    Hey guys,

    Here's my piece on the different types of vintage Transformers collector I've come across since joining the hobby. Some great collection pictures contributed that are worth the jump alone :)

    Great read! Thanks for sharing!

    I recently decided to collect Mini-bots other than Bumblebee, which comprises the bulk of my collection. Now I dream of having every Lynsa, Estrela, IGA and Antex variants, and of course the pre-TF Microchange ones. :)
