    This is such an impressive collection. Not only by what it has, but how its presented, lots of collectors (myself included) need to take learn something from your setup.

    I would worry about it to much dude, not everyone can afford to buy everitt single piece they want at once. That's the fun of collecting. You can always go back and pick up what you missed or thought you didn't want then at a later time. Also, being a fan and bring a collector are different things. I'm a fan of batman, but I don't collect that line, ya know? Don't be discouraged by larger collections, just do you and give props where you feel you should. Every collector started somewhere, :thumb .

    Sentinel, the additions are awesome dude. I'm jealous of your jetwing prime.. Can't decide if I want that or the stealth force striker prime though... Surely can't afford them both right now, :/

    Thats very good advice Omega. You certainly can't buy everything all at once, but piece by piece. I've been collecting since '97 so I've had some time to amass a collection of this size, otherwise it would be insanely expensive.

    Omega, thanks for the compliments, I do have Striker Prime coming as well :) . I am a bit of a Leader Prime whore as it is my all time favorite mold and I have all versions except for the 2-Pack Buster Prime (Buster Prime is the apex of TFs until Hercules eclipses him, but even then Leader Prime will be the single best figure ever). Having said that, I am almost obligated to get Striker, but I would have done so anyway; it is one badass looking figure, in both modes.

    Thanks, and yea, striker prime looks awesome. Just wish I could afford both.. But $200 for jet wing is to rich for my blood.. I can't justify the $250 for mp10, and I want that more than jetwing without a doubt.. Striker prime I may bite on though just to have a dotm ab'd prime that isn't three model kit.

    Yeah, I've got MP-10 coming as well, but it is currently living in my first POL. I've never tried it before because I have issues with waiting for things I want, but I am not as keen on that figure, so I can wait a bit and save a little on shipping.

    I also have 2 of the Not-Insecticons in my POL and I am weakening, so be on the lookout for an update sometime soon. I'll definitely ship it once Striker Prime drops as I am very excited about that guy after the latest batch of pics.

    I just caved and picked up the SWTF Quad Changer Darth Destroyer. I had a 20% off coupon to TRU and surprisingly, they weren't overcharging, so I grabbed him.

    He isn't as terrible as I expected, but he isn't nearly as cool as the Darth Star from a few years ago. There are some cool electronics and the alt modes are sufficiently big to be fun. I am pretty sure however that this purchase will complete my SWTF collection. Unless something super amazingly awesome cool comes out, I think I am most likely done. The last ship I wanted was a Star Destroyer, so now I am happy.

    Anyway, here are some pics:

    Star Destroyer (best mode of all 4):

    That is an amazing collection. If you don't mind me asking where did you get the frames to display your comics?

    I have been toying with a similar idea for a while but cannot find anything suitable.

    My girlfriend hooked me up and got all of the frames from Gordman's department store (primarily a Midwest franchise). I was able to get them for like 70% off, which obviously works for me.

    Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, we don't have a Gordman's department store in Australia but I think I may have found something similar at Ikea :D 

    Anyways, are the comics staying in place due to the pressure from the backing of the frame or did you have to do something to make them stay in place?

    The jet modes? They are flightpose stands. They are designed to display model airplanes and work exceedingly well for SS.

    I have taken pics of the Casuality Insecticons, but have yet to post them. I also have the sticker set for Not-Bombshell on the way and I'll post pics of that shortly.

    I should have Heavy Labor in-hand next week as well.
