Small update on my next two display cases, looks like they have made it form KC to Springfield, which is about 20 mins from my house. Waiting on the call to set up a delivery date.

In the mean time, with the use of my Cricut Joy, I have finished up my first weapons organizer and decided to label the door that goes into the room. Might be a little cheesy, who knows might change it up latter. The faction symbol is the red/purple color. The Decepticon part may look black but its a darker version of the color.

The calm before the storm so to speak. Good news, my next two cases will be delivered on Wednesday. Provided there is no broken or cracked glass, it will be a good day.
With the photos, I have a gathering of my Mirage’s, with the other two just showing three totes and a “chewy box” of Transformers that will begin to fill the new cases, to include those laying around the totes. There is a few though that will have to wait on that final 5th case. For what you can see in the photos, that will be my MP line CW Devastator and Siege Galaxy Upgrade OP.
The ability to down size or empty out totes is nice. I started with 10 or so and I’m down to 5, with 3 of those being emptied on Wednesday.

If you where hit by the lastest weather system, I do hope you and your families are safe and that hopefully things will be getting better. I know for some it is going to be a long road to getting back to something that might feel normal. Thoughts and prayer to you!

Thank you for looking,

DUDE!!
That half and half faction symbol looks awesome!! I like the darker color for the Decepticon half.
The storage labels and lettering on the door are pretty sweet as well.

Hope the next display cases get set-up quickly and smoothly!

Thankfully it looks like the weather has turned a corner, at least here in MO.
Take care and be safe!!

My latest find and joining the ranks of my Armada line: Powerlinx Demolishor with his minicon Blackout. I had almost forgotten about this color variant until i was watching the Armada series. I hadn’t search too many places but only found a couple on Ebay and a snagged this one for a good price. Looks good with that i have in the case.

Here we go, two cases arrived and no broken glass, lol. The one photo is one case spread out in all it’s boxes in my garage. Then I have one of the two cases in my room. Then you will see the 3rd case filled up. That’s saying it mildly, as the bottom two areas are full. Now the 2nd shelf has some that are not part of the Cybertron line but because of the Cyber Key gimmick and their molds, I stuck them there.
The bottom shelf has a variety as well, from Universe, Classics, and Reveal the Shield, don’t think it looks bad.
Time to work on the next case which will have all the movies minus Bumblebee, we’ll see though.

Thank you for looking,

Things are coming together really nicely!

Update, 4th case has been filled (thats saying it lightly). I will have to mess with the lighting to get a better overall pic but you can see what is there (i hope). For the 4th shelf and bottom area, there are actually two lines. The 4th one has AOE and TLK, while the bottom area is Bumblebee movie and WFC/FOC.

Time to clean the doors and get them in place for both of these cases.

What I have left should fit in the final case once I get it.

As always, thank you for looking,

All those movie toys make me grin!

With the addition of Omega Supreme, I have a pretty good group photo, minus Predaking.

I had been looking for some pieces for my Armada Starscream. I needed a left wing and missiles. So when searching on Ebay, came across what actually was listed as “Thundercracker” but had pieces from Starscream. It had both missile launches, one missile, and both wings that actually belong to Starscream. I was able to win the bid for a low price and now, all i need is one more missile to make him complete. So you never know what you may find so be careful and read through the listings when searching for something. Some sellers, know what they have others don’t and will tell you.
Anyways, just cool to find some missing pieces for a low price.

Taking a moment to highlight what I have of the Loyal Subjects. I think the last time a majority of them where displayed was back in 2015 to 2016. Currently, they will remain in a box until I can gauge where I can display them again, perhaps. We will see.

As always, thank you for looking,

Awesome stuff!

My latest, which I bought this morning, Kingdom Dinobot and Inferno. Again, not that I have room but it’s something once you see the figure in person. I love the head sculpt of Dinobot. Again wasn’t plan on getting any of the “Beast Wars” figures but now I have Black Arachnid, Cheetor, Optimus Primal, and Dinobot.
With Inferno, wish some of the painted area was white instead of grey; giving him that more accurate G1 look, but will be interesting to see what Toyhax does, because he needs something. In addition, wish the “red” wasn’t so matte or flat looking but otherwise glad I bought him.

With the collection, I am almost there. I will be ordering the final case in a couple of weeks or so. I am actually down to one tote, which has some packaged transformers and loose ones. More so, random ones i have and not sure what I will do with them. IN a couple of boxes, I do have like my TR line set aside along with what I have of the MP line.
Today I took two photos of stuff I have in packages still sealed. I think one of the coolest is the Platinum Series UM from the T30 line. The other photo is a nice trio from FansProject, their take on the Insecticons.

TY for looking,

So I’ve been on the band wagon for Matrix Workshop upgraded weapons. My latest is for Mirage. I have a comparison of his original weapons who you can see are being maintained by CW Mirage. Then a line up of the upgraded weapons for Sideswipe and RedAlert. Of course the only minor issue with the missile launcher for Sideswipe, the white stands out as it is the NF version. Some carefully applied paint can fix that.
I also have on the way, the kit for Arcee, so we’ll see how that looks in person.

Enjoy and as always, thank you for looking.

Thank you D. It’s been great getting the collections to where it is at. Ive add aa few things on the wall but definitely excited once that final case comes. Then i will take some closer shots of each shelf.

A little patience pulled off. Manage to finally find Kingdom Megatron at a Walmart. So with that, a revised photo op of the gang. Still no Rattrap though. Looking forward to finding Airazor as well.

I’m loving it for sure!

VERY nice! I have had no luck finding BW Megatron, and went ahead and got Dinobot online (I HAD to have him!), and will do the same with Galvatron just to guarantee he comes home. The hunt seems dead for me in Oregon.

News Credits: 3 · by **SGMLordMirage** » Mon Mar 22, 2021 8:03 pm

Don’t feel bad, it seems the hunt in Springfield, MO is the same. I feel i just lucky finding BW Megatron.

News Credits: 3 · by **SGMLordMirage** » Mon Mar 22, 2021 8:06 pm

Alittle humor here; using Kingdom BW Megatron. I recently purchased Armada Rook and Crosswire that goes with Sideways. Using BW Megatron, he welcomed them into the collection, lol.
