Wow...just wow...that's a huge amount of Minicons! They look really great with that Fortress Maximus (or is Brave Maximus? I'm not very up on my Maximusis...Maximai...whatever the hell the plural is).

How long did it take for you to assemble that collection?

Either Brave Maxx is in repaint hell, or he has an infestation issue!?!

Sorry man, I couldn't help it.

Thanks for sharing though, seeing all the Mini's set up side by side like that is just mind boggling. I bought the Star Saber variants, and somehow I have triples of the speed team(?), but mini wise, one of each mold was enough.

Still it is intresting to see just how far they've been stretched.

Nice set up job, again I apreciate the grouping and the contrast that it gives, but do you have some pictures of some larger bots

Indeed it is Brave Max. I started collecting Mini-Cons when Armada hit the shelves, but only recently started to actively pursue them. The majority of that stuff was acquired in the past year.

Yea, but that stuff is boring:

By Primus....

1. Does anyone have the pic of the cat with it mouth open, and the caption, "It's too beautiful!"

2. Which Mini-con is under Brave's folding bay?

Those are the Giant Planet Mini-cons from Cybertron, well the green one is. The other one came with the Club exclusive Astrotrain.

I hate to be the one to tell you this, but modern medicine just can't fix what ails you. Mini-con addiction is serious people. Don't encourage the man, he needs serious help. (Catching them all)

Nice Minicons Counterpunch.
You did that to make me jealous :-P

I might have missed them, and probably did,
but it looks like your still missing a couple. Like the chromed dino
and Thunderclash repaints.
What's the orange saber?...and what's it gonna take to
assemble that Frost Saber?

Too right. That's why I go with ole' timey medicine: scotch

Mini-con addiction is serious people. Don't encourage the man, he needs serious help. (Catching them all)

Again right. It is serious. When I consider spending $30-50 on a single Micron (A repaint no less...)...serious business indeed.

There are definately some missing. I have not gotten Micron Booster 4 (or 1 for that matter :evil:

) yet. 4 is one set that I don't like. Too many of the figures are barely different from the Classics release to justify the cost.

What I AM missing, for which I would be eternally grateful to anyone who could help me out is:

-Micron Change Mach
-Wal-Mart Cybertron Bonus Tiny Tin Downshift and Mirage

I would bestow great favor on any who could help me out with those. (Marvel Legends, Clones, Minicons, something...)

The orange saber is the Fire Saber from Micron Legends. I think it was the X-Dimension repaint for that set.

Whoah, that's a lot of Minicons... I only have the Classics ones... For the size, I prefer Legends (especially from the Movie line).

Mini-Con collecting is evil, really, really evil.

I love how your bottom shelf is almost entirely redecos. The three T. Hawks made me laugh. :APPLAUSE:

And btw, that is a pretty neat minicon collection you have for yourself. Definitely unique.

There are only like, 200 of those Gray T.Hawks in existence.

He's absurdly rare. I got him on eBay, someon had listed him (accidentally I think) at $15. I bought it in the first 3 minutes it was listed.

Wow. Gotta love E-bay. How much does something like that usually go for?

Really hard to say. $15 was the MSRP. As there are so few out there, there is no previous sales data. I've seen people happily offer $75 for the brown Ken Variant which actually has a higher number of produced pieces.

Does your house have a warning sign CP? You know, one to stop stupid children coming in and choking themselves on your minicon collection?

The best way I have found to halt the want to collect Minicons is to hide them all away in a plastic tub, and then hide the tub away too. Minicons are strange in that they always look like they need more "friends" to be displayed with!

No, it's encouraged. You'd be surprised how well that works on certain forum members too.

Unfortunately, since the burglary, all my stuff is boxed up. It sucks. I hate it. Our place is too small till we move this year.

I took a night or two to bring out all the lil guys and set them up as I don't get to see any of my stuff for the time being.
