    It’s true that a large number of TFSource Collector Interviews over the last year and a half have come from a local group of London-based collectors who meet up regularly, but the fact that within that small group I have found some of the most knowledgeable, well-adjusted people with impressive collections has inspired me to document their opinions, experiences and collections. Such is the diversity within that group, and the UK fanbase, that I feel everyone can benefit from their features. Here, then, is the master of the sprawling Autobot City, keeper of ‘The Loft’, the Legends Class king, Kit Tang. Oh, he was in a Bond film, too. Beat that.

    But seriously, Kit has a marvelous collection that is fun above all else. I was privilaged to see it in the flesh recently and made me realise my pile of Primes doesnt compare!

    I think we share a lot of the same views concerning fun in collecting, and in the lack of original characters in lines today.

    Cracking read. Well worth the wait for this one!

    Yes, every Bank Holiday in the UK somewhere on Digital TV I get blown up, again and again. And then again on +1.

    Or something like that. Glad you're all enjoying the interview, I'll see if I can take a pic of the mythical loft later lol.

    Oh and I bought 2 more Optimus's last weekend (I did this interview a little while back) so the Optimus display has moved around a little bit. Not all my Deluxe and movie Voyager Ops are in there though.
