    Actually guys you'd be proud of me.

    I gave my nephew an old G1 Prime with trailer. Missing everything of course, but he loved it.

    I buy my nephew new ones, but have also given him some stuff from my collection, like the Takara EZ Devastator set. Been streamlining to mostly Bee stuff.

    I am proud to say that nothing is off limit to my two young sons (one is nearly 2, the other is nearly 4), though I did supress a "D'oh" when my youngest broke the spoiler on my Henkei Hot Rod. I still then sold him (delcaring the damage, of course) for £66 though, during the summer's "funny phase" of obsession with that so-so mould.

    Yep, they play (and have full access to whenever they want) Legends, Micromasters and some G1 beaters.

    They're only allowed to play with the stuff in the glass cabinets when I'm there, and they know that. Both always pick the G1 stuff over anything else, though (easier now that my collection is 95% G1!) concluding - at least in my mind - that the old stuff is just more playable and fun :)

    I keep my collection off limits since my nieces are at the age where they like to chew and slobber on things. They love Optimash Prime and the Transformers plushies which I got for them.

    none. My collection is my collection. They can play with my X-men figures or whatever.

    Anyone who wants to play with my TFs is welcome to play. Everyone I know is very respectful of my collection and I help the kids transform them.

    I do have one small regret - I showed my 5 year old cousin a picture of the G1 Metroplex I'm getting for Christmas (super duper early Christmas present) and of course he's dying to play with it. Gonna have to watch out!

    I have bought my 4-year old tfs on garage sales so he has his own. He is drawn to my TFA and g1 for some reason. He can play with my junkers that will never be repaired and he has some sweet armada molds that we got for him at sales. But in my office, he knows that my MP's are super-off limits.

    I had a box of anything that I wound up with that wasn't what I collected. The nephews were at that thing constantly. Mostly now if I have to get a crappy Bayformer in a two pack to get what I want, I leave the Bayformer for the kids to abuse.

    haven't met any kids that are respectful enough to play with them, if i see their toys aren't destroyed, then i'll let them play with animated and some classics (not bruticus or city commander lol) and maybe my extra g1 prime

    I buy the 2yr old kid TFs like Gravity bots and RPMs when they are on clearance. I also give him ROTF toys I don't care about, here's looking at you Blazemaster and Jolt. I watch him though when he plays with those due to small parts coming off. I did give him my clearanced ROTF Supreme Devastator as well after taking off all parts that are removable, they are like Tonka toys anyway.

    Usually I would only let them play with ones I have more than one of. Lines like Armada and Energon seem to serve well.

    Relatives are 4 provinces away. No need to fret about it.
