Bumping a thread that I almost entirely alone populate: I forgot to post a photo from a couple of months ago, courtesy of megatronus (and Dan Khanna, the artist)!

And today, a Jack Lawrence original!

I never realized there was this thread.

Here is my comic art haul from a little while ago with another to come soon

I got this original 1986s "print" (A4 poster) in the post yesterday. Very happy with it. Its actually framed with metal and has proper glass, too.

^That is super rad! Gotta love that painted coloring, it has aged extremely well.

It has taken about three months, but my TF UK collection has gone from 0 issues to 320 out of 332 singles (including everything from 28 - 295), as well as all the Annuals. Still need about a dozen Collected Comics/Specials but a good chunk of those are 1992 or later ones and the secondary market is a bit too high on those for my tastes.

Its aged brilliantly. It was also one of those items I just had to have the moment I saw it. Bargain for £11 posted.

And those seasonal Specials were like golddust in the early 90s to begin with. Which doubly sucked as they were pretty much my only source of G1 comics. I remember getting the Special with "City of Fear" inside and thinking Flame was the most badass evil guy ever. I always wanted to paint my G1 Galvatron orange afterwards...

Yeah it's hard to plunk down $50 plus international shipping on something that's a reprint of something I've probably got at least two versions of, if not more! Heck I only started on TF UK like this to get the stretch from Time Wars through Earthforce that hasn't been published in the IDW collections, just had some offers for very large lots that were too good to pass up!

You also now have the rather gorgeous cover arts to admire, too. Some of those could make some seriously good framed mini posters, too.

Just bought a random (blind enveloped) Transformers The Movie 35mm film cel in a keyring off Spacebridge, so I'll post a pic when it arrives.

I didnt really understand, how did you get it and are other blind envelopes available?

I got it off a Facebook group. Someone from the Spacebridge website had made 50 of them with different bits of the reel and put them in blank envelopes so nobody argued over which one they got.

Yesterday was a good day. I got a G1 Wheeljack in good condition for £17,too... :SMUG:
