    You haven't even seen it all.

    Has to be one of the largest collections ever. Maybe not THE largest but top 25 is my guess.

    There are 2 tubs of movies. Just movies. Its like that with anything you can think of Transformers.

    This is absolutely fantastic. I don't know how you pulled this off but frankly I'm glad you did, and I hope these can find their way to a good home. I might throw a bid in on those Protectobots just for funsies...

    And, of course, welcome to TFW!

    That was my thought exactly when I first saw this thread. Some nice looking pieces here, but I hope it doesn't end badly like the G2 Stunticon incident.

    $26,000 for the Stunticons seems excessive. I deliberately stopped following that thread when it got kind of nuts. Awesome collection though, and cool to see the Defensor set resurface. I'd say a healthy price would be $5,000-$7,000?

    Pricing prototypes is always difficult. It really depends on the market. I wouldn't be surprised if $10,000 was an acceptable amount for the set. But then again, if there are more sets out there, who knows what the real "rarety" of the set is.

    I've heard anything from 2 to 10 complete known sets.

    You guys will have the chance to tell me what it's worth. Starts at $1 and goes from there.

    I might be interested in this guy right here, if he's complete. Assuming that's the right one. Just so happens I'm in the market for him.

    I'm sure I'm in the minority on feeling this way, but seeing a collection this incredible and realizing the owner is gone and cannot enjoy it anymore just makes me incredibly sad. I mean that's some serious dedication and passion right there. It's just amazing to look at. I know we all check out eventually and you can't take it with you... but damn. I guess the only silver lining is that this collection will now live on through other collections.

    I think the important thing is that they enjoyed it while they were here.

    Wow, that's some collection. Will you be posting links to the auctions when you get them listed? This could be a real boon to forum members who want this stuff.

    Assuming that's allowed, I will be posting links.

    Hopefully every body can get something cool that they want. A TON of stuff here.

    Man, how are these being auctioned? I probably can't afford the Minerva, but would love to try. :p
