    I know there are a lot of Mini-bot collectors here, so I decided to make thread for all of us. We can discuss about our latest hauls, grails, questions, check lists, post pics of our collections, Microchange/pre-TF, G1, G2, TF Collection, Encore, exclusives, keychains, etc. anything and everything Mini-bots. :) 

    Let me start off with pics of some of my latest Mini-bot hauls:


    These are all Microchange/pre-TF molds (round Takara stamp at the bottom):

    Finally got a complete set of the chase black versions of the 7-11 Japan keychains, I removed the keychain parts, hehe:

    I've never owned but really need to get Huffer. These are my non keychain figures. Powerglide is the only one I've had since it came out.

    Very cool! My first eBay purchases came in the mail today. I got two Huffers (my favorite mini), two Brawns, two yellow Cliffjumpers, Gears and a red Bumblebee. I have another Gears and a red Cliffjumper on the way. So, I'll still need a second red Bumblebee, a second red Cliffjumper, two Windchargers and two Bumblejumpers to finish off my set of 1984 pre-rubs. I'll post a pic or two after I finish my set.

    Awesome, I have two of each for my display too! I love me some minibots. I have 4 more Estrela variants, and a Microchange in the mail. I hate waiting for overseas shipping...
