    Greetings, fellow TF Fans! So, my oldest bot is G1 Optimus, who I've owned since Christmas of 1984. At one time, I owned nearly every G1 ever made. Due to being struck by a drunk driver and a resulted spinal injury in 2011, I was put out of work and quickly ran out of money. It took the insurance company over a year to pay me anything. As a result, I was evicted and forced to sell the bulk of my collection in 2011. Flash forward 10 years to present day. I'm fully recovered from my injuries, and own my own house. I have a decent job, and I'm back on my feet financially. In the past couple years, I've started collecting again. I'm really loving the WFC, SS86, and Masterpiece lines. The Power of the Primes and Titans Return are kool, too. And, of course, third party companies. I'm dumbstruck by the fact that so many people today have renewed their love for an animated series/movie and toy line from the 1980's. Transformers has always and will always have a special place in my heart. And, it makes me happy to see that I'm not alone in that feeling. It's forums like this one that proves that! Anyway, here's my humble collection. Hope you enjoy. P6300001.JPG P6300003.JPG P6280009.JPG P4070001.JPG 016 (2).JPG 058.JPG 001.JPG

    Whooa that is a nice set up. You put a lot of thought and care into that. The red paneling is an unusual touch, but it works.

    Thanx. Yeah, that room was painted red when I bought the house. Never saw the need to change it. :)

    Here is a collage I made of my old G1 Collection, most of TF Collage2.jpg which I sadly no longer have.

    Love the backdrops man! Blackarachnia in particular looks perfect right there and the Dinobots too against that mountain photo is great.

    The volcano/magma seeping into the Ark was a really nice touch you added as well! Awesome collection!

    Thanx. It's made of wood and printed on cardstock from Staples. I found the images online. It's my own interpretation of Hasbro's Pit Of Judgement (only more solid and a bit larger). The LED stand really gives it that extra wow factor. It looks better in person. My camera doesn't do it justice.
