    This is the Majority of my Transformers collection. I have about 25% more in storage. Everything is MISB. If I want a figure to open, I’ll buy two. I try to get as much Collector’s Grade packaging as I can. Packaging condition is important to me. I know a lot of fans don’t like In Box collecting, but it’s what I enjoy. Thanks for looking!

    It's like the best hobby shop in he world!
    Except without the "shop" part... that makes it even better!!!

    A quick question on the various bubble packaging; does the glue that holds the bubble to the card dry out over time?

    I haven’t had any issues with glue coming loose myself... not to say that can’t happen. I’ve always kept my Transformers in my house at a comfortable temperature (no extreme warmth or cold), so that may play a role.

    It’s interesting how the various lines look when they are on the shelf. The Transformers Animated ones, for example, look really good displayed on the shelf with the character art on the side of the packaging.

    I’ve often thought about buying a misb figure from each line just for the packaging. Some Transformers lines have gorgeous packaging. It’s almost like art. I just can’t figure out how I want to do it. Should I stick with just one size class? Pick a favorite figure from each line? I dunno...

    Anyways, you have a nice collection!

    Very very nice. As a fellow misb collector I must say seeing all those boxes lined up are a thing of beauty.

    Thanks everyone! It’s so amazing to see it in person vs. the pictures. I really don’t have much room left, so I gotta figure something out. Especially with Haslab Unicron coming in a year :)

    Thanks for everyone’s kind words! I’m gonna need a bigger house! I’m constantly adding to my collection, but space has become an issue. I have OCD as well and I’m always trying to find ways to display them better and make space at the same time.

    Great looking collection but I'm really wondering do you have any opend? If you do have any opened are there any pictures or are they just all still boxed like the pictures here. I really love the look of this collection alot and I'd love to be able to do the same but just don't have enough room to do so.

    I do have opened figures that I used to display, but I had to store those away to make more room. I appreciate the comments. It’s definitely tough when you run out of room, and the collection is steadily growing.

    I love it! It seems we have the same problem though. Lack of space! All of my movie ( 2007 ) onwards figures are like yours all misb. It’s the best way to display them.

    MISB collections will always look absolutely beautiful and this is no exception. Love the displays of all the character art for lines like GDO, Animated and Universe.
