I haven't owned a transformer since I was 12 or 13 years or age. I'm 37 now and just six months ago I walk into a local retail store and just happened to walk by the TF toy section and what catches my eye? Leader class Ironhide and Human Aliance Barricade! I was amazed how far Transformers have come! Where was I? How did I miss all the advancement through the years? I guess the 50 hour work weeks, The ladies and my love for cars and racing blinded me. I last owned a little more than a dozen G1 Transformers before I turned teen. I'm not sure what else I purchased that day but both of these Transformers went home with me that day. Present day, just six months from that flashback purchase, $5000.00 plus dollars later, I have an incredible Transformers collection that runs across the vast generations of Transformers toys, that I have enjoyed collecting, transforming, working on those epic poses and just the simple excitement of coming home to the surprise packages. But I have to cut it short fast due to my drained play funds. With the exception of a few missing here and there I'm content with my new found collection. I might pick up where I left off when the new line begins to release. By then my play funds will be replenished. God willing... I have yet to build or purchase and type of display area so my current collection is against a wall in my basement. I plan to use a large walkin closet down there as a display area sometime soon. Yes, it's to the ceiling and 3'-4' deep. lol
