    I'm a dad and...I plead the 5th ;) 

    G1 Highbrow is just so sleek and stately.
    And I keep hearing people dump on TR Highbrow, but I think he's cool.

    D'accord, Highbrow's one of the first I bought in-store, like it was 1987 again.

    For those who want to read the interview, I'm hoping the link will not be too challenging to find - I'm not allowed to post them any more :) 

    All the best

    No they're not all MISB.

    With many collectors like this, they often have loose toys also for the enjoyment, and this is a separate endeavour. Nicholas here I think has been there and done that with the loose toys, so this is how he wishes to engage with the hobby nowadays.

    All the best

    I can't post the link to promote my work or encourage you to go off-site to check out content - too many folks were unhappy that I was allowed to do it for 15 years and they were being pulled up on it - but there is nothing stopping you from posting the link should you wish to share it.

    I would have it linked in my sig but I just want to give the Titans Return article a bit more exposure :) 

    All the best

    Awesome interview as always brotha. ;) 

    Collector Interview 63 – Nicholas Revell – The Source Report

    *spoiler*
    This part had me dying laughing:

    "He wanted the deal done now as his wife was at the hospital terminally in labour, giving birth and she would not be capable of keeping an eye on his cash spending for the rest of the week. I said something along the lines of “But its the birth of your child, you should be there” but the person did not really care much."

    Hmm, at this point in my life I think I wouldn't go past $950 for an Overlord. He's the main big-ticket item I'm looking for right now; all of my other wants are slightly if not significantly cheaper.
