    FansProject City Commander and that's almost a decade ago now. Where the hell did that time go?

    Unicorn.com Beast Wars Transmetal Megatron golden disc set. I got it in 2000 or so but I think I’ve seen it for sell at retail still.

    The FansProject Cliffjumper upgrade.

    EDIT: Oooh I forgot about the unicron.com stuff! I had the Key to Vector Sigma, the Cheetor swords, the Golden Disks, the Animated Allspark set, all of it. When was all that?

    me too! I totally forgot about those! They accidentally sent me 2 stands for Thrust and I learned that it can also support Jetstorm very well. I wish I still had those

    MakeToys Green Giant. It was my first adult TF purchase, meaning the first TF since I got the G1 toys as gifts in the '80s. Coming up on four years collecting pretty soon and I can't wait to be done. Just a few more Season Two & '86 movie figures to go! :)

    My first 3P purchase? Oh boy, I'm getting old. :confused:  I really can't remember exactly, but before the Fansproject City Commander and Protector upgrades I think I bought the WST Dinobots...

    The first 3P MP purchase was FT Quakewave - the best MP Shockwave to date. :)

    I think I was the same, though I suppose there might have been something else before that. It seems like a long time ago. I remember drooling over the FP City Commander sets as they were being released, but they seemed so expensive.

    Now I've passed the 150 dollar price point with things like MMC Carnifex and the Diaclone Big Powered. What the hell happened? lol

    Hah, yeah...

    I remember thinking that City Commander was a mortgage payment.

    Here we are today... Excited over a $109 Optimus Prime because, that's a great price.

    I also remember passing over Walmart MP Thundercracker because, $60 was outrageous(!) But now, $120 for Meteor is rock bottom pricing.

    Friend of mine imported as a gift for me from the US at 75 all paid an mp03 Walscream.

    Now I am getting ready for a Freaking 500$ combiner......

    My first 3p was KFCs SG Transistor. A character I had no love for, and bought just for the deco (my SG Mp10 needed company). Who would have thought Id fall in love with the figure ?

    But Siege Megatron scratches that "tank makes more sense than a handgun itch"... so his days of leading my CHUG Decepticon shelf is numbered.

    I am not 100% sure but I think it was those WST Dinobots around 2010,I forgot who made them but those were/are great little figures,I still have them but they are in storage somewhere and too hard to get to,but I hope to dig them out one day soon so I can display them.

    Quakewave for me. Sold it when the prices were insane and just recently bought it back from a member here. MP-29+ is my personal favorite but I’m keeping the OG QW as it’s still just a great bot. I’m also a big shockwave fan though. I have mp-29, mp-29+, FT QW, FT QW reissue, and Quakeblast...good chance I have some kind of problem.

    Scoria was my second and I still love it despite the look being a bit outdated.
