You guys ever see a collection similar to this? I know you've seen some crazy stuff in your day!

 

Sure, Karl did every day when he woke up lol....

 

That first video of what looks like an attic, looks like one I saw on an episode of Toy Hunter on Travel Channel. A guy was an ex-employee of a toy company I can't remember at the moment, but I would not be surprised its the same dude. Those rifles he's holding up in the second video looks a lot like the ones from Halo. Basic same shape. Neat collection indeed.

 

Heh. Are you gonna make me post a pic of the collection room?

 

YES!

 

(Not trying to derail the thread, but) I'll see what I can dig up. I think you guys would get a kick out of the "carded wall."

 

what do we have to do to make this happen? Attics full of cardboard boxes does nothing for me...

 

Fascinating stuff. And you have our permission to derail!

 

Im drooling on that optimal optimus i still don't have that toy what a shame, and that prototype optimal prime. A member also have one right? selling for 5k usd if i remember right.

 

Very cool.

 

All the items are way out of my price range, but still very cool to watch the auctions and the videos. Keep up the good work.

 

That Transmetal Optimus Primal looks like the purple variant, its hard to tell for sure though. Honestly I'd want that more than the prototype!

 

this.

and this too.

 

tell me how many of you in this position
selling off this widows collection wouldn't stick one of these figures in your backpack
if you ask for one as part payment
(or as full payment) for your services
you are 90% sure she will say no because she thinks you might grab the most expensive one and might end up having someone else auction off the merchandise but if you ask for one as part payment
(or as full payment) for your services

what would you do
a lot of people would say they would do the right thing but..........

 

So the guy most likely steals a ton of stuff (or buys it from someone who stole it) and stands to make a huge profit. Kinda shady IMO. Neat to see all the stuff, but I wish it was all being sold directly to a KO producer so that more fans could have access to stuff that the official companies have written off as unsellable.

 

Boxed pre-production samples. That is so cool!  

 

Geez, I'm a fan of transformers but some things doesn't do it for me. I take unreleased figures, but "prototypes" at those prices make me want to consider my priorities even if I could afford them.
I have a car hobby too so I guess I have a price-to-use ratio I cannot exceed.

 

I'd like to see what the unreleased stuff is. I wonder if he's found any of the planned Pretenders figures that never got produced. I actually collect prototypes, so I'll probably try and jump on at least one piece of this collection.

 

I would kill to be in this guy's shoes.

 

Fingerprints!!!
