I'm a relatively new member here. I was gonna post my collection but my wife and I relocated so unpacking has been taking up most of my time. It's all here right now...
***
Mostly G1 but many a Beast Wars, a few Generations FOC, and a few Prime. Just as soon as I unpack I'll show off what I have.

***EDIT***
Don't know what happened to a lot of the pics in the next few posts but scroll down for my growing Masterpiece collection

Ok I did some unpacking still have a long ways to go with planning the setup but here's what I got so far.

Ya it's a bit of a Decepticon theme so far but my Autobot G1's will emerge soon. Or rotate in a while.

BIG UPDATE! posed some of my Prime/BW in a sad spot for now. Still have some BW to unpack which will probably stay in storage for a while :sad:

I have, however, got more from the Generations lineup and have put them up for display. Really liking the Generations series, easy to maneuver and at great prices. Camera seems to have problems with clear focus. Time for a new one.

Yes, that is Orion Pax defeated right next to Optimus lol.

Well I finally decided to go for it and get me a Metroplex. Found two at TRU in Fullerton, CA, so now they only have one left. I thought Skorponok was big, this guy dwarfs him. He's really cool and a lot more stable than from what I've seen on some video reviews. Plenty of detail and his colors are very nice. My metroplex has a problem where I can't get his red eye lens to stay up. maybe mine is faulty but it's not an overall big deal to me. I haven't decided yet whether I want to apply his decals yet, I'm leaning towards "no" for now.
Anyways, here are some pics...

You can see that my G1 only goes to his knee and Skorponok goes half way up his thigh.

and just for fun...

Well I finally made my first Masterpiece purchase and I couldn't be happier. TRU MP02 Soundwave is proudly being displayed in the dinning room china cabenet. I can't wait to see my wife's reaction when she says, "Where did that come from?"
anyways here are a couple lousy cell pics just after opening it.

And here's my current Soundwave collection minus my Generations FOC Voyeger Class, he's in his box right now. My next soundwave will be from animated.

The Masterpiece Bug has spread throughout me...
Just picked it up for an awesome black friday deal at TRU and best part about it is that I woke up at 7am walked in at 8 and there was no crowds.

Thanks, Soundwave is my favorite figure out of them all, doesn't matter from what era, he always the coolest toy for me.
And here's what I'm getting for Xmas....problem is I won't be able to open them until the 25th.

So the Masterpiece bug has spread more than ever, here's what I have now

And I just received Megatron a few days ago, he sure is big.

One problem I have on Megs is that his cannon arm doesn't latch on to his shoulder, almost as if the connecting tabs are different sizes. anyone else had this problem? and recommendations?

2 months since my last update. Here's what I've been up to:
(Sorry, I swear my camera skills are getting a bit better)

My two absolute favorite molds:

Finally completed the Datson Collection:

This nut case came in a couple days ago. Now all I need is Red Alert to complete the Lambo's:

Went to Ikea to get a Detolf case, my wife then convinced me to get a larger display case. The plan was to put MP's and Chug in this case but it turns out my calculations were off and am going to need another one...which I really don't mind. However, now I'm thinking I'll get 2 Detolf's for the MP's so onlookers can see all around the figures and I can use this larger one for my G1, BW, and CHUG models. Anyways, here are some poor snapshots of it.
