Awesome and beyond awesome. I want the game NOW.

Target at VOA Park has a DOTM Space Case and Arcee clearence for $8.00 each on the end cap as of yesterday at 4:00pm.

Looking for 2 more Junk heaps as well.

You want 2 more? I don't know why... but as of yesterday, Elyria Target did in fact have 2 Junkies. Marshall's has 4! Count 'em, 4 Metallic Battle Ops Bumbles. I don't know why the Mrs. didn't let me get one, I think it's cause there'll be one under the tree for Christmas, if you ask me.... LOL

Heck ya i want two more! i have one already and one more to open and another for MISB and the same for Black Shadow. Since this is the last two for the Gen-line, i thought these might be worth something in the future, so thats why i need two more and JH looks good with Wreck-Gar.

Hey Stell, if this is accurate and correct, this is a great wish list! but my attention went waaay up when i saw Knockout and Skyquake on the list. AWESOME!

Well, THANKS A LOT YOU GUYS!!! I mean, I was all ready to hunt for the upcoming DOTM line and whatnot... Now I have a WHOLE NEW LIST to get going on!!!! My walls in my hallway are already full! Where am I gonna put all these?! You tell me. Y'all are gonna have to buy me a house or something... that's all there is to it.

Same here, Have high hopes for Soundwave and Wheeljack is amazing, and have plans for 3 Vehicon's for a nice tri pose.


Lucius Prime, I donno what to tell you, my girlfriend and I live in a 1 bedroom apartment and making do so far, just now filling up under my desk, I have up all my shelf space for her massive book & DVD/BlueRay collection ~.~ so I only get the top of my book shelf but if I get this job with AT&T Corp then I will have my own desk at work to have some out.

So, I know I'm new and all, would like to get to know you all better so had a few questions.

1. How old are you all? (Have a feeling I might be the youngest)

2. Do you guys keep your figures in package or you open them and display them or buy two to have displayed and one in package?

3.And what got you guys into collecting Transformers to begin with?

Thank you all for your time and speak to you guys later.
Wolf Out.

Ditto on high hopes for Soundwave and Que/Wheeljack. TFW was reporting them as coming out on Saturday, so that means Lima will get them sometime next June.

Steller--welcome to the boards. You're in good hands with the rest of our Ohio crew. My answers:

1) I'm almost 37.
2) I display them out of the box, both at home and a few at my desk at work.
3) My mother brought me my first three TF's back in '84--Brawn, Rumble, and Ravage, and I was hooked. Brawn got broken years and years ago, but I still have Rumble and Ravage.

Hey Stellerwolf, welcome to Seibertron my friend, anything you want to know about Transformers, this is the place to be.

And to answer your questions

I'm 35 years old

My vintage Transformers are wrapped up in bubble wrap and stored in plastic containers and newer stuff i have some thats not opened for more than 3 or 4 years and most of the Transformers 2.0, RTS and Gen-line and 3rd party are in glass display cases from Ikea.

I use to be very heavy into Starwars, but still always liked Transformers, but when i saw the first live action movie of Transformers, that changed me 200%! I still collect Starwars from time to time and as well with GI Joe too, but im die hard on Transformers though. But im not much into the DOTM at the moment, something about the design and the new plastic that their made out of feel very cheap to me and not like Junk heap or Sky Shadow. JH and SS feels like better quality made plastic compare to DOTM figures, but it could be me though, i took the low road before when the Transformers the movie came out in 2007 and collected everything possible and the same with ROTF. I'll never make that mistake again, and strictly sticking with G1 figures and homages thats it! Sorry to rattle on there.

Nice to meet you both Doctor Reggae & Stockade.

As for me,

1. I'm 27 year old.

2. So far I have most out of package, have a few doubles but most are out, when my girlfriend and I moved in at the start of this year I did not have enough room to store every thing I had in package so while I'm at work (Work at a vender center taking AT&T Mobility Tech calls fixing people phone issues) I'll take one in a day and open it, transform it back and forth while on calls and learn it, some call them my dork Rubik's Cube and for now I put away in boxes due to not having any real shelf space to put any thing on.

3. I was born before the show had come out and I literally grew up with them, they were on all the time, had so many of the toys growing up which I really wish I had them all still, sadly all I have is my G1 Wheely.

I agree most of the movie figures are very cheep, mostly from the ROTF like, just the plastic felt like the really cheep KO's, as for the DOTM figures I like more of them, only issue I have is the lack of paint detail on them really does make them look worse then some OK's too, BUT that gives me a chance to paint them in and add my own detail to them.

Small update on findings, nothing big at Targets other then voyager's being $9.99. TRU in Niles had Transformer Primes Arcee's (2 left), Starscream (2 left) and Bumblebee's (5 left) in stock, Also Generations 2 Sky Shadows, I was reaching up and round the top shelf and found 3 Junkheaps that some one was trying to hide so I put them all on the front pegs and by the time I was leaving I saw two of them all ready being taken up to be bought for the persons kids so that made me happy today. I'm all for collecting but not the hiding of them, not fair for others or the kids cause at the end they are still toys, toys are meant to be played with.

Any ways I'm off, getting some figures ready to take with me to the park tomorrow since we do not have any snow still to get some nice pictures of them in a live environment.

Also a small side note I dunno if any of you have Facebook but I was also thinking of making a Transformers Ohio collectors group on there too, let me know if they may be a good Idea and if any of you like to add me on Facebook please send me a message with your name that way its not public if you don't want any one else to have it.

Once again, Happy hunting all.
Wolf out.

I'd be fine with an FB group. Especially if it helps us network with other collectors in our respective areas.

The FB group is a great idea, but one draw back and that is i dont have a FB account and i cant access it at work and FB thing is really not my thing if you will. I think the best way to keep in contact is on here either through sightings or through a PM's. This is my thought about it and it would be really cool and meet up once a month for lunch or dinner set and chat and get to meet everyone on here

Oh, man! That would be so cool to meet up once a month or something! I would love that! I do have a FB account, but I could set up another one for Lucius Prime for connection. As for my findings, I picked up a Cyberverse Shockwave from Elyria WM. TRU refilled their Primes, but the only one I found was BB. My wife's crazy wanting Arcee, but I have yet to find her. That's all for the new.
Okay, on to the questionaire:
1) I am 29 and happily married for 10 years in May.
2)My Transformers are opened and played with. Yes, I said played with. I can admit it LOL But I open the boxes with a razor oh, so carefully, and then when I'm done with it, I put it back in the box with the ties and all... looks like I never opened it! I do have a R.I.D. Rodimus that's never been opened.
3) I had heart surgery in 1985, and the way they got me out of bed to walk around for the first time was they told my that there was a Transformer in the room for me, but I had to get up and look for it.... It was G1 Inferno. Of course over time it got played with and broke. But when the Commemorative came out at TRU, I got that one, and it's still in the box. That's where it all started... Oh, and TF: The Movie was the first movie my mom took me to in the theatre.

hey, transformers prime in toys r us in Cuyahoga Falls. my friend got starscream there. saw it myself. it has been a week since he got it so i dont know what is there.

1) i am 17 gonna be 18 in a few days

2) i always open my transformers. i collect toys not boxes.

3) the first transformer my mom got me got me into it. first one i got was terrorgator from beast wars fuzors. love that toy. ^_^

Hey guys, i was out over 9hrs on Saturday shopping and didnt seeing any new Prime figures anywhere, hopefully their not a TRU exclusive, if so, then i wont be buying any. Im hoping after the first of the year, everyone will be doing isle resets and making room for the new Prime figures coming out.

Sorry to be off topic, but how about a meeting with everyone, once a month, just to chit-chat and have lunch or dinner and talk Transformers and other interests? Im game for it.

yeah, i am. why not? we should all meet at a store or something. make it easy on finding each other.

I'll make the get-togethers on occasion when I can. We'd have to start figuring out when and where the first one would be. Dayton, maybe?

Doc and Doubledealer, Of course let all of us get pass the holidays and the new year and then we need to set a date, time and place to meet. Then if we need to rotate what cities to meet thats fine too or come up with a centralized location for everyone. Just for thought, i think it should be on Saturdays only, but if whomever has to work, just PM whos not coming to let them know, but if not enough people cant make it, then we have to re-schedule for the next time. I think this is a great idea to meet everyone on here and just to have fun, talk about Transformers or anything really, and to have good friends.

1. 16!! (young I know but I'm not some new movie guy)

2. I most defiantly open them up. Toys need to be played with, though I do have a couple figures in the box, such as generations red alert, I have the mold already soo not too much need to open him, I also keep my RTS legends in the box but they have been opened.

3. I had a friend in first grade that introduced me to armada, and I loved it. I've been a huge fan ever since.

Well not much to report, but still looking for another junk Heap (x2) and Sky Shadow for my Gen-line collection. This DOTM movie stuff is getting old and they need to be discounted and moved out of inventory of every store! Hasbro needs to get the lead out and start coming out with something new and not movie related.

Hey Stock,
I think the best bet if you are still looking for Junk Heap are Target stores right now. I found one at the Target in Beavercreek and another one at the Wal-Mart in Beavercreek. But seems like Target is getting newer inventory out quicker right now. I'll let you know if i come across anymore. Know anyone that has an extra RTS Wreck-gar?
Later

Hey guys, sorry I been gone for a bit, last weekend was spent doing Christmas with my sister then brother in laws family in Butler PA, got my foot mashed so was only able to limp around for the last few days so between all the extra time spent at work and started to play Zelda: Ocarina of Time Master Quest with my foot up just been lost and get to drive up to Mentor tomorrow to my girlfriends family so nothing to report sittings wise.

I got a TF: DOTM Nitro Bumblebee from my girlfriend today. Not to bad of a mold but I started to take a look at some of my spare peaces and parts, then found an extra head to the PCC's Huffer when he's combiner mood and placed in on the body, does not look bad, planing on getting some gold paint and maybe trying to make a movie version of Goldbug. I'll add a pic at the bottom of the post.

As for getting together, ya lets wait till the new year and see what we can do,hopefully find a place that's a nice distance for all us.

Also its nice to meet you Anikenxvader, welcome to the group, I'm still new my self but have found theses guys to be great and very welcoming.

Anyways all, I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas, do not forget to check out David Kaye's Beastwars Megatron Xmas at http://youtu.be/0avVLnSGFZU
