Transformers that you never thought you'd get... that you got.

Galaxy Convoy · 12-09-2012, 06:39 PM

I guess it'd have to be the Cyberverse line for me. I've never been a fan of small and overly simplistic TFs. I actually hated the minicons back during Armada and Energon(except for the ones with weapon mode alts or that combined into weapons). Small, simple TFs are just unsatisfying to transform.

But being a fan of the Prime figs, I started looking at pics and stuff of the Cyberverse stuff. Convinced myself one day to pick up Commander Optimus(not hard given the price increases on the deluxes). The very next day I was back at WM grabbing up some legion figs, Cliffjumper, Evac, and a couple Vehicons. Been hooked on'em ever since. Dunno, guess my views on the small figs must've changed or something.

Never thought I'd own G1 Fortress Maximus but, with the reissue coming out, I soon will.

these were all shockers to me (not cause i didn't want them, but because i never thought i'd be so lucky):

RID Scourge - honestly didn't expect to find him for 6 goddamn dollars
RID Ultra Magnus - got him for cheap as well
SDCC Bruticus - i got sooooo lucky on this one
Cybertron Galaxy Force Optimus Prime - FREE
G1 Trypticon - again, found him for really cheap
Primus - gift (also cheap)
TFTM Blackout - cheap
Cybertron LC Megatron - FREE

all but Bruty, Prime, and Megs were found at a local comic book store

Let's see, never thought I'd be able to have energon bruticus with fp upgrades. Took me a year but finally completed him on my birthday. Never thought I'd get a SDCC Terrorcon Cliffjumper, but I found him at a swap meet misb $30. Hated prid knockout but saw him on a peg for the first time and said" Can't believe I'm doing this..." I actually really like him(since I took off that ugly maroon and gold-ified his rims)

Masterpiece Grimlock. Ironically, he was the first TF that got me back into the hobby.

The entire Prime and DOTM lines. Some of the molds were just too hard to pass up.

All of my third party purchases.

I thought I'd never get my hands on Henkei Onslaught. He's just been eluding me for years as an expensive import, but I finally nabbed one MIB locally this week. Thankfully, he lives up to my expectations. I couldn't be happier!

I have lots of toys I thought I'd never own. When I first started collecting Mini-Cons I'd see pictures online of expensive Japanese exclusive I thought would never grace my shelves. Now I have quite a few rare Micron Teams.
