Just what I used to have and am trying to rebuild I have to say having an unbroken Roadblock and Monstuctor was a personal holy grail. I have more pics to post later a lot is not shown such as beast wars and micromasters Unfourtunatly as most young new parents I sold 9/10ths of my collection to bigbad and Wheeljacks lab

You had some nice stuff mate, but you gotta do what you gotta do. I spy some Road Ceaser there also. Nice.

Looks like you had some nice stuff, but I understand having to sell them. My wife found out she was pregnant last month (we were trying, so it wasn't a big surprise). When I found out, I decided to refocus my collection and sell off all the figures I didn't display/want anymore to put into the kids savings account. I'm in the process of selling off about 900 figures and keeping 250.

It sucks that you sold off so much of the collection that you actually WANTED though. I decided to focus on MP's, exclusive figures, and select 3rd party figures. That means I've all but cut out retail figures completely. It really feels quite liberating walking through Wal Mart and not feeling any desire to take a stroll down the toy aisle. :DANCE:

Well here's some of my current collection now that child #2 is here. I'll post more of the packaged stuff and others later. In deciding what I was going to sell I decided to keep ( at the time) the best representation of the G1 cast and any toy that had a special place from my childhood such as the Decepticon Military Patrol, Longtooth, And Sideswipe

You know, the fact that your kid plays along with you with part of your own collection reminds me how this hobby should be. Well played. :APPLAUSE:

the thing about him playing with transformers is he never thinks there's a bad toy. it's kind of nice like when Blitzwing came out all he could say was "it makes a jet and a tank? cool!" while I was in the isle talking to my fiancée about all horrible troubles that mold seems to have. he didn't see any flaws just a real cool toy to him

Santa was great this year and got me the following the only instuctions were that I share metroplex with my son.

Image

I haven't open Omega Supreme yet because we've been busy with metroplex. Being as it's almost as tall as Ethan I can only imagine a kid getting Fortmax in 86' was similar he hasn't put him down much and at 3 the simplicity of him he can almost do most modes himself.

What do these 2 parts do next to the helipad?

More fun
