Your TF and Collecting History
Posted: Sun Jan 07, 2018 6:57 am
I've been thinking of starting a thread like this for awhile and haven't seen an established one yet, kind of like a get to know your fellow Sibertronians topic.
I've thought of a few basic questions as starters and we'll see where things go from there. Feel free to add any other good questions as we go. If the thread stays strong and active, I'll try to edit the initial post to add any other good questions, but certainly elaborate on whatever you feel necessary to accurately describe your collecting habits.
Feel free to answer each question individually, in groups, or all in one big run-on sentence, whatever works for you.
I'm assuming most of us fell in love with TF's as a child and are currently collecting as adults, so my questions are assuming this. If you don't fit this description, just answer the best you can.
So without further ado, here we go: I'll put my answers in the first reply on this thread.
1) When did you first fall in love with transformers and how long did it last? Basically what was your very first entry point into the franchise, and how long did you stay interested as a kid prior to collecting as an adult. (I'm totally jealous of anyone that never stopped from childhood to adulthood.)
2) What brought you back into collecting? Assuming you stopped at some point in your childhood and came back as an adult, what was it that pulled you back in?
3) What are your current collecting preferences? What lines are you into, what lines just aren't for you? What is most important to you on a particular toy (character, transformation, deco, etc.)
4) What is your current favorite toy/figure? I know it is nearly impossible, but try to narrow it down to 1 if you can. I would completely consider things like boxed sets as a single item, so there is a sort of built in cheat there.
5) Which figure is "the one that got away"? I mean the figure you passed on initially or sold off, or maybe even missed out on if you weren't collecting, and now regret not pulling the trigger, keeping it or hunting one down.
6) Where is the most unexpected place you bought a transformer?
