    My somewhat dusty G1 shelf.

    And a misc shelf with a few big G1 guys on it. Can't wait to get my move on and display my Predaking in a more fitting fashion.

    I love G1, but I don't normally don't hunt them down. I buy the ones I come across at garage sales or flea markets.

    Ingenious thread. I love the original G1 box designs and I love the Masterpiece line so I combined them together in my collection. Just a few pics from my collection thread (and my childhood Fort Max and Scorpinok):

    This, to me, is probably one of the best set up's out there. I love the idea so much.

    You guys are rockin' this thread HARD :rock 

    Thanks! I'm just gonna say it's the most I've paid for a TF and leave it there. I'll even say that the prices have went up since then as well. Keep hunting, though, if you're wanting one!

    I hope you find a nice one! I think Monstructor isn't too terribly tough a bot to find, but it'll sure cost ya! The parts are killer, though. I nearly never found Icepick's gun after thinking I had it for years. Aside from that one gun, I have $60 worth of stuff traded into mine (a dealer had one and let me trade some of my spares towards it). I bought mine complete back in 2002.

    I won't post 'em in this thread, but I actually incorporate my GoBots into my G1s with faction symbols even. I think they fit right in. :) 

    Word :cool:

    Okay, so I mentioned earlier about relabeling Megatron. I've still not the heart to do it, as I really like the clean gun mode. Here are the "before" photos with my Megatron and his 25+ year old labels:

    (I didn't photo the other stock pieces, as I didn't remove the label on one of those, and the others don't have labels on them.)

    "After" photos to come just a little while later :) 

    My apologies in advance for the less-than-stellar photos. I was a bit more excited about actually removing the labels, but I thought I'd photo-document the process with some snapshots. I doctored the photos just a little in Photoshop.

    Even for reissues you are a brave person for letting them sun themselves
