Ive been a collector of many things most my life, slowed down a lot in the last 5-10 years but late last year/early this year, back strong with a focus primarily on MP Transformers. If you care to read the tldr version, my post about it is here. Anyways, here are some shots of my collection: (Click Update Post # links for more pictures) My 1st MP: Picked up MP-01 new when it came out, never opened but almost did this past X-Mas with the reason found in the same story linked above. I don't remember exactly when I picked up the trailer but I realized it was my first 3P purchase. My first purchase now that I'm back in is explained in the linked post above and will be shown as soon as I get it but my first new MP in hand is one of my favorite characters, Soundwave/MP-13: And in his natural habitat: Of course, I had to get all the cassettes and shout out to Optimus Dime for selling me the KFC upgraded hands. I wasn't sold on MP-12 because of some of the fit/finish issues and looking forward to Spinout from Omnigonix and any future MP Sunstreaker but I finally broke down and picked up one of these: What can I say, I love yellow Lambos and the bot mode is better than I expected. 4/20/2015 update (Post #10): 5/14/2015 update (Post #14) Soundwave gets a new toy And Megatron arrives 5/27/2015 update (Post #18) Some old stuff (and Megatron in the linked post) 7/15/2015 update (Post #22) Spotlight on Warpath (with some new lights) 10/8/2015 update (Post #35) You Got The Touch! 3/8/2016 update (Post #40) Heroic Autobot or Evil Decepticon? 4/21/2016 update (Post #41) Shockwave! 8/31/2016 update (Post #42) Grimlock Arrives! That's all I got for now but I'll update as my MP collection grows and also add other photos of the rest of my collection when I can. Let me know what you think, comments, suggestions, requests...

Took some quick pics of some of my other stuff today. My wife says I should look through my storage to surprise myself and enjoy what I already have before I think about getting more. Haha.
Haha, yeah. Her mom has hinted that I should remove it all and is worried about how much she likes Vader, Godzilla, Hulk, Iron Man, Captain America and Spiderman but I don't see what the issue is. She still likes Elsa and stuffed animals too . I noticed some of the pictures came out pretty dark on different screens so I'll take some better ones at some point.
well kids should be expose to as much stimuli as possible, we are living in a world where men can like MLP, so girl who like hulk will grow up just fine.
Thanks for checking it out! Hopefully I can slowly take out all the stuff I have in storage and get them on a rotation of display. Also working on some key MP pieces, which is why I'm here now. Edit: I just checked your collection out too. Wow! That OG Galvatron makes me want to dig mine out and put it on display until an MP comes. Hope I didn't leave the battery in it and have to deal with corrosion.
A clearer view of the big Gundams on the shelf: And now I'm collecting Star Wars figures again: My most recent acquisition.
Thanks! Kind of...I'm going to try to keep it down to a few key pieces. I have Boba Fett waiting for Apollyon to ship together and I'll probably pick up a Biker Scout/Speeder Bike. Other than those, I'd get Darth Maul, some Shadow Squadron guys, Greedo and Prototype Fett IF I can get really good deals on them. I wasn't going to deal with the BS (pun intended) because most the figures I saw in person just didn't look good enough to me to justify how expensive they are but these were mostly the human type figures you see everywhere. I think I bought a Stormtrooper a while back but not sure. I also have SH Figuarts Vader and a Stormtrooper paid for and waiting for a VF-1 to arrive for shipping. All I wanted to do was collect some MP Transformers and now I'm getting sucked back in to everything, lol. I'm enjoying it...hope my finances can keep up.
Got an accessory for Soundwave: My review of the turntable here. And finally Megatron arrives, the reason I got back into collecting more heavily:
Thanks! I've been collecting all kinds of stuff my whole life...most I haven't had a chance to photo yet. My latest focus is MP style Transformers but once I got back into the collection mode, I couldn't resist some other things (mainly Star Wars and Macross and I'm still staying clear of Marvel/DC). Apollyon was the news that got me back in so yeah, had to double dip on it, haha. By the way, your collection is ridiculous (in a real good way)
Vintage Cylon Figure Some old bots Secret Wars is Back! Godzilla Vs Mazinger Some of my old Joes: Missing a few favorites like Beachhead and Cobra Commander but I'm pretty sure I have them boxed up somewhere else. Break Yoself! Animal Rescue Star Wars Vintage: Megatron Vs Vader
Opened a box of some of my old stuff, here's what was in it: Found a Cobra Commander, still no Beachhead. And Megatron is repping his crew Hologlow faction symbol on his hands...still waiting on a suitable solution for his chest.
Thanks! A friend an I used to talk about opening a library/museum between all the things we have. Maybe we'll actually be able to do that someday.
