Neat seeing someone's collection though.
If Guinness says this is the largest collection why would you dispute them?
Because it's not the biggest, not by a long shot. I have a far larger collection, and I doubt even mine is the largest. I've estimated for years that I own around 8,000+ Transformers. Over 4,000 of which I have photographed for this site. When you've been obsessively collecting only Transformers primarily for 34 years, 1,000 Transformers is an extremely easy number to surpass.

2000 figure isn't a "collection" - it's a section of any real collectors.

This is going to sound personal, but it's not.
I don't like the above attitude. It doesn't matter if you have 1 figure, a 100, or 10000, a collection is what you make of it.
That's different for everyone.

Before I choose to downsize it, my own collection was easily 3000+ figures. 2000 is impressive, but nowhere near the biggest even on this site. Just look over some of the collection threads.

Speaking for myself: it's a ton of work, I don't collect for recognition, and I know for a fact it is not a "world record" collection even if it were to be given that title by a for-profit company like GuinnessRated X wrote:If you truly believe your collection is a better contender for that title, why not document it?
What they said. If it's done right, a collection is for personal enjoyment, not the expectations of anyone else. I have roughly 120 figures in my collection, and it continuously changes. I buy new ones, I get rid of those I get tired of. Unfortunately, sometimes later on I regret getting rid of certain figures and get them back. That's the only aspect of my collecting I need to get under control.Carnivius_Prime wrote:Ironhidensh wrote:Super Megatron wrote:This is so cute.

This I be agreeing with. My collection will probably never exceed something like 35-50 figures at any one time but it's still my collection.

Megatron Wolf wrote:I have to agree with what others have said, theres no way thats the biggest collection. I myself have over 1800 transformers, ive seen collections in person that are twice the size of mine and i know many people on this site alone have more than that. The Guinness people need to do more research.
