    Unreal. Easily one of the top three or four collections I've ever seen. I went through every single page of this thread. Great stuff!

    This one is a huge Xmas present fresh back from AFA, a sealed 85(85-90-85) Megatron. So hard to find this guy sealed so this is a real grail piece for me.

    Andy your collection power is in direct proportion to your balls. You take big risks and get big rewards. Congrats on owning what I think is easily one of the top individual Transformers of all time (not character, the actual distinct item) in that 85 Megs with that concrete provenance.

    I'm thinking about having a party at mazda's house. He can make us all steaks and stuff. I'll be there to eat and admire his wonderful collection.

    Wow, amazing collection! This has got to be the biggest AFA TF collection that I have ever seen. :)  Do you keep them all displayed? If yes, would love to see a group shot sometime. Congrats!!

    Thanks guys! I haven't updated here for a while so here are the last couple of additions. An 85 Prime, 85 Snarl, 85 rub Mirage & an 85 prerub Windcharger. Prime & Snarl are both 85-90-90's & are as case fresh as they get, both are just in glorious shape.... Enjoy! :)

    What a great collection mazdaspeed7!!! I really enjoy looking at pictures of your collection! Thank God for people like you collecting AFA Transformers, preserving the fandom that we love. Many Transformers fans and collector's don't realize that there are only a few of these sealed G1 figures left. Once they are all opened .... that is it.

    You always have the best stuff, Andy. Is that 85 Mirage the same one you thought should grade a 90 (but was slightly damaged by the AFA)? The reason I ask is because I don't notice the window issue as much, but maybe it's because you took another shot of it from a different angle? Regardless, those pieces are pristine.

    Thanks B2B, we're all doing our part to preserve the toys that haven't been opened yet. It still surprises me how some guys still find 30 year old cases of these things.

    Thanks Kevin, yep that's the one AFA damaged & the scuff it still visible in that shot. It's right on the edge of the window & box directly under the "6". it's still a great piece & is the rub version which I the main thing for me. No cases of that guy.
