I'm interested to see what other members are currently working on in their collections. I myself am cleaning up my old G1's that I've rescued from my parent basement. I just finished cleaning Predaking last night. Now he just needs reprolabels.

So what is everyone else doing?

Played around with my Cybertron Collection and Classics Collection and eagerly awaiting my orders of MP-04 and MP-05...

I'm thinking of getting a glass case for my G1s that are in crates in my closet. Don't worry, they were placed in the crates carefully, I didn't just toss them in there. 8)

What are you working on in your collection?

I just spent yesterday putting new stickers on my Crossblades, upgrade stickers on Goldbug & Chase, and then anime stickers on Onslaught, Soundwave, Afterburner & Strafe. Then I turned around and opened up my new Thunderwing & Longtooth. Today I purchased G1 Bludgeon, Misfire, & Fangry.

Like many others, I'm slowly restoring my G1s--cleaning, getting new parts, Reprolabels (got a Swoop and Ramjet set on the way right now). I've also just finished both my Classics collection and my Alt collection with Classics Devastator and Alts Rumble and Ravage.

I got two barrister bookcases from my wife for my birthday (and would like to save for some others), so all my G1s are currently on display--I guess I'm trying to find a place for my other 7 sealed bins full of every other TF line right now.... :BANG_HEAD: I'm sure they'd hate the attic...

I just got into Beast Wars/Machines two months ago(Yeah I know I'm kinda late to the party).So I have been concentrating on getting as many of the figures as possible that I like from the shows and the newer IDW comics.I'm surprised I have found as many as I have for the prices I have,I figured it was going to cost me much more.I installed a new shelf and have been slowly opening a few figures and displaying them.I'm trying to decide who to open next.

One of my little "side quests" for my collection is to get ahold of all dragon-type Transformer figures. I know, near impossible given some of the figs like Deathsaurus (Victory and Botcon...), Lucky Draw Flame Convoy, and even Cryotek... but I guess you can say I set my goals high.

Granted, there are a few that I don't really want (*cough*BeastMachinesMechatron&Beastchanger*cough), but demmit if I want all the dragons, all the dragons I shall get!

It'll probably take me my whole life to complete my G1 collection, but maybe half to finish BW. I just need Classics Devastator, plus almost all the Alternators since I just started w/those last year. I need more space though, I have only one shelf for my G1's & the Tv stand is used for BW, Classics, & Titaniums. I also need Reprolabels for some of my older G1's..............perhaps the Dinobots............

Waiting on the local anime shop to get MP-05, as well as waiting on the movie toys.

Well right now I am working on completing my Classic collection. I am just missing Classic Devastator,Ultramagnus and Skywarp. Otherwise i am restoring my G1 Gestalt collection.

Looking for a number of G1 reissues, notably the Encore Prime. I'll consider purchasing Revoltech Megatron and Masterpiece Skywarp.

The Botcon exclusive package is interesting, but I am uncertain if it is worth the funds.

I'm going to pick up the last few Hasbro/Takara reissues I'm looking for- Blitzwing, Powermaster Prime, and Skids.
Then I'm going to either buy a G1 Devestator, Shockwave, or start getting the Dinobots. I haven't narrowed it down yet.

That's more long-term. Right now, I'd like to get the Ravage and Rumble Alts and Classics Devestator before the movie stuff comes out. My local WMs suck, so I don't have their exclusives yet. :-(

Great thread!

Right now I'm literally stuck in what amounts to the worse possible position...

Namely I've bout DVD Prime and MP05 Megatron to go with my MP03 Starscream.... after having just bought Classics Prime, Megatron and...Starscream... and I'm waiting on my encore pre-order of....Prime...Megatron...and...err...Starscream...

See why this sucks?:)

But I wanted all the classics, need the encore ones to complete my reissues and ...err...need I explain why I bought the MPs? Think not...

Still - it's kind of depressing to be spending all this money on the same three characters...

So I'll be very happy when I can refocus to getting "regular" characters out of the Beast Wars Neo and Beast Wars II lines, which is what I'm interesting in hunting down now...er...later...after I get the Megs/Prime/SS variants finished...

Workin' on the Classics side o' things. The severe lack of Decepticons is almost depressing...damn mega-expensive convention figures :MAD:

I'll probably go after those Beast Wars anniversary figures I missed out on....

Quoted for truth!

I sold 75% of my entire TF collection last year because I had no room to display anything. Now instead of collecting series (I pretty much had all the characters from seasons 1 and 2 of Gen 1, all the BT and WSTF ranges) I pick individual figures that look cool.

So my aim for the collection this year is pick five figures that I think are cool/interesting. So far on the list is:

Gen 1 Skywarp
BT Tracks
Hybrid Convoy
MP Ultra Magnus

Right now, I definately want to obtain car robots Brave Maximus. I believe that guy is the holy grail that I'm so desparetly trying to find for a decent price. Nest would be Beast Wars 2 Gigastorm, Galvatron, Lio Convoy, RID Megatron/ Galvatron, Beast Wars 10th Primal and Megatron. Alternators Silverstreak, Dead End, Swerve, Prime, Mirage, Rumble, Jaguar Ravage. Thats all I can think of at the moment. Oh, and MP-5 Megatron.

Finally replacing my set of G1 Dinobots, and slowly amassing all the Classic Starscreams, Ramjets, and E. Towlines I need to skip the Botcon exclusives argument. Just need one more Ramjet, and then it's off to the Tamiya site to make the paint decisions.

oh, and reading lots and lots or repaint "how-to" threads.
