    Omega is the only figure I own where you can't actually see him through a box window. However, his box art still amazes me.

    Two new additions to my collection. I got Swoop thanks to the help of a couple board members. Bluestreak, meanwhile, completes my Series 1 boxed car collection (with the exception of Ironhide and Ratchet, which I'm still on the fence about).

    Swapped out my rub-sign Starscream for a pre-rub version, which now completes my pre-rub seeker collection.

    That's a pretty strong collection even if its small lots quality there.

    Thanks. That's basically my focus (quality over quantity).

    I have a feeling yours might look a little better than mine. :)

    Ah, maybe but it's not a competition at all. We all have collections that fit our means at the time & in the end they all look great in those acrylic cases! How many people have a set of pre rub jets sitting on their mantle at home my boy!? ;)

    Got Smokey today, which completes my MIB Datsuns. Display cases for Bluestreak and Smokescreen are on their way, so I'll get a group shot of them when they arrive. In the meantime, here are solo shots of the three.

    Thanks, man. Smokescreen is definitely one of my finer looking pieces. :)

    Great looking collection. I always enjoy seeing your updates. I want to get cases for my collection. They really do look nice.

    Thanks. I agree. I think the cases definitely add to the collection. Not only do they protect the figures/boxes, but they also improve their overall presentation.

    I updated some of the pics on the first page. Also, here is a shot of my pre-rub seekers together along with an upgraded Mirage. It's not the best shot of the seekers, but it will have to do for now. I might be upgrading my Thundercracker, and I have a better (pristine) Starscream box coming this week, so there is room for improvement.

    Oh BAM!! Just look at those pre rub jets. I was going to say hows about a group shot of those bad boys, you must have read my mind ;) 

    How are you off for sliding bottom cases? I think I may not have replied to that question in an email while back I can't remember.

    Thanks, Mazda. I think I have all of the cases I need for now, but I might be looking for more very soon. Shoot me a PM and let me know what you have.

    Here's my pre-rub Screamer in an upgraded box. I've also added some cassettes (Frenzy, Rumble, Laserbeak, and Ravage) to go with my pre-rub Soundwave/Buzzsaw.

    Very nice. Are your Laserbeak and Frenzy original or did you go the KO route?

    They're original.
