    Many thanks for the new comments. It has been a good long time since I've done an update. Most of the new stuff I'll post here I've had as of this past January.

    For now, I'm making placeholders for the pics. I'm currently having problems logging in to my photobucket account, but I really want to get on with posting this update. I'll get the pics up as soon as I can.

    *EDIT* I decided to set up an account with Imagshack for hosting these pics.


    PIC #1 - A first showing of the collection room since moving to this new location. This shows the current view on the lefthand wall as you come up the stairs. I have to give props to my friend Dormamu for introducing me to these shelves from IKEA. They work pretty well for display of Transformers, don't you agree?

    [​IMG]

    PIC #2 - This is a view shows the same wall from the opposite corner. In the far left you can see a stand with my collection of Transformers DVDs.

    [​IMG]

    PIC #3 - This view shows the wall on the righthand side as you come up the stairs. The stairs are just off the right side of this picture.

    [​IMG]

    PIC #4 - One of the shelves on the right wall with my collection of Hard Hero busts and statues, plus a few from Diamond Select. Can't see all of them as there is only so much room. But overall, I think it displays well.

    [​IMG]

    PIC #5 - The other shelf on the right wall. I'll give a listing for what is here in subsequent pics. There are other things on this shelf not seen, but I'll get to them later.

    [​IMG]

    PIC #6 - The top shelf showing the loose figures. From left to right:
    Apeface, needs a head and weapons (body only)
    Galvatron complete with working electronics
    G2 Dairy Queen Optimus Prime - a small bagged toy that I barely found out about, but wanted it for my G2 collection.
    Snapdragon complete
    Blitzwing incomplete, needs a gun but the sword is there
    Triggerhappy with a busted Targetmaster
    Astrotrain, needs a weapon
    Pretender Starscream complete
    Octopunch complete
    Roadbuster, missing a few accessories (antenna for one)
    Bludgeon complete
    Monstructor complete, the Pretender shells and accessories are behind it on the shelf
    Predaking, not fully complete but enough for me (missing a few Predacon weapons and swords)

    [​IMG]

    PIC #7 - Middle section starting with the upper shelf:
    MIB Groundshaker complete
    MIB Roadgrabber complete
    MIB Micromaster Cannon Transport complete
    MIB Micromaster Missile Launcher complete
    MIB Skyhopper
    MIB Gunrunner complete with custom styrofoam insert

    Lower shelf:
    MISB Brainstorm
    MISB Turbo Racer with Action Master Wheeljack
    MISB Battletrap, this is an upgrade as tape seal dried up on my previous one
    MISB Splashdown
    MISB Squeezeplay, almast perfect except for $8.98 written on one side with a Sharpie or grease pencil (won't come off)
    MISB Carnivac

    [​IMG]

    PIC #8 - Lower half starting with the upper shelf:
    MISB Cyclonus, I don't know what's going on with the box fading like that but got it cheap enough
    MISB Bomb-Burst
    MISB Dirge
    MIB/MOSC Springer, a very nice specimen but I suspect that the insert is a new replacement... effectively making it just MIB. If anybody could spot it easy, let me know and I'll supply some pics.

    Lower shelf:
    MISB T.H.S-01 Galaxy Convoy, bit the bullet and got this one since I had the T.H.S.-02 (both versions)
    Disney Label Mickey Mouse Halloween version
    Disney Label Mickey Mouse monochrome version
    Justitoys WST Shockwave and Blaster
    Device Label Jaguar (Ravage)
    WST wave 2.5 Jazz (last one I needed to complete the Takara set)
    Alternity Cliff
    Alternity Bumble
    Alternity Megatron Blade Silver version

    [​IMG]

    PIC #9 - Left Wall on the lefthand side (see the DVDs again?)
    Left shelf, top to bottom:
    Victory Sabre giftset complete, unused stickers - I figured out how to transform Star Sabre, but Victory Leo. Don't even ak me about combining them together.
    MISB European G1 Thunder Clash
    KO Deszaras/Deathsaurus, previous owner had custom painted it to resemble the actual Takara release, too bad it's missing one of the breastmaster beasts
    Tape sealed D-78 Predaking reissue
    Masterpiece MP-1B Convoy black version, mine came with the plate but I would like the comic as well
    Masterpiece Thundercracker - it took me long enough, but he was lower on my priorities

    Right shelf, top to bottom:
    Tape sealed Fortress Maximus
    MIB Scorponok, incomplete
    Diaclone Powered Convoy, PROPS to TheSpacebridge for selling this to me (Thanks, Man!)
    MIB European Overlord complete

    [​IMG]

    PIC #10 - The last pic here for my AFA/CSG additions. You can't see everything here, but I'll cover them in a later update.
    Left shelf, top to bottom:
    CSG 7.9 Devastator giftset MISB
    CSG 8.2 Shockwave MISB
    AFA 75 pre-rub Optimus Prime MISB - one of the earliest issue as the inside of the trailer has metal plates instead of just the stickers
    AFA 80 Battlefield Headquarters
    AFA 85 Groundbreaker

    Right shelf, top to bottom:
    AFA 85 pre-rub Jazz, both tape seals are gone
    AFA 80 pre-rub Bluestreak, both tape seals are gone
    AFA 80 pre-rub Trailbreaker, tape seal cut on one side
    AFA 75 Skids MISB
    AFA 85 Submarauder MISB
    AFA 85 Skullgrin MISB
    AFA 80 Chase MOSC, the last Throttlebot I needed for a couple years
    AFA 80 Chainclaw MISB
    AFA 80 Squawktalk/Beastbox MOSC
    AFA 70 Catilla MISB

    [​IMG]


    And that's all for now. As I've said, there are a few more items to add for collection pics. A few of them are AFA items, but mostly it's just carded figures that are MOSC.

    Sorry, it's already spoken for at this point. SQ7 wants one pretty bad so he has dibs. I remember when I got it he commented that I was "living the dream" of his. From there I promised to hand it over if I decide to part with it.

    If not for that, you would have dibs easy!

    I like your AFA 75 pre rub Optimus Prime with holes in trailer!

    I don't think I'll find an AFA 85 anytime soon.
