    Thanks. Here are a couple of group shots, as well as close ups of my recent acquisitions in display cases. I re-shot all of my pics on the first page (initial post) using the same background and lighting for better consistency. I think they look much better now. I have a Swoop figure and a pre-rub Skywarp coming next week.

    Whoa! You've got a sweet, sweet collection. It's so hard to find g1 figures with such pristine packaging.

    Thanks. It takes some patience to acquire pieces like these. :) 

    Here are some shots of other recent additions.

    Thanks, A! I'm in the process of upgrading the Skids box, but I'd prefer to find another "TM" box if possible. I know someone with a pristine box but the only blemish is a tape tear right where the copyright circle would be above the "S" in Transformers. As a result, there's no copyright mark. Any idea what to look for to tell if it's a "TM" or "R" box? In any event, I'm extremely jealous of your collection. Keep rocking it!

    Edit: I didn't realize it at first but the copyright circle is on the back of the box in the same place. Duh. The box is in fact a "TM" box, so it looks like I'll be buying it.

    Just completed my Season One seeker collection with this pre-rub Thundercracker in "TM" box. I'll try to get a better picture this weekend in the light box. It will also look better once it's in a display case.

    Thanks. I actually got amazing deals on the pre-rub Skywarp and TC figures, which I couldn't pass up. I'll probably upgrade the Thundercracker piece at some point, if possible, as it's the weakest of the three classic seeker figures in terms of appearance.

    No. It's MIB. I also updated the pic after some better lighting this morning.
