Don't know how I'm going to beat a MIB Overlord, but I'll just go ahead and list my top 5 (in no particular order). 1. MP Black Rodimus 2. MP Black Convoy 3. Ehobby Black RM Victory Saber 4. Black Jetwing Prime 5. Micron Legends Scourge Wow...I guess I have a real soft spot for black repaints. Honorable mention goes to a G1 Swoop I got a few years back in GREAT condition (only missing weapons). Got it for 13 bucks on eBay because the seller had it listed as a "Transformer Plane". I also really like my KO SG Rodimus. I know it's a KO, but the quality is so great with this little guy I feel like I have the real deal (honestly, besides me, very few people would even notice).
to me.. G1 God Ginrai G1 Scorponok BW 2 Lio Convoy G1 Sixshot Superalloy Wheelie. to others... classics Cliffjumper classics Ratchet classics Skywarp FP Bruticus' FP Superion FP Ultra Magnus TFC Devastator dont get me wrong, I know what I have and what they go for these days, but I got them all as the came out and missed the ridiculous hype. To me currently, those first mentioned are my prized Tf's
Not to steal your thunder or anything, but I got mine a year ago for $15. I kid you not. Alternity Convoy, Megatron, Cliff, and Starscream should count, I suppose. $40 MP Skywarp was a nice deal, too.

If we're talking customs here, I could have quite a few to post in here That's no comment whatsoever on Sculpt-bot's Omega, as it's super nice. Congrats
20th Anniversary Optimus that I bought at first sight way back when he hit TRU's shelves Hasbro MP Grimlock RotF Bruticus with FP add-ons *TFC Hercules (arrives next week) G1 Optimus with metal plates in the trailer instead of stickers (still not complete) The last isn't really a tf, but a madcatz tournament edition fight stick I customized to look like Soundwave in alt mode with Ravage in the tape deck. (as seen in my avatar)
Getting FE Takara Starscream and RTS Lugnut for paid figures. Taking advantage of the Hasbro online glitch and getting these for free is something that made me happy. Gen: Thundercracker, Kup DOTM HA: Drag Strip, Whirl, Tailpipe, Half-Track, Thunderhead, Icepick DOTM: Top Spin, Lazerbeak PCC: Bombshock/Combaticons, Crankcase/Destrons SWTF: Commander Cody, Clone Gunner
Yep, some are not the best figures ever made, but I'm not passing up getting a chance to score free transformers.
A near complete alternators collection...I saw every one of them in-store that were available at retail, and I say "near complete" because the only ones I don't have are the ones that I did not want once the repaints started reaching out there for characters I didn't care about (Rollbar/Stepper/etc). I have SDCC Rodimus, E-Hobby clear Mirage, and Nemesis Prime as well. I have all the toys in the Generations/Classics line that I've wanted, 85% of them picked up in-store for retail or less than retail cost. In fact, there are very very few toys that I want that I'm not able to find in-store, thanks to the sightings thread, some fellow collectors in SC/NC, and a good friend of mine that also collects. I've only had to use eBay a handfull of times for that purpose. It also helps that I am centrally located, and there are multiple Targets, Wal-Marts, Kohl's, and other stores surrounding my area.
Oh, definitely. In the worst case, you have free toys or something to sell for money to use on toys you do like. Also, Bombshock, Crankcase & Icepick are 3 of my favorites, and my Bombshock looks even better in combined mode, now that I gave him Crankcase's tank & missile carrier drones. Crankcase just chills on his own now, though.
FE Bulkhead arrived in the mail today. Still having Fortress and Brave Maximus from the times of their releases. I'm glad I held on to both of them.
I have a MIB G1 Overlord, and some other choice pieces, but none really come close to my G1 tape collection. I've posted it before, and I guess individually they're nothing crazily amazing, but put them all together (complete) in one place in a nice presentation (a lot of time and TLC went into that case), and suddenly they're the best thing in my collection that pretty much never ever EVER fails to impress me. It also helps that (not pictured) in that case is a G1 80's Laserbeak Roomerang which my Wife gave me from her childhood days. Ya know, I might just go off and grab some Reprolabels for Soundwave and Blaster, wonder if WST Soundwave has a label set?
Here in Canada that thing is a TRU exclusive and is currently shelf warming at a clearance price of $49.97. Almost sad considering how awesome he is. :/
