You have to get RID Prime, he is awesome, plus you can give Classics Cliffjumper his little handblaster.

Yeah, he's a great figure as well. But he needs legs as pose-able as Prime's.

I found RID Magnus disappointing. Robot mode sacrifices too much for the combined Omega Prime. Worth owning if you have Prime, not sure he'd be worth it on his own.

Naah, that's just the Animated/New Classic/Universe shelves. (Plus a few other recent buys)

It's prob about an eighth of it. (Not counting a wardrobe full of MISB doubles of random newer figures/lines that were bought in clearance sales!!)

A lot have been packed away while I (slowly) redecorate. I'll pop a couple more pics up in a mo.

I actually think the Animated toys are great for the most part. Plus they have been on offer a hell of a lot, so have been easier on the wallet.

although i have fallen down that hole, as most of my movie stuff is sales stuff, otherwise would never of considered buying the stuff

i love my encore, i so want e-hobby guardian but the price for that is ridiculous

So many questions!

wow your collection is Fiiin amazing? when did you start collecting?

Had a load of early/mid G1 stuff from when I was younger including (good condition)boxed Metroplex, Soundwave, and Superion Giftset. Last one bought back then was prob a triggerbot.
Then nothing till early 2005. The rest have been bought since then.
No pics, but got all the seekers/cars from G1, with most accesories. And most MicroMaster bases/transports with a load of figs


god i want your G2 rotorstorm, and your perceptor


Yeah, I like the Rotorstorm fig, one of the better one's from that time. If I can find it, I've got a spare one that you can have for a fiver delivered. Just the figure though, ok condition if I recall.

whts your job?

****. But usually plenty of overtime or shifts, which make the pay a bit more respectable. I drive a VNA (Very Narrow Aisle) truck, in which the cab goes up 10m! You have to be trained in abseiling to drive one!

Image

Image

how much do you spend a year?

Too much/wouldn't like to know/have no idea!!

have i ever told you i luv you? :roll: more your collection

lol, you toy whore!

eidt: whts your rarest?

Nothing super rare.

Some of my more uncommon figs (in UK at least)
Overlord with powermasters and gun, but no accs.
Brave Max complete MIB.
Reflector, just missing missiles.
Roadbuster complete (bar radar thingy).
Whirl.
Predaking just missing some guns/swords.
Swoop, Mint but no sword/only one missile.
Combiner cassettes.

When I first started up again, it was only 'cus I looked on eBay and saw the prices that some sold for. The plan was to just buy bits to complete what I had and then sell 'em when the Movie came out.
It went a bit wrong.

Started buying G1 figs I didn't have.
Picked up the odd Armada/Energon fig that was on clearance.
Then started on the bloody Micromasters.
Cybertron came out with some cool looking figs, so I bought a few of 'em.
Started buying other A/E/C figs off ebay.
Discovered Alts.
Then the swines brought out the Classics. Sold.
Got a few re-issues from TRU
Bought the Rodimus Tit and most others since.
When the Movie finally arrived, just couldn't bring myself to part with 'em.
Just bought most of the figures instead!!

I got a £10 Voyager Prime from Tesco, very heroic looking figure. Worth £10 certainly, not sure if the Vehicle mode is big enough for £20.
