Hello there, been an off and on lurker in the forums here and after checking out, and being amazed by, some of the collections here I've decided to post up pics of my own. I have much more than I can currently display right now but I am pretty happy with what's out. Now then... on to the pictures. The top of my Entertainment Center has always been the best place to display some of the bigger pictures. Currently it's a mix of leaders from both sides but in the past it's been home to figures from the various series. Space is rather tight right now so my large bookcase here, which is normally just my many books, is the home of a few extras. This is my smaller bookshelf out in the living room. Zoids are on the top two shelves with Transformers calling the rest home. I kinda like how the flash reflected off some of the energon figures in these pics. Sadly, most of my 360+ figures are currently packed away due to a fairly recent move. As I sort through and condense my belongings (Ended up with more stuff than I thought I had.) I'll probably end up taking and posting more photos. The trick right now is finding out which box the ones I really want out ended up in, lol.
Very nice! Those Zoids look really cool... never really got into them myself, but there are some I'm tempted to pick up. That giant gorilla one, for instance...
IRON KONG!!!! I had that when I was a kid. I had Gojulas and Iron Kong, (along with my TM Primal) I was planning to pick one of them up at the end of a year as a treat to myself for a year's hard work nice collection. great balance of TFs and Zoids.
Zoids are great but I do love Transformers more. The fact that you have to assemble the Zoids is what initially drew me to them, picked up on of the little kits and then I was hooked. When I was living in Florida the local Comic shop imported a lot of them. When that shop stopped getting them I turned to the domestic releases so I have a fair mix of Tomy and Hasbro released Zoids. My Deathsaurer is my favorite.
Ended up finding a few old pictures that show off a bit more of the collection. They're from around Christmas '06, when I got my digicam, and I believe they're mostly from playing around with the thing so the quality isn't the best. Fist up is the return of the Top of the Entertainment Center (TM), the best place I have to display stuff. This is how it was until the move. Primes, Primals, and a Convoy on the left with Megatrons, Galvatrons, and a Razorclaw on the right. Unicron and Huge Starscream are there too because, honestly, they're a pain to display because they're so big! Next up is my bookcase, which had mostly G1, G2, and G1 reissues on it. There's a Cybertron figure hiding in the background on the left of the top shelf. And I just noticed that poor G2 Rotorforce Ransack and G1 Seawing seem to have been knocked a little out of place for the picture... whoops. Finally, is the Combiner shelf with G1 Defensor, G1 Bruticus, Magnaboss, Tripredacus (Who seems to have been knocked on his ass... you can see his shoulder between Bruticus and Mangnaboss), Landfill (I think that's Build King's RiD name...), Armada Perceptor, Universe Perceptor, and then Universe Whirl who just kinda got set there one day and never moved again, lol. I have moved three boxes of transformers from our storage and into my room. Been going through and finding the others I wanted out. Happily, I found my Armada Tidal Wave and will probably be setting him up for a photoshoot with the minicons as DilaZirK's Fun-ness on a stick! characterization has inspired me to do so! New photos are on the way since the Top of the Entertainment Center (TM) has already changed, Pacifica and Racquel had to move so Fire Convoy and Energon Prime could have a home. n.n
Definately, the only issue with mine is that one of Blades' rotor blades is broken off, other than that he's in great condition. Memory is a little fuzzy on this but I believe that he was my first complete G1 combiner. My Bruticus was incomplete for years, I've had Onslaught, Vortex, Swindle, and Blast-Off since I was little, and wasn't actually complete, figure-wise, until I bough a European Brawl a few years ago. Too bad I've lost one of his feet, a Superion one was substituted for now. And, as can be seen on the photo of my old bookcase setup, my Superion remains incomplete, just need Slingshot and we're great in the figure department, I'm missing a couple of the combiner pieces unfortunately.
We have an update! Got batteries in my camera and set out a few of the packed up ones. Tidal Wave and the Perceptors have pretty much become the guardians of the desk. Spy Shot 6 and Speed Dial 800 are there because I haven't decided what to do with them yet. And we have an update on the Top of the Entertainment Center (TM)! Next up is to set up my Beast Era figures. Woo, woo!
Yes, long time no post. Been a hectic past few months with the death of my old computer, and purchase of a new one, and the hectic nature of going from no job to two jobs, it's crazy I managed that one! Ca't say I've added much to the collection, about four figures since last I've posted, since other hobbies have swung in to take the available money, and the local TRU hasn't been getting a decent stock of TFs in. Yeah, call me picky, but I work there and get a discount so I like to buy my toys there... helps pay my paycheck. I do have updates! The promised Beast Era collection shot, a new one of The Desk, and something a little funny for the end. First up is the Beast Era shot, it has pretty much all of my Beast Era figures except for some of the bigger ones and ones I've already photographed. My TM Rampage, TM2 Cybershark, BM T-Wrecks, and BM Nightscream are missing because they're in another box that is at my Grandmother's. Mostly Basic and Deluxe figures because they were in my budget at the time. And The Desk, home of the mighty Tidal Wave, has some new denziens. Cybertron Metroplex, Movie Concept Bumblebee, Deluxe Movie Brawl, and Movie Arcee. I got lucky with BB and RC since I have a strict personal policy of not pulling the figures I want out of a single case as I'm stocking them. You have no idea how many Leader Brawls and Megatrons I've let pass by because of this, and they're the other two I've really wanted out of the movie line. I got lucky that we got 8 cases of the same deluxe wave with BB and RC in them, enough for me to get one of each and let the kiddies have the others. Oh, and Tidal Wave hasn't been evicted from the desk, he was just off playing Guitar Hero III while the others posed for the picture. And, lastly, we've got a BW2 Destron who's a little too happy to see the Wii. I think Thrust is probably trying to whisper sweet nothings into the Wii's nonexistant ear, at least he's not trying to cause havoc in the room right now. I've been thinking of rearranging The Top of the Entertainment Center (TM), cycling out some of the larger figures for other large figures to renew the view. Unicron and King Starscream stay since I have no other place to put them. Also, we've got a couple of Primus (I have no idea how to plural that so I'm not gonna try) figures left so one may come home with me one day... maybe a Death Star Vader too, they'd look real nice up there. Until I have more pics, later!
