Which vintage Transformers galleries should Seibertron work on next?

Grand Maximus and the Scorpions.

Grand Maximus, Black Zarak, and Scorponok FTW!

I'd fifth Grand Max and Black Zarak, but much of the Euro-exclusives also suffer from GPS, so I'll vote for them first in hopes of a tie.

With a Fort Max reissue on the way, a BZ reissue with corrected plastic in the next few years doesn't seem that far fetched. The Euro stuff, on the other hand, is extremely unlikely to be reproduced by Hasbro or Takara, thanks to those choking-hazard missiles doubtlessly sold to them by the evil arms dealer that supplied Viper squadron. Of course, if some unscrupulous KO-meister could make some copies before EVERY LAST ONE IN EXISTENCE turns to dust...

A bit off topic: I guess I'd never studied Black Zarak's face since I don't much care for Masterforce or his color scheme vs. Scorpinok's, but does anyone else think there's a strong resemblance to Marvel U.S. Blaster? I mean, if you can't see the ends of his antennae.

Ahhh... Just having all these choices almost makes me giddy. My first reaction is: ALL OF THEM!

But faced with a choice, my vote's going to... Grand Maximus, Black Zarak, and Scorponok!
Mostly due to me wanting to see some of GM's Pretender shell...

I got a total of 194 Transformers and 108 are still factory sealed, yes most of them are pretty common and not rare like the ones you have. Im guessing that the value of your collection to be worth $20,000-$30,000+ and opening them will cause the value to go down. My collection it worth around $7,500.00, but I could never bring myself to open the ones that I have that are still factory sealed. Even though I am jelous that you have soo many rare Transformers, if you were to open some I would be really really careful use an exacto knife so the packaging doesnt tear.

I could have swore Black Zarack was already opened...

I'm pretty sure in the podcast about holy grails he mentioned that it was opened.

It's opened ... that was the only way I would buy it so that I could make sure that the gold plastic was intact.

While the value of my collection is of interest to me (and I hope that 4,000+ Transformers is worth more than $20,000 to $30,000), taking pictures of these toys and creating content for Seibertron.com is of far greater interest to me than the value of sealed boxes. We all deserve awesome galleries of all of these toys. That's what matters most to me.

And I, for one, thank you! I would never get to see many of these otherwise - let alone own.

Love the galleries!

Guess I didnt realize how many Transformers you actually have. So now i guess your collection to be worth well over $175,000. And its good to see that there are some people out there that are willing to share what they have spent their life time collecting. You show us Transformers that we had no idea that they existed. I some day plan to pass my collection to my kids in the future. And when I get a bigger house I'm planning on get a custom display case to I can display all of the different varations of Optimus Prime. Again kudos for sharing your impressive collection.

All of these are needed, NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only 9% for Liokaiser? I would realy like to see a detailed gallery of him next.
