My collection

Tim Vader · 02-14-2012, 04:03 PM

Well, let me tell you all where my collection started. I am a Star Wars nerd mainly. I am in the 501st legion, I just completed my set of vintage figures yet I keep on buying, I have SW stuff all over my house, my daughetr is even named after a character, haha

Well, one day I was looking at toys on craigslist and found a star wars lot for $50 that looked like a good deal. I contacted the seller, told him I wanted them and asked if he had anything else. He told me he had a box of transformers for an additional $30 if I were interested. I was stuck at work so I had a friend of mine go grab everything. I told him to bring $80 just in case the TF lot was good. Well, the star wars lot was fantastic, but the TF lot BLEW IT AWAY. These are a few pics of what I picked up in that lot. This isnt everything, I still have not taken pics of a lot of it, or a lot of the newer items I picked up, so I will update this as I do. What do you guys think?

Here is the old display which I am currently revamping

I apologize about the pics, I am still learning how to use this camera. I saw there is a section dedicated to photography, so I will see if I can pick up some pointers there

Soundwaves weapons were in his battery storage area (took me a month to look for them there) Devastator is now 100% complete, as is Defensor and every other bot you see in those pics.

I just completed a Piranhacon, Abominus, and am now working on Predaking and Superion. I have also picked up all of the dinobots (3 complete), boxed shockwave, mib unused parts thundercracker, and a few other goodies

Shit I misread. I thought he only got "a few of" those things for 30 bucks, but reading it again...
