I've been a life long fan of the transformers, having either watched the cartoons and live action movies to playing with and spending unholy amounts of money to get some figures. But it is an affliction I am proud to have. But it wasn't until 2001 that I became a collector. It was a purely an accident to make it so bad. I was just lurking the internet when I came across the news that a Unicron figure would be released. Anybody that watched any episode of the G1 from the movie on knows that if you ever wanted to see 1 character brought to life in the form of plastic crack, it was Unicron! Little did I know that would polinate the seed that had been lying dormant with in me since 1984. While anxiously awaiting the release of the figure I became more watchful of the toy isle in every store I entered. I began to think, "I can't just have Unicron standing alone, he needs company. So there I bought leader class Armada Optimus to start, and from then on the rest is history! I've TRANSFORMED my collection from a coffe table display of about 5 figures in 2001, to a few 6 foot tall dust hoarding book shelves, to now several glass display cases! (thanks to a 12/29/09 Ikea sale). Thanks to photobucket all my pics are gone, I will be reposting soon
What an expansive collection you have, those Deltofs make it look real good!! I am jealous of your Shadow Blade Megs!! ...and the sheer size of your collection as well!! End of Line
Thank you! I've got 10 of those Detlof's going. In the coming days I'll picture the rest. My stuff is actually split between my house and my parents.
Sweet collection man! I like the WWE belts too.I'm going with my son to see Smackdown/ECW tomorrow up here in Green Bay.Should be fun.
When you got the cases did you get the lights with them? Were they extra? I love the setup nice collection.
Nah, it was like $25 for a 4 or 3 pack of lights at Ikea. I ended up going to a Menards (like Home Depot/Lowes for those that don't have them in your cities). I got a 4 pack of battery operated LED's for $4.99, and I used velcro to hold them in place. The double sided tape would not stick properly.
Why does Kens Scavenger got his scoop all up in the backside of mine lol! Seriously sweet collection!
LOL, I thought about that when I was taking the pic. I figured it's a give take world. The ROTF took a lot of shit, and die hard G1 fans just took it! Really I was just trying to get them both to fit in within the borders of the background.
