I’m sure they may do a Terrorcon CJ in the new mold, but I like the original TF Prime figures. Same thing with Animated — they had unique molds and silhouettes. Generations is truly now delivering what I always wanted it to do (updates with modern articulation!), but the collector in me oftens prefers the originals. Maybe it’s the Geewunner in me lol

Your welcome as always bodrock, you are right about those BotCon releases. Hell, i wouldnt mind to pick up one or two form the Subscription series, but dang the prices, even loose. I will say with all mine that i actually bought from the event or TFCC, i ended up throwing out boxes, so luckily the prices are still staying up there.
I agree about the Prime and Animated. Again, while in Germany i had bought quite a few from the Animated line but decided to sell them.. I do regret that at times.
I also hear you about the Geewunner, lol. I am still trying to finish up some missing stuff and weapons to make my G1 collection more complete. It’s not a lot, however, it seems to be the most expensive weapons to buy lol.

You have a good week,

SGM

I still need Star Saber and Megatron, those GTRs are really cool things!

Yeah, D-Max! They are such beautiful cars, and the line isn’t very large so getting them all isn’t too difficult.

I got some Cons together for a pic the other day, after I branded them as Decepticons! It just happens to be my Transformers Victory crew — and all of them are third-party! I do love MMC. Fansproject’s Dinoking is also great, as I never see owning the original Transformers.
