Thanks Skywarp for your friendly Comments....It feels good to finally show it off. It kinda sucked keeping it all to myself. I mean, what's the point of having a Collection if you don't show it off for everyone to enjoy

Very nice displays.

It's so odd to me, that as I look through your stuff, I ponder on just how much time it took me to open all of those things.

I think I have all of what you showed, minus or plus a few things here or there, our collections are very similar. But as I look the boxes...wow. It's a totally different perspective.

Don't keep it to yourself dude, collecting is a shared art.

Great collection Dave, it must take years of efforts to build this. Just curious, for the ones made by Hasbro, did you get most of them from chains like TRU/Target/Wal-Mart, or some special stores near you?

Yeah I bought all the Hasbro's at local stores. A couple of the Botcon Exclusives I got in person at the conventions. The japan stuff came from BigBadToyStore.

So I sent my wife this thread saying "at least I'm not DavidT" in an attempt to get her to quit insulting me, and she's like "oh, this guy has an apple cookie jar just like us"...and i said "that's me". Doomed to be persecuted.

Wow!! I would love for DavidT to be interviewed next!!! Seems like a super interesting dude...along with many other just like him on this forum.

OOOOHHHHHHHHH Im so coming to your house!!! Very Very nice collection!! I want all the MISB ones Please!! I have Amex...

I also like the shelves. I must know where to find them. Think I want to do my collection just like yours! I dont have as many as you but still like to do it that way. Very nice!

I've has a dozen or so girls in the toy room and so far only one was like "this is weird".

I also have a Hotwheels room that's almost as impressive

I bought all the shelves (White and Glass) from Lowes.

Oh yeah, It doesn't take long to get this many Transformers. I've purchased 90% of them in the last 2 years

My good God Dave. That is by far the most impressive collection of TF's my eyes have ever had the pleasure of seeing. It, it.......was beautiful *sobs*. I'm sorry, its just as if I looked upon the gates of Heaven. Thanks for that man.

BTW, is that a Lucky Draw Jazz I see????

these are the pics that rock my world the most!!!

Now you finally see the glory that is MISB!! Muahhahahahaahhah

Man, MISB is so nice but its so tempting to rippem outta the package and display them.

About half of my extremely meager collection is MISB. I really cant afford to buy TF's but I do when I can.

Plus I'm missing the 100+ MISB Transformers I've sold. Most of those were Cybertron figures and Alternators, Reissues

My wife thinks Im insane cause I said I want a house with a big garage that will be my sanctuary. For my lil house gym and my beloved Transformers.

I gotta get one of those G1 reissue Primes. It was my first major TF I ever owned, it has nostalgic value more than anything for me.

I'd like to go shopping at your toy store.

Get one of the Encore reissues while they are still cheap. They are close enough to the original to make you happy.

No alternator swerve? Did anybody find a swerve in the wild (a la the store)?

I actually just sold that sucka last week

Those are displayed verey nicely.

i usualy dont like lookning at big collections, but i think yours are shelved nicely and would be very easy to take a walk around the room and see everything.

Now, as always, i must ask, care to tell us what field you are employed in? lol

OK, so there are what, about 60k different Hot Wheels cars? That'd be pretty rough to do. I bet a ton of tracks in a room would be awesome, though.

While I don't have any tracks... I do have Hotwheels in the thousands sealed, displayed on the walls

Thanks so much for sharing David, your collection is just so overwhelming. Browsing your MISB collection is like dreaming a dream, walking into a toy store full of Transformer toys, no empty shelves with pegs, no price tags, no competition shoppers.

I like your TF room's red/purple paint scheme, really brings out the spirits. What I liked the most was your shelving systems were so simple (I see those white wire shelves are fully adjustable in height), yet highly effective with no space wasted.

I'm glad you have a good number of toys loosen out for play/display, especially those Alternators. Gosh seeing your collection makes me wanna go MISB too. Again thanks for sharing your collection & I'm looking forward to seeing more.

Cheers!
