welcome to the forms, Avatar: The Last Airbender is aces is my book  

 

My names Luke, I'm an alcoholic and I think I'm on the wrong site !

 

Hi everyone! I just sorta joined, so I'm not entirely sure how to use my account properly, so I'll probably be asking a lot of questions!

Hope I don't annoy anyone too much  

 

Thanks for sharing!!  

...and for giving me the best LOL of the day!!



 

 

  - No problem mate.

 

Glad you're okay...did kinda worry after I posted.


Since you found your way back again----Welcome!!  

 

Thanks mate, I'm not really an alcoholic by the way incase you were wondering, I was just in a daft mood that night  

 

Hey now!

Been lurking for a few months to get updates and reviews on 3rd party figures. Thought I'd join officially.

Sup! Welcome to the fun and crazy world of TFW! I'm the DJ of TFW, anything related to music, you can ask me.  

 

Hello.

I'm Super Lazuli, there's supposed to be an umlaut over that A (it is a long A) but the thing wouldn't let me do it, so oh well.

Anyway, yeah, hi. New-ish fan here, I watched Armada and whatnot when I was younger but only really recently got *into* TF by way of the new Aligned Continuity stuff (that'd be Prime, War For Cybertron, and Fall of Cybertron, but you all probably knew that already), and I like what I've read of the IDW comics, too. I've also watched some old G1 stuff, it's pretty good, if dated.

Anyway, I write (terrible) stuff and make (terrible) music, but that's neither here nor there. That's about all I can think of, anything else you wanna know, just ask.

So yep, hi.

[EDIT]: Oh, I'm also known as Doom Hippo on Xbox Live, you may recently have seen me failing at Fall of Cybertron on there.

 

Welcome! Enjoy your stay here! I'm the resident DJ here at TFW, so ask me anything related to music.  

 

Yo.

 

Hello All,

My name is Jared, and I have no idea what I am about to get myself into.

I am 28, and currently am a sponsored driver for Monster Energy Drink. I am self employed, and when I am not traveling around doing events I work at my office in Dallas doing graphic design, marketing and car events.

I will be honest: I am very new to Transformers world and I have a idea I am about to spend a LOT of money. Everything I do has to be 110%, so it burns me up to see that I am so far behind so many with collection. I don't like to be behind anyone at anything. So, I suppose I am about to go down this road.

So far, my collection is super, super small. Don't make fun...

-20th Anniversary Edition Optimus Prime
-Hasbro Masterpiece Thundercracker (2)
-G1 Grappler
-G1 Inferno
-G1 Jetfire
-DOTM Bumblebee Mech Tech
-DOTM Jolt Mech Tech
-Ultimate Battle Optimus Prime
-Ultimate Battle Magatron

It's a small, humble collection, but after finally getting Jetfire... and finding a local shop in Dallas called "Dallas Vintage Toys" I think I am about to dive in...

In fact, I got the party started just last week by buying this NIXON Display Case. I bought it because it matches the Jetfire Color Scheme and would look sweet in my office. I realize now, this will not hold any sort of massive collection, but perhaps I will just be a casual collector. I put some junk in it just for the photo, the plan is to fill it with transformers...



My other hobby, my car. This keeps me busy.




This picture is a little old. The facebook fans is up to around 380,000 now.  



My truck. I also mess with high speed go karts a lot..

Planning to be an active member here as I go down this road. Any advice you guys will give is appreciated. Thanks again.  

 

Definitely love the setup you've got there, and I'm sure you (and Grapple hah) will get into the swing of things sooner than later.

 

Your collection count is eight? Hahaha!
J/K. Seriously, it's taken me two years to get to the eleven I have now. You're doing just fine. Welcome to ze boards!

Since you're into graphic design, how about a makeover?

Bear with me, I've been looking for a way to use this for a while >.<

 

Thanks for the quick welcome...

Yeah, having made friends with the guys at Dallas Vintage Toys... I think I will. I already tried to buy the nice TF Toy Guide... but it is out of print and costs like $75... haha... that's a lot of change for a book that has outdated pricing! I just wanted the photo guide...

 

LOL... I would not call me "one of you" yet.. come on... I gotta earn it!

I know... my little collection... boo hoo. I just started last week... haha... give me some time. When I get into something: I get into it.

I am already beat that I missed BOTCON when it was in Dallas this year... darnit. I wont miss the next one.

 

Some of us are very happy with small collections, ya know. Plenty of completists of you want to go that way, too. As well as everything in between. I don't think anyone here judges on the size of the collection, it's what you do with it that counts.

If you know what I mean.

 

Elaborate! Please, I am new to this and want to learn everything that I can..

I guess like... where does it end? Ya know? There are so many different lines... generations... versions... japan versions... etc. It's nuts. You could spend $20,000 and still be missing a lot... lol...

I suppose I will first try to get the G1 collection. I don't really care about "mint in the box" or not. I also really like the MASTERPIECE collection, but of course, I was shocked to see that the "USA Releases" of the Masterpiece's are far less than the Japanese versions...

My head is already spinning.

Mostly I like the:

1. Nicer/Larger/Super Detailed Collectible Versions (Masterpiece, etc)
2. Classic G1 Transformers.

But I have a feeling I will begin to like them all. Gonna have to make more shelves, I can feel it.

Glad to see you guys dont "give a crap" about the size of collections. I saw some threads were people had like entire ROOMS full of stuff. My wife would never allow such craziness in our house. I am going to have to be a little more subtle about it...
